Everything’ll Be Alright – Joshua Radin

By Zack Bernardin, Staff Writer Time for a feel-good song. Why? I don’t know. Just cuz. Here’s a little taste of Joshua Radin and his acoustics.

6 Underground – Sneaker Pimps

By Zack Bernardin, Staff Writer Ok, I’m here. Ahhhhh. Now back to work. I go through musical moods. Sometimes I’m into jazz. Sometimes I’m into rock. Sometimes all I’ll do is sit in my room and listen to Counting Crows for hours and hours. Over the summer, I got into a Jack Johnson/Pearl Jam/Jimi Henxrix/Nirvana [...]

Baron Boombox: Love and Addiction – Counting Crows

By Zack Bernardin, Staff Writer Just as Switchfoot could quite possibly be Alex’s favorite band, Counting Crows is mine.

By Zack Bernardin, Staff Writer Finally! It’s about time I got back to the Baron Boombox! Continuing with my electronica addiction, I present to you Fischerspooner.

Baron Boombox: Escalates – Falling Up

By Alex Chiang, Staff Writer Not quite Linkin Park, but oh so close, Falling Up’s first album mixes the synth and the sensitive piano with the blaring guitars and the heavy bass. Though Ribordy’s lyrics are a bit more outstanding than his vocals, he does not skimp on melody writing. The backing vocals are nice [...]

Baron Boombox: My Generation – Starfield

  By Alex Chiang, Staff writer I don’t know what it is about Canadian bands that is so awesometastic.  But they really are awesometastic.  Starfield is a Canadian band.  ’Nuff said. My Generation is a haunting rock ballad with cryptic yet epic lyrics.  Fitted with strong falsetto and stronger guitars, Starfield doesn’t hesitate to bang [...]

Baron Boombox: Smooth – Santana (feat.) Rob Thomas

By Zack Bernardin, Staff writer There are many different kinds of rock. For example, there’s quick pop rock, dark heavy rock, screaming metal rock, folk countryish rock, smooth acoustic rock, and so on. This is a very special kind of rock. This is the no-kidding kinda rock. Be careful, because you might not be used to it, [...]

Baron Boombox: This Airplane Is A Ribbon – Sherwood

By Alex Chiang, Staff writer You know those songs that just make you want to get in your car and drive down PCH until you run out of gas?  This is one of them.  And unfortunately, gas prices are going up. With obvious Beach Boy influences, Sherwood is progressive alternative’s and old-fashioned rock’s beloved child [...]
