		<title>Review: Paul Stanley &#8211; Live to Win</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A review of KISS member Paul Stanley’s solo release.

Artist Name: Paul Stanley
Album Name: Live to Win
Year: 2006
Genre: Rock
When I first heard the title single, ‘Live to Win’, I thought it was exactly what contemporary rock needed – a swift kick up the musical ass by the living legend, Paul Stanley. The track epitomises everything that rock should be about: melody, strong vocals, rhythm, and great guitar work.
Stanley’s lyrics haven’t changed much since his KISS days. The style and content are similar, but more passionate – as most of the tracks ...]]></description>

		<title>Lark V</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
LARK’s music scales from glitch-opera to alternative-electro with thrashing alternative influences, coupled with abstract and poetic lyricisms, LARK offer a sonic delight mostly enjoyed by those who are partial to the more sophisticated style of music making.
In their 4 years together LARK won over a largely uneducated audience in the realm of glitch-electro, sealing their reputation as one of the great alternative bands of South Africa by winning the SAMA award for ‘Best Alternative’ album. They were invited to tour Germany, Poland, Reunion and the Seychelles and went on to ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[After the recent success of our Top 10 Most Metal Supervillains article, we’ve been thinking of some more fun posts to write – and voila! Lo and behold, here is another beauty. A special thanks goes out to Clyde Becker who suggested the original idea to MusicReview.
10. Looney Tunes


C’mon! The name says it all.
9. Beavis and Butthead


While they have no musical (or any actual) talent whatsoever, they’d make perfect roadies or back-up headbangers to any rock band.

		<description><![CDATA[
In a recent interview with Rolling Stone magazine, legendary rocker Keith Richards hinted at the possibility of a new Rolling Stones album in 2010.

		<title>Review: Wednesday 13 &#8211; Fang Bang</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Sergio reviews Wednesday 13’s Fang Bang.

Artist Name: Wednesday 13

Whilst different from Transylvania 90210, Fang Bang still manages to enhance Mr. 13’s reputation as the new leader of the horror rock movement.
Drawing inspiration from punk and sleaze rock, the album’s sound is relatively simple and revolves around the traditional power-chord approach. ...]]></description>
