DID NOT! – Yeah, You Did… – Album Review I feel like I always end up rushing to comment on new records by Bill Owens’ other band, Blunt Objects, and as a result, end up leaving DID NOT! off to the side until I’m good & ready to have a listen. It’s not like I […]Read More
Zronimo – “Stay (With Me Is Where You Belong)” / “Funk Avenue” – Singles Review Well now we’re just gettin’ all kinds of meta… Knowing that Zronimo is out there, currently getting his first MOVIE goin’ on, you can’t help but notice the cinematic tie-in with the extended intro that leads into “Stay (With Me […]Read More
Sean Shiff – “Learn New Tricks” – Single Review Alrighty…let’s see where I’m at with this latest single from Sean Shiff… I suppose the first thing that struck me was that it’s about the least recognizable of his tunes that I’ve personally heard to-date, and ultimately, after about four years of listening, that’s probably a […]Read More
The Spice Lads with Blunt Objects – Minor Miners – Album Review “Enjoy at your own risk — your aural palate may never be quite the same…” Ohhhhhhhh you know a statement like that is gonna get my attention, yes indeed.

Merit Maker – Pick Ups And Put Downs – Album Review Well would ya look at that…it was already a couple of summers ago since I was last reviewing the music of Merit Maker…amazing how time flies. It’s a name I remember though, so credit where credit is due – this Punk project led by […]Read More
Shannon Shea – “Card Castle” – Single Review I tell ya folks…”Card Castle” might not be your typical debut tune or what you’d exactly consider to be part of the ol’ soundtrack of summer…but Shannon’s on solid enough ground for sure. In its own way, the timing of the release is as metaphorical as the […]Read More
Margarita Mantis – Ocean Of Life – EP Review As depicted by the artwork you see coming with this new EP by artist Margarita Mantis, the ol’ Ocean Of Life ain’t exactly easy to navigate. From what you’ll read in her biography online, she’s not exactly what you’d call a novice in the game of […]Read More
LAZORE – “Just Another Day” – Single Review Have yourself a year brother-man, go on! LAZORE has had no problem at all establishing his name in the game in 2023, and to be completely truthful with ya, it’s not at all tough to understand why that is. Some folks are fortunate enough to possess a […]Read More
