The Naddiks – “Heart Of Fire”/”Stop.Listen&Love” – Singles Reviewed While there would be no denying that there are some rough-edges surrounding the music of The Naddiks…I’d also be willing to argue against anyone telling me there’s not something special happening in the music of this band. With two-songs written powerfully using gigantic dynamics to bring […]Read More

Suede Jenkins – F.I.L.O.D. – Album Review Abbreviated down to F.I.L.O.D. – I’m gonna spell it out for you…because I think the title represents an important aspect of Suede Jenkins…the expanded title would read Fall In Love Or Die.

Carly Van Skaik – Carly Van Skaik – EP Review I’ve pretty much always got time of day for a sound like Carly’s.

Jake Aldridge – “Give You The World” – Single Review Not too much debate about the world-region you’d find Jake Aldridge in after hearing the infamous UK-accent as he starts into the first verse of his brand-new single “Give You The World.” Not really sure if even I could put my finger on exactly what […]Read More
