Charlie Christmas – “Happy Day” – Single Review Finally…an exception to the rule on how I feel about Christmas tunes. Though I ain’t gonna lie to ya, I saw the name of Charlie Christmas and immediately panicked for a moment, thinking I was about to somehow find myself at the beginning of the holiday season […]Read More

Monolith – Vermin Among Us – EP Review One-man music-machine Mario Welke sounds determined to turn your speakers & bones into dust with the face-melting mayhem & madness you’ll find throughout the new EP for his solo-project Monolith – this dude sounds like he’s twenty-feet tall and ready to fight Godzilla. I mean, I haven’t […]Read More
Woodfish – “Damn Thang” – Single Review 100% THIS. Woodfish absolutely have it goin’ on. Anyone with ears and a spare ten-seconds to fire-up their new single “Damn Thang” could tell ya that though…in fact, it’ll probably take them even less time to reach that conclusion. Woodfish get this cut cranked into gear & rollin’ […]Read More
Keys And Vices – Chronic Nostalgia – Album Review Been checking this record out happily all week long, Keys And Vices have a fantastic energy goin’ on. In fact, it was only last week that we featured the three-piece all up in our lineup on the SBS Podcast, unleashing their lead-single “Out Of My Head” […]Read More
Solja – XXX – EP Review Working with some extremely large low-end here homies, no doubt about that. As to whether or not the production needs a slight tune-up or whether it’s Spotify’s compression clippin’ past the threshold…hard to say for sure…but right now you can definitely hear that red-line pulsing away on the opening […]Read More
Old Salt – “Quicksand” – Single Review One good turn leads to another, as they say right? Wasn’t so long ago at all that I was reviewing Dillon Douglas’ band Mississippi Moonlight and their stunning new single “Dresser Drawer” – and here we are, what seems like only mere days later, with a cut from […]Read More
Dr Optimiser – Borders – Album Review Any time I find Lemon Jelly listed in the tags for an album, I can promise ya, I’m more than interested. I pretty much wish all music was Lemon Jelly, all of the time. In their absence however…I’m more than happy to welcome back Dr Optimiser to our […]Read More
Mississippi Moonlight – “Dresser Drawer” – Single Review I mean…it’s one thing to sound like a band from the deep south – and it’d be another thing entirely to name your band partly after it, don’t you think? If that ain’t evidence of Mississippi Moonlight taking full ownership of their style & sound, I just […]Read More
Howard Herrick – Howard Herrick – Album Review Like I was hinting at the other day when we first posted up the lead single/video “Hold My Hand” from Howard Herrick’s new self-titled record, it’s very clear that this guy is livin’ his best life right now. I know you can’t see it from here, but […]Read More
Stephon Foster – “Stay In My Dreams” Featuring Steady Creating – Single Review I’ll say this much, she’s got herself a unique one here. A polarizing single I’d be willing to bet though…some people will willingly follow Stephon Foster down the rabbit-hole with her latest cut “Stay In My Dreams” while she might be leaving […]Read More
