Merit Maker – Attitude Is Everything – Album Review Heckin’ rights it is. Attitude Is Everything Merit Maker, you’re completely right about that. Especially in the realm of anything-Punk…without any attitude, ya may as well fold up your tent & just go home…it’s easily the most defining trait & characteristic of the genre for those […]Read More
Soda Cracker Jesus – “Drug My Soul” – Single Review “Stumbling down the rabbit hole…” #Accurate! Let’s be real here – when have I not been absolutely willing to follow an artist or band right down that blissfully warped rabbit hole? If you’re looking to do things differently than the rest out there and embrace […]Read More
Sarah Rae – “Poison Ivy” – Single Review I like you Sarah Rae. From what I can tell, she’s a fearless warrior on the front-lines of music, and a genuinely creative artist. I don’t know if it was the extra time that kicked in during the pandemic, or if she simply got back around to […]Read More
Adam Marino & Alexandra Shephard – “Oh, Babe” – Single Review Alrighty folks…this is my first experience with the music of Adam Marino. From what I’ve read online, the man is a “born singer, entertainer, and songwriter” – and from what I can hear on this new single “Oh, Babe” featuring Alexandra Shephard, I feel […]Read More
Robert Houk Hitchcock – “Fountain Of Living Waters” – Single Review A good man he most certainly is, and he sounds just as excellent. I’d be hard pressed not to love this latest track by Robert Houk Hitchcock given just how much he reminds me of my favorite band of all-time on this new single […]Read More
Pandu Hutomo – “Insane” – Single Review Hmmm… …am I not just about to tell ya a whole bunch of stuff you already know, Pandu Hutomo? “Insane” came out back in 2019 and it’s in the six-digit category for the amount of hits and spins it’s gotten during the time since its official release…so clearly […]Read More
Yann Sella – “Fire & Gold” Feat. Jenny – Single Review OKAY! A single like this makes me realize it has been FAR TOO LONG since we last had the talents of Yann Sella on our pages over here. It was actually back in 2019 that we last posted this dude’s work for a remix […]Read More
Mark Baughman’s Working Theory – No Prophet Here – Album Review For those that seek out more in the music they rock, we salute you. I’ll be real with ya as always – Mark Baughman’s Working Theory’s latest record No Prophet Here is built on a whole array of intrictate musicianship, Progressive tendencies & involved […]Read More
Tim Salau – “Naija Choppa Flex” – Single Review “I’ve been getting such an awesome reaction from my community. A lot of Trap mamas are banging ’Naija CHOPPA Flex!’ Lol. I’m quite shocked to be frank with you.” Mmm hmm…okay. And why exactly would that be Tim? I mean…I’m just assuming his ears work the […]Read More
The Violet Nines – “Can We Go” – Single Review Believe me when I tell ya, more than half the scene keeps me awake at night. Some of the time, that’s simply due to a great song being stuck in my head…but I’d say the majority is spent tossing & turning over whether or not […]Read More
