Betweenzone – “Strong!” / “Cross The Line” – Singles Review Always great to have these guys back in the mix. You never really know which version of Betweenzone you’re gonna get when they show up again, it’s kind of been one of the great mysteries of life in the music scene really. From the time […]Read More
Fred Vanterra – “Gold” – Single Review While it might have been a while since the last time we reviewed Fred Vanterra’s music here on our pages, you can rest assured the man has still kept plenty busy. Apparently, from what I gather, he and his company of Vanterra Arts have been keeping busy diving […]Read More
G Clef Fusion – Geryon Claque Fermata – Album Review “The third full length album release by G Clef Fusion, is slightly more contemplative than previous releases and has man, many subtle and obvious references to three, multiple dimension perspectives, suggestion that things are not always what they seem and/or musical triplets and groupings of […]Read More
Les Fradkin – “Hurricane Warning” / “12 Strings Of Joy” – Singles Review With a flurry of synthesizers, “Hurricane Warning” gets this two-track split-single moving quickly. Akin to the kind of stuff you’d have once heard as the soundtrack playing as K.I.T.T. roared down the highway to catch the bad guys in some Knight Rider […]Read More
The Villaineers – The Villain Years – EP Review “We’re called The Villaineers.” “Huh? What’s that? The Villain Years?” “No. I said The VILLAINEERS.” “Yeah, that’s what I said, The Villain Years!” “Christ. NO! I said the…ugh…never mind.” At least, that’s how I imagine the name of this EP got created…I have no definitive proof […]Read More
Catlea – Bones – EP Review Believe me when I tell ya, I’ve seen the numbers…the last thing that Catlea needs from me is any kind of confirmation – this lady is already a bona fide world superstar in the making y’all! She’s recently dropped the Bones EP, which is comprised of three pre-released singles […]Read More
Betty’s Parish – “Palm Springs” – Single Review Hmmmmmm… That’s kind of the thing about fireworks ain’t it? They only ever last for a short time. I’m desperately trying to figure this song out and if I’m getting enough of the killer intensity the chorus of this song has. So let’s see here…Betty’s Parish…workin’ on […]Read More
Music With Michele – “Gordon Blues” – Single Review Pfffff. I can’t eat this! I got all excited there for a second or two. Way back when I was a young lad, back before there were buildings, the first meal I can ever recall eating in a restaurant was cordon bleu. To this very day, […]Read More
Continua – “The Beauty Of Letting Go” / “Underrated” – Singles Review “The Beauty Of Letting Go” is honestly quite an interesting choice to have put out there as a single…it’s got a fairly anti-typical design to what we tend to associate with tracks that can often be the gateway into the rest of the […]Read More
t dot est – MAD – Album Review I suppose the question is – is it possible that MAD could be better than the MAGICICADA EP? Anything is possible, even if it seems improbable, right? I already felt like that was one of the better records I heard in 2024 after reviewing the set of […]Read More
