Hookman & The Ripper – Hookman & The Ripper Volume 1 – Album Preview Keep in mind, an album preview process is much, much different than your typical A-to-Z album review where you hit play and let the songs play out. In a preview situation, such as the one here today with Hookman & The Ripper, […]Read More
Seashaped – A Pill For Everything – Album Review Inoffensive! At least that was the first thing that came to mind when pushing play on the Seashaped album! You know what I mean though? It’s…pleasant! Music that I can’t see anyone ever frantically running over to a stereo to turn down the sound on…yeah – that’s what I’m […]Read More
Aaron Baldes – Horizons – Album Review Ahhhhh…..music! Food for the soul – that’s what “they” say isn’t it? And much like your diet or what you might like to throw into your pie-hole year after year, those tastes can change & grow and become more expanded and accepting over time. We should never have to be […]Read More
Sky As Skin – Dead Songs For A Live Soul – Album Review This excites me greatly. As a long-standing fan of heavy/melodic bands, finding Sky As Skin as assembled and ready to rock as they are on this new album shouldn’t have been as much as a surprise as it was. According to them, this […]Read More
Ain’t No Other – Never Really Broke – Album Review Here’s the straight-up in one single sentence; I would be a way bigger fan of the entire rap genre if it was all as entertaining as this album is. Ain’t No Other has had me paying attention non-stop since I pushed play on Never Really […]Read More
Sprightly Moans – Demos III – EP Review I feel like I almost need to give my head a shake here… Sprightly Moans – it’s almost like I couldn’t HEAR you last time! You know…like how in White Man Can’t Jump that dude could “listen to Jimi,” but he couldn’t HEAR Jimi…that’s the kind of feeling […]Read More
Sin Twister – Sin Twister – Album Review Yep – I can be the bigger man here…I can admit when I’m stumped. With as many traditional influences from rock & metal past can still be found prevalently all throughout this album – the sheer uniqueness of the vocals of Sin Twister are…not “throwing me off” necessarily, but […]Read More
The Hawthornes – More Than Eyes Can See – Album Review Meet The Hawthornes! Through their debut album More Than Eyes Can See, I’ve just been able to discover them recently as well – you’re not that far behind at all! Push play and let’s examine this first full length effort from The Hawthornes. And if you […]Read More
Utuvis – Pathogenic Symphonic – Album Review Awesome, is probably a great place to start… I’ve always been a huge fan of dark electronic soundscapes, and as many of you already know, I’m also a gigantic fan of melody in music, no matter the genre. Utuvis has found a comfortable place in this rare combination, maximizing […]Read More
Marga Lane – Expressions – EP Review Well, it’s close enough to Valentine’s Day, so I’m heading into the straight up club-pop section to find me something to love! This particular V-Day of 2014, it just so happens that’s coming to us from Marga Lane – a deeply skilled and tremendous songwriter based in L.A. Understand […]Read More
