Arizona rockers, Scary Kids Scaring Kids, are determined to avoid frights with their tame second full-length, self-titled release.While past records have been contrived and included a gimmicky synthesizer, the band's latest reinvigorates a sound that has garnered them a loyal following of fans in self-sewn jeans and Chuck Taylors.Standing out immediately is the unusually moderate use of keyboard played by Pouyan Afkary, which makes a lot of the songs on the new CD sound more mature.Unfortunately, they have not grown out of sappy ballads, which would be more fitting on a Bon Jovi tribute than a post-hardcore record."Holding On" finally kicks the record off at track three, with some eerily familiar keyboards when vocalist Tyson Stevens yelps, "There goes the sun!"With the downplaying of said keys, the guitars are showcased and allowed to shine a lot more than in SKSK's past.

Athletes in America are put on a pedestal. Sports are such a large part of the popular culture in this country that we hold these millionaires, not much older than anyone reading this, to a standard so high it takes away their ability to be a normal human being who makes mistakes.Michael Vick happens to be one of these human beings who made a mistake and is now paying for it.

Lifeline, a collection of eleven clean-cut tracks from Ben Harper & The Innocent Criminals, won't drench fans in guiltless crime quite like its predecessor-Both Sides of the Gun-the band's marathon double-disc release in 2006.And yet, despite the safe road it rides, there's something about this classy little album-a certain effortless grandiosity-that proves itself memorable.For starters, it was recorded and mixed entirely in Paris over the course of a single week.
