Jerry Pines – “Heaven” – Single Review You know something? This “Heaven” place that Jerry’s singin’ about sounds alright!

Dizzy Scratch – “Tribal” Feat. Antoinette – Single Review Now this right here is homegrown talent I can certainly appreciate. Based right in our backyard over there in Toronto, or vice versa if you consider that to be us over here in Ottawa, you get the picture – we’re not all that far away from […]Read More

Glenn Murawski – Reclaim – Album Review Looks like the man’s already been busy this year…four records deep on the inside of not even two months…that’s a fairly energetic start to 2022 and pretty damn consistent with Glenn’s regular extraordinary level of output. Hell…I’ll even be fair about it – one of those four records […]Read More

Don – “Huuh” / “Right Over There” – Singles Review Don’s set himself up to make some serious moves this year and twist a whole bunch of dials for ya – dude’s got a double-release planned for February 22, 2022 – and that’s the kind of coordination and synchronicity I can definitely get behind! Ticks […]Read More
Round About – Inner Voices And Curious Choices – Album Review “Bittersweet” indeed! After reading about the adventures of Round About, I can only imagine that’s the conclusion they’ve come to in putting out this new album, as documented on their social-media pages. On the one hand – BRAND-NEW music! Heck YEAH that’s always worth […]Read More
Pamela Hopkins – “One More Last Kiss” Feat. Jason Lee Campbell – Single Review Let’s see, let’s see…when was the last time I was listening to Pamela Hopkins…lemme see if I can find that information in my memory somewhere…ahh yes – it was way “Back When” now wasn’t it folks? #seewhatIdidthere? Listen. What’s real is […]Read More
Cold Engines – “One Of Us Now” / “Flower Covered Hills” – Singles Review Here I am, as usual, somewhere down the middle of the rabbit-hole, trying to find my way to the answers I’m looking for.
