Billy Roberts And The Rough Riders – “Only One”

Billy Roberts And The Rough Riders – “Only One” – Single Review I admire the fact that the last several times we’ve heard from Billy Roberts And The Rough Riders over the course of a bunch of singles and albums we’ve reviewed in the past that their sound continues to shift within the borders of […]Read More

0172 – Throttlecaster Album II

In late 2012, there was a tiny new studio that had opened-up in Abbotsford, British Columbia.  The people in-charge at the time, including yours truly, had NO idea what to expect or really any idea of what they were doing.  In an effort to introduce people to the studio, I had decided free interviews in-house […]Read More

JLuv – “Yo Me Porte Bien”

JLuv – “Yo Me Porte Bien” – Single Review Always excellent to find artists from along our journey continuing on their own adventures, surviving & thriving in the independent music-scene.  JLuv is prepping his upcoming album Versatile, a mix of songs in his Electro/R&B style sung in both English and Spanish in a 50/50 split.  […]Read More

Ant Vibe – Soundcloud Singles

Ant Vibe – Soundcloud Singles – Singles Review Only twenty-three years old…seeing the parental advisory warning on each cover for these singles always makes me brace for something written beyond an emcees experience and/or time on earth; it can be a pretty tough sell to communicate authenticity without living the story, know what I mean?  […]Read More

Jay Jai – My Soundcloud Project

Jay Jai – My Soundcloud Project – Album Review Sometimes behind the scenes you can get a sense of where an artist is at with their work.  I say sometimes…because it’s probably rarer than you’d think; some people will submit music and add the standard links & promo-related materials – usually management…other artists want to […]Read More

Maini – “Parting Of Our Way”

Maini – “Parting Of Our Way” – Single Review Alrighty then!  Lots of information out there regarding this new single from Maini called “Parting Of Our Way” – in particular the amount of hands involved in bringing this song to life was what I’d personally noticed right off the bat.  I’d assume it all gets […]Read More

The Bingo Brothers – Top Ten

The Bingo Brothers – Top Ten – Album Review + Bonus Singles Alright…I found this album to be an incredibly fascinating one to review; from a writer’s point of view – The Bingo Brothers have done so much with their own music and made it so compellingly versatile that it’s almost tough to pare-down the […]Read More

WOUNDEDSPiRiT – “11Months3Weeks6Days”

Great combination of rhythm, melody and energy on the new single from WOUNDEDSPiRiT called “11Months3Weeks6Days.”  Hailing from West Bromwich, UK, these guys have built a smooth pop/rock cut that delivers a completely uplifting sound through solid-hook after solid-hook in a highly entertaining, memorable performance that genuinely connects.  Check out the video they’ve put together for […]Read More
