Zhaojiabang – “Shen Pian” – Single Review What can I say? I enjoy being right just as much as the next person…especially when it comes to music. When we were first introduced to the Shanghai-based art/alt-rock band back in June of this year through the single & video for their song “La Patience” – I […]Read More
Yann Sella – Existence – EP Review Definitely more than a few of us out there listening to the brand-new EP from French producer Yann Sella…I could visibly see the hit-counter moving up quickly while the first wave of music-reviewers like myself began to jump into this moving set of three songs. Your turn will […]Read More
Torin Muccino – For The Times – Album Review This dude is going places. Feels like I’ve been on a pretty good run of luck when it comes to reviewing full albums lately…gonna keep that momentum flowing in the right direction & write about the debut record from Torin Muccino. I’ve had the opportunity to […]Read More
Collins And Streiss – “Change” – Single Review Y’all know me…I’m a big fan of you fine people using your platform in every way you can to say something. Ultimately I prefer it when what that ‘something’ is, isn’t always about chicks’n’cars – I think there’s a much more altruistic approach that can be taken […]Read More
Vessel Decimal – CONVERSION Level One – Album Review Well hot damn! Vessel Decimal has seriously got something to say on this new record. Many things. As the opening “Orientation” will go on to explain…this is much more of an experience…a course in learning…objective evolution at work in the midst of metal mayhem and progressive […]Read More
I, Useless – Twister – Album Review It’s rare for me to be quite as excited about any album coming out as I am about this one. In early October of last year, I was introduced to a handful of singles from a project known as I, Useless – four songs that were so strong, […]Read More
Luanne Hunt – Backroads, Bottles & Blues – Album Review I gotta say…there’s something extremely charming about Luanne Hunt. It’s that intangible, endearing magic that makes you root for an artist or band to succeed…she’s stocked full of that. Earlier this year, we were introduced to her music through the lead-single “Lightning In A Bottle” […]Read More
John Keenan – Late Bloomer – Album Sampler/Singles Review Just passed the five-year anniversary of the first time we listened to John Keenan’s music…way back in the day, back in ’13 through the album Imagination To The Nation, which we reviewed here at SBS. While it’s easy to point out that these milestones are obviously […]Read More
Cicada 3301 – “Music Mix” – Single Review Over the course of our history making it, music has continually evolved in several directions. Regardless of anyone’s opinion on the current state of where it’s at in any given point in time – we’re a heck of a long way from where it all began. There […]Read More
Acharya – “Tilt” – Single Review Oooooooooooo! I’m really liking this! From the first initial seconds of the new single “Tilt” by Acharya, I honestly thought I was about to be in for some Post-Punk/New Wave/80’s-influenced music for a brief moment. Quickly revealing itself to be much more widespread than any one style, the blend […]Read More
