Antone – V2.5 – Album Review The internet is such a powerfully understated tool for music, even with as many of us being online as we are. So is timing, as ‘they’ continue to tell us…that much of our destiny when it comes to music exists on a timeline beyond our control which we may/may […]Read More
Snoop Dukk & MCW – Back In The House – EP Review You know…sometimes I swear…one of these days someone out there I know is going to attempt to ‘punk’ me with something that is going to sound very similar to this. If it wasn’t for some pretty damn spectacular ideas here…I might have assumed […]Read More
Vince LuPone – Embers Of Ares – Album Review This comes straight at you instantly. Madly intense drumbeats come flying out, guitar scales and solo-work instantly leaps out hard from your speakers; and with perfect precision, Embers Of Ares starts off with an explosion of a song in “Panic.” This is progressively edged rock/metal made […]Read More
Custom – Flat Out Fast – Album Review For those of you hoping that this was the mid-90’s laid-back band known as Custom…move yourselves along please…laid-back is definitely not the case on Flat Out Fast, the new album from Seattle’s version of Custom, born over a decade ago in the middle of 2002. Keep in […]Read More
Pyramids On Mars – “Battle For Rome” – Single Review Well…I mean all I’m saying is you just go ahead and TRY to find me music that sounds more like pyramids on Mars than Pyramids On Mars do! I’m also fully willing to admit I’ve never really heard the sounds of ANY pyramid before…or seen […]Read More
The Jimi Newton Project – 3.0: Uptown Funk – Album Review The first and most immediate reaction I had to the opening track “Make A Better Place” and sounds of The Jimi Newton Project resulted in a massive smile across my face. What a pleasant and moving sound; it’s a soft-side funk/electro with a heavy […]Read More
Andres And Sean – Pack & Go – Album Review This could very potentially be something here. With a completely excellent subtle-melody-driven sound, the music of Andres And Sean really create a rich texture and atmosphere. The result is a dense musical landscape, full of great ideas and executed artistically throughout the album Pack & […]Read More
D-Harmany – Us – Album Review Music can be so interestingly-specific sometimes. When you think about it…we all more or less write about what we write about…we find our comfortable spot with the themes we know and live within the context & subtext of it all. The guy that writes about ‘chics and cars’ will […]Read More
Mercy Choir – Two Machines In The Garden – Album Review Alright…so…Mercy Choir… What I can tell you right away…is that this is NOT a club-beat of any kind. I can tell you this is NOT the dance music to get your grandmother up and out of her chair unexpectedly after five years. I can […]Read More
Stonebelly – Perspectives & Perceptions – Album Review Looks like we’re in some exotic flavour in the music this morning! Stonebelly is an interesting musical entity; blending all kinds of styles on the fringe of rock, this exciting band has put together a serious display of tight-skills here on Perspectives & Perceptions. Opening with a […]Read More
