Featured Review Who does Phantom Planet sound like? According to their record company, everyone but the Strokes. According to Austin Bonner, they sound like no one but the Strokes. And that's not so bad.
Latest Reviews The Thrills Ireland's newest "It" band proves there's a little California surfer dude in all of us with their latest, "So Much for the City." David Banner/Juvenile Southern school products David Banner and Juvenile diverge as one goes dirty, the other is going deep. The Offspring They're still getting by on wacky charm, but this time around, on "Splinter," the results come off as mediocre at best. They Walk ... Spacey guitars? Candy-floss? Welshmen? Check. Debut CD has all that, but the band needs a little room to breathe. Oliver Future What could be a nice little local rock band has come out with a debut CD that could make it the very next big thing.		Dani Siciliano What does the club DJ and jazz singer like? She shows the world on "Likes ..." an experimental, engaging CD. Eisley It might only be a four-song EP, but Tyler-based Eisley's "Marvelous Things" is a swirling, harmonious wonder to be heard. CD Box Sets The staffers at XL appraise over two dozen CD box sets that are present-worthy, and some that, let's just say, aren't. Keys/Kelis Alicia Keys and Kelis both have new records out: one gets hot -- sorta, the other stays so cool she's practically on fire. Gorch Fock This self-titled debut CD takes up the gauntlet of continuing a long Austin tradition of creating scuzzy noise rock.
