Hannibal Smith – “Raw” – Single/Video Review I mean… Hannibal…what are you up to here man? How is a dude NOT supposed to like this new song & video of yours? I’m not even kidding…this is the video-equivalent of stacking the deck at your favourite card-game isn’t it? Hannibal Smith’s new song/video “Raw” focuses heavily […]Read More
Dr Ant – “Measure Of My Love” – Single Review I can see/hear that what Dr Ant is doing on his latest single “Measure Of My Love” would be a sound that could potentially catch on with the masses. It’s close to right where it needs to be…there are a few stylistic choices and instincts […]Read More
Tersa Rian – “That Girl” – Single Review Believe it or not…I’m interested in what Tersa Rian is up to. Seems like an incredibly sweet lady with nothing but the most fantastic of intentions; even though it appears after researching into her that she is devoutly religious, you know that doesn’t stop me from checking […]Read More
Boxing The Needle – The Bunker Sessions – EP Review I’m digging on quite a bit about Boxing The Needle…right from the music up to and including the pictures they’ve posted to social-media…these guys genuinely look like FUN. That being said – they also look like they absolutely know what they’re doing as musicians, which […]Read More
Ajia Clark – Finally Ajia – Pre-release Singles Reviewed Quality takes time! Ajia Clark has been testing out waters pretty-warm as she’s been building-up the material for her upcoming album Finally Ajia. Each of these singles…from what I can see with the exception of the third, shiny new-one we’ve got our hands on (and only […]Read More
Joseph Sant – Sea White Salt – EP Review Solid tunes of light, atmospheric, delicate art-rock from Joseph Sant…they’re actually quite involved and intensely interesting throughout his new EP, Sea White Salt. There’s a lo-fi, smooth-indie vibe that runs deep within these four-songs – they’re essentially built on what’s actually cool verses what’s perceived to […]Read More
Nesbeth – “My Dream” – Single Review Tougher one for me…Reggae and I have never really gotten along despite its ever-friendly intentions. That being said, I can tell when an artist or band is getting it ‘right’ in any genre, even the ones outside of my own personal taste. I’m not claiming to have any […]Read More
Christone – “Let Her Go” – Single Review Let’s face it…even a guy like myself that never leaves the music-studio and is basically in a cave when it comes to much of the mainstream these days…you can’t escape a single that was as big as Passenger’s “Let Her Go.” Covers are often a thing we […]Read More
Rebecca Jade – “Weather The Storm” – Single Review Fantastic single from Rebecca Jade! After a brief, static-filled vocal-sample that cleverly drifts into the main synth-piano melody…RJ starts to sing sweetly…with a classic-vibe that goes all the way back to the first confident-female voices to grace the microphone in our music’s history. And as if […]Read More
Jae Havoc – Dark Days x Bright Nights – EP Review You know what makes MY Christmas-season a merry one? Good-ass music – I ain’t askin’ for much. Don’t get me wrong…this is certainly no Christmas album from Jae Havoc – but you might consider this to be an early present for your face-holes this […]Read More
