It is said that repeating certain words three times can conjure up bad luck. “Candyman” leads to murder, “Beetlejuice” brings forth dangerous mischief, and “Biggie Smalls” makes the soul of an overrated deceased rapper appear. One other word can now be added to that list: “World.” By repeating this word three times, a much uninspired album will be bestowed upon an unlucky band. In 2008 it happened with Asian Kung-Fu Generation.  This time the victim is Orange Range, and wow is it vomit-inducing!

In 2009, after spending the last three years working with the Raconteurs, Brendan Benson returned with his fourth solo album.

On their sophomore album My Paper Kingdom, Eyeshine takes the listeners through a place where a changing world can cause turmoil on any struggling musician. Where the failures of the present meet are where Johnny Yong Bosch and company tend to discover their biggest strengths.

Some may be familiar with Sawa. If you've ever played the DS game The World Ends With You (or すばらしきこのせかい in Japanese) her vocals appears in three of the songs that are featured in the soundtrack. That was merely a taste of what listeners can expect from her eclectic debut album 333.

I was one of many that was sad to see Death From Above 1979 break up years ago. They were a band that consisted of a bassist and a drummer making some of the most hardcore, heavy rocking tracks in a vein that not even Jack & Meg White could've attempted to do. I thought that it'd be years before another band like that would appear at my footstep. Fortunately I was wrong when Japanese band moja's self-titled debut album was placed in my hand.

We here at the Boston Bastard Brigade would like to present to you our next free live album.

Imperfections aside, Molice's second album is a fun and enjoyable listen that will certain keep fans new and old entertained,.

For over ten years Japan's Stance Punks have gathered a big following, and for good reason: their sound blends the past, the present and the future of the punk world. The World Is Mine -- their sixth and most recent full-length album -- is not just a reminder of why Tsuru and company are the best in the industry; it's a rally cry for our generation.
