Amilia K Spicer – “Love’s For Living” – Single Review This year’s seal has been officially broken! The award for earliest Christmas tune goes to… …Amilia K Spicer! After nearly five years of writing reviews here at sleepingbagstudios, it’s not like I’d be able to hide my opinion of Christmas music…many of you presumably already […]Read More
Solid Method – Blend In – EP Review As slick as many of you solo-musicians out there truly are, I have to admit, most of the time when you’re doing it all on your own…we know. I don’t mean that in terms of you telling us about it or advertising – I mean that in […]Read More
Kemikal Storm – “Spiritual Rebirth” – Single Review Now…I don’t want anyone to get me wrong here – as a vocalist myself, most of the time when I listen to music I’m waiting for that moment where the singing begins. As a long-standing fan of instrumental music in just about all its forms…I can be […]Read More
AndyK – Layered Ink – Mixtape Review Couldn’t help myself on this one…I was supposed to check out the album-sampler of four songs…call me crazy but, I felt like I had to keep listening to what AndyK came up with on Layered Ink. Dude’s got an interesting approach to music overall really…from what I can […]Read More
Omar Bowing – “Restrained” – Single Review You know, for such a heavy sound & style of music, Omar Bowing sure finds a way to put art into metal. I use metal as one of the terms you could use to describe his band’s sound…you could just as easily call it progressive, alternative & even […]Read More
Noah Archangel – “Black Lotus” Featuring Yeaux Majesty, Juskwam & DJ Thruvo – Single Review “Until you get on the court, you ain’t part of the game.” Fair enough. Not only are those wise-words, it seems as if everyone Noah Archangel knows took the lyrics in the chorus-hook of “Black Lotus” to heart and showed […]Read More
The Naddiks – “RagTop (Yosef Flumeri Remix)” – Single Review It completely makes sense to me that as an artist or band, receiving your music back in a remixed form HAS to be a seriously rad experience. No matter the result, if you have the ability to let go of your art and find yourself […]Read More
Kiev – Half Man Half Amazing – Album Review Psssssst. Hey. Hey emcees. Kiev’s outworking you. Back for the third release of this year, rapper Kiev has thirteen savage new cuts on a brand-new full-length record called Half Man Half Amazing. We heard the Infinite Positivity EP at the beginning of the year and got […]Read More
Ivansson – Gotcha! – Album Review Not to brag or anything…but the independent music-scene has been pretty damn kind as of late. I’ve had the good fortune of taking in some great tunes over the past week or so – and more or less, it’s all been somewhat ‘outside’ of my normal taste…bands like Dave’s […]Read More
Nina Söderquist – “Goodbye” Featuring Björn Skifs – Single Review There are a lot of interesting techniques and undeniable talents being applied on the new single from Nina Söderquist. “Goodbye,” the brand-new single featuring a duet with Björn Skifs already has the benefit of two stunning vocalists, but it also applies bold ideas in the […]Read More
