Sasha Leonov – Skies Change – Album Review It wasn’t that long ago that I felt I recorded my own music in a similar fashion to what Sasha Leonov is here on Skies Change. I made music that I believed in, was passionate about, I even think they were good songs! But at the end […]Read More

With brand-new music now out for public consumption, this five-piece band is making some major waves out there online and have already picked up several positive reviews in their favour as the buzz behind this […]Read More
Once Were Ghosts – Ephemeral Crises – Album Review Post-rock alert! Something about the name of Once Were Ghosts screamed out post-rock to me and I was completely stoked to discover that was exactly what I was in for today in listening to the new album Ephemeral Crises. Perhaps my favourite genre if you were […]Read More
Luke Gartner-Brereton – Ronroco Dreaming – Album Review Beautiful melodies and guitar here on this new album from Brisbane Australia’s Luke Gartner-Brereton, played with real heart, skill and compelling passion.

Árstíðir – Hvel – Album Review Is it strange that I can identify the Iceland sound? Between the character-placement of the band/album name and the overall tone and assembly of the music, I was left with little to no doubt that Árstíðir was coming to us from this beautiful still-fairly-untouched music-mecca. Turns out that yes, […]Read More
Liz Graham – “Damaged” & “Charcoal On A Canvas” – Singles Review Here are a catchy couple of tunes! I’ll fully admit that I had to look up Liz Graham right away to find out where the music was exactly coming from, and perhaps what her own background might be. As it turns out, she’s […]Read More
Human Behavior – Bethphage – Album Review I think it was pretty close to a year ago at this time when I first landed my ears upon Human Behavior when reviewing their album Golgotha. After the unique experience diving deep into their diverse & versatile music, this Tucson, AZ based band has managed to stick […]Read More
Joy Villa – I Make The Static – EP Review Joy! So…first off…I can go on the luckiest streaks of listening sometimes that it’s not even funny; it’s more like a confirmation of being in the place where I’m truly supposed to be, doing what I’m truly supposed to be doing. Now…I’m not staring at […]Read More
