Aldrich Benson – “She” – Single Review These guys really do have a great thing goin’ on. It was only back in February that we first latched onto Aldrich Benson and its duo of musicians in Bob & Michael that make the magic happen through a couple of singles sliced from their Intelligent Music EP, […]Read More
Billy Roberts And The Rough Riders – “Broken Hill” – Single Review On the bright-side Wild Bill my man, the music continues to flow! Ain’t no doubt that our hero here has had the pandemic era on his mind as of late, and rightly so of course…it’s on all of our minds in some way, […]Read More
mentalEscape – Grunge Tape – Album Review Well I’ve certainly learned a few new things so far! Like…here’s a fun fact you might not know – when you pull a record off of Spotify, it still leaves an unplayable impression? Who knew that? So like, what – we get to LOOK at it for the […]Read More
Jeff Shadows & Low Key Trampoline – Slow Motion Spring – EP Review Well now, what DO we have here? This is something special, that much I can tell ya – I’m really liking what I hear on this upcoming EP from the collaborative duo of Jeff Shadows & Low Key Trampoline – this works […]Read More

Technically, though he was rocking under a different name back in the day, it’s been more than five years since we had the music of Lazarus Benson featured up on our pages! Honestly, it feels like it […]Read More
Aromak – “Guidance” – Single Review Not too much is known about Aromak from what I can tell…they’re keeping just a few details still hidden at this point, early on into their career. I’ve been able to figure out that it’s a band with two players that came from different cities…based somewhere out there in […]Read More
Yona Marie – “Will You Remember” – Single Review So…hmmm… …yeah I’m not above admitting when something is probably gonna fly right over my head. I’m long on record here as knowing a thing or two about music…and having said many more times that outside of that one specific subject, I know less than the […]Read More
Joho – Upper Campus – EP Review If there’s one truly awesome problem to have when you’re listening to music, it’s simply not being able to choose a favorite from the record you’ve put on – and you’ll quite likely find that’s the case with Joho’s new EP here. Did you place your bets? Did […]Read More
