Lazarus Benson – “Escape” – Single Review Eventually, no matter how hard or how fast we run, the icy grip of time comes to claim us all in some way. Some of us choose to adapt and find ways to push things forward, and some try their level best to cling to what was. Honestly, […]Read More
Wingspeak – “Valley” – Single Review Right on – I’m happy to hear this new single from Wingspeak come out sounding so complete. Especially when you consider what Bianca, the mind behind the music, was aiming for. She was lookin’ to create something in that Americana/Pop/Rock realm…something along the lines of what you’d have found […]Read More
Les Fradkin – “Together” – Single Review Yep. This does indeed still sound like Les Fradkin. I should have some semblance of an idea of what that would be like, given that this is the sixth time I’ve reviewed his music in this same year. That being said, there are noticeable differences in this single […]Read More
LAZORE – “Searching For Something” – Single Review Lots of questions, and very few answers. #AintLifeGreat? LAZORE is “Searching For Something” in his latest single, amidst what has been one of the busiest years of production & promotion that you’ll find out there anywhere within this scene we share. I’m sure you can relate on […]Read More
Helen O’Shea – “Sturdy Soul” / “Holy Mother” Feat. Alexander Simone – Singles Review Alrighty…there’s something here for sure. I’m not going to say that I completely know what just yet, but there is something here. I read the label of ‘AmeriCeltiCana’ and definitely felt that instant pang of pain that reminds me how much […]Read More
Dirti Speshuls – Come Again – Album Review It’s always a good sign when I start out listening to an album feeling like I’ve heard the first song before when that’s actually the case. As “Won’t See Me” started up the new Dirti Speshuls record Come Again, I was more than convinced I’d heard it […]Read More
DEAD HENDRIX & Yungcudii – “MUSTANG” – Single Review “Ayyyy my bitch called…” Ohhhh I see…it’s some of that progressive-type stuff… Alright…that’s probably a bit on the sarcastic side, but I’m confident that DEAD HENDRIX don’t give a fuck about a little attitude comin’ at him from a guy like me. Besides, he’s rockin’ with […]Read More
JC++ – “Lights Lasers Cannons Fireworks Drones My Heartbeat” / “Semantic Satiation” – Singles Review So…maybe titles aren’t everyone’s thing…as long as the music sounds good, you’ll probably get by. I kid, I kid…at least to a degree. To be truthful, I doubt I could care less what anyone calls anything. If the music works, […]Read More
Some Distant Memory – “Splash Around” – Single Review Holy have we ever been jumping around on the timeline throughout these pages of ours lately! We’re taking you back to 2017 with this one…remember how different the world was back then? Seems like it was a whole lifetime ago at this point…or at the very […]Read More
Stoker – Programmed To Exist – Album Review Man! I freakin’ dig the confidence in Stoker’s vocals as this title-track started up the record…Joseph Belsher attacks the microphone with clear & bold tone, not holding anything back as he establishes a standard that he’ll go on to live up to throughout the course of this […]Read More
