HuffDaddy – Lost In The Fathom – Album Review + Bonus Single Alrighty…sounds like we’ve got a very promising brand-new artist on the scene in review here today. While there are definitely multiple opportunities for HuffDaddy to grow & evolve in what he’s creating, I feel quite confident in declaring that he’s got everything it […]Read More
JoeyNiles – “Masters Of Minds” – Single Review Metal music designed to make you think? Who would’ve thought!?! Ahhh…it’s such a misunderstood style of music, ain’t it? From the moment it first started, all the way through to where it is now, you’ll still find tons of people that think Metal is really all about […]Read More
Digital Escort – “Windshield” – Single Review These devilishly delightful minstrels of musical mayhem! Digital Escort has played this new single of theirs completely correctly. Making music is best approached from multiple angles in this world we’re living in now…we’ve turned a full 180-degrees from where The Buggles feared and predicted we’d get to. Instead […]Read More
Giant Silent World – Giant Silent World – Album Review The dynamic duo of Pete Gustard and Christopher Smith returns – in full album form! I know they’ve been looking forward to getting this album out there, and the day has finally arrived. Nearly two years since the release of their debut EP, Giant, their […]Read More
Blake Shepperd – “Molly (so WHAT?)” – Single Review Someone give this guy a hug! Sounds like he wants one. Interesting track from Blake Shepperd here. I suppose you could consider “Molly (so WHAT?)” to be the first track you’d hear on the sequel to his 2023 record called DIRTY CLUB FLOOR, which expanded from […]Read More
Boy Hero – Year One – EP Review “Post-Hardcore, but make it anime.” As the opening track “Anteiku” started up with such a pleasant, unassuming, non-aggressive vibe, I still braced myself for the burst of energy that would theoretically be coming right around the corner at any possible moment, given Boy Hero’s self-described take on […]Read More
speakeazie – “Sleeping Broken In Your Bed” – Single Review Most of the time, when I’m talking about identity in music & how it can lead an artist or band out there to a lengthy career and a loyal fan-base, it’s usually in the context of encouraging them to do things in a different way […]Read More
Greg Norton – “Playing With Fire” – Single Review Ayyyy! It’s that down to earth everyman, Greg Norton, who also just happens to possess the superpowers of an all-star musican/songwriter – that guy! Surely you remember the man from previous singles we’ve reviewed here at the homepage over the past couple years like “Echoes,” “Complicate […]Read More
Saure Gurken – “Audiospawn” / “Don’t Shoot” – Singles Review Holy blast from the past! It was way back in 2015 that we last heard from Saure Gurken! I really dig the way that “Audiospawn” creeps throughout its opening, and absolutely love the guitars from Quaziq as the song starts up. While I think it’s […]Read More
Jesse James Allen – In The Company Of Machines – Album Review If there’s one title for an album that you’ll find perfectly sums up what a record is really all about this year, it’s likely to be this one. What ARE all these wonderful machines and things and three-letter words that symbolize programs and […]Read More
