Airy Jeanine – “Mama’s Girl” – Single Review Okay…wait…whaaaaaaaaat? This bearded-chin of mine isn’t supposed to give in so easily to the electronic-pop & R&B genres – but I’m honestly loving this new single from Airy Jeanine. I feel like the rock-side of my personality should be putting up much more of a fight than […]Read More
This Is A Joke Please Be Offended! – X Marks The Spot – Album Review If I didn’t live just outside Vancouver, BC…chances are this might have been a joke to me!

Zero Verdict – Walk Tall – Album Review I’ve known about the music of Zero Verdict for some time now…wasn’t too long ago that I reviewed the lead-single from this very album, Walk Tall, called “Train” in fact.
