Coriolis is just about the most charming, endearing collection of wintry-type songs one could wrangle.

"Champion Hologram" by Back When | Album Review

Posted by Cory Kibler on Fri, 01/20/2012 - 11:54am in album review, back when, carnival, cd, Cory Kibler, metal, omaha, review

Back When is clearly interested in making wonderfully sprawling and hard-to-define music.

High adventure on the seven seas! Epic battles with kraken-like creatures! Vacationing on beautiful beaches! Except … everyone kind of always dies.

Posted by HN staff on Thu, 11/10/2011 - 11:56am in album review, cd review, django g-s, down with the ship, love drunk, michael todd, music, nebraska

Down With the Ship drops in, drops out, tunes in, tunes out. Basically, they're dynamic beasts, but you might not always be prepared for that.

Posted by Cory Kibler on Mon, 09/26/2011 - 11:08am in album review, audio, Bro, Cory Kibler, flight metaphor, omaha, pubescent, robot, rock

Flight Metaphor is one of the bitchin’ rock bands in our indie-rock scene that could sell a million records if they got the right kind of attention.

"White Hat" by Big Harp | Album Review

Posted by Cory Kibler on Wed, 09/07/2011 - 11:57am in album review, Cory Kibler, drootin, finger chicken, kabob, omaha, saddle creek, senseney, walrus

Some men actually sound like men. On White Hat, we’ve got a bunch of rootin’-tootin’ road-ramblin’ gun-totin’ whiskey-drankin’ boot-tappin’ reverbed ragtime folk songs.

See where the Omaha scuzz musicians and a sinful duo out of London take punk traditions.
