Subject: A Most Excellent Review from Side-Line & a Seattle Show in September!
I have some pleasing band news to share, so please bear with me
through a brief non-comic-related message.

First, my band was featured in an awesome review by Side-Line
Magazine.  They gave us 7 of 8 stars:

SD6 - Between Noise and Transmission (23db Records)

Posted on 16 May, 2007 - Formed from the ashes of the band Omnibox,
SD6's sound is roughly comparable to that of Assemblage 23 with a
honeyed touch of eighties-era new romanticism. While the former
likeness is rather obvious considering since Tom Shear (A23's
mastermind) produced this disc, it is the latter aspect that lends Sd6
a remarkably sensual sheen. For example, the sultry trip-hop drum loop
of "We Are As One" is seductive. Pairing Brandon Jerwa's velvet croon
with a hint of crystalline synth and the shadow of Jessica
Blackshear's foggy lilt, it is a recipe that results in a delectable
down-tempo dirge. Proving her own vocal prowess, Blackshear dominates
"Untruth". Painting a tale of destroyed trust in torrid blues, her
presence is accented with peals of snare and a meaty baritone bass
line, heightening its drama while instilling rhythmic flare. If
something a bit punchier better suits one's palate, "Believe" crackles
with a buzzing synth, brisk snare, and bass pad alliance. Conjoined in
a keen marching cadence, their headstrong march adds emphasis to both
Jerwa's lofty vocals as well as its fragile arpeggios. Armed with a
terse bass line, "Free" concludes this affair with gusto. Anthemic and
defiant, snares clack to a stopwatch-like tick over this deep gruff
rhythm. Jerwa's vocals ascend from stoic baritone verses to a
determined alto chorus, the newfound confidence in his rising timbre
echoed through serene halcyon waves and soprano droplets of fuzzy
synth. With the additional assistance of Shear's deft production,
Between Noise and Transmission proves to be a pleasant vacation
through SD6's own embittered and often lush futurepop world.
