EJBS91 – “Doubtful Compliant” – Single Review I can only imagine how stoked Emilio Jose Barzallo Saico (born in 1991, hence the name of this project) must have been when he was getting this song together piece by piece through the powers of the internet. You regular readers know I absolutely LOVE this kinda stuff…stylistically, […]Read More
Pōneke Gin Club – “Will She? (Angela’s Song)” – Single Review Alrighty! Well…first & foremost, I dig the band name! Pōneke Gin Club you say? I will admit – I actually have no idea what that would actually BE, but let’s be real here…it sounds snazzy, and I’m sure there’s at least a few folks […]Read More
The R Train Band – “We Gotta Get Out Of This Place” – Single Review I’ll tell ya this much straight off the drop…any band or artist out there that recognizes the awesomeness of The Animals is aces in my books. Don’t get me wrong…it’s not like they’re ever forgotten in the real conversations about […]Read More
Trey Wonder – The Long Dark Turn – Album Review It never takes all that long before Trey Wonder is cookin’ up somethin’ new in the ol’ studio lab. Y’all know the name at this point in time after how much I’ve written about his music here on our pages throughout the years – if […]Read More
Karma Town – “Oh No” – Single Review Hey right on – there are tons of reasons for me to be interested in this cut before I even push play! I can’t recall if we’ve ever had music all the way from Israel end up on our Canadian-based pages before, I love just about everything […]Read More
H The Nudist – “Hurt” / “Same Difference” – Singles Review There are times like this, where even if I’m not entirely sure about what I’m listening to, I’m 100% in favor of it. Don’t get me wrong…sound-wise, I’ve always got an idea when it comes to any song…I don’t mean I’m not sure about […]Read More
Billy Roberts And The Rough Riders – The Border Sessions – Album Review Now what do we have here? It seems like Billy Roberts And The Rough Riders have gathered the fruits of their labor from the past couple years and packaged it all together into a tasty compilation of sorts, called The Border Sessions. […]Read More
Granular Injections – “Influx” Featuring Damien Q, Joe Backer, Eric Tang – Single Review Lemme ask y’all a legitimate question, but a leading one all the same – is there anything better than finding a song that just slides straight into your ears without hesitation? I’m all for the creative & unique, don’t get it […]Read More
Blind Uncle Harry – “I Just Want You To Know” – Single Review I ended up stumbling onto this dude’s music sometime around the start of summer last year through a really unique experience in reviewing Blind Uncle Harry’s single called “Song For Kori.” It’s tough to explain all of what I found in listening […]Read More
Alias Wayne – “Chaperon” – Single Review Interesting! Obviously the cover art suggests our hero Alias Wayne has been joined by Alias Jayne somewhere on this single…though I’m not sure if this is as the inspiration or actual inspiration. I can see social media posts that indicate “Chaperon” is the “final single from my recent […]Read More
