Relentless Pursuit – To Fear Is To Live

Relentless Pursuit – To Fear Is To Live – EP Review YOU may or may not remember good ol’ Matthew Konradt and his band Relentless Pursuit, but I sure do.  If you wanna know why that is, click here and read one of the past reviews I wrote about his music for a song called […]Read More

Scarlight – “Forbidden Love”

Scarlight – “Forbidden Love” – Single Review Everybody out there loves a great story of resilience & determination – you’ll find that in Scarlight. As far as I know based on these scattered notes I’ve got upon my dusty desk here at sleepingbagstudios, she’s only sixteen years old, and her music is coming to our […]Read More

Sonic Scene Kids – You Are Not Alone…

Sonic Scene Kids – You Are Not Alone… – Album Review From the ol’ eastern side of the country, eh? Always good to hear music from Canada if you ask me, but hey, I live here.  Up until a couple years ago, I wasn’t all that far away from where Sonic Scene Kids are based […]Read More

Illeeria – “My Story In Chords”

Illeeria – “My Story In Chords” – Single Review With tens of thousands of hits pouring in online within mere days of the release of Illeeria’s new single, I can’t imagine she needs further confirmation from me.  Clearly people all around the globe are already paying attention & I’m sure that counts for a whole […]Read More

Casey Frensz Presents – Captain Queso And The Intergalactic Battle

Casey Frensz Presents – Captain Queso And The Intergalactic Battle Of The Bands – Album Review “The syncopator needs more cowbell!”  #FunkinRightsItDoes! So look…clearly it would be stranger for anyone out there to assume a record entitled Captain Queso And The Intergalactic Battle Of The Bands would be normal than the other way around, you […]Read More

SBS Live This Week 192

These amazing dudes!  Moon Hooch…I tell ya.  Great freakin’ band!  We were so pumped to see this show from being longstanding fans of their wild saxophone-based freakout jams – and though we were technically there at The Biltmore in 2023 to check them out live, the place was so packed to the rafters that we […]Read More

Pablo Embon – Where We Came From

Pablo Embon – Where We Came From – Album Review Fun fact – I actually like Jazz a lot more than I’d assume many of you think.  The reality is, there’s less of it out there in comparison to most genres that tend to come through these pages of ours, but it’s always been a […]Read More

myqo – “scream”

myqo – “scream” – Single Review I am gonna go ahead annnnnnnnnnnnnd…yes…I’m gonna give this track my official stamp of approval. Because…well…for many reasons really, but there are parts of myqo’s “scream” that have proven to be genuinely irresistible to me, long before he even stepped into the spotlight…but we’ll get to that… For real […]Read More

SBS Live This Week 191

Oh hell yeah!  If you haven’t checked out New Age Doom yet, you have indeed been missing out.  We’d know, because we almost did ourselves as we had to navigate serious traffic on the way into Vancouver to catch’em live at The Rickshaw in an opening set from 2023.  Since then, we’ve gone on to […]Read More

Ryan Saranich – Exceptional Chaos

Ryan Saranich – Exceptional Chaos – EP Review You certainly won’t find me complaining about the opening into this record – as “Like-Minded Tyrant Part 1” started up Exceptional Chaos, I felt like we all get treated to a stellar combination of mystery and melody as one, and heck yeah, that’s intriguing to me in […]Read More
