William Elvin And The Circus Tour – Happy Days Ahead: The Home Recordings – Album Review I know what you’re thinking…but it’s not like that. Used to be that back in the day, a ‘home recording’ would be the equivalent of a whole bunch of tape-static hissing and sounds bouncing off the walls and overlapping […]Read More

Alien Skin – 1980 Redux – Album Review 1980 Redux you say? I could have sworn that over the past 6 months or so we’ve been living in 1984… Alien Skin returns to the pages here today with a brand-new record, the first since last year’s release of European Electronic Cinema; I say that like […]Read More
Rick Tibbe – “Playground” – Single Review I tell ya…if there’s one thing I love, it’s a debut single that immediately stands out like this does! Electro artist Rick Tibbe might just be onto something here…I don’t want to jump the gun too quickly – but all indications point to this dude having that extra […]Read More
Dust Of Days – “Heavy” – Single Review You know…it’s kind of interesting that ‘greedy flies’ are mentioned in the lead-single from Dust Of Days called “Heavy” – even though it sounds closer in tone and execution to a Social Distortion track, there’s actually a lot in common structurally with that of Bush…who, as many […]Read More

Gregg Stewart – “Starman” – Single Review Dig the concept, dig the execution…part of me wishes that Gregg Stewart didn’t have to make a full record’s worth of covers from the dearest departed musicians we knew, loved and lost in 2016…but I suppose I should really just be thankful that it all didn’t get so […]Read More
Guest Actors – “By Demand” – Single Review Sometimes I really love the pull to writing about music. Take today for example…I’ve got the progressive rock crew from Victoria, BC, known as Spaceport Union who have made their way across Canada here to Ottawa for a show tonight and hang out session tomorrow – I […]Read More
Nick Black – “Joy To The Girl” – Single Review Alright…so…two ways to look at a song like “Joy To The Girl” in my opinion. You could look at it as going so far against the grain of what’s out there today to the point where it’s going to have a tough time getting the […]Read More
Samantha Bouquin – Contemplations On Solitude And Strings – EP Review Let it be known that I’ll happily listen to anything that comes my way from the Mythical Records label…this is a crew that absolutely knows their stuff and always ends up with highly unique, vibrant and versatile artists that have incredibly imaginative sounds. They […]Read More

Last time we reviewed his […]Read More
