Souleye – Identified Time – EP Review Something about the music of Souleye is very familiar to me…I mean, I’d kick myself hard if this is where I discover I’m old now and losing a grip on my memory’s ability to remember our past experiences here at sleepingbagstudios…but I don’t think that’s it necessarily. I […]Read More
Matthew Morgan – Empathy For Inanimate Objects – EP Review Oddly enough, Matthew Morgan and I have something strange in common! My brother’s name is actually Mathew Morgan as well – just one less T…how bizarre is that? So, completely due to his gentle approach and a melodic acoustic pop/folk sound, I hereby dub the […]Read More
Yooda – Latent Status – Album Review One might think that the last thing someone would want would be a crusty old white dude like me that looks like a garden gnome 10/12th’s of the year to understand everything about where they’re coming from in their music. Heartbreak…sure, I can relate. The struggle to become […]Read More

Matt Byron – Next Time I’ll Know – EP Review The opening track of Matt Byron’s new EP Next Time I’ll Know, “Sleep & Dream Of Monsters,” reminded me instantly of the hearing the debut album from Orgy…somewhat of the lo-fi Nine Inch Nails as well opening into Pretty Hate Machine back in the day. […]Read More
Rico Jeezus – A Misanthropist Heaven – EP Review You know what I appreciate? Something NEW. My own work & writing included – independent music journalism…hell, even mainstream writers too…we all jump to words like new, unique, authentic, genuine when describing an artist or band’s sound – but it’s truly rare that we find those […]Read More
N0va – Whip Sessions – Album Review Canadian solo-artist N0va demonstrates the free-spirited attitude the country is famous for on an album filled with good-times from the old-school to the new on his latest album Whip Sessions.
