STV – SOS – Album Review No pressure here STV…but it’s my birthday…so…know that I’m going into this with the expectation you’ll make it a happy one for me! Not that I’d necessarily expect the subject matter, moods or atmospheres to necessarily be laden with joy…not when it comes to the emotional-textures you’ll find in […]Read More
Howard Louis – Having Stung Moves On… – Album Review For grooves so subtly-woven…you’ll be impressed at the amount of hooks Howard Louis has found here on his new album Having Stung Moves On… Smart writing and clever melodies make themselves known on this acoustically-driven, folk-laden, storytelling set of songs; Howard is clearly a writer […]Read More
Kenny Fame – Goodbye… – EP Review Kenny Fame! WHAT sir…is your excuse? I have been expecting you since the moment the clocks & calendars turned over to 2016…like, 12:01 new Kenny Fame instantly kinda-thing…you’re LATE Kenny! For those of you that aren’t familiar with our consistent reviews on this one-man-music-factory…you’ll have to catch-up quickly…there’s […]Read More
Unravels Slowly – “Signal Flare” – Single Review It’s rare…you probably wouldn’t think it happens all that often here at sleepingbagstudios…but sometimes the volume actually does get turned down. I can’t quite explain how this tragic event occurs, there’s almost never a reason I could think that would justify the actionable offense of turning the […]Read More
SO – Echo Park – EP Review Artistically-twisted Hip-Hop? Did I just create a new genre category? If I did just now, I don’t really deserve the credit…SO does for putting that conclusion into my brain after taking in the Echo Park EP – a record so full of unexpected ideas, performances and music that […]Read More
The Valium – “In My Life” – Single Review In our modern-day search to go ‘viral’ as human-beings…one of the emerging official methods is to appeal to a celebrity direct…you can find a recent example from the Rockin’ 1000 and their plea to Dave Grohl and the Foo Fighters to come play a live show […]Read More
Mario Petrix – “Electro World” – Single Review Well I’ve really kind of covered the map as far as singles have been concerned tonight! Ranging from acoustic-music, to rap…and now here to a bold-electro rhythm & groove all the way from Italy with Mario Petrix’s new single from the very beginning of 2016, “Electro World.” […]Read More
Hz – “Bad Guy” Feat. BrooklynxHippie – Single Review Certainly. I can get behind this. The idea of encouraging someone starting out as young as Hz in the rap-game is definitely something that I can support; that being said the skills, ability and talent need to at least show themselves in order to be able […]Read More
Silent Stranger – “Something About A Dream (Acoustic)” – Single Review Whoa! I’m gonna start this review by at the very least assuming that the 53,211 fans supporting the music of Silent Stranger couldn’t all be wrong and can’t all be related. I know I’ve earned your respect through our honest reviews here at sleepingbagstudios…but […]Read More
Colorworks – Joyla Red – EP Review Is it just me or is our homepage looking more colorful than normal? Not only is it full of US-spellings…but Color(insert here) seems to be a thing right now…no one told me in advance this was a thing…but it definitely seems like it’s a thing, doesn’t it? I […]Read More
