Paul Middleton – “Take On Me” – Single Review I know what you’re thinking. It’s impossible to see that title and not know instantly what song you’re about to be in-store for. The legendary hit by A-ha that took over the 80s by storm originally…amazing tune, you know it, I know it, we all know […]Read More
Birthpush – “Sh!t Like That” Feat. Big Meeg & Rogie – Single Review Gonna have to go out on a limb here & put some theories into this one… …cause I’m confused. But I suppose that’s much of the point being made here, if I’m reading these tea leaves correctly. Make no mistake – I […]Read More
Arnold Mitchem – “Solo” – Single Review *totally related side-note…it’s a bit ironic to listen to a song called “Solo” that has two singers on a single about being single.* Though to be fair to the guy, depending on where you’re looking online, you might find him “Solo” as Arnold Mitchem…but you might also find […]Read More
RAMONA + The RIOT – “2020” – Single Review What on earth is happening here folks? We need a whole lot more RAMONA + The RIOT out there. You’ll find this is a bit scattered out there around the ol’ internet when it comes to the details & all – but you will find this […]Read More
Mark Newman – “From Me To You” – Single Review Oh my! Believe me when I tell ya…you see the list of credits that come along with Mark Newman’s name out there on the internet, and long before you push play on this shiny new single of his here, you’ll already know you’re in-store for […]Read More
Kiev – Time – EP Review “Kiev is like the Kobe of his generation.” Houston…we have a…second record in review today? Word up to that – if it’s more Kiev, I’m into it. Now…I wouldn’t go as far as to pull the legendary Apollo 13 quote up on the guy, but there is a little […]Read More
Rootspence – Natural Mystics – Album Review Based out of Mozambique! Our work has traveled far & wide across the globe to many places – but unless I’m seriously forgetting something here, this is the first time I can recall us finding our way there – and that’s always exciting to me. Of course, the […]Read More
Kiev – Infinite Positivity II – EP Review The sequel to where it all began! At least for us here at SBS – reviewing Infinite Positivity back early in January of 2017 was my own first experience with the man…if you’re looking real close on the internet though, you’ll find Kiev’s been posting cuts for […]Read More
Black Leather Birds – The Color Of Memory – EP Review Bring. It. ON! Anyone out there that knows anything about me and my personal listening habits, varied as they may appear, already knows full-well that I’d listen to absolutely anything from the mind of A.G. Syjuco. Over the years I’ve had the privilege of […]Read More
Campfires And Coffees – “The Walk Of Us” – Single Review One of my favorite things as a music-reviewer, if not THE thing I love most bar-none, is when I run into an artist or band out there about to take that leap from the safety of the ol’ family & friends, and start to […]Read More
