Glass Canons

I have a big soft spot for Americana. That's why I jumped at the chance to review Glass Canons, when they popped up on my radar.

Hailing from Dallas, Texas Glass Canons are an Alternative Americana duo (Kilynn Weber and Gabriel Guerra) - and their songs really capture the soul of the genre.

For example, check out their song, Glenvil:


Glenvil paints a very deep portrait or a state of being, mind, heart (what have you) that - if you've not felt it through personal experience - you WILL feel after listening to this song. I've listened to it at least ten times in a row, and each time I find an instrumental nuance and grow fonder of how the lyrics and vocals mesh perfectly with the music to move the listener.

You can check out Glass Cannons on their official site and on ReverbNation. If you want to keep up with their latest news, find out about upcoming shows, and just see what they're doing for fun, you can follow Glass Canons on Facebook and Twitter.

Sonic Radiation - Ionized

For those familiar with Sonic Radiation, you know he's been putting out new and innovative electronic music since 2003. The Dallas-based artist never forgets his roots - drawing from classic industrial groups like Front Line Assembly and Front 242, and being able to use that to forge new territory, seeing where the state of the genre is now, and what it could (and should) be.

Sonic Radiation's music can be found on Amazon and iTunes, and having heard the new track, Ionized, I can say that I'm a convert. This is the type of music I want to be played at clubs, and this particular track has many intricate layers - the type of music I would listen to for dancing, contemplating the sky at night, or even as a background soundtrack for playing Tempest 2000.

If you want to learn more about Sonic Radiation, and listen to more of his music or see some of the awesome videos, you should head on over to the official Sonic Radiation site, now, and prepare to nuke your mind.
