JL Universe – “Y” – Single Review Every once in a while, you just need something that sounds HUGE…you know, those tracks that get your ears excited…music you might not even normally listen to but all of a sudden it’s the exact break and sound you were longing for, but never knew exactly what it […]Read More
Atman – Silence Is Golden – Album Review Let this be a lesson to you all…don’t just check ONE page, check them all! My original experience in listening to Atman came through what I found out to be a mere sampling of the full album on his Soundcloud page – for a moment there…I was […]Read More
Flower Girl – Volume VI – Album Review Great things come in small packages. Like I always say, until you push play or see a listing of track-lengths…you just don’t know if you’re in for an album or an EP. I suppose that’s why I’m here partially…I get to play the role of the spoiler […]Read More
Ced Wynez – The Rebellion – Album Review Luda? Is that you? From the ATL direct, comes a new album stuffed full of low-end beats and aggressive rhymes delivered in a tricky flow, courtesy of Ced Wynez.

Shid Latta – LOVE + OTHERx DRUG$ – Album Review Here’s a production. LOVE + OTHERx DRUG$ isn’t just a brilliant title for an album, it’s a full-out mix of intensity in both rhyme and beat.

Da Challenger – Verbal Canvas Volume 1 I can’t even begin to explain…obviously a LOT of changes around here at the homepage right now…and as beautiful as they all are…that’s a LOT of change for a curmudgeon like me. So let me just say…I was definitely looking to find me some music with a nice […]Read More
Interesting in all sonic-forms, the new album from Zeequil entitled Here is a perfect blend of electro-meets-jazz in all its darkly-melodic glory. From the moment the playfully-rubbery opening track “Rise Up” begins, the textures, tones and subtle-nature of Zeequil begin to hum along together like fine-tuned machinery. Vocalist Lizzie Bradley carries on beautiful, melodies in […]Read More
Wicked stuff. Right off the draw I’m hearing music that reminds me of elements of some fantastic pop/rock/electro bands like Snow Patrol, MGMT…even some R.E.M. thrown in here. This two-piece band is making completely exciting music with intense grooves and fantastic songwriting. And what’s THIS? They’re from my home-away-from-home of Seattle? LOVE IT. Just an […]Read More
