CD REVIEW: ASHES DIVIDE by Tommy Monger

ASHES DIVIDE’s new and highly anticipated CD “Keep Telling Myself It’s Alright” lived up to the hype. This CD was both magnetic and poetic and will be fresh new tracks for all alternative listiners out there.

The guitars on this CD completely complemented the rest of the tracks on here, meaning when they needed to work with a piano or have a little meat, they did just that. There’s been a lot of different thoughts on whether or not the songs sounded like APC, and personally I think some did, such as the song “Enemies”.

The lyrics and vocals were personally the biggest highlights for me on this, mainly because in every song the both flowed perfectly. Over all this CD was very impressive. It wasn’t boring or repetitive, nor was it simple and plain.

It had a nice touch of intricacy and also the pure sound of alternative music. If your a fan of this kind of music, this CD surely won’t disappoint.

The House that Ikea is Designing

We’ve been so fortunate to work on the Swept Away Media house and office with the great folks at Ikea.  Thanks to Chantal and Jenny, the house that we have our studio and office in is being transformed to a really cool place.  Here the first picture of the inside with many more to come.  Check out the colors-gray, green, orange and blue!
