Les Fradkin – “Under The Covers” – Single Review Interesting tune, interesting artist too – apparently this man rocks out with a midi-guitar – how rad is that!?! For a moment there, I nearly expected to find myself in the thick of a more aggressive update on the old-school Billy Joel sound…which…to a degree, is […]Read More
Johnson Livingstone – “Angels Dancin’ On The Head Of A Pin” – Single Review Alrighty…so…how does one even really begin to go about describing this tune? Which in itself, is sayin’ something I suppose…it’s not like this is within the first ten reviews I’ve written. What do I really like about this single? That’s actually […]Read More
Billy Roberts And The Rough Riders – “Stuck Down In Moama” – Single Review As I’ve maintained from day one, we’ve all gotta write about something. Throughout the years, we’ve experienced the music of Billy Roberts And The Rough Riders in a whole variety of ways, even on the inside of what’s actually quite a […]Read More
Tom Tikka And The Missing Hubcaps – “By 2022” – Single Review While I’m starting to suspect that Tom Tikka And The Missing Hubcaps is always gonna make life easy on a critic like myself as a listener, I can definitely tell ya that what I wasn’t expecting to start this review off with today […]Read More
The Key Of Green – Bathos – Album Review These two freakin’ musical superhumans again eh? It’s all about progression y’all…that’s the name of the game here.

Working Class Hussys – “Elaine” – Single Review Good gravy-boat lighthouse! Working Class Hussys are a perfect example of why it’s so damn hard for some of us reviewers out here to maintain our credibility. I fully remember my first experience with the music of this band from back in February earlier this year…I reviewed […]Read More
ATLS PLAZA N.D. – ME / NOT ME – EP Review If you tuned into the SBS Podcast earlier today, you’re already ahead of the game here and have heard some of my thoughts on the music of ATLS PLAZA N.D., based outta L.A., and you would have had a listen to half of the […]Read More
Electric85 – Ocean Session – EP Review Back already! You gotta love that. Feels like it was just yesterday that I got switched onto the music of Electric85 based out of Seattle…yet it was back in late September this year that I got my first introduction to their music with a two-song sampling of their […]Read More
TWOFEW – “Lips Blue” – Single Review Over this past year-plus, I’ve had the genuine privilege of being able to witness TWOFEW breaking out into the scene with a series of extremely stellar singles that have proven this band has put serious thought, effort, passion, and heart into every move they’ve been making along the […]Read More
Graham Trude – “6’ In The Ground” / “Home Crowd” Feat. Simone Denny – Singles Review Well heck! Whaddya know…Graham is practically next door to us here at this very moment in time! Alright…to be fair, Toronto is still a heck of a drive from where we’re based in Ottawa, but from what it looks […]Read More
