Brannon – The Road Less Traveled

Brannon – The Road Less Traveled – Album Review When you look at Brannon’s social media and find Daughtry, Bruce Springsteen, Def Leppard & Bon Jovi in the ‘artists we also like’ section, that’ll tell you something instantly.  Or it should anyhow…it definitely tells me something.  You can infer big, bold, imagery-laden & powerful songwriting […]Read More

Goldfish – “Elementary Boy”

Goldfish – “Elementary Boy” – Single Review If absolutely nothing else…at the VERY least…this is what you can most certainly call authentic. Reading about the story of Montreal-based band Goldfish was insanely cool.  I put on their brand-new video/single “Elementary Boy” and was immediately zapped back in time to all the powerful & empowering riot […]Read More

Zane – “I Feel Love”

Zane – “I Feel Love” – Single Review Alrighty then!  No issues here with Zane’s latest single/cover version of Donna Summer’s infamous hit “I Feel Love” – this is an approved track for your summer. It’s actually pretty faithful to the original as far as the structure & melody are concerned.  Retaining the essence of […]Read More

Jaewar – True! Raw Honey

Jaewar – True! Raw Honey – Album Preview Consider me interested.  I was checking out new cuts from Jaewar from a private list of tracks that are potentially making up the core of his upcoming record True! Raw Honey and finding it pretty damn easy to jump into these rap rhythms…I wouldn’t say it’s necessarily […]Read More

The Residuals – Born Blind

The Residuals – Born Blind – Album Review With grinding guitars and a lo-fi sound that meets somewhere in the middle of whatever-era of Henry Rollins music you want to select and the grindcore-metal genre, one-man machine Joshua Lykkeberg gives you zero-time to catch your breath after pushing play and starting-up “Waiting For A Cure” […]Read More

Durells World – Call Me Later, Way Too Busy

Durells World – Call Me Later, Way Too Busy – Pre-release EP Review *BEEP* – just an announcement before we get right into it here today…this is pre-release y’all…the Call Me Later, Way Too Busy EP from Durells World can still most certainly change anything from the songs to the album art to the writing […]Read More

Magazine Gap – “Ran For Cover”

Magazine Gap – “Ran For Cover” – Single Review When we first reviewed Magazine Gap and their Calling Card EP at the end of last year, we heard things we liked…and we heard the promise of something even more.  In early January of this year, the London-based Pop/Soul trio returned to our pages with a […]Read More

Exid – Single Review Correspondence comes in all forms behind the scenes at sleepingbagstudios.  Whether it’s by text message or carrier pigeon, we get messages & promo write-ups all the time regardless of if we ask for them or not.  Sometimes, they’ll even answer a long-burning question that you […]Read More

SBS Live This Week 064

The explosion of noise-rock band Closer raining down monstrously epic jams from the stage began with three guitarists (Ryan, Trev, Jake) and one of the most beastly drummers (Tyler) to ever sit on the throne.  Born out of a combination of local rock bands The Pit (Trev/Tyler) and Doc Holiday (Ryan/Jake) – nobody even knew […]Read More
