Chad Rubin – “Just Another” / “You’ll Find You” – Singles Review This dude’s been plenty busy in his absence from our pages here! We caught up with artist Chad Rubin back in 2017 in checking out his single “Alone AF” – and even then, we were technically late jumpin’ onto the bandwagon – I […]Read More
Kootenay & Co. – “Corroded Sins” – Single Review You know, when I first saw the title, I was convinced this cut would be on the Metal side of Kootenay & Co.’s sound right away. Then I sat back and thought about it for a while…and really, I suppose it COULD have been one of […]Read More
No Serial Killer – No Serial Killer – Singles Review Iwillgointothiswithanopenmind…Iwillgointothiswithanopenmind…Iwillgointothiswithanopenmind… Alright. So. At the very least, you can see where my intentions are. I’ve been assured behind the scenes that No Serial Killer has saved their best for last here…and I immediately pushed back against both of those notions upon receiving the music without […]Read More
Swami Lushbeard – “End Of The World” – Single Review “It’s not the end of the world, it’s just the end of the day…” – I’m choosing to take their word for it. Here’s what I can tell ya. In my opinion, LA’s Rock band Swami Lushbeard has pretty much always been underestimated & underrated […]Read More

Polyphonic Exophilia – “Knight Becomes A Ritter” Feat. Essinauks – Single Review Now this…this excites me greatly. Sometime back around a million years ago when I was still a teenager and the internet became a thing, one of the very first songs I downloaded, if not THE first song I ended up downloading just to […]Read More
ET Boys – “Long Night” – Single Review So…let’s be real here…for their debut year, ET Boys have established their name solidly within the scene, they’ve released a whole series of singles & racked up hundreds of thousands of clicks from all around the world, and have given themselves plenty of reasons to look forward […]Read More
Polyphonic Exophilia – Danger Feat. Lil Kyo XR – EP Review Yes. Polyphonic Exophilia are THAT band. Not only do they make a whole lot of music to begin with, but they also expand their material in all kinds of directions as well – and just like they showed us with their previous release of […]Read More
AllOne & Conscious Robot – “Don’t We?” Feat. Brian Kjellgren – Single Review 100%. I’m all about this. How could I not be? If I’m out here trying to pass myself off as some kind of wordsmith in these reviews I write…I mean…I gotta bow down & salute the kind of lyrical effort you hear […]Read More
