The Year Million: The Year Million

When it comes to alternative rock, the genre is often littered with bands that all sound the same. However, occasionally there are bands who up-the-anti and deviate from the usual mix to bring their own brand of sound; The Year Million seems poised to do this. This Boston-based band is made up of Scott House (vocals), Jason Calieri (guitar), John Salogiannis (bass), Rob Wu (drums), and Bjørn-Atle Reme (synth). Together, they play their own flavor of indie alternative rock. Creating subtle and enjoyable melodies that garner comparison to bands like Queens of the Stone Age.

Wordfued

Wordfeud, developed by Bertheussen IT, is a cross-platform multiplayer puzzle game. Come up with bigger and better words, challenge friends or random opponents, and play up to 30 separate games simultaneously. It is pretty much like scrabble for your iPhone and Android. It's played on a 15x15 board with virtual tiles offering double or triple letter scores on the individual letters or the whole word if you cover them up. Just like the old board game you play one word from your seven letter tiles, refill your rack with letters from a tile pool as you use them and then it's your opponent's turn. When the pool is empty and there are no tiles for making words, the highest score wins.

KIDS: Summer Frights EP

Assuming that most readers here are music lovers, then at some point you must have started, dabbled or thought about starting your own band. Some make it, a few start and soon after lose interest, while others actually become good at what they do and stick around a bit. Summer Frights from KIDS is one band that has stuck around. All of the members are under 20 and even though there's still room for growth; there's already plenty potential brewing from their pot. The album contains fresh and unpretentious original tracks along with one very lovely cover of the Ronettes track, Be My Baby.
