Bonesteel – Epitome Of Infamy

Bonesteel – Epitome Of Infamy – EP Review Seriously explosive tunes from Bonesteel, a three-piece from Los Angeles, CA that sounds like they’re ready to torch the entire sunset-strip with their big & beefy, meaty-metal sound.  Mind you, there’s a lot more going on…but I’d definitely say metal is certainly straight at the forefront of […]Read More

Altamina – Tomorrow Morning Will Be Tonight

Altamina – Tomorrow Morning Will Be Tonight – Album Review Canadian-based band Altamina has a sound & style that I can definitely identify with.  Very similar to the best songs from The National…the slow ones where each song has a magical part you just wish would go on for forever…Altamina seems to be built of […]Read More

HelloHeathen – Music To Die To

HelloHeathen – Music To Die To – EP Review Considering the last time we heard from HelloHeathen, he dropped off some demo-tunes that had just been recorded over his phone and I STILL welcomed them with open arms & ears…well…I’m sure you can imagine just how happy I am to see this guy show up […]Read More

In Lights – In Lights

In Lights – In Lights – EP Review Feels like it’s been far too long since we’ve had some post-rock music on the pages here at sleepingbagstudios…I find it to be such an emotionally comforting kind of music, made by far too few of us out there.  There is such a high-place of respect for […]Read More

Graham Alexander – “Romeo Blue”

Fun new track from singer/songwriter Graham Alexander – you’ll dig the vibe of “Romeo Blue.”  Great light-funk/pop/soul inspired rhythm & hooks, and the video makes it all look like Graham & the players in the band had just as much fun making that as they did the song itself.  Definitely the kind of sound with […]Read More

The L.A.W. – “Love Crazy” Feat. Butter Wesley

The L.A.W. – “Love Crazy” Feat. Butter Wesley – Single Review Alright…this completely works. The L.A.W. probably has more style in his pinky-finger right now than most emcees will grow to possess throughout their entire lifetime.  His new single, “Love Crazy” was a track I grew to dig quickly…The L.A.W. brings it to the mic […]Read More
