Room 1985 – The Bliss – Album Review Always got time in my day for the UK-based post/psych-rockers in Room 1985! Checking this one out in advance and stoked to do so – you can cop yourself a copy on August 10th coming up, just around the corner. For now, you’ll just have to take […]Read More
Josh Christina – “Friend Zone” – Single Review 100% dig this! Man…I can’t remember if/when I’ve ever written a review where I’ve had the opportunity to compare someone to the legendary Jerry Lee Lewis – but this makes the grade & matches that wildness for sure. The Killer turns 83 this year…though I’d suspect he’d […]Read More
Emmanuel Dalmas – Soundcloud Songs – Singles Review This man needs no introduction at this point – he’s still on the front of our page from the last time we reviewed his music only a week ago or so when I was checking out his single/video “My Little Girl,” which he had dedicated to his […]Read More
Tough On Fridays – “The Waywards” – Single Review As a single, I sure dig this…as a band…it sure seems like Tough On Fridays might just be tough every single day of the week…I’m honestly not quite sure what the story is here after reading what I could find online. For instance, you’ll notice the […]Read More

And by […]Read More
Mr MooQ – “Dreaming In Color” – Single Review It was just back in May that we first got turned on to the music of Mr MooQ through his single “Double Happiness” – and then it really wasn’t all that long after that he was a featured guest on the single “Be Careful What You […]Read More
Elmont – “Get Some” – Single Review “I’m gonna hang by the bar…put out the vibe…” Can I just say, I love everything about this new single from Elmont, right down to the artwork? Elmont is rocking a vibe that is stripped right out from my era…a place where movies like Empire Records offered that […]Read More
Michael Regina – A Far Better World – Album Review Don’t mistake a chilled-out sound for a weak work ethic – this is Michael Regina’s FOURTH album this YEAR! How are you feeling about those two songs you’ve been working on for the past year and a half now? Feeling like it’s probably time to […]Read More
Pellé Price – “G Code” – Single Review I’m actually really interested in this cut… Pellé Price is up to something wild here…and I think it works. Even though on most of the award shows you’ll ever see for entertainment, whether it’s music or video, there are at least half of the artists & bands […]Read More
The Dolan Band – “She’s Mine”/”You Do This To Me” – Singles Review I see four men with respectable beards in the promo pics I’ve found on the net for The Dolan Band, so you know they’re plenty cool with me. Just so happens they can put together a killer tune as well! If you’ve […]Read More
