In Like with 'I Love You, You're Awful'new
Except for the occasional awkward moments on the opening track when the lead singer's vocals remind me of Weird Al Yankovic (no offense, Al), I quite enjoy a fair amount of Ludo's You're Awful, I Love You.

'The Hopeful and Unafraid' Kicks off Strongnew
This starts off with an inspired mini-opus that, upon first listen, reminded me of a cross between Bruce Springsteen's Born To Run closer, "Jungleland," and The Who's Who's Next opener, "Baba O'Riley"; though it's really nothing like either of those songs, if that makes any sense. Yeah, I didn't think it would!

Fear Nuttin Band Get Spiritualnew
Evoking the spirit, if not quite the soul, of such reggae heavyhitters as Buju Banton and Toots and the Maytals (both of whom they've toured with) – not to mention the guitar-metal stylings of Living Colour's Vernon Reid – the Fear Nuttin Band hold their own within a crossbreeding genre that most certainly prides itself on breaking down the barriers of musical intolerance.

The Gun and Doll Show Frontman Goes Solo with 'Celebration Songs'new
A quick peek at the official website of San Francisco's apparently infamous rock 'n' roll band reveals that they "have appeared before standing-room-only crowds since 1993" and that they’ve "built a devoted following" due, in part, to "an outrageous stage presence." However, you'd never know it by hearing the recent solo release of Killian MacGeraghty's "Celebration Songs."
