Vessel Decimal – CONVERSION Level One – Album Review Well hot damn! Vessel Decimal has seriously got something to say on this new record. Many things. As the opening “Orientation” will go on to explain…this is much more of an experience…a course in learning…objective evolution at work in the midst of metal mayhem and progressive […]Read More

I, Useless – Twister – Album Review It’s rare for me to be quite as excited about any album coming out as I am about this one. In early October of last year, I was introduced to a handful of singles from a project known as I, Useless – four songs that were so strong, […]Read More
Luanne Hunt – Backroads, Bottles & Blues – Album Review I gotta say…there’s something extremely charming about Luanne Hunt. It’s that intangible, endearing magic that makes you root for an artist or band to succeed…she’s stocked full of that. Earlier this year, we were introduced to her music through the lead-single “Lightning In A Bottle” […]Read More
John Keenan – Late Bloomer – Album Sampler/Singles Review Just passed the five-year anniversary of the first time we listened to John Keenan’s music…way back in the day, back in ’13 through the album Imagination To The Nation, which we reviewed here at SBS. While it’s easy to point out that these milestones are obviously […]Read More
Cicada 3301 – “Music Mix” – Single Review Over the course of our history making it, music has continually evolved in several directions. Regardless of anyone’s opinion on the current state of where it’s at in any given point in time – we’re a heck of a long way from where it all began. There […]Read More
Acharya – “Tilt” – Single Review Oooooooooooo! I’m really liking this! From the first initial seconds of the new single “Tilt” by Acharya, I honestly thought I was about to be in for some Post-Punk/New Wave/80’s-influenced music for a brief moment. Quickly revealing itself to be much more widespread than any one style, the blend […]Read More
Kiev – Priority – Album Review After a three-record year in 2017 including the Infinite Positivity EP and full-albums Swish & Half Man Half Amazing – these past nearly ten months have actually been the longest stretch without rapper Kiev’s music on our pages since we started listening. Of course, the good news being that, […]Read More
duØ – “Bits Of Tape” – Single Review Really solid ground that producer/artist duØ is standing on here – this new single has a beautifully soulful vibe to it that gorgeously threads Electro, Soul, R&B, Pop & Gospel into one blissful experience. From the looks of things online, “Bits Of Tape” is the debut tune […]Read More
Griff – “New Style” – Single Review Oh Canada! Don’t get caught sleepin’ on this cut! That goes for you too, rest of the world. From the looks of things, this Toronto-based artist has been changing up his game once again. If you look at his history, dude’s already racked-up tons of awards and airplay […]Read More
Grandview Station – Grandview Station – Album Review According to everything I’ve listened to, read about & researched on Grandview Station, there are other players on this record that you’ll hear other than lead-singer/guitarist Scott Arivett – we just don’t know who fits in where exactly. There’s an entire list of’em up at the main […]Read More
