RaR – “Worried About You” Featuring J. Burney – Single Review I’ve always believed that one of the most important things I can do in going into a review, that wherever the submissions come from or whatever I read on social-media, I do my best to block outside opinions prior to writing my own. Because […]Read More
Bobby Bofman – Singles Review I gotta say…checking out these singles from singer/songwriter Bobby Bofman for the very first time, I sat here in absolute silence, barely moving a muscle, completely captivated by the sound of the song I checked out first, called “Daniel.” Inside of the first ten seconds, I already had chills…just something […]Read More

The Downer Disco – “The Shimmers” – Single Review I love listening to tracks like this for the first time – there’s essentially no possible way you could ever predict what’s coming up next on “The Shimmers” by The Downer Disco. In my world, that’s a beautiful thing…that element of surprise in music is sorely […]Read More

And while I’ve dropped hints […]Read More

The new single “Long Time Gone” […]Read More
The Kings Rising – Pistolero Americana – Album Review Love the TONE here! The Kings Rising come out gunning on their latest album, Pistolero Americana, with serious groove-rock infiltrating their bluesy style immediately, raising up the interest level right away on the opening track “Mr. Gasoline Indian.” I mean we’re talking about some of that […]Read More
Chemical Refugee – “Decimated Days” – Single Review *sniffle*sniffle Rockstars I tell ya. Even in the independent scene they can get so busy so fast they don’t even remember the little guys like us out there. We reviewed Chemical Refugee back in 2015 when we checked out their single “Therapy Song” – even wrote a […]Read More
Ravenscroft – Rebel – EP Review Well…that’s funny…I could have sworn from the band photos I was about to be in for a nice classical experience in beautiful orchestral music…but hard-rock you say? Who would’ve thought? I am of course, kidding entirely. Ravenscroft looks like the virtual embodiment of hard-rock when you look at pics […]Read More
VinLa’Infinite – Mortal – Album Review It was back at the end of good ol’ 2015 when we last heard VinLa’Infinite doin’ his thang on his Heroes Don’t Exist EP – always good to hear a homie is still out there and still on the grind. Stoked to hear where he’s headed to next in […]Read More
