Dennis Sy – “Shine On” Featuring Natalie Jean & Darick DDS Spears – Single Review It’d be hard not to appreciate the passionate power of enthusiasm in the pop-melody of “Shine On” – it certainly radiates an inspiring amount of positivity in its combination of message and music. Enlisting some excellent assistance to bring his […]Read More
Third Realm – Psychosis – Album Review Buffalo, New York’s dark-electro band is back in action with a brand-new album…Third Realm has just released Psychosis and it’s every bit the wild-ride you’d expect from this crew. Last time out when we reviewed their album Deranged in 2015 we had good things to say…and we made […]Read More
Meshach Abednego – “Everlasting Light” – Single Review There are very few artists out there right now that can bring a smile to my face like this guy does. We’ve covered much of Meshach’s music here on our pages in the past…and no matter the song, pass or fail, he’s always managed to really impress […]Read More
Digital Escort – “God Of Mine”/”Something In The Way” – Singles Review After reviewing another one of the latest singles from Digital Escort just hours ago…we’re still following this band down the rabbit-hole hours later and checking out a couple more singles that came our way. Two vibrant electro/industrial tunes that also take a gigantic […]Read More
Digital Escort – “Machine” – Single Review It would appear as if the mischief & mayhem of the music of Digital Escort has found its way to our pages once again…and that’s always a good thing as far as I’m concerned. Easily one of the most reliable bands out there right now for quality in […]Read More
The Ann Wilson Thing – EP#2 Focus – EP Review Sometimes I genuinely get to give my head a shake and realize I’m far luckier than most people I know in having a vocation I truly love…and those moments usually come along with discovering something in the independent-scene that I would have never expected to […]Read More
After Aura – In The Dark – Album Review Cool crew of people here in After Aura…one understanding group of individuals I’d assume! I’ve often pointed out just how theoretically impossible it would be for me to be in a band of more than one or two people…anything after that seems like it would just […]Read More
William Elvin And The Circus Tour – “But I Love No One But You” – Single Review I’m guessing lots has changed for young William Elvin since the last time we had a chance to interview him on our pages. Take for example…well…the very moniker of the name on the review here, William Elvin And […]Read More
Lockjaw Smile – The Jester – EP Review Someone has clearly infiltrated the Lockjaw Smile camp…and I’d assume that it must be The Jester himself. Of course…that’s just a theory I’m working with…but talk about a suspicious looking album-cover would you? Looks harmless enough right? Well…I count four heads whereby anything you read or look […]Read More
Samurai Shin – Original Soundtrack Review I can get behind this for all kinds of reasons. First off – we’ve got ourselves a great combination of art + music here…and you KNOW I support that. Samurai Shin is a new comic-book that’s just been released at the tail-end of August – just read the first […]Read More
