Steve Markoff & Patricia Lazzara – “(I Just) Died In Your Arms Tonight” Feat. Allison Brewster Franzetti – Single Review I think this collaboration is just gonna have to accept being a three-piece one day. At the very least, I know I’ve personally yet to hear Steve & Patricia without Allison…and even the interns at […]Read More
Polyphonic Exophilia – Planet GROOVIN’ (The New Golden 20ies) – EP Review “Sane or crazy, but never lazy.” #YaGotThatRight! Quite honestly, I don’t think there’s been anyone out there in the scene this year that’s had nearly as much fun as the collective known as Polyphonic Exophilia has been throughout 2021. Hopefully there are at […]Read More
Butterfist Funhouse – Scenes From An Italian Drama – EP Review “There’s often a story behind the madness, but it’s up to you to find it.” #Truth I mean…when you got this much sauce, people listen & pay attention, that’s just the reality.

The Marica Frequency – Washed Away – Album Review If there’s anyone else out there that wants to help me convince The Marica Frequency to put their tunes on Bandcamp so that I can get my hands on a copy of their catalog one day, I’d greatly appreciate the assistance. Most of us are streamers […]Read More
David D’Alessio – “Before Tonight” – Single Review “This ain’t fool’s gold.” #PreachTheGoodWordSir! #YouGotThatRight I wish…sincerely…that everyone out there made the task of reviewing music as easy on me as this guy does. The man’s got more than a decade under his belt from what I can see online, so don’t get me wrong, I’d […]Read More
Lazarus Benson X AlpHaMatic – “So Strong” – Single Review You can always tell an artist is startin’ to level-up when you see how talent attracts talent. The ever-active Lazarus Benson and his hybrid Nu-Metal vibes have been all over our pages this year. From reviews on cuts like “Monster” and “Like You” at the […]Read More
Otis Coefficient – “Otis Coefficient” / “I Still Love H.E.R.” – Singles Review “This that silly intellectual rhyme potpourri.” #WordUp And just like potpourri, you never really know what the heck you’re gonna find contributes to the mix – Otis Coefficient is just gettin’ his career rollin’ from what I can see online, and the […]Read More
