Review of Deastro – Moondagger (by Jeff Milo)
Jeff Milo of The Real Detroit Weekly and Deep Cutz blog asked us if we might publish his review of Deastro’s Moondagger. We, of course, said of course. Moondagger feels so human. For all its synth-wrung furls and precise rhythms pulsing from that preconceived-computer-perfected genre of electro-pop, it is added a fleshy tremulous pound, a [...]

Quadruple CD Release Prom at The Crofoot, Friday, Detroit
This Friday, Detroit celebrates four new releases by some of our best bands. The highlight of the night is Deastro’s inevitable break-out release, Moondagger. This album is sure to launch Randy and his band onto the national scene. Be sure to catch him tonight, because it’s likely he’ll be touring places other than Michigan widely [...]

Crushing the Cenotaph: Maryland Deathfest 2009
A couple friends and I drove from Chicago to Baltimore in a car with leather seats and no air conditioning, blaring metal so loud we could hear it with all the windows open while doing eighty down the Pennsylvania turnpike. We took turns plugging our mp3 players into the tape adapter and playing songs from [...]
