Natt Moore – “March Of The Beasts” / “Lament” – Singles Review If you were staring out at the practically post-apocalyptic scenes that I am from my window after finally having winter remind us of what it’s capable of here in Canada, you’d know that putting on “March Of The Beasts” by Natt Moore sounded […]Read More
Valley Of Salt – Voice Of One Crying In The Wilderness – Album Review Heck yeah, I’m interested! And what else could you possibly hope for when you push play on a debut album, right? As the rumble of “The Love Of God Is All Around Us” settled into place, and we get our first […]Read More
PHI-108 – Solve For Why – Album Review “Each lyric is a profound reflection…” Whoa, whoa, whoa…hold up & slow down compadres – that’s for us to decide, tyvm! Alright…I’ll be real with ya though, they do make a pretty good case to support that statement you’ll find in their bio. Would I put that […]Read More
Bobby Wizdum – “By The Moonlight” (Dancehall Mix) / “Steer The Wheel” – Singles Review Alrighty…we’ve got a couple of samples coming off of Bobby Wizdum’s album called Before Your Eyes. And what exactly do I think about these tracks? Hmmmmmmmm. Good question! So…okay…I think I’m about to go with the ‘less is more’ theory. […]Read More

DocFell & Co. – Frequencies And Vibrations – Album Review That’s a pretty steady clip there DocFell & Co. – Frequencies And Vibrations is the 5th studio album from the band in about nine years or so…a mighty impressive average of 1.8 years for every record, nice work. Even if “Summer’s Gone,” and I’m writing […]Read More
Carquake – Shit’s Fucked – EP Review More than five years ago, when I started listening to a band called Lounge Act Jam, I knew I was listening to something severely special in the music Alan Yang was making. He’d go on to make more of it, which only confirmed I was right, and then […]Read More
mentalEscape – Big Bang – Album Review Hellllllllll yeah! I ain’t gonna lie, I get super apprehensive when I get two records submitted in fairly close two, and even more-so when I really dig the first one I end up reviewing. Similarly as to how it’s practically impossible to follow your best song on an […]Read More
Jah-Femi Telewa – “Swollen Beast” / “GOOD Man” – Singles Review For sure, I’m interested. I’ll tell you this with complete certainty though…I don’t think in my twenty-five years of music journalism that I’ve ever come across a song that’s barely over ninety-seconds in total length that comes with like, two pages of information to […]Read More
Zimmira – “Tik Tock” – Single Review Pop and its many sub-genres has definitely been enjoying a very strong start to 2025 so far. Add Zimmira to the growing list of artists contributing to that – I really dig what I’m hearing on her brand-new single “Tik Tock.” She has an absolutely stellar voice, radiates […]Read More
