David Anthony Zee – Can’t Sit Still

David Anthony Zee – Can’t Sit Still – Album Review Borrowing from the classics on more than one front, David Anthony Zee gets his remastered album Can’t Sit Still moving and grooving with the opening track “Absolutely Baby,” which essentially owes just about as much to Jerry Lee Lewis as it would his own creativity.  […]Read More

Deltiimo – “Hypersonic” Feat.

Spike Ivory – Outside Looking In

Spike Ivory – Outside Looking In – Album Review I suppose the biography covers at least a little bit of the giant hole in Spike’s resume…but I’m not sure it covers the entirety of what’s kept him from releasing music in between 2005 & his resurfacing in 2022.  Make no mistake, Ivory’s been at this […]Read More

Blunt Objects – NUMB

Blunt Objects – NUMB – Album Review Alrighty…we’ve got some more Blunt Objects music for ya here on our pages… I’ll skip the introduction, because I’m pretty sure if you’ve been on this site before you’re probably plenty familiar with the name by now.  It’s that quirky Bill Owens project we know and love, that […]Read More
