A. Armstrong – Retrolution – Album Review Aside from Microsoft Word not wanting to allow me to write A. Armstrong in the title without it attempting to indent and re-space the name to A. Armstrong – there’s been no struggle at all in listening to this record and typing the review. Not going to lie […]Read More
The Gangsta Rabbi – Quadrophenia – Album Review The last interaction we had with The Gangsta Rabbi was one that uncovered a lot of truth. Steve Lieberman, the brainchild behind the music, also revealed that he’d been diagnosed with terminal Leukemia…and though that’s certainly tragic – he also revealed the strength he possesses when it […]Read More
Racing On The Sun – “We Are Not Afraid” – Single Review You wanna know a great way to start off a new experience with a band? When they tell you they ‘just have this new-single out’ – my experience with a understated statement like this is always the indication of a band that’s humble, […]Read More
L.A. Knights – Psychoanalyze – EP Review There’s always going to be a market and an audience for big-anthem, riff-fueled, Rock-music – and as it turns out, looks like we’ve found one of its latest suppliers through the tunes of L.A. Knights and their new Psychoanalyze EP. While that audience for Hard-Rock and Metal isn’t […]Read More
You gotta love it when you just happen to glance up at the ol’ playlist and it reveals something of interest! Apparently I’m about to embark upon listening to a pre-labeled ‘Club Banger’ – who knew I’d be spending the earliest parts of my morning in such musical diversity…we’ve already been through Funk, R&B, Rock, […]Read More
Flaunt – “Jungle” – Single Review Well now! Somebody woke this band up! Flaunt’s new single “Jungle” is a wicked composition. Full of smartly controlled-chaos in a musical-style almost similar to Thom Yorke’s solo-work, Flaunt quickly separates themselves from that potential direction by taking “Jungle” into a truly soaring, anthem-esque atmosphere. Solid melody, but most […]Read More
Charlie Funk – Give Me A Groove – EP Review I’d wager a bet that our man Charlie Funk is onto something here with his new EP, Give Me A Groove; I mean…hell, I’d give him one myself if I thought he could possibly use any more than he’s already got in him! He’s written […]Read More
Keith Richie – Skylines – Album Review You might be surprised to hear it…but there are actually quite a few ways that I enjoy waking up in the morning. For instance…I got up today thinking there was a strong chance it was Thursday, only to eventually discover it’s actually Sunday – and I like that…I […]Read More
Spoken Life – Reality – EP Review Solid progression, heavy atmospheres and emotions outline the new EP from Spoken Life, a one-man project from Anthony Irvin based out of Brookhaven, PA. You’ll find yourselves surprised at the direction that the music takes…it starts out with a bright, electro-infused, gentle-melody that’s close to an Owl City […]Read More
Andy Goggin & Nanna Larsen – “Watch Out” – Single Review Wouldn’t you know it…just as soon as I declared we’re officially back, up and running and officially rooted into our new studio setup in Ottawa that the main computer decided to chuck its operating system overnight for the universe to leave me scrambling once […]Read More
