Boy Hero – Year One – EP Review “Post-Hardcore, but make it anime.” As the opening track “Anteiku” started up with such a pleasant, unassuming, non-aggressive vibe, I still braced myself for the burst of energy that would theoretically be coming right around the corner at any possible moment, given Boy Hero’s self-described take on […]Read More
speakeazie – “Sleeping Broken In Your Bed” – Single Review Most of the time, when I’m talking about identity in music & how it can lead an artist or band out there to a lengthy career and a loyal fan-base, it’s usually in the context of encouraging them to do things in a different way […]Read More
Greg Norton – “Playing With Fire” – Single Review Ayyyy! It’s that down to earth everyman, Greg Norton, who also just happens to possess the superpowers of an all-star musican/songwriter – that guy! Surely you remember the man from previous singles we’ve reviewed here at the homepage over the past couple years like “Echoes,” “Complicate […]Read More

Saure Gurken – “Audiospawn” / “Don’t Shoot” – Singles Review Holy blast from the past! It was way back in 2015 that we last heard from Saure Gurken! I really dig the way that “Audiospawn” creeps throughout its opening, and absolutely love the guitars from Quaziq as the song starts up. While I think it’s […]Read More
Let’s bring it back to when the world started opening up again and the first show we got to see when it finally did! Back in 2021, we hit up the Bronson Centre in Ottawa to check out a full lineup of awesomeness – the night began with FACS and continued to rage on in […]Read More
Jesse James Allen – In The Company Of Machines – Album Review If there’s one title for an album that you’ll find perfectly sums up what a record is really all about this year, it’s likely to be this one. What ARE all these wonderful machines and things and three-letter words that symbolize programs and […]Read More
Uriel – “Ravens” – Single Review Could I even consider it to be a complete day here at the homepage without another artist or band changing their name? #WelcomeToTheNewNormal Anyhow. We’ve got Uriel in review today, so far as I’m told. You might remember this young man from singles I wrote about that he’d released […]Read More
Alias Wayne – “Name Of Love” – Single Review You know what I appreciate at this stage of my career, and/or listening to music in general? I appreciate not really having to think about things at all. Lemme explain. As much as I try not to read what others are writing about music and whatnot, […]Read More
The Ruben – “Your Name (Karma)” – Single Review Well, on the one hand, I think you’ve gotta appreciate the fact that every time you push play on a new track from The Ruben, you never really know what you’re going to get. While there’s no doubt that level of unpredictability can work both for […]Read More
