Bud Summers – The Way – Album Review Ya gotta love this…definitely the sound of a man that knows what he’s doing here on The Way by Bud Summers. With a solid groove established in jazz/blues-infused rock, his rhythms on this album sound natural, honest & professional all at the same time. It’s outside of […]Read More
Neighborhood Goliath – Between Satellites & Settling – EP Review Following one of the best nights of live-music I’ve seen in Vancouver in years, it’s a good thing I listen to as much of this music as I can before writing these reviews…I knew exactly which EP to turn today. I needed something solid that […]Read More
Cirex – “Money Magnet” – Single Review Mathematical music-hero Cirex is back on our pages with a brand-new set of broken-electro fragments all pieced together with the skill of a surgeon on his latest “Money Magnet.” In my humble opinion…I’ve watched as the evolution of Cirex has grown over time…and I’ve listened to his complex […]Read More
Russell Suereth – Spiritual Haven – Album Review I’ve always got time for music like this and so rarely get the chance to sit, relax & enjoy without thinking about the business-side of life at the same time.

Gold Wolf – Gold Wolf – EP Review Sometimes you hear a sound of a band that comes out gunning so professionally that it just makes sense to the brain that one day you won’t be the only one hearing what you’ve just heard. I got that feeling about twenty-five seconds in when the bass, […]Read More
D-mac – “Siverour” – Single Review It’s official…rapper D-mac has got me stumped with the title of this track. I scoured my memory…I googled it…hell, I even asked the cool-kids what the heck that word might be, hoping that they might know it as some slang of today…but I came up short on every attempt […]Read More
Dylan Sesco – Good Villain – EP Review From Vertlife Entertainment, rap-artist Dylan Sesco comes out swinging on the Good Villain EP with six new songs in a darker-vein produced in follow-up to a project that took place earlier on called Pacific Coast Pharoah. Musically and lyrically, it does find a gritty, late-night-back-alley, dangerous vibe […]Read More
