Helen O’Shea – Sturdy Souls

Helen O’Shea – Sturdy Souls – Album Review Alrighty…as some of you might remember from earlier this month in October, we had a peek into what singer/songwriter Helen O’Shea was up to with a couple of tracks from her album Sturdy Souls in review – and now we’re back to finish the job by checking […]Read More

Land Of Chocolate – Your Finest Hour

Land Of Chocolate – Your Finest Hour – Album Review “This album is old enough to vote.”  #TheyAreNotKiddingYall Even though their sound actually traces back much further to the roots of Progressive music and its first clever combinations to include some Pop/Jazz into its whole Rock vibe, if we’re talking about the nineteen-plus years ago […]Read More

Fergal Nash – On A Constant Roll

Fergal Nash – On A Constant Roll – Album Review You can hear that classic singer/songwriter vibe in Fergal Nash as his upcoming album On A Constant Roll (Oct. 27th) starts up with “Walking Tall.”  I can get behind what I’m hearing well enough…he’s got that light-Rock vibe that took over in the late 90s […]Read More

Blunt Objects – No One’s Coming

Blunt Objects – No One’s Coming – Album Review Has it really been since July that I last reviewed the music of Bill Owens in Blunt Objects?  That seems crazy to me…it still feels like it was just yesterday.  I mean…I know I was talking about him yesterday in reviewing a record by Big Bus […]Read More

Big Bus Dream – C’mon Dream

Big Bus Dream – C’mon Dream – Album Review Alrighty y’all…let’s talk about Big Bus Dream.  You might remember some of the postings we’ve had of this project led by Mike Shannon, formerly of the band 4th Ward back in the early 2000s – we’ve posted up tracks by Big Bus Dream called “Operator” back […]Read More

Herman Martinez – Immortal Jellyfish

Herman Martinez – Immortal Jellyfish – Album Review I’ve got more faith in Herman Martinez kicking all the ass than most of ya out there, and do I think he’s gonna go on to slay a full lineup of eighteen tracks?  Heck NO!  That’s no slight against him, believe me – it’s simply the odds […]Read More

Dirti Speshuls – Come Again

Dirti Speshuls – Come Again – Album Review It’s always a good sign when I start out listening to an album feeling like I’ve heard the first song before when that’s actually the case.  As “Won’t See Me” started up the new Dirti Speshuls record Come Again, I was more than convinced I’d heard it […]Read More

Stoker – Programmed To Exist

Stoker – Programmed To Exist – Album Review Man!  I freakin’ dig the confidence in Stoker’s vocals as this title-track started up the record…Joseph Belsher attacks the microphone with clear & bold tone, not holding anything back as he establishes a standard that he’ll go on to live up to throughout the course of this […]Read More

Nosebora – Sink Your Teeth In

Nosebora – Sink Your Teeth In – Album Review That is indeed, a strange name to have gone with!  Would have been tough to pin down what I thought Nosebora would have sounded like on sight alone…this time around, I was better off to just push play.  What’s in a name anyway, am I right?  […]Read More

Jeffrey Hull – To All My Friends

Jeffrey Hull – To All My Friends – Album Review I’ll fully admit…I never really know what to say when someone tells me that they’re ‘done with music.’  Saying “okay” seems like a very short but fairly harsh response, but it’s usually the only one I can ever come up with.  Don’t get me wrong, […]Read More
