Review: Drowning Pool – Strike A Nerve

Adam Grundy

Hard rockers Drowning Pool have returned with their latest full-length effort entitled Strike A Nerve. The band stormed onto the metal scene with their single “Bodies” in 2001 from their now-legendary record Sinner, but the untimely passing of original vocalist Dave Williams left the band unsure of where to turn to next. The lead vocalist turnstile would continue over the band’s tenure, as current lead vocalist Jasen Moreno is the latest to carry the mantle. Strike A Nerve sounds like a band re-focused, and hungry to take back the airwaves on the coveted Hard Rock radio top spot.

Review: Petal Crush – “Of Course Of Course” (Single Review)

Adam Grundy

Petal Crush comes from the talented mind of Andy Petrusky, who left behind a promising professional tennis career to devote his life to music. The latest single, called “Of Course Of Course” comes from the project’s new EP entitled Lucky Ever After, which will be released everywhere you stream your music on October 18th. This song channels a new wave-esque approach with its vibrant 80’s pop guitars that help frame the art around Petrusky’s vocals. The single unfolds nicely as it picks up momentum to a dream-pop chorus.

Petal Crush would fit in well for fans of The XX, Cold War Kids, and The Killers, and I came away fairly impressed with Petrusky’s approach to songwriting on this song that is fairly simple in its construction, yet has several earworms within it to be memorable. If this is the style that Petal Crush is going for, I’ll be very much looking forward to the rest of the material once Lucky Ever After drops later this month.
