Sebastian Janoski – “Pure Gold” – Single Review Put it to you this way – Sebastian Janoski has me feeling pretty optimistic about his future. Whether or not I’m ready to acknowledge the new-single “Pure Gold” to be what its title might have you believe…well…I’m not quite so sure. “Pure Gold Potential” – and I […]Read More
Mindz I – iOmega – Album Review Nothing like setting yourself up for an uphill battle within mere moments of a record beginning! It’s with saying that, that I wish nothing but the best of luck to Mindz I after calling out wack-rappers worldwide within the first thirty seconds for not being original enough. So…I […]Read More
Donica Knight – Can’t Buy A Southern Girl – EP Review Who? Who keeps doing this to me? And why? There is a massive price to be paid for honesty – but keep in mind that’s not a part of the cheque that I ever get to see, I just facilitate the process. Someone out […]Read More

It […]Read More
Mike Lepond – Mike Lepond’s Silent Assassins – Album Review I suppose you have to give a guy some credit when they’ve been a part of what has helped shape the metal-genre over time…or, in this case, several people. I had to rub my eyes a little in disbelief over some of the credits that […]Read More
The State School – SloFastSlo – Album Review It’s often been said that music is quite dependent on timing…would reviews follow that same rule I wonder?
