"Contextual Doom" by Capgun Coup | Album Review

Posted by Michael Todd on Mon, 05/07/2012 - 9:13am in album review, capgun coup, contextual doom, samuel segrist, team love

Don't let them fool you: Capgun Coup is well-versed on rock bands dating all the way back to the 1960s. Maybe they just don't want that label.

"With You" by In Love | Album Review

Posted by Michael Todd on Sat, 04/07/2012 - 10:48am in album review, in love, music, nebraska, samuel segrist, with you

Ah, summer. It's just around the bend. Take yourself there ahead of schedule with In Love's debut album.

"Dude Won't Die" by Dude Won't Die | Album Review

Posted by Cory Kibler on Fri, 03/30/2012 - 11:02am in album review, Cory Kibler, dude won't die, knickerbockers, sound & shape, Time Hammer

Conceptually, DWD has made an interesting and unorthodox record. Just don't listen to it with your less-progressive relatives.

"Conduits" by Conduits | Album Review

Posted by Michael Todd on Tue, 03/20/2012 - 9:36am in album review, Conduits, samuel segrist

Conduits keep to a common subject throughout their debut album: the dreamscape. Its eight tracks make up one of the strongest first releases in awhile.

"Discovering and Deciphering Your Value as a Human Being" by Universe Contest | Album Review

Step on the set of Universe Contest's EP at the corner of 14th and O streets in Lincoln. Roll camera, and action.

"Way Out West" by Alli and I | Album Review

Posted by Michael Todd on Wed, 03/07/2012 - 3:30pm in album review, alli and i, andrew standley, dawn thorfinnson, lucky stars photography, way out west

Alli (the guitar) and I (Andrew Standley) craft an album tailor-made for Nebraska. If only it were just a little longer.

"Hold On To This" by The JV Allstars | Album Review

Posted by Cory Kibler on Fri, 02/24/2012 - 11:15am in album review, Cory Kibler, hold on to this, JVA, pop-punk

As I listen to JVA's new full-length record, Hold On To This, it’s somewhat shocking to me that JVA isn’t internationally famous. 

"First By Water Then By Fire" by Orion Walsh | EP Review

Posted by Michael Todd on Wed, 02/08/2012 - 11:30am in album review, ep review, folk, indie, michael todd, nebraska, orion walsh, plan c records, the hunter records

Orion Walsh has a few opinions. Opinions about the end of the world, the Bible, war, oil. He's made an EP to communicate them.

"Razors Are Back America" by Razors | CD Review

Posted by Michael Todd on Mon, 02/06/2012 - 9:30am in album review, darren keen, music, nebraska, razors

Give Razors credit: Razors Are Back America is experimental in a good way. Don't ease into the madness, though. Dive straight in.

"Sound Expression" by Touch People | Album Review

Posted by GlowormGo on Fri, 01/27/2012 - 12:50pm in album review, darren keen, illegal art, joe younglove, sound expression, touch people

HN contributor Joe Younglove says the Lincoln artist's newest EP brings electronic music to life.
