Walrus Tales – AE – EP Review Exciting! We’ve been digging on the sound of Walrus Tales since first hearing them way, way, way back about twenty or so days ago when reviewing their single “Matchsticks” in collaboration with Planet V! In behind the scenes here at the studio, it’s developed into even more…we had […]Read More
michellesotrill – “Dynamite” – Single Review Pretty easy to fall in love with michellesotrill’s new-single “Dynamite” – surprisingly easy though for a guy like me that normally listens to music outside the pop & R&B genres. Comes with the territory of being a music-journalist…well, at least I like to think so; the good ones out […]Read More
Troy Lindsey – “It’s Not Your Fault” – Single Review As I’ve often mentioned here at sleepingbag – it’s always interesting to see & hear what people find themselves compelled to write about. Life is such a short and ridiculous thing, that short of being the Rolling Stones or U2, the chances of even making […]Read More
Bruce Lev – “Jessica” (Feat. Juice Lucafo) – Single Review The Soundcloud write-up for this song is actually pretty interesting when you break it all down. The first thing you might notice is the outright confidence in this laid-back adult-contemporary track’s statement “FYC – “Jessica” will appear in the best “Arrangement, Instruments & Vocals” category.” […]Read More
ChantiMan – “FanTasy Fog” – Single Review Even from here in Canada, just by turning on the latest single released from ChantiMan will prove quickly that this guy feels the vibe way over the water in Belfast; doesn’t matter how much distance is between us, you can hear his enthusiasm, energy and excitement clearly in […]Read More
Sam Cosby – The Book Of My Heart (Circa 1988 – 2015) – Album Review Reading the story regarding the making of this album before even having a listen had an immediate impact on me. Knowing that much of this material caused its creator, Sam Cosby, to really take a moment, or in some cases […]Read More
Danitto Kruz – “Temptation” Feat. Santiago Cercavins – Single Review Give this dude a round of applause and some real credit for finding a song that damn-near blends just about every genre into one on the new single, “Temptation” from Danitto Kruz! There’s absolutely nothing not to like about this boundary-defying new tune…genuinely loved it […]Read More
Ted West – True West – Album Review I’m being targeted right? After all the comments I’ve made throughout the past two years about how the world certainly needs no more songs where “California” is the subject matter…there’s no way that Ted made it here by accident right? I mean…someone’s punk’ing me right? The very […]Read More
Caloe – Graham Crackers & Applesauce – EP Review Strange…whomever submitted this for release is not all that familiar with the actual EP! And I quote – “My EP is only 3 Songs.” It’s always nice to chat with people isn’t it? There’s actual a couple references to there being only three songs on the […]Read More
