Between Two Horse Pikes – Dome Sweet Dome/Nobody Cares – Volume 1 – Album Review I tell ya…sometimes it’s true, absence makes the heart grow fonder. It hasn’t even really been that long since we last had Between Two Horse Pikes on these pages of ours…it was only about a year & a half ago […]Read More
Northern Blood – The Space Between Two Oceans – Album Review The opening track, called “Mid Atlantic Ridge,” rips by pretty quickly at less than ninety seconds in total, establishing itself as more of an intro-style tune than anything else. Dig the waves, dig the ambiance of it all…it’s gentle, soothing…and it leaves the album […]Read More
amseiko / minimalnomad / sekret oktober / chilzenni / lekker hondje – Things Must Change 81-85 Depeche Mode Remake This is one of those true variety-filled various artists-type of compilation cover albums – let’s check it out! In the case of the first impression we get of this record, it traces back to amseiko’s band […]Read More
Polyphonic Exophilia – Deep Diver – Album Review It’s always a good sign when I push play and my wife starts yelling ‘hell yeah’ from her office next to mine. If she can get behind something, believe me when I tell ya, the masses out there are sure to love it too. Wonderful woman, but […]Read More
Carl Anderson – Heaven’s Door – Album Review *mighty mouse theme starts to play “Here he comes to save the daaaaaaaay…” Believe me when I tell ya, I’m certainly not going to refuse an album by Carl Anderson in what has been the driest year for independent music that I’ve personally witnessed in the last […]Read More
Roam Like Ghosts – Church – Album Review So much can change in a short amount of time I tell ya. It wasn’t too long ago that we last heard from Roam Like Ghosts…somewhere back in 2021 when we were reviewing their previous album, called …To That Place You Call Home – but way back […]Read More
Arcane-Gel – “Eidolon” / “Apron Strings” – Singles Review Highly interesting stuff goin’ on here. As I pushed play on “Eidolon,” which is the first track from Arcane-Gel’s new album called Pareidolia, and made my way into it, I was quickly convinced that there’s something special to be found in this duo, even if I […]Read More
Underlined Passages – Landfill Indie – Album Review Nope. Nope. Nope. Brace yourselves…I’m about to have a vowel movement. Y’all know I literally bust out into hives anytime Microsoft Word highlights more than two spelling errors in a document, right? Somehow I’m supposed to sit here & type out these song titles from Landfill Indie […]Read More
Soulcare – Into The Soul Of Paul & John – Album Review There’s nothing quite like attempting to take on a set-list of songs by some of the most legendary artists in the history of music, right? Before I even push play…I wish you nothing but the best of luck Soulcare – you’ve taken on […]Read More
Llama Llodge – Lock Den – EP Review One can only imagine the intensity of the debate. “Din is a word too you know, and it would make more sense.” “Well…no. And fuck you. We’re going with Den.” And back & forth, rinse & repeat, as they say. At least I imagine. I could be […]Read More
