New Music Corner #12 - By Scott

Today I have what some may consider SuperGroups - 2 of them actually. And a new release from a band I'm really digging. Enjoy!
Black Country Communion, Self Titled, September 2010
1. Black Country
2. One Last Soul
3. Beggarman
4. The Revolution In Me
5. Sista Jane
Anyone shocked that I posted this one? I read on their offical web page that Glenn Hughes has been associated with over 80+ releases and sales over 100 million. Thats impressive, and I never knew that. But theres more to this Super Group than Glenn, other members include, Jason Bonham, Derek Sherinian (of Dream Theater fame), and Joe Bonamassa. Seemingly a "can't miss" band. And after only a few listens, I'm on the bandwagon, but not because its what you would expect to hear, but because its just good rock and roll. I would hope this band tries for a follow up and uses the time to gel together better, then we can expect the "SuperGroup" to make the appearnace we all expected this time.
YOSO, Elements, July 2010
6. Walk Away
7. To Seek The Truth
8. Path To Your Heart
9. Only One
10. Return To Yesterday
YOSO is a dorky band name if you ask me, but its a play on the band namnes TOTO and YES. They are Supergroup #2 in this list and are a melodic/progressive rock band combining former members of Yes (Billy Sherwood—bass/vocals and Tony Kaye—keyboards) and Toto (Bobby Kimball—vocals). It is very much a Toto influenced sound with bits of Yes detectable in places. If you enjoyed Toto's last release titled "Falling In Between" you will like this, otherwise this will be a hit and miss listen for you. There are several live tracks included as a bonus disc from the Toto and Yes catalogs that are interesting to listen to as well.
Anberlin, Dark Is The Way. Light Is The Place, September 2010
11. We Owe This To Ourselve
12. Impossible
13. Take Me (As You Found Me)
14. Art of War
15. Depraved
Anberlin is a current band known for producing some radio friendly hits. This one is bit more layered and heavier but still contains some radio friendly tracks. Ive really taken to this band.
