The Reviewer Contents -- Reviews of obscure music you've never heard of

I have over the last year or so compiled a long list of albums I've come to love. I decided to review them, get them out and educate people that there's more music -- better music -- outside the radio influenced pop-drivel that has bogged down America with worthless celebrity and fleeting art.

Below is the review of the Reviewer, a compilation of sorts of everything I've written regarding bands and their amazing works of art. 

The Oysterband is the premier folk-rock band in England, well renowned for timeless songs, political fervor, and endless delight and energy. The band got its start in the 70s and never really took off til "Wide Blue Yonder" in 1998-1989. Since then the Oysters have been a staple in the Big Session Festival, as well as the fathers of countless covers by other bands. Their music is awe inspriing and continually evolves and improves with each phase of the band's life, culminating in their most astounding Meet You There album.

The Oysterband has a long history of songs, compiled into their top hits on three different hubs. The first hub is followed by the second, and the final article lists the top songs ever recorded by the band.

The Oysters truly launched their career with the release of the infamous Deserters, a semi-political album with strong left wing tendencies.

The Oysters revamped their earlier work with the release of Trawler in 1997. 

The Oysterband are also featured on my top 10 list of Irish Folk/Rock bands. While the band is not at all irish, they have done irish folk music and their original songs are strongly influenced by Celtic music in general. They are at the peak of the list and the hub does it justice with ample explanation as to why. 

While I have only two reviews of this band to-date, they are possibly the most influential in my musicianship than any other band I love. GBS is arguably the most unique band ever to hit the big time out of atlantic Canada, continually reinventing themselves to create ecletic music and electrifying shows. The best example of this reinvention is their album Fortune's Favour, released in 2008.

They released an all folk album in 2004 called The Hard and the Easy. 

Great Big Sea has inspired my personal music choices and even my band, which has two hubs on here as well. The first, an independent live album pieced together by the original Bote lineup, is called When Bids the Tide. The other written article to be found is the current album to be released, Work and Worry. This is my latest hub and will give you a good look into the style of celtic music.

There are various other reviews as well. One of my personal favourites is Postcards by the Paperboys. Another good review is Top 10 Hard Rock Albums of the last decade. While the bands on this list are technically not "obscure", there are many who will find this brief look into pop culture helpful or enlightening.

There are other articles on here as well, including the link at the beginning of this sentence (titled "Why free music rocks"). Be sure to check each of these out and read them up, then go and actually listen to the band and decide for yourself if what I've recommended is a positive suggestion or not.
