Joseph Sant – Sea White Salt – EP Review Solid tunes of light, atmospheric, delicate art-rock from Joseph Sant…they’re actually quite involved and intensely interesting throughout his new EP, Sea White Salt. There’s a lo-fi, smooth-indie vibe that runs deep within these four-songs – they’re essentially built on what’s actually cool verses what’s perceived to […]Read More
Nesbeth – “My Dream” – Single Review Tougher one for me…Reggae and I have never really gotten along despite its ever-friendly intentions. That being said, I can tell when an artist or band is getting it ‘right’ in any genre, even the ones outside of my own personal taste. I’m not claiming to have any […]Read More
Christone – “Let Her Go” – Single Review Let’s face it…even a guy like myself that never leaves the music-studio and is basically in a cave when it comes to much of the mainstream these days…you can’t escape a single that was as big as Passenger’s “Let Her Go.” Covers are often a thing we […]Read More
Rebecca Jade – “Weather The Storm” – Single Review Fantastic single from Rebecca Jade! After a brief, static-filled vocal-sample that cleverly drifts into the main synth-piano melody…RJ starts to sing sweetly…with a classic-vibe that goes all the way back to the first confident-female voices to grace the microphone in our music’s history. And as if […]Read More
Jae Havoc – Dark Days x Bright Nights – EP Review You know what makes MY Christmas-season a merry one? Good-ass music – I ain’t askin’ for much. Don’t get me wrong…this is certainly no Christmas album from Jae Havoc – but you might consider this to be an early present for your face-holes this […]Read More
Cypher The Avatar – NO MÁS – EP Review Cypher The Avatar…from what I’ve known, read, researched and heard about this dude since being introduced to the sound, music & style of this emcee about eight months ago was that this particular poet was walking alongside a whole different beat in life than the rest […]Read More
Chrystyna Marie – Loaded Gun – EP Review Really classic sound of confidence and bold-tones from Chrystyna Marie, singer/song-writer based out of Beverley Hills, CA. Originally from Toronto…we had her at one point fellow-Canadians…after hearing her smooth-rock/blues vocals and the fearless approach she takes to her performances…well-o-well-O-Canada…what can I say aside we might regret losing […]Read More
Boy From The Crowd – Where The Bees Come To Die – EP Review You’ll find a pretty tight & addicting rhythm & groove on Where The Bees Come To Die, the latest EP from Boy From The Crowd. Ranging from extreme-rock to all-out frenzied music-madness – this is a two-piece that goes straight for […]Read More
Mleo – “Ridiculous” – Single Review Absolutely a memorable moment in time from Mleo…I’m loving this new single “Ridiculous” – this is entirely rad throughout its every second. From the west-coast & based out of Sacremento & L.A. – I bet you’ll hear what I’m hearing here in this single; these four deserve an incredible […]Read More
Twizzie – To Destroy Something Beautiful – Album Review Smart stuff from Twizzie…there was something impressive about the flow immediately found upon the new album To Destroy Something Beautiful as the first track “Party In My Name” came busting through the speakers. It might have been the lyrical content…the subject itself…I was digging the posthumous […]Read More
