Marc Biala – “La Hora de Echidna” / “Parking Lot Wars” – Singles Review All good things, as they say…and you know how the rest of that saying goes… I was doing my best throughout the last review or two of Marc Biala’s music that it might be time to put on the brakes a […]Read More

Lazarus Benson – “Burn Down” – Single Review I’ll admit, I was a little bit skeptical. When I received the new single from Lazarus Benson, which came along with notes that mentioned how a lot had changed in “sound and more,” my first thought was like…how?

I present to you, my case in-point…sunday works, who are currently […]Read More
Marvel Mike – V – EP Review Mannnnnnnnnnn…if y’all knew how much I hummed and hawed about putting Marvel Mike’s May The 4th Be With You EP on our top ten list back in 2021, you’d be as shocked as I am that it’s taken this long to get to his new record V. No […]Read More
Eli Tidmore – “Jean” / “After Hours” – Singles Review Man…I tell ya…sometimes you click on something and you’re instantly wowed.
