Armada Named Sound – “NY”

Armada Named Sound – “NY” – Single Review Approved!  I love it when this band pops up on my playlist! Armada Named Sound has always managed to retain a unique and individual style of their own…you could try to make comparisons, but largely they’ll only apply as pieces and reference-points to the signature-style they’ve made […]Read More

0111 – Lung Flower (Live @ Funky Winkerbeans 2014)

A band we’ve seen many times over in the Vancouver music-scene since good friend of SBS, Tyler Mayfield, joined the band as their lead-singer/screamer.  Here’s some early shots of the band, performing at Funky Winkerbeans right in the heart of one of the most hardcore areas you can find in BC’s lower mainland.  With their […]Read More

Dan McLean Jr. – “Let’s Stop Hurting Each Other”

Dan McLean Jr. – “Let’s Stop Hurting Each Other” – Single Review I think what I might like most about Dan McLean Jr.’s music is the bold degree of honesty that comes along with it.  I know I have the advantage of being able to have talked with Dan behind the scenes of the music […]Read More

0110 – Magik Spells Album II

More shots from Vancouver’s punk-funk alt-rock band Magik Spells – one of our first meetings outside of our studio, first live-performances witnessed in the local-scene after years away and still continually one of the band’s we’re most frequently asked about.  I wish I had more info for ya other than just more pictures from what […]Read More

Kenny Fame – Who Am I

Kenny Fame – Who Am I – Album Review I mean…if the album title is suggesting that he’s currently soliciting theories, I’m certainly will to offer ours!  Who Am I?, asks the star performer in question…and for us here at the page, that’s a pretty easy answer really; as this is our SIXTH review on […]Read More

Piff Loonez – No Fear

Piff Loonez – No Fear – EP Review I can definitely get into this.  I woke up today looking for information…maybe a sign of some sort…I don’t really know to tell you the truth; maybe truth is what I was looking to really know.  I can’t say that I was expecting to finding it here […]Read More

Joseph Tonelli – Dust And Snow

Joseph Tonelli – Dust And Snow – Album Review If you’ve caught recent episodes of SBS Live This Week or the SBS Podcast, you’re already familiar with the name Joseph Tonelli, his song “Wolf In Your Blood,” and my own boundless enthusiasm regarding his music.  To say that I was looking forward to Dust And […]Read More

0109 – Lindstrom And The Limit

This was a massively rad experience.  Lindstrom And The Limit…some of you might remember us assisting with featuring their video for their song “Queen Anne” – but what you might not know is that we were so impressed with what we saw, that I promptly invited the band to come by the studio to do […]Read More

0108 – Closer (Live @ The Backstage Lounge 2014) Album

Closer or Closer…however you choose to pronounce it…doesn’t matter to me or them I’m sure as long as you’re checking out their music!  If you’re around the Vancouver music-scene then you’re already familiar with these noise-rock behemoths…they’ve shown up on just about every stage throughout the city and neighbouring cities throughout the past three-four years, […]Read More

DTOX – Private Playlist

DTOX – Private Playlist – Singles Review Well…SOMEONE likes their beats large as all-fuck eh? I dig this guy.  DTOX is a rap artist with conviction in his words – whether he’s seeking some laughs or laying it all out there for you straight – he continually demonstrates a mastery of words and paints clearer-than-clear […]Read More
