Kiev – Manifest

Kiev – Manifest – Album Review I don’t think there’s ever been a time where Kiev’s music has shown up in my inbox where I haven’t felt like it has been way too long since the last time I heard him.  One of my favorite independent rappers out there in the game today, he’s always […]Read More

DID NOT! – DID NOT!

DID NOT! – DID NOT! – Album Review Love the way the synths come in and the drums ramp up the energy on “My Reverie” as this song gets this DID NOT! album going from the middle of summer last year…and the way Bill Owens bends his vocal melody as the chorus comes in around […]Read More

Mr Streetz – Flowtime

Mr Streetz – Flowtime – Album Review Yoooooooo!  No joke folks, the title-track from Mr Streetz on this record called Flowtime is something ELSE yo!  Y’all know I had a great time listening to his latest album called Wins & Bosses, but in taking a trip back to his previous release, I gotta say…”Flowtime” was […]Read More

Blunt Objects – Call It Sex

Blunt Objects – Call It Sex – Album Review Call It Sex – because why not?  You could certainly call an album many things, and as far as I can tell, sex would qualify just like anything else would, would it not?  Like I always tell ya here on these pages of ours, we’ve all […]Read More

A/D Rocky – Ashton Davis

A/D Rocky – Ashton Davis – Album Review “Do not go easy but stay constructive…” Fuuuuuuck.  Show me ONE person that wants to be told how to do the job they do every single day. Anyhow.  “Life’s A Bitch,” as A/D Rocky would tell ya himself, so I suppose I gotta roll with it.  Love […]Read More

Etcher – Rhythm To The Spin

Etcher – Rhythm To The Spin – Album Review Interesting.  According to the notes I’ve got here, with the exception of the last song on this record, the rest of this lineup was “created and recorded outdoors underneath a 3 sided metal carport on the side of a mountain top glade in the Missouri Ozarks […]Read More

Garage T. Rashington III – Inauthentic Slop

Garage T. Rashington III – Inauthentic Slop – Album Review Gather around the fire kiddies…lemme tell ya a story about a man that never was… It was way past late on a windy night in Oregon and the bar had just belched the finality of its contents onto the street, sending its blur of passionate […]Read More

Simon Safhalter – One Level Deeper Than The Rest

Simon Safhalter – One Level Deeper Than The Rest – Album Review A musical shape-shifter, he most certainly is. By Simon’s own admission on his social media pages, he’s basically creating all kinds of tunes that range from “pop, rap, punk, rock, j-rock, electronic, anime, video game and film music.”  Did he leave anything out?  […]Read More

Simple Stone – Through This Dark

Simple Stone – Through This Dark – Album Review Coming out of the gate swinging harder than hard, Australia’s own Simple Stone gets the energy racing at a fever pitch from the very first moments you’ll hear on Through This Dark with their opening track “Secrets.”  Somewhere in the realm of Alt-Rock-meets-Hard-Rock with a touch […]Read More

Neon Radiation – Future TV Themes

Neon Radiation – Future TV Themes – Music Review Super cool!  I’ve heard many Neon Radiation tunes to this point, but this is the first experience I’ve had with the Gary Blake project going all-instrumental for the specific purpose of shoppin’ these cuts on over to the suits & ties of TV-land to see what […]Read More
