Zero Verdict – Walk Tall

Zero Verdict – Walk Tall – Album Review I’ve known about the music of Zero Verdict for some time now…wasn’t too long ago that I reviewed the lead-single from this very album, Walk Tall, called “Train” in fact. I’ve known this band to make music at an incredibly high-caliber since being turned onto their music; […]Read More

Rick Shaffer – Jitterbug Shake

Rick Shaffer – Jitterbug Shake – Album Review Considering I was bracing myself for something more akin to The Brian Setzer Orchestra…I’ve been breathing a steady sigh of relief listening to the music of Rick Shaffer’s latest album Jitterbug Shake, thankful that I’ve not been taken into the sounds of swing or anything ‘big-band.’ Something […]Read More

Van Der Trip – “Elements”

Van Der Trip – “Elements” – Single Review Chances are you won’t meet a musician quite as enthusiastic as the mind behind Van Der Trip’s music, Pawel Dambek is within the next ten years. I can tell you from the behind-the-scenes correspondence here in between us that this dude is completely jacked about making music […]Read More

Natalie Ceva – Atlas – EP Review Have you ever had the pleasure of being able to close your eyes and step into the world of music made by someone that truly lives for the moment? Having been able to review just a few albums over this past decade…I can tell you that I’ve definitely […]Read More

Tricky Mandrake – “Shoes That Bleed (Feat. Feeki)”

Tricky Mandrake – “Shoes That Bleed (Feat. Feeki)” – Single Review Alright…before anyone decides to shank Tricky Mandrake for attempting to bring back the rap/rock era to our current music climate…let me make a few arguments as to why it’s okay so we can get it all out on the table before we get into […]Read More

The Liquorsmiths – This Book Belongs To

The Liquorsmiths – This Book Belongs To – EP Review When you look up San Diego, CA’s folk-rock band The Liquorsmiths on their social media pages, you’ll see they make ‘music for listeners,’ how cool is that right? I don’t know if The Liquorsmiths happen to know this or anything else about me…but I’m one […]Read More

Nature Ganganbaigal – The Mantra

Nature Ganganbaigal – The Mantra – EP Review You’ve heard this before. Maybe not as it is recorded here by solo instrumental-artist Nature Ganganbaigal…maybe it was some time ago now…maybe this is the music that you hear when you close your eyes and daydream, somewhere in the deep recesses of your mind. What Nature Ganganbaigal […]Read More

The Moody Caterpillars – Beating Heart

The Moody Caterpillars – Beating Heart – EP Review Well then! New Dehli – hello and WELCOME! Is this what you’ve sounded like all along?

Jean-Philippe Tremblay – Magic Love

Jean-Philippe Tremblay – Magic Love – Album Review I feel a massive kinship with Jean-Philippe Tremblay…it’s been a while since I’ve stumbled across music that’s made in a similar fashion to my own band. Very much like the music that my old studio-partner Rob @ SBS and I still continue to make, long after the […]Read More
