Da Challenger – “Loved & Lost” – Single Review A good lead single will make you want to listen to the rest of the music on the record. I remember back in the day, sometimes you’d hear a single so good you’d tear the CD package open with your teeth if you had to, whatever […]Read More
RaKeem – Singles Reviewed RaKeem’s done pretty well with these new singles we’ve gotten ahold of. For the most part, what I’ve heard is a solid mix in R&B/hip-hop music, well-written songs that showcase some of the real strengths that RaKeem has as a singer/songwriter. As a set of four singles…with no additional information to […]Read More
Additional shots from one of our favorite bands in the indie-music scene, Aztec of Vancouver Island. They made it over on their way through town on tour to crash for the night and let a couple sets rip in the studio. Got B-sides and rarities on this incredible band for miles and miles! They stayed […]Read More
Chords Of Truth – “Wonder” – Single Review Sweet intentions, melody, harmonies and ambitions flare in the new single “Wonder” by Chords Of Truth. A beautifully-mixed light-folk/acoustic tune – it’s been a very long time since we last heard from Jason Garriotte, the main musician driving the entire project…but it’s comforting to know that this […]Read More
The Grandfather – Tomb/Stone – EP Review If your grandfather sounded anything like this while you were growing up as a kid, you would have shit your pants and running screaming in the other direction. At least in like, 85% of cases or more, I guarantee it. Some of you got lucky with youngsters that […]Read More

Lulu216 – “Critics” – Single Review From the moment the innovative & creative samples started the music of Lulu216’s new single “Critics” I was pretty much hooked already…the heading from that to the confident way she approaches the mic on the first verse, right into the empowering chorus and message and topped off with a […]Read More
Max Million – Monogramma – EP Review Hot off the press! I’m serious – this is about as fresh as it gets…not just in the incredible sounds on this new EP from Max Million, but I’m talking about timeline itself – the Monogramma EP just came out today! If you’re a fan of electronic-music, IDM, […]Read More
Bonesteel – Epitome Of Infamy – EP Review Seriously explosive tunes from Bonesteel, a three-piece from Los Angeles, CA that sounds like they’re ready to torch the entire sunset-strip with their big & beefy, meaty-metal sound. Mind you, there’s a lot more going on…but I’d definitely say metal is certainly straight at the forefront of […]Read More
Altamina – Tomorrow Morning Will Be Tonight – Album Review Canadian-based band Altamina has a sound & style that I can definitely identify with. Very similar to the best songs from The National…the slow ones where each song has a magical part you just wish would go on for forever…Altamina seems to be built of […]Read More
