Avaraj – “The Dive” – Single Review Close… One of the toughest thing artists tend to go through is communicating the parts of life that bring them down with the right level of energy…to upbeat and it’ll seem insincere, and if it’s too on-point, it’ll make a two-minute track feel like four. “Life can be […]Read More
Good Spells – “Monsters” – Single Review Somewhere over in the UK, our hero here is found in a converted Airstream he calls the Spells’ Lab… It’s been a minute or two since we last had Good Spells on these pages of ours, but not so long that the name doesn’t still get auto-filled in […]Read More
Jo Potter – Rocks – EP Review Ahhh you gotta love it. The last time I reviewed Jo’s music, I talked about the risk of having songs appear twice on one record when she added in three acoustic versions of tunes she had in the lineup of her album called Tonight. I’ve always been the […]Read More
Deltiimo – Time Tunnel – Album Review BIG album! You can look at this release from Deltiimo in a variety of ways. You could take things on the surface level of how this record has been prepared for your consumption in 2024, and you could make the assessment that it has taken two years to […]Read More
Sandi Glowe – is it the past that affects my will? – EP Review Ayyy whaddya know – one of the most reliably badass independent labels I know of has introduced us to more music I’m interested in! Who would’ve thought? #ThankYouForBeingYouAnalogueTrash That’s legitimate praise by the way…not that anyone out there reading these pages […]Read More
Hania Yiska – Digital Heaven Is Falling: The Very Best Of Hania Yiska – Album Review What in the cases of already settled law have we got here today? An album from nearly six years ago? Ain’t the verdict from the court of public opinion been rendered on these matters by now? I suppose another […]Read More
Relentless Pursuit – Mechanisms Of Destruction – Album Review Okay…I feel like I can do this. Let’s see if I’m right. If you read through my last review on one of the lead-singles from Mechanisms Of Destruction last week, you wouldn’t blame me for bracing myself a bit. Anyhow. New day, new me, as they […]Read More
Testimony Of Apocalypse – “Heretic And The Adversary” / “The Rescue” – Singles Review “Brutal and high energy metal with elements of thrash, groove, and death which come together to form an extremely original and progressive sound.” Well said! I’d have added the occasional capital letter in there for the titles of the genres & […]Read More
Relentless Pursuit – “Modified Reconstruction” – Single Review Wellllllllllllllllll…here we are. I always knew this day would come. The day that I’d have to admit that I’m having a freakin’ hard time listening to the music I’ve been checking out. Alright. So. Look – I remember the last time when I checked out Relentless Pursuit, […]Read More
Mik Dagger – Deadly Love – EP Review Well here we go! Always great to reconnect with Stereo Era Records and hear what our homie Matt Byron has discovered next. Dude’s got highly reliable taste in tunes and he’s smart about where he chooses to invest his time. Results have varied a little bit throughout […]Read More
