MASSIVE congratulations to The Quality Of Mercury for becoming our official BEST NEW SOUND of 2016!

Billy Roberts And The Rough Riders – “Blood And Bones”

Billy Roberts And The Rough Riders – “Blood And Bones” – Single Review Wild Bill returns on his pursuit towards the next record for Billy Roberts And The Rough Riders with a new single called “Blood And Bones” from the upcoming album Greenbah.  I’ve notoriously enjoyed quite a bit of their straight-to-the-bone rock-music in the […]Read More

Dave’s Neck – “Knock Knock Idiot”

Dave’s Neck – “Knock Knock Idiot” – Single Review You know…not only has global warming significantly increased in the past decade, but so has the amount of genres in music!  How come no one talks about the rise of those to the dangerous levels we experience today?  I swear they’re threatening to take over the […]Read More

RJ Griffith – Prey

RJ Griffith – Prey – EP Review + Bonus Singles Faith-based music really needs a champion like this.

Salmon Friends – Salmon Friends

Salmon Friends – Salmon Friends – EP Review T’was the night before Christmas, and all through the house, not a creature was stirring, except for a Salmon… Adaptation right?  You can call it whatever you like…but make no mistake, after writing as many of these reviews as I have personally, I’m always on an endless […]Read More

Darknaut – Exile

Darknaut – Exile – EP Review Whether you’d call it synthwave, darkwave, ambitious-electro or something else entirely…whether you’re one of those people that considers everything electronic to be electronica…whatever it is you want to call it – one thing I think has become more & more clear with one of music’s youngest genres over time […]Read More

0152 – Modern Day Poets

I can’t speak highly enough of the Modern Day Poets crew. In 2015, I hijacked Ryan @ SBS and took him down to the Media Club in Vancouver, BC to check out one of my favorite rock-bands, Blackout Lights.  Unbeknownst to us at the time, not only were we taking in a whole bunch of […]Read More
