Driving a cool, blues rock sound; The Blue Stones delivers great bar room music that goes well with a bottle of ice cold beer. This Ontario-based duo have been making music for a while and they've shared their edgy blues rock and roll style of music to plenty of fans. How's That Sound? is the second record for the duo. It's mixed and mastered by Brett Humber from the Sound Foundry. Combining a retro sound with some classic blues rock rhythms; each track resonates with a radio-friendly appeal that's hard to deny.

United Noise: Remix Theory

Valerie
If you're up for some industrial music, you'll find something to enjoy from this record by United Noise. Creating a dark, atmospheric, almost Rammstein vibe, Remix Theory is a complex album filled with synaptic beats and pulsating rhythms. The album was released back in 2011 and is described by the creators as "a remix album from a bunch of mental electro industrial techno heads who live in Scotland."

Frontline Commando: D-Day

Mel
Frontline Commando D-Day is the successor to the original Frontline Commando that came out in 2011. However, this time around it has been enhanced with superior graphics and sounds. As far third person shooters go Glu Mobile sets a high standard for the iOS and Android. Adding to the sense of realism is the intro showing black and white footage of the war, although when the game begins it is in full color and smooth graphics.
