Paul de Leon – Younger Years – EP Review Absolutely STOKED to have this man back in the spotlight and his music coming through our speakers once again. Obviously the main concern here is the fact that it’s been about three years and I’ve promoted Paul de Leon’s music about just as much as he […]Read More
Forest City & Friends – Sol – EP Review Feels like it’s been forever since we last had Forest City & Friends on our pages, when in fact it was just a couple years back…they’re basically right on time with a new release, crankin’ out material at a steady rate that no one, including me, […]Read More
AREKAYIC – “ADHD” / “Still Remain Okay” – Singles Review Just the one dude eh? Impressive! I’ve been checking out the music of AREKAYIC over the course of last weekend & this week we’re in now, and there’s a whole lot of really rad stuff happening in this solo project centered around the creative catharsis […]Read More
The Rhythm Bullies – Surfdom – EP Review It’d just be downright strange to not hear at least a little twangin’ from the ol’ guitars if you’re gonna call your record Surfdom, right? No worries on that – The Rhythm Bullies have got you covered right off the drop as their new EP begins with […]Read More
Underlined Passages – Neon Inoculation – Album Review Inoculation just has the one N up at the front eh? Well…ya learn somethin’ new every day now don’t ya. Having loosely been a part of a two-piece band myself since back in the early 2000s, I’ve always felt a natural kinship with the music of Underlined […]Read More
Philosofree & Optimysts – Philosofree – Album Review Well it’s certainly been more than a minute since we last heard from Philosofree & Optimysts – it was way back in 2016 that I was last checking out their music, and it seems they’ve been plenty busy since then! All kinds of records & music put […]Read More
Zanilonia – “You Disarmed Your Robot Army” – Single Review It’s been really interesting to read the backstory behind the recording of this song and the journey that Zanilonia has been on over the past seven years or so of its existence. Centered around the creativity of David Zee, who considers this project to be […]Read More
TWOFEW – “The War” – Single Review To be fair to TWOFEW, as far as I know, they didn’t cause “The War” we’re all currently witnessing from afar, and this song would have been written long before Russia’s nightmarish invasion of Ukraine – so don’t go holdin’em personally responsible for all this carnage out there! […]Read More
Katriona Taylor – Blind Passion – Album Review Lemme tell ya folks…this tiny little corner of the internet we’re livin’ in over here and the small soapbox that I stand upon to rant & rave about your music pales in comparison to the magnitude & magnificence of an entertainment giant like Jools Holland. Considering the […]Read More
TheGAMRKage – “Rule 99” Feat. Jai Sade / “Rule 99 (Side A)” Feat. Eddie Adei – Singles Review There are two sides to every story, as they say. Right here in this new single, TheGAMRKage has put together a version of that anecdote on LIFE by splitting up the guest-star appearances over “Rule 99” to […]Read More
