And Then Nothing Turned Itself Inside-Out by Yo La Tengo (Review)
My less-informed-than-some view is that Yo La Tengo are steadily getting more subtle, more heady, and better with age.She Loves Me, She Loves Me Not… by Kiss It Goodbye (Review)
If this band doesn’t effect you, check your pulse because you’re probably dead.Go! by Professor Small (Review)
The age of electric boogaloo and breakdancing is here once again.The Death and Life of… by The Deadlines (Review)
The Deadlines have taken punk and forced it to be as creative as possible, compared to much of the punk found on Tooth and Nail Records.Alright by Longitude (Review)
Honest, relaxed indie-pop that might be a little innocuous at times but still comes off as solid and heartfelt.Goodnight Star by Goodnight Star (Review)

“I think that my conviction has always been to write about what God has brought me through.”Cornerstone 2000: An Interview with Havalina
If there was ever a band that we here at Opus wish would make it big, it’d probably be Havalina Rail Co.Preston Girard’s Demo by Preston Girard (Review)
He describes his music as a a little bit of folk, a bit of blues, and a lot of pop and rock.Chicks on Speed Will Save Us All! by Chicks On Speed (Review)
This is a must-hear record if you want a truly different type of pop.System Upgrade by Dieselboy (Review)
By the middle of the CD, I was beginning to really look forward to hearing someone from this stable of artists take on something downtempo and textured.
