The SBS Top 10 Of 2023: #09 – Kiev

The SBS Top 10 Of 2023:  #09 – Kiev – Manifest Let this be a lesson to you all – if I haven’t heard it yet, then it’s still new music to me!  We get all kinds of submissions throughout the year, and as long as they’re EPs and albums, they qualify for our top […]Read More

Acid City Nuns – The Engine

Acid City Nuns – The Engine – Album Review If there’s one thing I learned in reviewing a handful of singles from Acid City Nuns back in the middle of 2021, it’s that you’d never be able to accurately predict what the heck this crazy crew would be up to next.  So heck yeah, believe […]Read More

The SBS Top 10 Of 2023: #10 – Moyzesh

The SBS Top 10 Of 2023:  #10 – Moyzesh – Face The Sun While you will most certainly find a bunch of incredible artists and bands on this end of the year list of ours as you always do – very few define what we’re looking for in our Best New Sound as well as […]Read More

Xmas Letter To You All

Each and every year, right about this time as I’m makin’ a list and checkin’ it twice, I’m reminded of how extraordinarily lucky I’ve been to spend my life entwined with the music YOU make.  I’m eternally grateful for every moment, and I could never, ever, thank you all enough for the honor and privilege […]Read More

Flowers For Juno – “Physical Culture”

Flowers For Juno – “Physical Culture” – Single Review I’m into it. From what I’ve read, Flowers For Juno is a fairly new band on the scene, based out of England and brought to you by a duo of musical minds, Jack Wilson (instruments) and Benjó James (Vocals).  They’re considering their sound to be Gothic […]Read More

Rockford Road – Epilogue

Rockford Road – Epilogue – Album Review Ayyyy – the old boys are back in town!  Better Epilogue than epitaph, am I right? It was sometime back in the summer of 2021 that we last had Rockford Road on our pages when reviewing the album 60 Grit.  I might not remember everything about anything in […]Read More

Holly Serio Music – Honeysuckle Valley

Holly Serio Music – Honeysuckle Valley – Album Review Ohhh boy…here we go…brace yourselves – I’m about to become the unpopular opinion in the room, as usual.  Let’s muddy the waters first though – I’ll be entirely upfront about how I feel about this new record by Holly Serio Music and tell ya that I […]Read More

Chris Chafin – “Make It Through”

Chris Chafin – “Make It Through” – Single Review Alrighty…so…if you read my previous review on Chris Chafin’s tunes back in the summer of this year, you know I certainly appreciate the fact that he’s been givin’ this music thang the ol’ proverbial college try.  He achieved many stellar results on his album Music Like […]Read More

Tango Spleen Orquesta – “La Musa Del Arrabal”

Tango Spleen Orquesta – “La Musa Del Arrabal” – Single Review Honestly, I love it when music comes to our Canadian pages from so far away.  You regular readers already know that about me by now I’m sure, but sometimes I’ve just gotta put it here in print so that I can remind myself about […]Read More

The Flying Hasslehoffs – Music Brand

The Flying Hasslehoffs – Music Brand – EP Review Alrighty…I know precious little about this duo from Florida, but I can certainly tell ya from the moment I pushed play on this four-song sampler of the ten-song album they released this past summer that it couldn’t possibly be The Flying Hasslehoffs’ first rodeo even though […]Read More
