Text by @KralTunes I am not a fan of contemporary country music. The twang, the “country rebels” that look like they just walked off of an Ambercrombie photo shoot, and the fact that 99% of male country singers sound EXACTLY alike…are kind of a turn off. Not to mention, I defy you to find one countryContinue reading “ZAC BROWN BAND, AND THE TEN COMMANDMENTS OF COUNTRY MUSIC”

ALABAMA SHAKES: SOUND AND COLOR
@KralTunes Let the revival rage on! ALABAMA SHAKES’ newest album, Sound And Color, expands on the 60’s/70’s soul/rock hybrid of their debut album and brings plenty of da funk (but not too much funk…excess funk can lead to all kinds of trouble). To keep things fresh, Alabama Shakes introduce several new wrinkles into the mix. Sound and Color starts with aContinue reading “ALABAMA SHAKES: SOUND AND COLOR”
Courtney Barnett
***Opinions in this article are those of @KralTunes, and not necessarily shared by Tonight At Dawn*** Courtney Barnett is the type of artist that is rarely seen around these musical parts these days: a clever lyricist with an actual message to convey. Her newest album, Sometimes I Sit and Think and Sometimes I Just Sit, has beenContinue reading “Courtney Barnett”
Silk Rhodes
Text by KralTunes ***Opinions expressed in this article are not endorsed nor representative of Tonight At Dawn*** Baltimore’s Sasha Desree and Michael Collins pay homage to the soulful funk of the late 70’s in their self-titled release, SILK RHODES. The intro (aptly dubbed INTRO) serves up some funky R&B instrumentals that segue into the lead single.Continue reading “Silk Rhodes”
Party Like It’s 1999
Text & Photos by K. Cecchini Pearl Jam tees wrapped in flannel. Glow sticks, dog tags, REM’s “Losing My Religion” and black light highlighting the lint on my sweater. AND Dwayne Wayne flip glasses. Yes, people were partying like it was 1999. To compliment its’ freshest exhibit, Come As You Are, the Montclair Art Museum balanced all ofContinue reading “Party Like It’s 1999”

The TORCHE Awakens
@kraltunes ‘FEEL GOOD METAL’, much like ‘DOOM SOUL‘. is a phrase I never expected to use in a positive context. If Doom Soul is the type of music that Darth Vader unwinds to after torturing a rebel alliance, then Feel Good Metal must be what Ewoks dance and sing to after helping Cindel defeat Terak (HUUUGE brownie points forContinue reading “The TORCHE Awakens”
Imagine Dragons: Smoke + Mirrors
IMAGINE DRAGONS: A band that seemingly appeared out of nowhere onto the music landscape, destined to provide us with gi-normous anthems that are played ad nauseum on seemingly every pop station and CW television series. Admittedly, I know very little about this group (other than the previous album’s singles), so rather than bore the alreadyContinue reading “Imagine Dragons: Smoke + Mirrors”
The Pluto Moons: A Bowl of Mush
@KralTunes, written for @tonightatdawn When I was younger, my sister and I would sleep over our grandparents every so often, and my grandfather would make us his specialty for dinner; roast beef, mashed potatoes, peas, carrots (sometimes, but hopefully not) and gravy. Sounds generic, but you see, it was all in the presentation. Rather thanContinue reading “The Pluto Moons: A Bowl of Mush”
HTRK: That’s Some Cold (Body) Lotion
KralTunes for @tonightatdawn 3 songs, 11 minutes, thats all the time HTRK — pronounced “Hate Rock”, gives its fans with its newest release, BODY LOTION. Fortunately, that is all the time they need to deliver a trio of tracks that can be best described as: Sleepy, droning music equivalent to resting on an Ambien lifeContinue reading “HTRK: That’s Some Cold (Body) Lotion”
