Blystad – Blystad – Album Review Ooooo! You had me at hello, Blystad. How could I not feel that way, or anyone not feel that way for that matter? You put on this self-titled album and it begins with the spellbinding smoothness of “Solvending,” and you’re pretty much witnessing the audible definition of what enchantment […]Read More
Garage T. Rashington III – The Last Slop – Album Review Pus. Phlegm. Seepage. Moist. Slop. There you have it. According to the internet, those first four words are the universally agreed upon worst words to hear. I added slop. Well, Garage T. Rashington III kept adding slop so that I eventually had to comment […]Read More
Todd Underwood – Outside – Album Review Ayyyy…whaddya call that stuff…symbolism? An appropriate match? A clever addition? Fitting? The opening track “Welcome To The Stage” starts out with crowd-noise cheering on the first track, and if that ain’t encouraging, I mean, what else could be? I just got back from a trip to the Sphere […]Read More
Paul Bibbins – Disenchantment At A Distance (REDUX) – Album Review Picture this with me…it’s 1969 at Christmastime…Paul Bibbins walks off the stage after rocking a stadium-sized crowd…gives Jimi a hi-five as they trade places…I mean…yeah…Paul’s still opening, because it’s Jimi-fucking-Hendrix y’all and even fantasies have limitations…but yeah…right at the time this sound would have […]Read More
Raw Soul – Journey // Destination – Album Review The new Raw Soul album opens with confidence and the strong voice you know at the helm as “Terra” gets things moving. With a series of verbal gymnastics being performed, where syllables are punched directly for emphasis bar after bar, “Terra” serves its purpose as the […]Read More
Marc Biala – Snowfall Serenade: A Christmas Celebration – Album Review All good things…as they say…come to an end… …but I was on a pretty incredible run, wasn’t I? I feel like I managed to escape the last two or three holiday seasons without any Christmas music being sent in at all…and if you look […]Read More
Between Two Horse Pikes – Dome Sweet Dome/Nobody Cares – Volume 1 – Album Review I tell ya…sometimes it’s true, absence makes the heart grow fonder. It hasn’t even really been that long since we last had Between Two Horse Pikes on these pages of ours…it was only about a year & a half ago […]Read More
Northern Blood – The Space Between Two Oceans – Album Review The opening track, called “Mid Atlantic Ridge,” rips by pretty quickly at less than ninety seconds in total, establishing itself as more of an intro-style tune than anything else. Dig the waves, dig the ambiance of it all…it’s gentle, soothing…and it leaves the album […]Read More

Polyphonic Exophilia – Deep Diver – Album Review It’s always a good sign when I push play and my wife starts yelling ‘hell yeah’ from her office next to mine. If she can get behind something, believe me when I tell ya, the masses out there are sure to love it too. Wonderful woman, but […]Read More
