The Cantina Review episodes

  • Dave Matthews Band - Come Tomorrow

    In this episode the guys check out a new album by Dave Matthews Band. Their 10th album titled "Come Tomorrow" is a great display of musicianship and expert song-writing that has become synonymous with Dave Matthews. Listen for the Monster Moments and of course our picks for Rock Hard Tracks.

    We also break out "Just The Wheel". We got tired of picking games for the episodes and now we got a wheel to do that job for us! No preparation, no scripting, this is podcast awkwardness at its best.

    Cheers!

  • Bad Wolves and Invade the Arcade

    Up for debate this week is a band thats creating serious buzz "Bad Wolves". You probably heard their hit single, a cover of The Cranberries "Zombie". But don't stop there. The debut album "Disobey" is a full assault of hard rock and metal vibes. With so many moments what will the guys point out and what will be the Rock Hard Tracks? Listen to find out!

    Invade the Arcade is a pop-punk band from the U.K. thats taking us back to our 2000's emo feelings. Even though these guys are veterans they are just coming out with an EP on iTunes and you can check them out on YouTube. The guys break it down in this weeks listener submitted section.

    What Cantina Review would be complete without a ridiculous game? None. The answer is none. This week its a new game and its called "The Cost is Correct". Can the guys guess the price of gear correctly? We shall see...

    Cheers

Gotta check out the episode for that...

    Classic but refreshingly new? Yup. It can be done. Take a note writers of Star Wars movies... because you're killing us. Judas Priest unleashes Firepower on us. An all out classic metal assault that rivals some the bands classic records from the past.

    Check out the Rock Hard Tracks and Moments from this album, as well as some listener email that gets the guys reminiscing. We also bring back a Cantina favorite, A-side B-side. What insane questions will come up this time?
