On today’s show we honor those that came just shy of making our official top-ten for this year’s SBS reader-voted quest for Best New Sound 2016…all bands/artists in this episode made even making a list at all an impossible task due to the incredible year it’s been for independent music.

Some of the year’s most powerful, socially-aware and boldly-expressive tunes came directly from A Truth Called Nothing. We got the opportunity to review this band a couple times throughout 2016, at first for their incredible album Sluggerhand and then for their EP – the politically well-timed set of songs on The Orange Orangutan’s Revenge.

Grand Tradition – Your Wish – EP Review Confession…I don’t often make a point of looking at how a band/artist tend to define their sound genre-wise until I’ve usually posted-up my thoughts as they’ve come to me naturally…even in those moments it’s more of a confirmation thing…finding out details after the event doesn’t ever change […]Read More
Through an entire host of otherworldly themes and extraordinary depth in sound, The Quality Of Mercury pulled off a stunning achievement in the thickness of atmosphere & sonics with the release of the album Transmission in the first-half of this year. What you might/might-not know – is that The Quality Of Mercury is actually the […]Read More
