SPACE TAXI – Cheeney Bear And The Spaceman – Album Review All the way from Barecelona, Spain – SPACE TAXI pack a party’s-worth of entertainment into their music.

Violet Cold – Desperate Dreams – Album Review Listening to the intro to Violet Cold’s “Intro: Lonely Universe” sets you up for something truly unique right away. I was listening to the album for the first time late at night…and the forlorn-tones and desolate atmosphere of the beautiful melody in this intro made for one […]Read More
False Pretence – Miss Direction – EP Review Pretty damn interesting music and overall story when you read about & listen to False Pretence. They’ve been kicking all-kinds of ass since roughly 2009 when it all began…started-up the machine and got the rock-beasts in themselves ready for world-domination. From what I gather…it was a sudden-reality […]Read More
Mike Contoni – Start All Over Again – Album Review Singer/Song-writer Mike Contoni officially released his new album Start All Over Again at the end of October just about a month & half ago in 2015. An album that truly has that ‘home-grown’ feel to the writing – Mike’s brand of Americana/Folk/Rock tunes approaches music […]Read More

There’s plenty of reasons why…and we’ll get into them all – “Brooklyn Bridge” is a potential crossover-hit that could appeal to a massive […]Read More
Hemorage – Pariah – Album Review Is it possibly a case of the most extreme misspelling of a band’s name, clever wordplay – or this there some sort of hidden reference to ‘Hemo Rage’ – which is apparently like, some sort of juice-monkey supplement. You know…the ‘not-steroids-but-oh-so-totally-steroids’ kinda stuff. After a listen or two through […]Read More
Suite Journey – TIBET Land Of My Tears – Album Review Alright Suite Journey…I’ll be upfront and honest…I’m in a good mood & headspace writing this review…so I kinda figured I might have an easier time sliding into the fusion-music you make potentially as I started to listen…but I have to admit that the smile […]Read More
Bitter’s Kiss – “Love Won’t Make You Cry” – Single Review Sometimes you just know when you’re running into a future-voice of music. You get that chill on your spine…that tingle that comes from listening to something truly magical and truly special. In the case of Bitter’s Kiss – that magic is supplied by the […]Read More
Weapons Of Minor Disruption – The Shoreline Sessions – EP Review We’ve been on a pretty damn solid hot-streak lately here at the homepage…these speakers of ours have been cranking out some amazing new tunes as of late. And to see that an artist we’ve dealt with in the past through reviews, through our show…a […]Read More
The Drama Dolls – “Control” – Single Review Here’s a highlight! In perhaps the best overall song/performance I’ve heard from The Drama Dolls up to this point in time – I gotta say…definitely seems like they’re not only on the right path but it also sounds like they’re ready to completely blaze their own trail […]Read More
