Alien Skin – European Electronic Cinema – Album Review Always inspiring to read about the life of a musician and listen to all the twists and turns that their music & career will take them; case in point, the man behind the music of Alien Skin, George Pappas. Even if you’re unfamiliar with the name […]Read More
Shadows & Mirrors – Aria – Album Review Ahhh yeah, some of that good ol’ reliable darkwave industrial-electro music – I’ve always got time for this kind of stuff. Ever since ordering Nine Inch Nails’ Pretty Hate Machine on cassette back in the day – the dynamics of this genre’s style have always pulled me […]Read More
James Reed – Feed The Monster – EP Review For better or worse, what you’ll respect most about the James Reed approach to hip-hop is that it’s inarguably a new one. Over five new tracks, Reed takes you into the avant-garde side of the genre, pulling in a couple sounds you wouldn’t expect to find […]Read More
Tabitha Elkins – Upside Down World – Album Review Interesting stuff from Tabitha here…she’s got an album that kind of plays like an open-book journal. With various states of recordings and different methods clearly being applied to how the music is being made – Upside Down World is a great title for a record like […]Read More
Chris Davidson – “Song For Jann Wenner” – Single Review I mean…if there’s a better musical-appeal to get one’s music into the pages of Rolling Stone than writing a song called “Song For Jann Wenner” I’d be interested in hearing it – I don’t see how you could do much better than dedicating a track […]Read More
1FM – Wish You Well – EP Review Is this just one of those extraordinary days in my life where losing isn’t an option no matter what genre I seem to find myself listening to? Methinks so at this point…amazing music continues to pour in through the speakers at every second here today and I’m […]Read More
Joe Lecrivain – Sing Along – EP Review Here is some real untapped, raw talent. Joe Lecrivain – let me be the first to say…you’re the reason I get out of bed each day…you’re what this show is all about for me. Pick any of the inspiring phrases that the televised talent shows use over […]Read More
Laura Ellis – Broken, Lovely – Album Review If there’s one thing that my eyes have trained themselves to see – it’s a cover of “Bring Me To Life” by Evanescence and the infamous wasted-talent of Amy Lee’s legacy. I’ve been more than critical of such an incredible talent sitting on the sidelines after having […]Read More
The Source – I Feel I Need – Album Sampler Singles Review I got big respect for any band willing to put a warning label on their music playlist that reads ‘CAUTION: LISTEN ON GOOD SPEAKERS J’ – which is exactly what you’ll find at the top of the list at The Source’s main website. […]Read More
A Truth Called Nothing – The Orange Orangutan’s Revenge – EP Review Well…just as I’d felt in the music of their last record and made predictions about A Truth Called Nothing – they’ve held true to their end of the bargain by continually keeping us guessing about which direction, twist & turn will come to […]Read More
