The Abstract – Sleeping/Dreaming

The Abstract – Sleeping/Dreaming – EP Review Excellent name for this band…very, very apt. Upon starting-up the new EP – Sleeping/Dreaming – from Akron, Ohio’s The Abstract…I honestly wasn’t sure WHAT exactly I was listening to when the opening tune, “The Carnation,” began. It was like…one part Living Color, one part like…Ronnie James Dio…and a […]Read More

Runaway Scotty – Rock My Heart

Runaway Scotty – Rock My Heart – Pre-release Album Review Doesn’t matter what the genre is really…as soon as I find out I’m listening to something potentially before the rest of the ears out there in the world, I slip right into that kid-in-the-candy-store mode or like I’m opening up a present on Christmas. Absolutely […]Read More

R.E.M. – Automatic For The People

R.E.M. – Automatic For The People – Album Review Obviously there were millions of different options for what would become our 500th review in print…could have gone any direction with it really. Could have done one of the brilliant independent artists or bands we’ve got coming up; I thought about maybe even ‘righting a wrong’ […]Read More

Firekind – What I Have Found Is Already Lost

Firekind – What I Have Found Is Already Lost – Album Review I’ll preface this entire review by telling you first that this is a must-hear album containing some of the most powerful moments I’ve heard this year so far – so be READY for Firekind.

Gabe Close – Leave That Light On

Gabe Close – Leave That Light On – EP Review With some of the most warm & inviting sounds you’ll hear this year, Gabe Close opens his new EP with comforting tones of home, with lyrics and sentiment that’s relatable and easy to take in on “Weary Mind.” With a slight twinge of Tom Petty-ish […]Read More

Impending Lies – Believe

Impending Lies – Believe – EP Review Can’t help but almost be slightly amused by the music-industry and its fickle nature when listening to this new EP from Impending Lies; back in my Jurassic-day, a band like this would have been snapped-up instantly by major labels all bearing the vicious fruit of the post-grunge era.
