Swami Lushbeard – A Burning Desire – EP Review This music takes you on an incredible sonic journey. I had very high hopes from the moment my chia-pet-resembling face was contacted by this band in review – Swami Lushbeard! Could it be the hand of fate steering another brilliant album towards my hairy chin? After listening – […]Read More
Velvet Symphony – Counter Clockwise – Album Review It’s only fitting that we end up posting this album on Father’s Day. My immediate first impression upon pressing play was one of, ‘Wow – was I EVER raised on this kind of music!’ The opening track reminded me very much of something that Joe Satriani would have put […]Read More
Lizzy Lehman – A Place I Know You’ll Love – Album Review Musically, when you’re authentic, it’s impossible to hide. I’ve expressed in the past how much of a gift it is to listen to all of your music, starting each and every morning with a completely new and unique experience for my ears. Pressing play has […]Read More
Morning Fame – Back & Forth + Cast Away – Album Review I cheated. I always start at the beginning when doing an album review – I didn’t this time…I’ll admit it… It’s certainly not because I don’t like the track – I’m a huge fan of the opening track from Morning Fame on this […]Read More
The Great Airport Mystery – The Great Spaceport Mystery – Album Review I thrive on multiple sounds and franticness in music when I’m not in a steady diet of acoustic music. I like music that can be challenging to the ear and make me listen for the difficulty in the assembly, the mix and the work […]Read More
D-Bo – Table Manners – Mixtape Review This was an interesting review for me to do. By the very definition of a mix-tape a listener is likely to find some elements they find amazing and some that don’t appeal to them as much – it’s a music-game that requires skill in sample choice and production. This is […]Read More
Wolf Colony – Music Review Sometimes you just know. Reading the initial communication from Wolf Colony I knew I’d find myself something I could dig personally and from the first of the four songs posted on their Soundcloud page it was already heading in the right direction. The vibe I got from the band is that […]Read More
Treehouse! – Growth – Album Review No joke – this album starts off on the RIGHT note! I’ve actually been waiting in anticipation for this album release by TreeHouse! and instantly I find exactly what I had been hoping for – consistency in their character and quality in the music. Now, we all know that expectations […]Read More
Chords Of Truth – Reflections Of Reality – Album Review I’m a big believer in writing “unforced” reviews – one’s that come in the moment and not from forcing the work, but rather from wanting it. As many of you have come to know through our last album review with the band We Steal Flyers – […]Read More
We Steal Flyers – Sidecars & Sideshows – Album Review I have to admit once I had read the name of this band I had a completely different impression of the sound of We Steal Flyers and their music already buzzing inside my head. I envisioned young punks taking posted information off of telephone poles back […]Read More
