Ify Folorunsho – “Possible” / “Come” – Singles Review When I clicked onto Ify’s single “Possible” for the first time, there was a whole bunch of qualities that instantly stood out for all the right reasons. For example, the production in the music hits ya before the vocals even have a chance to, and you […]Read More
Nosebora – Sink Your Teeth In – Album Review That is indeed, a strange name to have gone with! Would have been tough to pin down what I thought Nosebora would have sounded like on sight alone…this time around, I was better off to just push play. What’s in a name anyway, am I right? […]Read More
SAVARRE – “Art Of The Bleed” – Single Review Ayyy…what have I always told ya? There’s never a bad time to promote your music, and unless you’re absolutely positive that everyone on the planet has heard it, then it’s gotta still be new to someone no matter how many years have gone by. SAVARRE’s single […]Read More
Asher Laub, Ginny Luke, Johannes Gritschacher – “Misirlou” – Single Review Well there’s every reason to be stoked about this instrumental single right here! That being said, I practically needed a dictionary and a thesaurus to get through the press release that came along with “Misirlou” – and quite frankly, I’m not all that sure […]Read More
Jeffrey Hull – To All My Friends – Album Review I’ll fully admit…I never really know what to say when someone tells me that they’re ‘done with music.’ Saying “okay” seems like a very short but fairly harsh response, but it’s usually the only one I can ever come up with. Don’t get me wrong, […]Read More
Nova Cascade – The Navigator – Album Review “Can’t cauterize the wound.” Technically, those are the first words you’ll hear on Nova Cascade’s new album, and some of the truest you’ll find. If you’ve been following along, you know that making this record was no easy task for the band…it began with the lineup you […]Read More
D.Ni.L – Better? – Album Review Better? Mentally? Physically? What are we talkin’ about here? Musically, D.Ni.L’s already one of the best there is out there in the scene today, and we’ve recognized that pretty much from the moment we started listening to the man way back in 2018 on the first song we ever […]Read More
Cornbread Wallace – Drivin’ Like Hell – EP Review When you’ve been doin’ this music thang as long as I have been, you definitely know what to expect when you come across a name like Cornbread Wallace on your playlist. I ain’t claiming to be some kind of savant or anything…take the Pepsi challenge for […]Read More
LUI – Graduation: The American Dream – EP Review “It’s A Mood” for sure, but as the story behind the man goes, everything you’re listening to represents significant accomplishment as well. LUI’s story takes him all the way back to being “born in the slums of Peru” before he migrated to America, where he pushed […]Read More
Ex-Okay – “A Thousand Pictures One Word” / “Ashes” – Singles Review There will be differing theories as to what’s been keeping Ex-Okay away from the scene, but there’s really only one that’s real. If you read my last review on the band from way back at the end of 2018 on their first album […]Read More
