Jill Benson – Reminiscence – Album Review Personally, I think one of the most incredible things we can ever witness in this lifetime is an artist with a natural connection to music. You know the kind I’m talking about…those incredible people out there that write songs where you listen, and it’s like you know where […]Read More
Joe Smooth & Irene Michaels – “Hush Money” / “Devil In Disguise” – Singles Review 75 years young you say! I’ve got love for that…artist Irene Michaels has been around for as long as the NBA has been – and that’s ballin’ y’all. Word on the street is that she’s been an entrepreneur, a Chicago […]Read More
Nate Jacobucci – Despair In A Cup – Single Review I am very much starting to think that Nate Jacobucci makes as much music as I listen to, and that’s sayin’ something! You know him, you love him…our zany Canadian friend from the east side…where is he based out of again…Manitoba, right? Winnipeg? Yeah! That’s […]Read More
TaniA Kyllikki – “H.W.C.” – Single Review From what I can see out there online, solo-artist TaniA Kyllikki is already well on her way to establishing herself within the music scene…it looks like she’s been releasing singles professionally since about 2018, and recently combined her songs onto a compilation/debut album called Why Chapter One, released […]Read More
WRATH – Red Dragon – Album Review I know what you’re thinking. You’re looking at the band’s name, and you’re like…well – what kind of music IS it, right? Are we talking about Folk? R&B? Classical? Alright, alright…you probably weren’t really wondering that, so much as you were assuming it was straight-up savage Metal – […]Read More
IJK – “Child In Time” – Single Review Interesting choice of tunes to cover, no doubt about that. Imad Jack Karam, aka IJK, is back in action…or more accurately, he’s back up on our pages once again. It’s been a while! Last time the man was up here on our homepage, it was the holiday […]Read More
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
