PEP – “BOP” – Single Review I ain’t gonna lie to ya…when I read the title of this cut, I straight-up cringed. I’ve never been a big fan of buzz-words, or using language in a way that just don’t make no damn sense…but keep in mind, I’m older than dirt. When the kids out there […]Read More
Shock Sorrow – Pagan Queen – EP Review One year to the day…would ya look at that. That’s pretty good timing on those record releases there Shock Sorrow. They’ve got two under their belt so far, both of which came out officially on Halloween. It’s been just over the ol’ 365 since the last time […]Read More
Mark Dunn – “Young Salamander” – Single Review Alright…lemme see here, lemme see…if my memory serves me right, I got criticized for not being critical enough with Mark the last time around, even though I loved his last single “Walk In The Snow” and didn’t have a bad word to say about it. So I […]Read More
Fred Vanterra – Waikiki Synth – Album Review It’s almost too easy to picture Fred rocking the heck out in his living room with the synths blasting through the speakers all around him. Don’t get me wrong, I’m sure he ends up in some kind of studio or whatever to make the finalized product you’re […]Read More
Otherish – “Their Mistake” – Single Review Not a bad tune at all. Good lord though…I ain’t gonna lie to ya…Otherish seems like they’d be tough to keep up to. I was reading about “Their Mistake” before I heard it myself, and came out with a shrug and a ‘huh?’ in terms of trying to […]Read More
Thy Veils – “Influx” – Single Review Ayyyy this is always a treat for the ears – it’s our favorite project based out of Romania, Thy Veils! While, sure, it’s fair to say that we don’t get a ton of competition for that top spot with respect to where this Daniel Dorobantu-led project comes from […]Read More
Melissa Quinn Fox – “Dear Self Doubt,” – Single Review Well now…this fine lady is havin’ quite the year with her music as far as my ears can tell. For the record, I’ve always heard the talent in Melissa Quinn Fox. We might be on polar opposite ends of the whole genre-spectrum when it comes […]Read More
No Serial Killer – Singles Review Because why make another record when you can just make one that never ends with more than a hundred tracks on it, right? Welcome to my life…spent reviewing songs by No Serial Killer. I’m sure some of you out there remember the past reviews I wrote on this never-ending […]Read More
MUB – Breezes From The Last Century – EP Review I happen to know for a fact that this EP has been a long, long time in the making… …on the bright side, it sounds like things have turned out well for MUB and his piano-based record. Anything worth doing is worth doing well, right? […]Read More
Moon And Aries – Break The Matrix (Episode Two) – EP Review “Mind the mess as I press the buttons, one for creation, one for destruction…” I love that line from the opening track on the new record by Moon And Aries, who returned with their promised second EP of their Break The Matrix trilogy […]Read More
