Alien Skin – 1980 Redux

Alien Skin – 1980 Redux – Album Review 1980 Redux you say?  I could have sworn that over the past 6 months or so we’ve been living in 1984… Alien Skin returns to the pages here today with a brand-new record, the first since last year’s release of European Electronic Cinema; I say that like […]Read More

Rick Tibbe – “Playground”

Rick Tibbe – “Playground” – Single Review I tell ya…if there’s one thing I love, it’s a debut single that immediately stands out like this does! Electro artist Rick Tibbe might just be onto something here…I don’t want to jump the gun too quickly – but all indications point to this dude having that extra […]Read More

Dust Of Days – “Heavy”

Dust Of Days – “Heavy” – Single Review You know…it’s kind of interesting that ‘greedy flies’ are mentioned in the lead-single from Dust Of Days called “Heavy” – even though it sounds closer in tone and execution to a Social Distortion track, there’s actually a lot in common structurally with that of Bush…who, as many […]Read More

Christone – “Where The Streets Have No Name”

Christone – “Where The Streets Have No Name” – Single Review This is no easy mountain to climb…Christone has certainly put himself out there on “Where The Streets Have No Name” by tackling what is arguably one of the biggest and most recognizable songs of the past three decades as he takes on an official […]Read More

Gregg Stewart – “Starman”

Gregg Stewart – “Starman” – Single Review Dig the concept, dig the execution…part of me wishes that Gregg Stewart didn’t have to make a full record’s worth of covers from the dearest departed musicians we knew, loved and lost in 2016…but I suppose I should really just be thankful that it all didn’t get so […]Read More

Guest Actors – “By Demand”

Guest Actors – “By Demand” – Single Review Sometimes I really love the pull to writing about music.  Take today for example…I’ve got the progressive rock crew from Victoria, BC, known as Spaceport Union who have made their way across Canada here to Ottawa for a show tonight and hang out session tomorrow – I […]Read More
