Sugar Lime Blue – “Burn It” – Single Review They say first impressions are pretty much everything, right? If that’s truly the case, then I’d say that Nashville’s Sugar Lime Blue are on mighty solid ground with a single like “Burn It” for sure. Listening to the vibrant bounce & energy this cut has straight […]Read More
Richard Self – Lives Of The Ignorant Part 2 – Album Review “Musician/producer with not enough time on his hands.” #Truth #IHearYaBrother What a trip this record is! I’m not even kidding…this is like…some kind of intergalactic concept & story woven into the fabric of the songs on Richard Self’s Lives Of The Ignorant Part […]Read More
Jacapello – “Lullaby” – Single Review I tell ya folks…we’ve certainly come a long way as artists. I’m sittin’ here, listening to a single called “Lullaby” by Jacapello, based out of the UK…and not only am I doing that from way over here on the other side of the globe in Canada, but I gotta […]Read More
Mr.Reaper – “Come Follow Me And We Ride” – Single Review “I keep on goin’ – and I keep on flowin.’ I never stop, ‘til my mind drops, tellin’ motherfuckers what I have, or what I have-not.” I’m feelin’ it Mr.Reaper, and I know that I won’t be alone in that assessment – “Come Follow […]Read More
Vices Inc – “Running Up That Hill (A Deal With God)” / “Forgotten Dust” – Singles Review So! Probably best that I preface this a bit with the fact that I dig this band…Vices Inc seem like good people, and I remember them well from reviewing their singles “(Hold On) Gravitron” and “More Is Never […]Read More
MELØ – “Hopeless Romantic Creatures” – Single Review It has definitely been a busy year for this synthetically special artist based out of Canada – MELØ has released a whole lot of tunes in 2022 so far, and we’ve been there from the beginning to see the excite build alongside the momentum. What began with […]Read More
Achilles Tenderloin – “Little Girl Blue” – Singles Review Hmmm…nothing better in music than a name that stands out…Achilles Tenderloin will do that for sure. There are many unique things about “Little Girl Blue,” the advance single from Joe Augustin’s solo project Achilles Tenderloin, with an album coming out next year called Tincture For Trouble. […]Read More
David Singley – “Change Gonna Come” – Single Review Talented songwriter. I dig what you’ve got goin’ on here David. That’s probably the easiest conclusion to draw to anyhow…as to where Singley ‘fits’ out there in this music-scene we’re sharing…that could be more difficult to figure out. Not that desperately searching to put ourselves in […]Read More
Dylan Tauber – The Lagoon – Album Review The last time I reviewed Dylan’s music, was way back when I was still living in Ontario, can you believe that? Alright…I suppose it wasn’t that long ago…we moved back to British Columbia this summer, but it does already seem like a lifetime’s worth of events have […]Read More
Vaquero – “JOhN SNOW” / “XXXTRA THICCC” – Singles Review “Twenty-five on my third wife…” Yikes. That can’t be cheap. Welcome to the world of Vaquero…this dude sure ain’t afraid to get grimy with it. All-in-all, he’s an artist that seems pretty determined to write rhymes that’ll have you raisin’ an eyebrow or two when […]Read More
