12 Stones Announce (Correct) Summer Dates

Jay — Wed, 23 Jun 2010 17:18:42 +0000

12 Stones have announced summer tour dates that are completely different than the ones that Wind-Up had sent us, which seems to indicate that they intentionally misled us. A lot of people have faith in TuneLab to provide accurate information, and we take pride in that by clearly indicating if we are posting something “rumored” or not exactly official. In the case of the earlier dates, we were passed the information from the label as official dates, and thus posted them as such. We apologize to those who read the earlier news post, and can assure you that the particular person at Wind-Up who sent us the dates will not be trusted again, and I will personally make sure that the label knows how we feel about this particular f-up.

Correct dates are as follows:

June 26th in Milwaukee, WI @ Summerfest
July 3rd in Great Lake, IL @ Great Lakes Naval Station/Ross Field
July 8th in Madison, WI @ The Annex
July 10th in Flint, MI @ Machine Shop
July 11th in Grand Rapids, MI @ The Intersection
July 13th in Johnson City, TN @ Capones (w/ Red)
July 16th in Jacksonville, NC @ Hooligans (w/ Red)
July 17th in Cookeville, TN @ Putnam County Fairgrounds
July 18th in Little Rock, AR @ The Village (w/ Red)
July 21st in Lubbock, TX @ The Pavilion (w/ Buckcherry, Flyleaf, Hellyeah, Filter, Drowning Pool)
July 22nd in Dallas, TX @ Trees
July 23rd in San Antonio, TX @ Scout Bar
July 24th in Houston, TX @ Scout Bar
July 25th in Corpus Christi, TX @ Concrete Street Pavilion (w/ Buckcherry, Flyleaf, Hellyeah, Filter, Drowning Pool)
August 12th in Uncasville, CT @ Mohegan Sun Casino
August 26th in Tulsa, OK @ Hard Rock Hotel
September 3rd in Charenton, LA @ Rox Night Club

Watch Nonpoint Perform a Modified Cover of “Bodies”

Jay — Sat, 12 Jun 2010 19:20:36 +0000

At the final stop of Nonpoint’s tour with Drowning Pool in Ft. Wayne, IN, Drowning Pool attempted to prank Nonpoint by bringing out a card table and playing poker on stage while Nonpoint was performing. Nonpoint however was ready with a re-written rendition of “Bodies” and used the opportunity to play that song with new lyrics. Check out the video below:

Review: Drowning Pool – ‘Drowning Pool’

Jay — Fri, 28 May 2010 07:20:17 +0000

Posted: May 28th, 2010
Contributed By: Andrew

Release Date: April 27th, 2010 via Eleven Seven

Drowning Pool is:
Ryan McCombs (Lead Vocals)
C.J. Pierce (Guitar/Vocals)
Stevie Benton (Bass/Vocals)
Mike Luce (Drums/Vocals)

No band has had worse luck with lead singers than Drowning Pool. Made men thanks to their early singles like “Bodies” and “Tear Away,” Drowning Pool has since lost two vocalists and have acquired frontman Ryan McCombs, formerly of Soil, to take over singing duties. Now, unlike the two before him, McCombs has been given the chance to do a second Drowning Pool album, the follow up to 2007′s ‘Full Circle’, an album which sorely needed a standout track.

What did I just say about standouts? How about “Let The Sin Begin,” the kick-off track for this self-titled release. It’s instantly hooky, though not entirely innovative. It doesn’t have an incredibly interesting riff, but for the first time in his run with Drowning Pool, Ryan McCombs is ready to put the band on his back. His vocals really stand out in the opening verse, and pull you into the chorus which is too addictive for words. Often times during ‘Full Circle’, one could have been disappointed with the lack of power behind McCombs’ voice. No more worry there, he’s all over this record with great range. This is immediately evident in big tracks like “Turn So Cold,” and “Over My Head,” which both showcase his powerful voice during their sky-high choruses.

As a whole, ‘Drowning Pool’ is a more memorable and interesting album than it’s predecessor. While much of the last record blended in on itself, this time around Drowning Pool has developed a much more raw and emotional sound to match their frontman. The result is incredible tracks like “More Than Worthless,” one of the most intense songs in the entire band’s catalog. Each song sounds suited to their vocalist, which makes the album as a whole much more enjoyable. The disc is chock full of enjoyable anthems, among them the first single, “Feel Like I Do.” They even have snagged a major standout ballad in the form of “More Than Worthless.”

On the other hand, while instantly accessible and a lot of fun, Drowning Pool lacks the depth and replay value necesssary in truly great albums. The lyrics are nothing special, and there’s little reason to call on “Feel Like I Do” or “Regret” for multiple plays after the first few spins. Tracks like “Over My Head” have staying power, but most the album really lacks in reasons to replay. On top of that, there’s a pretty major drop off after mid-album standout “More Than Worthless,” so much so that I’d hardly recommend any of the tracks that follow for any more than a listen or two. Still, each of those songs is interesting enough to complete the album, but it does feel like more effort could have been put into those.

As a whole, this disc is one of Drowning Pool’s most impressive, and is possibly the best album in the band’s catalog. It’s great to see what this group can accomplish when they have time to gel with a vocalist for once. Though many of the riffs aren’t all that memorable, there’s enough complete songs on this album to make it a fun listen, and one of the better pure rock albums in recent memory. There’s plenty of room for improvement in the Drowning Pool camp, but as long as they can hold onto McCombs, I forsee good things in their future.

TuneLab Rating: 7.5 out of 10
