The Punk Crone – “Bad Dolly” – Single Review Let’s see, let’s see…which route do we go this morning? Do I start with some history? Do I tell ya about the numerous projects that Sue Williamson has been a part of over these past few years alone and how almost each time she shows up […]Read More
Mighty Mage – Ancient Scrolls II – Album Review “Oh my, how the world is changing. Oh my, how strange this all is now.” Prescient. Man does that first line hit ya. I got chills listening to the melody, music, and vocals of the very first cut on this record by Mighty Mage – Ancient […]Read More
T-Roy – Storyteller – Album Review I have such respect for the artists out there that really do things differently than the rest – and after a solid listening to the album Storyteller over this past week or so, T-Roy is definitely included in all that. Dude’s busting out of New York with a creative […]Read More
Mandy Rowden – “Sing Hallelujah” – Single Review Absolutely solid stuff from artist Mandy Rowden – I’m digging the sound I hear in her latest single “Sing Hallelujah” – and perhaps even more importantly, I can certainly hear the potential she’s got. You’ll see labels like Alt-Country attached to Mandy’s music out there…and I wouldn’t […]Read More
The Lloyd Carter Band – Nothing To Lose – Album Review You know…it’s funny…I’d bet that there would be a ton of people out there that would assume Country music isn’t something I look forward to reviewing based on my own preferences & personal taste – but that would be incorrect. As a sworn defender […]Read More
Count Our Losses – “Brand New Ordinary” – Single Review Crisp & clear, kickass Punk…hard to argue with that. So here’s what I can tell ya. When I have been searching for that extra spark of solid melodic Alt/Rock, I have reached several times for Nick Passio’s other band 1FM and their Wish You Well […]Read More
Dan Sonenberg – Working For The Man – EP Review The inscription that comes along with the official online posting of this record reads: “Black Lives Matter Not My Fascist Music from the lockdown To be played at maximum volume” Don’t mind if I do Dan…lemme turn this up – I like what I’m seeing […]Read More
Jana Pochop – “Oh My Heart” – Single Review Oh-so-many thoughts…where to start…where to start… Let’s begin with a fun fact you may/may-not know about me already…there’s pretty much no time in any day that I can think of where I probably wouldn’t rather be listening to Jana’s music if I had the option – […]Read More
Turfseer – “Nevermore” – Single Review Turfseer is definitely one of the more interesting characters out there in the scene, I’m always willing to give him that. Dude’s been working away on a harvest of Covid-19/pandemic tunes this year – we’ve seen a couple show up here in review in the past in discussing “The […]Read More
The Charlie Kulis Band – “Come And Getcha Some” – Single Review From the brand-new record called Twisted, we’ve got the lead-single/opening track “Come And Getcha Some” here in review today – and…well…I might just have to cross over to the other side of the fence for a moment here & break my ‘normal’ character…whatever […]Read More
