Curious - The Intimate Stranger

Download Album

German alternative goth band promises a good haunting. For many people, The Cure was the "be all and end all" of the Gothic rock scene. Curious, however, aims to make their own mark in the genre.

Almost by foresight, Curious initially traversed their musical dreams by becoming a cover band of The Cure. Although they subsequently created their own music, it doesn't take a genius to see where their influence came from.

The Intimate Stranger includes 10 tracks that powerfully channels The Cure during their Disintegration days.

Redmind's No Face might sound typical and the band might not break any boundaries with their music, but they do manage to pull through and create a solid sounding demo.

A Naive Push to Escapism - Free Creative Commons Licensed Album From PUSH

Download Album

The music of PUSH is fundamentally innovative ambient rock that is easy to listen to because of the interesting combination of soft to loud percussions and upbeat melody that builds up slowly in most of the tracks.

What stands out for me is “Dream Sequence” because it is the kind of song that could take on any insomnia bug quite easily. Right now, it’s in my “bedtime playlist.”

Helldorados - Just Rock

Download Album

Hardcore rock and roll that spells out what it means to have balls. Okay, so maybe I'm just a sucker for bands that don't take themselves too seriously, but still make fun, kickin' music. Helldorados is definitely this type of band, hence, falling for them is not very difficult.

Just Rock is a compilation of 11 tracks that are as rock and roll as can be. It's a mix of late 80s glam rock, with the chant vocals, and guitar licks. Although it might not be "spectacular," the album is good fun to listen to especially if you want to pass away the time.
