Marcus Christ – “No Doubt” – Single Review From his album entitled Return Of The Beast, Marcus Christ has released “No Doubt” as a lead-single from the record to put this clever hip-hop artist on the map. Will it work? That’s the question right? There are many legitimate ways that I think this could. Despite […]Read More
TKO – Moving Out – Album Review It has been a wonderful second-half of 2015. The latter part of this year was a real indication and measurement for some of the impact we’ve made over the past three years doing what we do; we’ve seen many of the bands/artists from as early as our first-days […]Read More
Apollo Veritas – The Nightmares & Daydreams EP – EP Review There is one wicked fire burning inside of this emcee…one that definitely understands the art of ‘the hook’ and how to use it effectively. Apollo Veritas is definitely the kind of Hip-Hop/Rap that I look forward to – innovative beats, fresh rhymes…and you know…skills […]Read More
Erin & Evan – That Time Of Year – EP Review T’was the night before the review, and all throughout the studio not a creature (besides myself) was stirring…not even an Erin or an Evan, not even a mouse. So…okay…whatever – my ability to rhyme sucks – but I still remember to greet people when […]Read More
For All Recorded Time – For All Recorded Time – Pre-Release Demo EP Review Well shit! I didn’t know we had Tulare County’s best rock & roll on our hands today – but apparently we do in the world according to Facebook. I’ll put it this way…so far as I know, they ARE the uncontested […]Read More
Sheik – “The Breather” – Single Review Been pretty fortunate lately to have been revealing some pretty killer & innovative hip-hop as of late; mind you…some of it’s been spent behind the scenes in a few video-interviews…but let me tell ya – the wordsmiths are out there right now…and they’re ready to claim their spot […]Read More
SPACE TAXI – Cheeney Bear And The Spaceman – Album Review All the way from Barecelona, Spain – SPACE TAXI pack a party’s-worth of entertainment into their music. A wild, exotic blend of folk/rock that really moves and shifts through several directions & sounds…there’s a genuinely copious amount of fun stoking the fire of SPACE […]Read More
Violet Cold – Desperate Dreams – Album Review Listening to the intro to Violet Cold’s “Intro: Lonely Universe” sets you up for something truly unique right away. I was listening to the album for the first time late at night…and the forlorn-tones and desolate atmosphere of the beautiful melody in this intro made for one […]Read More
False Pretence – Miss Direction – EP Review Pretty damn interesting music and overall story when you read about & listen to False Pretence. They’ve been kicking all-kinds of ass since roughly 2009 when it all began…started-up the machine and got the rock-beasts in themselves ready for world-domination. From what I gather…it was a sudden-reality […]Read More
Mike Contoni – Start All Over Again – Album Review Singer/Song-writer Mike Contoni officially released his new album Start All Over Again at the end of October just about a month & half ago in 2015. An album that truly has that ‘home-grown’ feel to the writing – Mike’s brand of Americana/Folk/Rock tunes approaches music […]Read More
