Ted West – True West – Album Review I’m being targeted right? After all the comments I’ve made throughout the past two years about how the world certainly needs no more songs where “California” is the subject matter…there’s no way that Ted made it here by accident right? I mean…someone’s punk’ing me right? The very […]Read More
Caloe – Graham Crackers & Applesauce – EP Review Strange…whomever submitted this for release is not all that familiar with the actual EP! And I quote – “My EP is only 3 Songs.” It’s always nice to chat with people isn’t it? There’s actual a couple references to there being only three songs on the […]Read More
Jackslacks – Invisible – EP Review Ha! Could you possibly not enjoy yourself when Jackslacks is playing? Apparently this is an annual tradition for this roots-rockin’ Southern Californian song-writer, this whole puttin’ out new tunes thang…I can dig that. This year, where we join in and become a part of the Jackslacks journey, we’ve got […]Read More

STV – VCR – Album Review Right on…I like dealing with people that have some SENSE!

Steve Nick – “The Shadow Of Your Eyes” – Single Review You can say all you like about any artist or band’s music as a music-journalist…but the bottom-line is 99% of those of us out there still want to BE the musicians that we write about – and that’s no matter if the sounds we’re […]Read More
Jas Patrick – Inky Ovine – EP Review Ahhh…blues-infused rock, could there be a more illegitimate genre at times? I’m just saying, not defending, but if Robbie Williams can get himself and Pharrell Williams sued over “Good Times” then how the entire blues-rock industry doesn’t feed off each other in the courtroom for the licks, […]Read More
J.P. Edwards – Hearticulate – EP Review J.P. Edwards…dude…I’ll assume I’ve gotta say this with a little caution given that you’re based in the man’s-man state of Texas…but you’ve definitely caught my heart right up in this new EP of yours. I’ve been extremely lucky throughout September and already again in October – some of […]Read More
Radio Drive – “A Taste Of Heaven”/”Humanity” – Singles Review Boy oh boy! It’s a darn good thing I really like the songs & sounds of Radio Drive or I’d probably be more upset about the crazy path you gotta take to get to the music! The two newest singles, “A Taste Of Heaven” and […]Read More
Misha Kolesoski – The Catacomb Suburbs – Album Review So…well…you’re not often going to stumble across something as unique in its intention as this is. Misha Kolesoski’s new album, The Catacomb Suburbs, is the musical retelling of what is widely believed to be the very first gothic novel…dating back to 1764 and called The Castle […]Read More
