I miss good lyrics, sometimes it seems as if bands donâ??t care about good content. For some the music has become a competition trying to see who can be the loudest, for those who do pay the lyrics a little more attention itâ??s a pissing contest to see who can be the saddest or fueled with the most anger. It could be because most people are more concerned with the drive and the rhythm than the words that move them, maybe Iâ??m wrong and more people pay attention to the lyrics than I think who really knows. Still if I had to make a list of bands that give as much love and devotion to the words as the music Liquefaction would definitely be in my top 10. if you havenâ??t had a chance to pick up the new disc Emerge, your missing out, not only is full of sensual danceable beats, but it has lyrics that could even give Tori Amos a run for her money. After a brief break and a bit of relocation Liquefaction has reinvented itself with a richer fuller sound and is poised to explode back onto the scene. I got the chance to sit down with the new version of Liquefaction to find out where they go from here.

The music industry sucks, but Iâ??m sure youâ??re all aware of that. Day in and day out weâ??re saturated with the same 5 bands with the same 10 songs. Most of us are so tired of it we donâ??t feel the need to pay for the music anymore, just downloading the few tunes that we like and moving on. Out at the clubs it isnâ??t much better. Every now and again you find a DJ who isnâ??t afraid to experiment with some new stuff or something a little more underground, but those people are pretty few and far between. All too often we see labels pushing the formula and good bands are left hanging in the wind. Itâ??s a pretty sad state of affairs. However itâ??s the sorry state of the music industry the make bands like DIVERJE and their label DSBP a breath of fresh air. Fronted by DSBP owner Tommy T, DIVERJE is one of those bands that embodies the independent/ underground music is all about. Constantly evolving, working with a variety of artists to push the music further with a mix of harsh melodies and honest lyrics, you may be hard pressed to find anything much better that their latest effort The Distortion Chamber. So tonight we sit down with Tommy T and pick his brain on music, life and, DIVERJE.

Every now and again a band comes around that is musical crack. In my humble opinion A Happy Death is one of those bands. Iâ??ve been hooked on their blend of Goth, punk and pop since I got their demo a few weeks ago, and became an even bigger fan after seeing them live. So when lead singer and band founder Rick came by for an interview I wasnâ??t sure what to expect. The only thing I knew for sure is that this was going to be fun, and Rick is not one to disappoint in the fun department! As we drink rum and coke I am regaled with stories of the man the band and strength.

There is nothing worse than being stuck in traffic in a rainy day. All I want to do is go home and get out of the rain. While waiting at a stoplight I glance to my right catching the eye of a cute guy in a silver car idling next to me. Olive skin with dark eyes and with dark brown hair he flashes a brilliant white smile at me. I nod and smile back. Nothing wrong with a little flirting to break the tedium of rush hour traffic. As the light changes the silver car buts on his turn signal and falls in line behind me in traffic. A few miles down the road we come to another light. The silver car pulls along side me on the left. Again the handsome driver smiles at me Again I smile in return enjoying the flirtation. This goes on for several more blocks.
