Jack Of None – “The Brainwashers” – Single/Video Review Alrighty…so…if there’s one thing you already know about me, it’s that I love music, that’s probably no secret to anyone out there. If there are two things you know about me, chances are the second one is that I love cartoons…like…probably more than a healthy adult […]Read More
Static Choke – “Vocalized” – Single Review Leave it to Static Choke to buck tradition, restrictions and the natural order of things as per the music industry – like, everyone knows new tunes come out on Tuesdays.

Energetic, sincere and solidly […]Read More

In Closing – In Closing – EP Review I’ve been writing for years about that…that thing…that indescribable feeling you get when you hear something extraordinary…that tingle in your spine…that chill that runs through you when you stumble upon music from an artist or band that seems to resonate within the fabric of your DNA…THAT thing.

BRB & JackEL – “Late Summer” – Single Review Sign me up for an enthusiastic YES to this…BRB & JackEL have got themselves a chilled-out winner with their new collaboration/single called “Late Summer” – perfect timing too as far as the seasonal reference goes ain’t it?

EZLA – “Outcasts” – Single Review Definitely something special happening here in the music of EZLA.
