Ron Hamrick – “You Hear Me Say I Love You” – Single Review Somewhere in between the earnest & humble sound of Neil Young’s style and the Armageddon-era of the Aerosmith catalog, you might find a tune like this. Which kinda makes sense in a couple of ways really – sure there’s a similarly endearing […]Read More
Zygon – Earth And Sky – Album Review If there is anything I’ve learned throughout my years as a music-critic, it’s to write my intros last – because words cannot describe how truly fast things can change out there in our independent scene. For example…when I first started listening to this new internet-based band revolving […]Read More
Bludgers – “Dirty Laundry” – Single Review Interesting & highly interpretive tune we’ve got here. I’m still trying to get my head around the band-name though…it sounds like you could beat someone with Bludgers. Not since Led Zeppelin and Anvil has a moniker sounded like it was so damn heavy. They’re an amps-up band from […]Read More
Pascal Bokar – American Trails – EP Review Far be it from a guy like me to tell the good doctor here that I’d know any better than he does about what to prescribe your ears out there! The question is…is Dr. Bokar here in for an uphill battle in getting his music out there […]Read More
A Tal Men – “Mister” / “Little Broken String” – Singles Review Dig it, man. If you tuned into the most recent episode of the SBS Podcast, you’d have gotten yourself a sample dose of the avant-garde sound A Tal Men is rockin’ with over the course of a six-minute tune called “Mister” and heard […]Read More
Roam Like Ghosts – …To That Place You Call Home – Album Review Hearing that first remarkable dip downwards in the melody of the opening tune “Before We Began” captured my interest right away as I was listening to this new album by Roam Like Ghosts, a duo consisting of Matthew Daugherty singing for ya […]Read More
Stephon Foster – “Purple Sky” / “Love Adrenaline” – Singles Review If you tuned into the most recent episode of the SBS Podcast earlier today, you had the opportunity to check out one of a couple cuts that have come our way recently by Stephon Foster, called “Purple Sky.” If you haven’t yet – you’re […]Read More
Ronald Williams – “Entering Funk Avenue” / “Finally” Feat. Katja Macabre – Singles Review This guy. If you want to challenge yourself in this lifetime, try to keep this cool cat’s catalog straight. Here’s an example of what it’s like on this side of the screen. We’ve got a track called “Finally” here in review […]Read More
Leo Harmonay – Astoria – Album Review Rare to find authenticity like you’ll find in Leo Harmonay. I was probably about halfway through the first song on Leo’s new album Astoria called “We All Know,” maybe even less, before I realized we’ve got every bit as much of a poet here as we do a […]Read More
Melissa Quinn Fox – “Give It A Try” – Single Review ‘tis bulletproof, m’lady. There ain’t a solitary second of Melissa Quinn Fox’s new song I’d even dare to suggest changing – she’s got the very definition of a single-worthy tune in the modern-day Country/Pop realm with “Give It A Try” and an absolutely fabulous […]Read More
