Rick Shaffer – Sleeping Dog – Album Review New year, same Rick! That’s not to say you won’t find something different within the lineup of songs on Sleeping Dog, that’s more of a comment on a man that’s a testament to consistency. Shaffer’s the pinnacle of authenticity & what it means to be true to […]Read More
Betweenzone – Means Of Control – Album Review And so concludes the longest gap we’ve got on our pages in between reviewing Betweenzone since we first started listening to’em way back in 2018! It’s been a year and a half since we checked out a single they released called “Flower Lady” in advance of this […]Read More
Scott Kirby – “So Many Ways” / “People Like You” – Singles Review Way back when…sometime in 2017 if the dates on these pages of ours are accurate…we first crossed paths with a singer/songwriter named Scott Kirby through a single called “Love Is Just” and were blown away by the amount of talent he possessed […]Read More
Acid City Nuns – The Engine – Album Review If there’s one thing I learned in reviewing a handful of singles from Acid City Nuns back in the middle of 2021, it’s that you’d never be able to accurately predict what the heck this crazy crew would be up to next. So heck yeah, believe […]Read More
Flowers For Juno – “Physical Culture” – Single Review I’m into it. From what I’ve read, Flowers For Juno is a fairly new band on the scene, based out of England and brought to you by a duo of musical minds, Jack Wilson (instruments) and Benjó James (Vocals). They’re considering their sound to be Gothic […]Read More
Rockford Road – Epilogue – Album Review Ayyyy – the old boys are back in town! Better Epilogue than epitaph, am I right? It was sometime back in the summer of 2021 that we last had Rockford Road on our pages when reviewing the album 60 Grit. I might not remember everything about anything in […]Read More
Holly Serio Music – Honeysuckle Valley – Album Review Ohhh boy…here we go…brace yourselves – I’m about to become the unpopular opinion in the room, as usual. Let’s muddy the waters first though – I’ll be entirely upfront about how I feel about this new record by Holly Serio Music and tell ya that I […]Read More
Chris Chafin – “Make It Through” – Single Review Alrighty…so…if you read my previous review on Chris Chafin’s tunes back in the summer of this year, you know I certainly appreciate the fact that he’s been givin’ this music thang the ol’ proverbial college try. He achieved many stellar results on his album Music Like […]Read More
Tango Spleen Orquesta – “La Musa Del Arrabal” – Single Review Honestly, I love it when music comes to our Canadian pages from so far away. You regular readers already know that about me by now I’m sure, but sometimes I’ve just gotta put it here in print so that I can remind myself about […]Read More
The Flying Hasslehoffs – Music Brand – EP Review Alrighty…I know precious little about this duo from Florida, but I can certainly tell ya from the moment I pushed play on this four-song sampler of the ten-song album they released this past summer that it couldn’t possibly be The Flying Hasslehoffs’ first rodeo even though […]Read More
