Caramel Snow – “Sweet And Cynical”/”A Cold Dark Autumn” – Singles Review I’m not naïve! It’s impossible to have a look at the cover of a record and not get a first impression of what the music on it might be like…and I swear if you’ve written as many of these reviews as I have, […]Read More
If you were one of the fine people that checked into last night’s episode of the SBS Podcast – today’s nomination is no surprise to you! Within an entire list of bands/artists that made the year extraordinarily tough to select a final top-10…I decided to also sneak in today’s nomination into the lineup. Alright alright…wasn’t […]Read More
On today’s show we honor those that came just shy of making our official top-ten for this year’s SBS reader-voted quest for Best New Sound 2016…all bands/artists in this episode made even making a list at all an impossible task due to the incredible year it’s been for independent music. So let’s celebrate that and […]Read More
Some of the year’s most powerful, socially-aware and boldly-expressive tunes came directly from A Truth Called Nothing. We got the opportunity to review this band a couple times throughout 2016, at first for their incredible album Sluggerhand and then for their EP – the politically well-timed set of songs on The Orange Orangutan’s Revenge.

With her stunning Enemy Of The People EP absolutely hitting the mark for uniqueness, beautiful textures and bold atmospheres in the music…combining them with the extraordinary, soaring vocals you’ll find in this project made this record we heard back in September pretty much guaranteed to find itself in the top-10 list this year – and […]Read More
I was, am and am-still impressed by the way this band of three-siblings, all spread-out throughout the globe created one of the darkest & most vibrantly artistic albums of the entire year; Jack Of None held nothing back on their album Who’s Listening To Van Gogh’s Ear? and fully committed themselves to every idea and […]Read More
Grand Tradition – Your Wish – EP Review Confession…I don’t often make a point of looking at how a band/artist tend to define their sound genre-wise until I’ve usually posted-up my thoughts as they’ve come to me naturally…even in those moments it’s more of a confirmation thing…finding out details after the event doesn’t ever change […]Read More
