Stellar Young Everything At Once5.0
Session 606 REBIRTH5.0
The song structure, lyrical content, vocal performance, and instrumentals hint at a bright career! This debut is remarkable.
Josh Benash The Dismal; The Beautiful5.0
Like with the previous Kiss Kiss releases, I never want The Dismal; The Beautiful to end. I'm quite content with
hitting repeat, and continue to discover new parts that went over my head with the previous listen. This album
feels like stripped down Kiss Kiss, with the heart and soul still there. The record begins with sort of a
Radiohead feel and finishes off reminding me how much I love Pink Floyd's earlier material. Halfway through, I
can't stop crying to "The Worst." The album title is perfect. The Dismal; The Beautiful is awe-inspiring, witty,
trippy, delightfully wacky, intelligent, unique, musically ept... The Dismal; The Beautiful is Josh Benash.
2011
3 (USA) The Ghost You Gave To Me5.0
3 is one of those bands that can never disappoint, as long as you listen with open ears. The band began in the
early 90's as a Pop Funk Rock outfit consisting of Josh Eppard, Joey Eppard, and Chris Bittner. The latter
moved on to Applehead Recording and Production where he has been the house Engineer/Producer for the
past decade. Chris Bittner produced the album in my #1 and also engineered The Ghost You Gave To
Me. He is currently producing Coheed and Cambria's 6th album (the past 2 Co&Ca albums were done
elsewhere - 3 hadn't worked with Chris Bittner since the debut album, Paint By Number). Drummer, Josh
Eppard, left 3 to pursue a career in studio drumming (mostly at Applehead) and eventually joined Coheed and
Cambria. Most are not aware that 3 is Coheed and Cambria's progenitor.

Now, 3 has taken a heavier direction- laden with poly-rhythms. When I listen to The Ghost You Gave To
Me I'm unsure if I should bang my head or shake my hips! I have yet to come across another band that
confuses my musical response so greatly. Every single song on this album is incredible. Joey Eppard's vocals
are unmatched, as is his hybrid slap/flamenco style of playing guitar. This record is truly unique, and should
be listened to from start to finish.
Thrice Major/Minor4.5
Over the past decade, Thrice matured beautifully. This record is heavy, melodic, passionate. Stupendous final album to go out on hiatus with!
Weerd Science Sick Kids5.0
Josh Eppard wore his heart on both sleeves (both literally and figuratively) during this record. Its truly a
cinematic aural masterpiece, allowing the audience to look into and experience Mr. Eppard's downfall as he
descended into the dark world of drug abuse, comfortably leaving a platinum-selling, genre-defining rock
band and blowing all that success money on the habit.

With the help of his friends, Weerd Science throws this heavy shit on us while still entertaining us with his
cleverly crude humor, and blowing our minds with his technical skill. Not only does Science have a one-of-a-
kind flow, but he also rocks multiple instruments- giving the album a truly organic feel.

Despite having been selected by Modern Drummer magazine as the 5th best Progressive Rock drummer in
2006, Josh Eppard left Coheed and Cambria mid-tour overseas, just a few months later. He became consumed
by Heroin, and was only able to climb out through the music. Now at the end of 2011, Eppard is back in
Coheed and Cambria, working on their 6th album.
Moving Mountains Waves5.0
So. Much. Emotion. Moving Mountains designs such beautiful soundscapes. Each and every song on
this album contains enough dynamics and intensity to- move mountains.
Glassjaw Coloring Book5.0
It's not often that we hear from Glassjaw. Their last full album, Worship and Tribute, was released in 2002. In
2006 GJ premiered a handful of new songs live. We couldn't get our hands on studio versions on those tracks
until fall 2010, when Glassjaw began to release vinyl singles- once a month. The releases culminated in the
digital release of Our Color Green on January 1st, 2011. Then Glassjaw announced that there would be
ANOTHER EP, consisting of entirely new songs, and that it would ONLY be available during their upcoming
tour. Concert attendees were handed a physical copy of The Coloring Book upon leaving the venue.

This EP shows an evolved side of Glassjaw. It starts loud and nasty, but ends softly and sweet. It's without a
doubt, the EP I listened to most in 2011.
