Review: Delta Spirit - Delta Spirit
Delta Spirit goes hard in their third full–length effort. The Americana–influenced rock band trades in their polished and completely likeable indie sound for a grittier, fuller resonance.

WQHS's Review of The Cranberries: Roses
Roses finds all of the Cranberries’ original members plus original producer Stephen Street back together eleven years after their coda Wake Up and Smell the Coffee. It’s no wonder, then, that they are picking up right where they left off, with the same adult pop polish that made them one of greatest U.K.

Review: Careless World: Rise of The Last King - Tyga
Tyga has already made one full–length, but thanks to his mega–hit “Rack City,” Careless World: Rise of the Last King is effectively his debut into the rap mainstream.
Review: Act of Valor
One can only watch Daniel Craig save the world and shoot a gun so many times.
Review: Vision - Grimes
It is unbelievable that Visions, a phenomenal and complex pop album steeped with lush electronica, is a solo project.
Review: Reign of Terror — Sleigh Bells
Sleigh Bells’ highly–anticipated Reign of Terror starts off with an explosion: a screaming crowd, Alexis Krauss’s candy pop voice and Derek Miller’s bleeding guitar.
Review: Salmon Fishing In Yemen
It’s surprising that Salmon Fishing in the Yemen actually has to do with other things: it's about a depressed ichthyologist, a consultant and a spin–doctor who fund the title’s impossible ecological venture to shroud military disasters in the Middle East (based on a popular political satire of the same name). It’s also got romance, comedy, action, terrorism, transcendentalism and lots of aquatic symbolism — everything, really, except any trace of the scathing, political, “Wag the Fish” indictment it should really have.
Teas For All Seasons
The creation of an architect–turned–circus clown–turned–pastry chef–turned tea connoisseur, The House of Tea greets one with a surprisingly subdued interior — aside from the Barnum and Bailey Clown College class photo that hangs ominously over a doorframe. Despite the shop’s zany origins (the store is now owned by the aforementioned renaissance man’s daughter), it offers a truly remarkable variety of teas from every corner of the world, with a friendly staff happy to share their vast knowledge of the store’s offerings. The intimidating number of teas, stored in beautiful brass jars of black and gold, are stacked atop one another in apothecary–style mahogany compartments covering an entire wall.

It has been many moons since Taylor Momsen and Little Jenny Humphries (nee Cindy Lou Who) parted ways in a somewhat dramatic fashion.
