Kiev – Priority – Album Review After a three-record year in 2017 including the Infinite Positivity EP and full-albums Swish & Half Man Half Amazing – these past nearly ten months have actually been the longest stretch without rapper Kiev’s music on our pages since we started listening. Of course, the good news being that, […]Read More
duØ – “Bits Of Tape” – Single Review Really solid ground that producer/artist duØ is standing on here – this new single has a beautifully soulful vibe to it that gorgeously threads Electro, Soul, R&B, Pop & Gospel into one blissful experience. From the looks of things online, “Bits Of Tape” is the debut tune […]Read More
Griff – “New Style” – Single Review Oh Canada! Don’t get caught sleepin’ on this cut! That goes for you too, rest of the world. From the looks of things, this Toronto-based artist has been changing up his game once again. If you look at his history, dude’s already racked-up tons of awards and airplay […]Read More
Grandview Station – Grandview Station – Album Review According to everything I’ve listened to, read about & researched on Grandview Station, there are other players on this record that you’ll hear other than lead-singer/guitarist Scott Arivett – we just don’t know who fits in where exactly. There’s an entire list of’em up at the main […]Read More
Scott Kirby – “Something To Move” – Single Review Definitely not an artist I’ve forgotten – Scott Kirby made a solid gold impression with a tenderized tune he put out last year called “Love Is Just” that showed the depth of his passion & songwriting were going to continually lead him to excellent results when […]Read More
Warm Chord Music – “Haunted Dreams” – Single Review We might be in for one of them ol’ redesigned sounds here… From the looks of things, Jay Croft, the musical mastermind behind the tunes of Warm Chord Music, is working with a few new people in the mix. I’m just going by what I’m looking […]Read More
The Owl-Eyes – “I Could Careless” – Single Review Well…from a wordsmith angle, I’m definitely interested based on the title alone…let’s see if this ends up being grammatically correct after all…could certainly be interpreted that way… …and there the hooks are. Nope, wrong spelling in that context. …wait. Are they trolling us here? Is this […]Read More
Young Orpheus – Distant – EP Review Love the way this record begins…a real smart transition into the vocals leads the way into the new Young Orpheus EP on a song called “Concrete” as the man flips the tape on over before he brings it to the mic. It’s one of several qualities you’ll find […]Read More
In The Stars – Singles Review From the handful of singles I’ve got here from LA-based band In The Stars, it’s clear that bringing the rock right to the people is priority number-one. I’ve got love for that. I’ve had a scan of what I can find out about them online, social-media pages & whatnot…I […]Read More
King Noire – “Radiator (Steel & Stilettos)” – Single Review Make no mistake homies, this man fucks. In all honesty I’m trying to figure out if I just heard a supremely badass new Rap track or a straight-up commercial advertisement for King Noire’s big D & how it can supply you ladies out there with […]Read More
