'The Voice': Tony Lucca & Justin Hopkins Have Bright Post-Show Futures
Neither of them won Season 2 of NBC's The Voice, but rockers Tony Lucca and Justin Hopkins are doing very well for themselves regardless.
Lucca, who was Team Adam's finalist and ultimately the third-place finisher, was signed to Adam Levine's 222 Records recently. During an interview backstage before his concert in San Diego, he talked about how the deal came together.
"Once it was decided that Universal [Music Group, the label associated with The Voice and which holds options on all of its contestants after production] wasn’t going to move forward with some type of project with me and ...

Kyle Patrick Follows His Heartbeat And Goes For Gold
What do you get when you mix three dance tracks with a ballad and a famous classic from the good ol’ ‘70s era? Kyle Patrick is what you get. Kyle Patrick is a self-titled five-track EP released by, well, Kyle Patrick. Kyle’s name may not be familiar to most, but I’m sure most people would know who this guy is when I say three words: The Click Five.
Yes, Kyle Patrick (affectionately known by his fans as the Snackdragon) is the front-man of Bostonian rock band The Click Five, best known for their hits “Jenny”, “Just The Girl” and more recently, “Don’t Let Me Go”. Together with the band, Kyle...

CD Review: Duran Duran - 'Diamond in the Mind: Live 2011'
Recorded at the MEN Arena in Manchester, England, Duran Duran’s Diamond in the Mind: Live 2011 finds the band heavily tipping their cap to the classics, while still focusing on the here and now, specifically their most recent long player, All You Need Is Now. Diamond in the Mind: Live 2011 spends a good amount of time running through the annals of the bands body of work, as this crafted setlist fires off one radio staple after another (“Planet Earth,” “Hungry Like the Wolf,” “The Reflex”), interspersed with more recent cuts (“All You Need Is Know,” “Blame the Machines,” “Girl Panic!”), thou...

CD Review: Dead Sara - Self Titled
While Dead Sara may have graduated from the garage to the studio on their eponymous debut, the band still saved enough of their loud-as-hell, powerhouse songwriting style to go around here. From the bombastic opening salvo “Whispers & Ashes,” Dead Sara is a tidal wave of thunderous sounds and noises, which somehow get effectively collated into a cohesive end product as evidenced by the following pair of tracks, “We Are What You Say” and “Weatherman.” Vocalist Emily Armstrong is a hidden gem of a voice that just cries out to be heard, and when she pairs with the killer, booming guitar work, ...
READ MORECD Review: Altars - 'Conclusions'
Altars’ Conclusions is a record riddled with pratfalls, though some of these songs do offer up something of a redeeming quality. But still, those album pitfalls persist, like the majority of these songs blending together, sounding the same and coming off as nothing more than boring, and while early entries such as “Red Brick Army” and “Scum” lead the charge early on in Conclusions, those pratfalls quickly catch up and cause the record to slow and ultimately fade down the stretch. This album is full of what you’d expect from a band of this ilk – breakdowns, bass drops, callouts, gang vocals,...

Album Review: Maroon 5, 'Overexposed'
One has to admire the sharp wit that's evident in Maroon 5 naming their new album Overexposed. Even better, though, is that their fourth studio album reminds us of what makes them so good: reinventing themselves over and over again without a decline in quality.
If you must, categorize them as a pop-rock band, but the Los Angeles rockers have employed so many different sounds over the course of four studio albums - and successfully so - that to classify them feels like a disservice. Overexposed is another diverse outing, with the reggae-infused lead track "One More Night" sounding differe...

Concert Review: 'The Voice's' Vicci Martinez and Jamar Rogers
Call it the concert tour with a big heart. The Voice artists Vicci Martinez and Jamar Rogers are performing together, and made their first-ever stop in San Diego Thursday with great results.
The two come from two different seasons of the NBC show - Vicci was the Team Cee Lo finalist in the first year and Jamar was a semifinalist on Team Cee Lo in the second run - but you'd never know that based on their set at San Diego's Anthology. Their interactions showed a chemistry as if they had been on the same team.
In a sense, perhaps they are, because they are very similar artists. It's not ne...
