3MV – “Down To You (GMinor Industrial Mix)” – Single Review Smart idea from 3MV to use a bonus track from the recording sessions of their upcoming album Detours as a lead-in…a warm-up for your musical palette so to speak.

Last Ronin – Incognito – EP Review Glitch-Hop! How has THAT sub-genre of other main-genres eluded me, at least by name, after all these years? That’s really a fantastic term to describe much of what I personally listen to – especially if its true definition is anything close to what Last Ronin is creating – […]Read More
Laura Clare – “Expensive Love” – Single Review There’s pretty much everything working against me on this particular review…please know I’ve done my best to remain objective. Not only is Laura Clare a fantastic singer-songwriter who has definitely got herself a hit-song on her hands with “Expensive Love” but she’s ALSO from my favourite musical-place […]Read More
Against Time – Against Time – EP Review Heavy rock-band from Ottawa, Against Time makes a punishing mix of sludgy guitars, bass & drums – the meat & potatoes to go with the vocals – much like the inventive title to the new EP, this isn’t a band here to build themselves on flash & […]Read More

Jay Jai – Backseat Diary – EP Review Well! Someone ate their Wheaties before hitting the studio didn’t they? Jay Jai’s new EP Backseat Diary is a vibrant mix of pop-music & R&B and right from the opening moments of “Us” comes out crystal-clear and beautifully in the mix right from the drop. Jay Jai […]Read More
Jonwah Actual – “Bounce The Package” – Single Review It has been particularly inspiring to be here over these past three-years, but also in particular over the course of this September here at SBS; we’ve seen a great many of the musicians and bands we first saw & met through our beginning-stages return to us […]Read More
Nobility – Be Safe – Album Review Man (and by man I mean y’all) – I have been looking forward to hearing more from Nobility since we last reviewed his rap-music on the album State Of Mind sometime over a year ago now I figure. This emcee possessed deadly skills and a virtually unmatchable flow […]Read More
