Blunt Objects – Safe At Home? – Album Review We’ll be wading in the era of pandemic tunes for many years to come y’all, I assure ya. Whether they directly reflect on the situation or document the history of who we were & what was happening at the time, or whether it’s a matter of […]Read More
Mr Streetz – Evolution – EP Review By now, y’all know the name…or at the very least, you should. Mr Streetz back up in the heeeeeeezy and on our pages once again. We’ve spent the past month or so checking out this dude’s music from his debut record Flowtime, to his upcoming album Wins & […]Read More
Sean Shiff – “Ten Below” Feat. JoyAnn Parker – Single Review I’ve always felt like a lot of the whole life experience is completely relative. Like, for example…whatever your maximum level of stress is, from whatever causes it, would be the same as my own maximum, no matter what it is that might cause my […]Read More
Lady Chops & The Goddamn Jam – “Sunset” – Single Review Goddamn irresistible if you ask me. If you were to somehow merge the awesomeness of The Beths and Sunflower Bean, I think you’d get something that sounds pretty close to this…maybe throw in some of that naturally delightful mischievousness and fun we get out […]Read More
Rose Blood – “Feelings” – Single Review I’ll fully admit, I didn’t really know what to expect here, but this wasn’t it! “Feelings” by Rose Blood is an interesting tune…and in many ways, it’ll end up dictating what happens in the future of this project led by Eddie Figueroa. It’s the debut single from Rose […]Read More
t.Roy & The Smoking Section – “Southeast Texas Son” – Single Review You’re a long, long way from home there partner. I hope y’all out there always appreciate just how far your music can travel in the internet era. It’s not that it couldn’t cross borders & whatnot before our days online of course, but […]Read More
Nick Manka – “This Game” – Single Review Well would ya look at that…another part of the alumni in A Vintage Year is still out there makin’ the magic happen – this time, it’s Nick Manka. Another former member of the band, Jordan Barney, whom we ran into through the solo project called Becoming Human, […]Read More
numeral – “HIDEOUS” – Single Review Now this right here pretty much sounds like the soundtrack to the present day if you ask me. The Berlin/Bern-based music producer/artist known as numeral sure creates an ominous beginning to the brand-new single called “HIDEOUS,” which follows the Primeval EP released in the summer of last year. You […]Read More
Kiev – Lenses – Album Review Alrighty…back to it. You just read recently about Kiev on these pages of ours, right? Hopefully if I’ve got everything moving according to schedule, we would have posted up about his previous record Manifest not too long ago, so that I could get to this brand-new record he’s just […]Read More
Kiev – Manifest – Album Review I don’t think there’s ever been a time where Kiev’s music has shown up in my inbox where I haven’t felt like it has been way too long since the last time I heard him. One of my favorite independent rappers out there in the game today, he’s always […]Read More
