Norma Jean ''BLESS the MARTYR and KISS the CHILD''
Norma Jean was formly known as Luti-Kriss and released 2 CDs under that name ''5ep'' and ''Throwing Myself''. Now they have released their 2nd full length and 1st as Norma Jean. The CD is full of crazy crazyness and Norma Jean has gotten even harder on this CD, the video for ''Face : Face'' wasn't the greatest but it gives you an idea of how crazy the band is. stand out songs include
The Entire World Is Counting on Me, and They Don't Even Know It
Face : Face
and
Pretty Soon, I Don't Know What, but Something Is Going to Happen

Superchic[k] ''Last One Picked''
ok i'll be the 1st to say that when Superchic[k] came out in 2000 i thought that they well... sucked! but then i got into them more and got their 1st CD ''Karaoke Superstars'' which is really cool unless your youth leader is playing it through the crappy speakers in the van and u wana hear ZAO. But on their 2nd album ''Last One Picked'' Superchic[k] has gotten like 90% better, with songs like ''Hero'' which talks about setting a good exsample to people who look up to you and ''Real'' which talks about being yourself and not careing if people don't like you and then there's just fun goofy songs like ''Song 4 Tricia (Princes and Frogs)''. Also the song ''Na Na'' features the crowd from Kingdom Bound 2002 singing along at the end and Aaron Smith of the CYM Mosh Team was in that crowd. stand oiut tracks are really almost every song but some of the cooler songs are
''Real''
''Hero''
and
''High School''
and you can buy the CD

and please do buy it becuz it's really good!

ZAO ''All Else Failed''
This is the latest CD from ZAO and will be their final CD with all new music, though the songs them selves are old and are from the original ''All Else Failed'' release in 1996, when ZAO recorded ''Parade Of Chaos'' in 2002 they decided to re-record 8 songs from ''All Else Failed'' and release them on a new ''All Else Failed'' CD released on Solid State Records with current singer Dan and current guitar player Scott. and even though this album only has 8 songs it's like 40min long and the final track ''All Else Failed'' has a killer outro, other stand out songs are the opener
Resistance
plus
In Loving Kindness
Foresight

Joy Electric ''The Tick Tock Treasury''
Joy Electric's Ronnie Martin has been in music projects such as Dance House Children and Rainbow Rider, but when he started Joy Electric in 1994 he wanted to stay away from the club dance music, which he did do very well if you really listen to his music. you could call Joy Electric's music synthpop but it's more than that, unlike most synth music every song sounds different ther'ye not all just a drum beat and some cool funky noise's with sad vocals, Joy Electric's drum beats are awesome with lots and lots of different sounds and the vocals sound strangely happy even if the song is sad (or he will have sad vocals that don't sound like crap). Stand out songs are ''(I AM) Made From The Wires...'', ''(Play Each Note) By Metronome'' J.E. Picturephone (Reflect You, I Connect You)'' and ''Saint Glockenspiel Science Faire'' plus all the other songs, go to
