Yet even more choice music writing from NONzine

The quality keeps pouring in from the music reviewer over at NONzine. Here's yet another great piece, this time on the debut album from the punk band Thomas Function (pictured) and the latest from the Karl Denson Trio. By the way, if you haven't heard of the young guns Thomas Function up until this point, you are now officially without excuse. They are just about the perfect modern blend of '70s punk and new wave, and they are not to be missed.

Our Philosophy:

The music press, both mainstream and independent, focus the bulk of their attention on "new music" -- the latest albums and hot new artists. But what if "new music" meant something else? What if it referred to music that, regardless of when it was originally released -- this week or 50 years ago -- was just now being discovered by an individual, or perhaps by a generation? Any music could be "new." This Web publication charts our travels along the road of discovery as we become aware and gain a greater appreciation of some of the best music ever recorded from genres including rock 'n' roll, jazz, folk, soul, funk and, perhaps most importantly of all, the blues.
