Carquake – Shit’s Fucked – EP Review More than five years ago, when I started listening to a band called Lounge Act Jam, I knew I was listening to something severely special in the music Alan Yang was making. He’d go on to make more of it, which only confirmed I was right, and then […]Read More
mentalEscape – Big Bang – Album Review Hellllllllll yeah! I ain’t gonna lie, I get super apprehensive when I get two records submitted in fairly close two, and even more-so when I really dig the first one I end up reviewing. Similarly as to how it’s practically impossible to follow your best song on an […]Read More
Jah-Femi Telewa – “Swollen Beast” / “GOOD Man” – Singles Review For sure, I’m interested. I’ll tell you this with complete certainty though…I don’t think in my twenty-five years of music journalism that I’ve ever come across a song that’s barely over ninety-seconds in total length that comes with like, two pages of information to […]Read More
Zimmira – “Tik Tock” – Single Review Pop and its many sub-genres has definitely been enjoying a very strong start to 2025 so far. Add Zimmira to the growing list of artists contributing to that – I really dig what I’m hearing on her brand-new single “Tik Tock.” She has an absolutely stellar voice, radiates […]Read More
TSAX – “Amen” – Single Review Testify! I love saxophone. If there’s one thing I might love even more than saxophone, it’s saxophone paired with piano. So heck yeah, you had me at hello with this new single of yours TSAX, without a doubt. As for the rest of the stuff you’ll find in the […]Read More
Michael Raven – “Bends It Like A Guitar String” – Single Review Country…you’re such a weird genre these days. I guess that’s what we’re supposed to call this track? I dunno…I don’t really feel like just going with what I’m told by hype or by press releases…especially when my ears tell me something totally different. […]Read More
Southern Avenue – “Found A Friend In You” – Single Review To be honest, I don’t think these titans really need a stamp of approval from the likes of yours truly, though they’ll certainly get one. I actually ended up watching a live performance from Southern Avenue before I heard the recorded version of their […]Read More
Nothing quite like getting to see some of your heroes on the inside of an old mechanic’s garage! Not only did we get to see one of our favorite Canadian bands of all-time, but hell, we even got to shake hands with Ryan Dahle of Limblifter and express our appreciation for providing us with years […]Read More
Alwyn Morrison – “The City” – Single Review Ayyy! Why not pair a nice upbeat vibe with devastating lyrical misery? I ain’t saying that it’s not insightful – I’m sure Alwyn Morrison would know better than I would. I’m way over here in Canada listening to his impression of what it’s like to live in […]Read More
AK CEEZ & Yung Kenz – “Runaway Train” – Music Video Post “Do some thoughtful thinking!” I couldn’t agree more…I hate the other kind. AK CEEZ & Yung Kenz on the m-i-c, keeping those words flowing like a “Runaway Train” at highspeed. Stylistically slick, this collaboration of talents sounds like they’ve got the determination and […]Read More
