Jae Dee – “Tears Of Aggression (TEST MIX)” – Single Review “In life you gotta be able to encourage & motivate – and when you make it you turn around and you lift up the next man.” #PayAttentionThereIsWisdomInTheseWords There are pieces of this puzzle that I’m missing, but I imagine they’ll get filled in over […]Read More
Sean Waterman – Devices – Album Review Meat. And Potatoes. Simple. Watching my peers out there online attempt to contort this album’s title into some kind of clever tag line that works has been…oh I suppose both sad & interesting.

Rockford Road – 60 Grit – Album Review Way back in grade nine, it was pretty much mere weeks into my math class that it was discovered I was gonna fail that year, and likely fail hard. Though MORE math was never gonna be the answer, that was the route we all collectively chose for […]Read More
No Serial Killer – No Serial Killer – Singles Review/Album Sampler Betcha there will be more than one typo in this review! That’s right – we’re starting this off with an inside joke. Kind of.
