Detroit7 Interview
by Fred Verhoeven
Detroit7 is a trio from Tokyo, Japan that I liked from the first time I heard them. I got a chance to see them live this past March in San Francisco during their stop at The Independent as part of the Japan Nite 2008 Tour. They rocked the house and were
easily the best band of the line-up and my level of liking them shot up to them being my favorite band right now.

FILM REVIEW
Cadillac Records Is A Cinematic Love Letter To The Blues
Review by John Curley
Cadillac Records, while certainly not 100 percent factually correct, is a terrific film that tells the story of the Chicago blues label Chess Records and its incredible stable of artists. Those artists included Muddy Waters, Howlin’ Wolf, Willie Dixon, Little Walter, Chuck Berry, and Etta James. Great performances abound and the music is fantastic. To read Powerline A.D.’s review of the film, click here.

Archons
"The Consequences of Silence" (2008)
Review by Marc Garrison
Every once in a while you come across an album that hits you in a way not many others have, or ever will. You don’t know why you know it, but you feel it with an absolute certainty. Archons, one of countless bands fighting for a place in the extremely crowded Canadian Death Metal scene, have created just one of those albums. <MORE>
