This is John G coming back at you with three new reviews! I am just so excited to what all you beautiful people think of today's reviews! Man, I love you guys:

First, staff writer Ricky reviews the new Andrew Jackson Jihad live album called Live at the Crescent Ballroom:

Live at the Crescent Ballroom, not only is a recording of the FULL BAND's (featuring Jeff Rosenstock of Bomb the Music Industry!) last show of their 2012 tour, but it has all of that famous Andrew Jackson Jihad banter and probably the best set list you can ask for from this band, which includes several new songs.

Then, editor Joe Pelone investigates French heavy metal on the new Alcest record Shelter:

Alcest was supposed to make a more mainstream record this time. That's what "Opale" promised. That's what they were supposed to forsake metal for. Instead, Shelter might actually be less commercial thanks to its lengthy running time and slowed down tempos. It's less dynamic, less technical, less energetic, less everything.

Lastly, Renaldo checks out the new Seahaven record Silhouette:

The Silhouette 7" continues where they last left off. Soulful music unfolding at a much slower tempo.
