Cranky George – “Nighttime” – Single Review I’ll put it to you this way…I’m not quite sure what to make of this…and I’m okay with that. This new single by Cranky George could potentially ‘be’ a lot of things if we’re looking to compare it to different genres, artists or bands. I’m not confused as […]Read More
Audiobender – Pour Me An Encore – Album Review You know something? I woke up in the mood for something like this. I reached for Built To Spill first thing this morning and kind of got in that mindset for the free-wheeling aspect of rock-music combined with smart pop inclinations…and now here we are, with […]Read More
Stig Gustu Larsen – Lifelines + Echoes – EP Review The melancholy piano and raindrops that begin Stig Gustu Larsen’s new EP instantly provide an isolated, intimate and haunting atmosphere. I’ve read the background of Lifelines + Echoes and know that much of the album has heavy themes that dominate the tone, mood and lyrics […]Read More
Michael Dean – “Young Midas” Feat. Tya Mac – Single Review I’ve often cited just how many different ways music can factor into our lives and play different roles in our lives. Take right now for instance…a perfect example…I’ve got “Young Midas” cranked-up on repeat while in the middle of a poker tournament online on […]Read More
Correigh – Under The Influence – EP Review I’ve always been a fan of cover-songs and remixes…I’m not one of those people to be known to be all about the ‘original’ to the point where I can’t appreciate a different experience altogether, which to me, is what a cover song IS as long as it […]Read More
A Choir Of Ghosts – “Ester” – Single Review Perhaps it’s that Bon Iver made a return this year that some truly golden sounds in the independent folk-music scene are decidedly coming back to the forefront of our minds and tops of our playlist as of late. Though A Choir Of Ghosts is a new […]Read More
TheKunig – Singles Review After experiencing the jazzy-nature in the music of Blue Soul Ten earlier-on in review today, heading into the music of TheKunig seemed like a smooth & logical transition. It’s been a great day for the pursuits of art & music combined…and through these new singles from TheKunig, it seems as if […]Read More
Blue Soul Ten – The Fearless Warrior – Album Review I love stories like these…they give me some hope! Blue Soul Ten is the resulting combination of talent & experience that Claye Greene gathered behind the scenes before stepping out into the limelight himself. Always inspiring to hear a story whereby the feeling/pull of music […]Read More
Harmony Drive – “See You” – Single Review Oslo, Norway’s alt/rock/pop band Harmony Drive managed to leave a solid impression & a smile on my face after first listening to & reviewing their album Metal Heads With Broken Hearts all the way back in September of this year. Wait…whaaaaaat? They’re back with new material already? […]Read More
QuinoBLN – “desTINO CASuAL (con toda la admiración y el respeto)” – Single Review Have I finally encountered too much flavor in a single song? QuinoBLN’s new track “desTINO CASuAL (con toda la admiración y el respeto)” is an oddity for sure…it is WILD and more than likely, unlike anything you’ve previously heard or experienced. […]Read More
