Melvin Fromm Jr. – Singles

Melvin Fromm Jr. – Singles Review I have to admit…I’m intrigued! When the loose-feel and bizarre chord progressions started to come together on the first song I heard from Melvin Fromm Jr. called “Angel Wings Flapping Life,” I was pretty convinced that I wasn’t going to end up finding a way to accept what I […]Read More

Joe King Carrasco Y Los Side FX – Chiliando

Joe King Carrasco Y Los Side FX – Chiliando – Album Sampler/Singles Review Well…I might not know much, but I definitely can recognize the sound of a good time when I hear one!  Self-described as ‘Tex-Mex infused Rock’n’Roll’ – I can’t recall having that on our pages before, so this should be interesting to say […]Read More

Black Astronaut – “Life’s A Dream” Featuring Sticky Bud

Black Astronaut – “Life’s A Dream” Featuring Sticky Bud – Single Review Black Astronaut continues an impressive run of singles with the release of “Life’s A Dream,” this time around featuring the vocals of Sticky Bud alongside Charles Luck and his limitless creativity.  Dude really understands atmosphere and how to write, create and assemble structures […]Read More

0155 – The Pit (Live @ The Media Club 2013)

These hairy heroes!  One of the most pivotal shows I’ve had the privilege to see – The Pit left it all onstage at The Media Club in early 2013.  Our first time seeing the band live after having them in the studio for an episode of SBS Live This Week – it was a mind-blowing […]Read More

Black Astronaut – “The Corn Cob” Featuring InZane

Black Astronaut – “The Corn Cob” Featuring InZane – Single Review Because you’ve gotta keep at least one eye on the porkchop…they’re shifty. Alright…so…the tale of “The Corn Cob” might at first maybe make you think that Charles Luck of Black Astronaut has done lost his mind in creating this narrative…until it reveals knowledge-bomb after […]Read More

Check out some additional shots of Vancouver-based folk-band Stone Poets from their time at sleepingbagstudios in 2013!  Stone Poets were promoting their record Trippin’ On Daises and have since gone on to put out a new album called Angels And Devils.  The players in the band are in numerous bands and different projects but they […]Read More

Subtle Kind Of Murder – Soundcloud Singles

Subtle Kind Of Murder – Soundcloud Singles – Singles Review Let it never be said that where there is work & effort put in that there is no reward!  In the case of Subtle Kind Of Murder, it works in both our favor – as I was checking out the latest singles they’ve posted to […]Read More

Black Astronaut – “Earthquakes” Featuring Addie & Tino Red

Black Astronaut – “Earthquakes” Featuring Addie & Tino Red – Single Review Definitely contrast between the latest two tracks we’ve been checking out from Black Astronaut!  Whereas the song I reviewed yesterday called “One Love,” which also features Tino Red, was all about a chilled-out atmosphere & vibe – this next single “Earthquakes” brings in […]Read More

Black Astronaut – “One Love” Featuring Tino Red

Black Astronaut – “One Love” Featuring Tino Red – Single Review Man!  Sometimes I have to push back from the keyboard, give my head a bit of a shake and take a moment to be grateful for the privilege it can truly be to hear some of the music made out there in the independent […]Read More

Vaultry – Eulogy

Vaultry – Eulogy – Album Review I’ll start by saying this – there really aren’t that many bands out there with the courage to make a record like this.  Regardless of any opinions I have on the music of Vaultry’s sophomore release/first full-length record Eulogy – you have to admire the courage and strength within […]Read More
