Review of 'Love Kills' by This Is A Shakedown!

The Electro-rock band that-shakes-you-down and makes you sweat comes from Cleveland, Ohio where This is A Skakedown! has already been nominated as the hottest group in the area. Having conquered the tallest place in the local scene podium, the quartet seems determined to push on. A few days ago, I read on their myspace page that the band is ready to write another album, but I think that would be too much to enjoy, seeing as how Love Kills is taking with it a smooth fresh breeze of renovation in the rock-pop culture. The band has all the numbers to be globally recognized and to start thinking 'internationally'.

Love Kills is an album that runs at 100 mph with apparently no stops along the way, until the 10th track, which is a cover of Frank Sinatra's Funny Valentine, performed with a slow punk-metal feel. Circles, the album's opening track, already tells you from the first beats what you are about to face: a new power rock band with a strong groove and a remarkable sound. The band was born to make you move and the dance elements are prominent throughout the album. Tracks like Love Kills, Can't Stop, Oh!, and Come and Cut My Heart Out make it virtually impossible to sit still. If I had a friend who was a rock fan, I would recommend Love Kills. On some tracks, I can see 'evocations' of U2. Take for example the guitars in Electric Sound, where even the vocals reminded me of Bono Vox. 80's influences can be seen as well in the progressive sound of Radio.

Regardless of the dance elements on the album, great bands don't forget about rock. Tracks like You Make Me Wanna and The Beat show that This Is A Shakedown! hasn’t forgotten about the rock essentials. The horrible beauty of Caving In closes the scene and helps to remind you of what you have been listening to for the past 43 minutes. Again this is a great album, with lots of great tunes. This is a Shakedown! is a strong rock band supported by a fair rhythm section that rotates around a great front-man. I would give Love Kills a 10/10 because every song is a worthwhile listen, and they all contain the good elements of rock & roll.

Acclaimed Singer Songwriter Winifred Adams Releases "You Are My Rose" As A Mothers Day Tribute

Winifred's song "You Are My Rose" is the perfect tribute to one of the most important people in all of our lives, our Mothers. As Winifred says, "It's always been my intent to help people feel better from the inside out!" and this single will be sure to be the perfect tribute to your mom this Mothers Day!

After being discovered by a major music producer in Canada while shooting an exercise video, singer/songwriter, Winifred Adams, returned home with an audio tape in hand-instead of an exercise video! Very quickly, Winifred gained her first sponsor. Less than one year later, she made her debut in front of the Colorado Rockies 50,000 hometown crowd and went on to complete her first album. She landed on tv, set up distribution in major retail chains and sang at several of her own shows. Her original demo reached radio several times in different states, featuring different versions of her title song, "You Are My Rose." On an exciting adventure, Winifred went on to sing at Shea Stadium several times and numerous pro & semi-pro sports events.

2009 has begun with a run of world-wide radio play on major stations as well as internet and tv radio. All of her songs have been chosen for airplay and each year her special version of Santa Baby is played both domestically and now world-wide! Her songs have been featured on radio stations all across the country and the world.

"The 'House Of Rock' setting was really intimate with dim lighting and candles all around. We were in the middle of performing of a new song called 'Walk on Fire' and I was bashing a tambourine with my foot, when my foot slipped and smashed the candle holder leaving a sprawling flame rolling out toward the camera's and igniting the floor. I'm surprised I was allowed to stay! It was certainly the right song choice!" - The Fortunate Sons www.kerchoonz.com/thefortunatesons
