Marcelo Camela – Praise And Strings – Album Review Well now! If we haven’t stumbled upon a 25 year-old guitar virtuoso today in review with Marcelo Camela…then I’ve got no real idea about anything I’m doing here; this is truly exceptional talent radiating from this record – it would be impossible not to notice how […]Read More
3 Geminis – 3 Geminis – EP Review You gotta hand it to 3 Geminis…there’s only a little bit of information out there in comparison to how far these songs have already traveled. From what I understand, the band is a one-man army of sorts, all stemming from the musical-mind of one Fred Carrico. If […]Read More
IIOIOIOII – Post Brimstone – EP Review Definitely some excellent moments in sound on this new EP, Post Brimstone…there are a few slight-stumbles as well…but for the better part of this new recording I felt my attention stay right with the rhythms, energy and melodies of electro-artist Christopher Gurney making music as IIOIOIOII. I found […]Read More
Atomzero – Velocity – EP Review With a storming sound built on a combination that blends industrial & electro with authority and straight-to-yer-face big-beat, low-end-heavy tunes – Atomzero is certainly making no attempt whatsoever to remain a secret on this latest EP, Velocity. Massively processed & produced, dynamic sounds come bouncing from the lefts & […]Read More
Ben Lorentzen – America – EP Review One-man revolution, Ben Lorentzen, has just released the America EP into the world for all to hear. We’re Canadian-based…so we’ll see if we can simply hide under the umbrella of North America and see if we can relate to Ben’s music here today as we review his latest […]Read More
Tom Rhodes – With Or Without – Album Review You can tell what a professional Tom Rhodes is from the minute that With Or Without begins – and as the album plays that approach never wavers. If you’re a fan of the pure & true song-writer…music with real soul involved in its making…you’re going to […]Read More
Raelism – Back To The Battlefield – EP Review A rad dose of the ultra-cool from the electro-world of Raelism. Meeting somewhere in the land between videogame themes and modern-day electro, this innovative glitchologist has created some pretty intense compositions here on Back To The Battlefield, an EP chockfull of innovative beats, smart samples and […]Read More
Kimia Penton – Lessons From Life And Love – EP Review It doesn’t even take a minute into the first song “My Kind Of Love” before you can hear the professional, confident approach to music that Kimia Penton has. On her new EP, she examines the Lessons From Life And Love among beautiful rhythms and […]Read More
J Burn – Burnt Blue – EP Review San Francisco’s J Burn has one of those off-kilter combinations of Americana/Folk/Indie/Country/Rock that’s bound to throw you a little even despite their smooth-sound. As the Burnt Blue EP began, it was almost set for an all-ages type-feel…something about “Freight Train” made me feel as if I was […]Read More
Garth Adam – “This Time” – Single Review I’m a firm believer that our world turns because of melodies and moments like this one from Garth Adam. With his new single “This Time,” I’d be the last to say that this song is unique entirely…but for a brief moment here, I kinda want to examine […]Read More
