Digital Escort – “Video Queen” – Single Review Holy Only Fans Batman! Just kidding. There’s no reason to single out Only Fans when a single like this is just as much of a savage burn to you Tik Tok’ers & those out there constantly doin’ it all for The Gram. You can practically hear the […]Read More
Collins And Streiss – “The Balcony Above” – Single Review How the heck as it been nearly six years since the last time we had Collins And Streiss on these pages of ours? I swear one day I’m only gonna blink and I’ll wake up in an entirely different decade. In a way, that’s a […]Read More
Blacklight Hotel – Morse Code – EP Review This was way harder to assess than I thought it would be if I’m being entirely honest. If you had asked me prior to listening, if Blacklight Hotel would come out with a kickass new record the next time they put something out, I’d have told you […]Read More
Joho – southside thrill ride – Album Review There is never going to be a time where I’m not looking forward to more from Joho – that’s facts. It’s freakin’ insane to think that it’s somehow only been just barely over FIVE YEARS since I first started to listen to this guy’s music, and that […]Read More
Haphazard – The Product – Album Review You know what I always tell ya…if I haven’t heard it, then it’s still new music to me! Listening to The Product by Haphazard was the audio equivalent of cracking open a time capsule. Little, if anything, is known about when the four motherfuckers that made it did […]Read More
Happy Curmudgeons – 2nd Chances – Album Review These dudes have been workin’ on this record for a minute or two! If you’ve been following along with our pages and postings, you’d have seen the first singles from this record pop up as Happy Curmudgeons continued to shape the album in the background. Tracks like […]Read More
Mark Baughman’s Working Theory – The Distance – Album Review Awesome to have this band back in the mix! I say band…it’s largely all Mark Baughman at the core of it, but he’s got the occasional guest along with him & such…you get it. I mean, he’s not just calling it Mark Baughman and leaving […]Read More
The Afro Nick – “Get There Before Noon (LA Mix)” – Single Review Alrighty y’all, we’ve got the one, the only, The Afro Nick in review here today! It’s okay if that name is brand-new to you, it was new to me too. In fact, as far as I can tell, “Get There Before Noon […]Read More
Ronald J. Fontenot – Black American Bard – Album Review While there’s always the possibility that just about anything will end up in my inbox and my speakers at any given point in time, I will completely admit that the Fantasy/Modern Medieval genres are still likely to be the least expected. It does occasionally happen, […]Read More
Root Cellar Xtract – “A London Rain” – Single Review Straight outta the root cellar and into our speakers…here we go. Admittedly, it took me a second or two for me to decide what I really thought about the sound of Root Cellar Xtract, because you really just don’t find a whole lot of this […]Read More
