Greg Norton – “Spider Man”

Greg Norton – “Spider Man” – Single Review Alrighty!  Time to check out this new Greg Norton tune.  I always dig it when I get the opportunity to check out something from someone I genuinely think highly of – Norton’s a great musician, but he’s arguably an even better guy that’s been a pleasure to […]Read More

KaySax – “Close To You” / “Let Us Dance”

KaySax – “Close To You” / “Let Us Dance” – Singles Review This dude’s in solid shape for the future ahead – I dig what I’m hearing from KaySax so far! As you’d likely assume from the name, we’re talkin’ about saxophone-based music here in review today, and within the instrumental realm, respectively.  While you […]Read More

Tony Venuto – City And Sand

Tony Venuto – City And Sand – Album Review Well whaddya know…I’ve been listening to Tony’s music for about four years or so at this point, yet this is the first time I’ve actually written about it on these pages of ours here.  That’s what happens when you’re the Wizard Of Oz behind the curtain…you […]Read More

K-ORA – ISON-ISAE

K-ORA – ISON-ISAE – EP Review While you’ll often find times I attempt to at least pretend that I know everything under the sun about what’s happening out there in the scene, I think we all know that’s objectively impossible for any of us now, given how much music is out there around the world, […]Read More

Zronimo – Funk Avenue

Zronimo – Funk Avenue – Album Review To say this album has been a long time in the making would be about the biggest understatement I’ve ever made! Ain’t no rules on this kind of stuff though…and I’d be the last person to say you should ever rush your art.  Take your time and get […]Read More

Yes Daddy – DUMB BLONDE

Yes Daddy – DUMB BLONDE – Album Review I probably would have finished this review faster if I wasn’t so damn good at following orders. “I want HANDS inside pants,” yelled Yes Daddy on his opening track, and I was all too happy to oblige. For real…there’s a damn good chance this guy has got […]Read More

la lune – “Disparity”

la lune – “Disparity” – Single Review I am…hmm…probably more excited about this single than the band would ever know.  I suppose it’s time I told them how I feel. Sometime back in like…fuck…November last year I think…I was contacted to check out a song by a local band called la lune based outta Vancouver […]Read More

WALL OF FAME: Best New Sound of 2023 – Milana

The SBS Top 10 Of 2023: #01 – Milana Zilnik – Metamorfosi Shout-out Canada!  Ten years ago when we started our annual Best New Sound quests after only being around on the internet for about a year and a half, we had no idea we’d find so many talented artists & bands over the years […]Read More

Rick Shaffer – Sleeping Dog

Rick Shaffer – Sleeping Dog – Album Review New year, same Rick! That’s not to say you won’t find something different within the lineup of songs on Sleeping Dog, that’s more of a comment on a man that’s a testament to consistency.  Shaffer’s the pinnacle of authenticity & what it means to be true to […]Read More
