Altamina – Tomorrow Morning Will Be Tonight

Altamina – Tomorrow Morning Will Be Tonight – Album Review Canadian-based band Altamina has a sound & style that I can definitely identify with.  Very similar to the best songs from The National…the slow ones where each song has a magical part you just wish would go on for forever…Altamina seems to be built of […]Read More

Sonificade – Despite All The Noise

Sonificade – Despite All The Noise – Album Review Despite All The Noise, there’s a complete celebration of all-things-rock on this new album from Sonificade.  With a full eleven tracks that range and roam through the vast terrain within the genre & sub-genres from alternative to post-punk, to impressive hooks that have pop-inspirations and tremendous […]Read More

The Drama Dolls – Requiem

The Drama Dolls – Requiem – Album Review Big credit to Mike Cambridge at the helm of the controls for The Drama Dolls…let me tell ya why.  I see a ton of bands in the independent scene going for EP’s over albums these days in effort to keep the music-flowing at a better rate; and […]Read More

A Truth Called Nothing – Sluggerhand

A Truth Called Nothing – Sluggerhand – Album Review Put it to you this way…whether or not it’s an album-title, a band-name, those first opening-notes of a record, a little background info…the combination of these things somehow lead to a much tougher-time finding true surprise in music.  It takes a rare breed of musician to […]Read More

Erik Odsell – Searching For Lost Boys Island

Erik Odsell – Searching For Lost Boys Island – Album Review It’s always interesting to see what other people hear in their music.  If there’s a gap in the independent music-scene, as far as I’m concerned, it’s quite often the disconnect between the songs we write and we truly love…and the songs that truly connect […]Read More

Endsightt – The Music Demo

Endsightt – The Music Demo – Album Review Let me tell you all…if I had a dime for every time an artist or band told me that I was about to be in for an ‘all-new experience unlike I’ve ever heard before’ – I’d be driving my lambo down the street and tossin’ dollars in […]Read More

Plaedo – Tribal Hop Raptivism

Plaedo – Tribal Hop Raptivism – Album Review Growing up in Vancouver, BC, a multi-faceted outlet for opinions and beliefs expressed on the streets every day and a couple music-city to boot – I can relate quickly to Plaedo and what he’s rhyming about on Tribal Hop Raptivism.  With messages of peace, togetherness & oneness […]Read More

Between The Void – Between The Void

Between The Void – Between The Void – Album Review Gotta admit…when I first heard Incubus way back in the S.C.I.E.N.C.E. days…I never in my wildest dreams would have believed I would hear as many bands as I have since that have been truly inspired by that band.  As they progressed through their career – […]Read More

Cunabear – w0nky

Cunabear – w0nky – Album Review I’ve had a chance to sit and really get into this album over this past week or so.  I keep coming back to the fact that it’s made with a tremendous amount of inventive-ideas and innovation, with an awesome modern-update to an old-school vibe…but will the people ‘get it?’  […]Read More

The Hsu-nami – Hsu-nami

The Hsu-nami – Hsu-nami – Album Review The music of The Hsu-nami is one of the wildest rides I’ve experienced this year.  Those that follow along and read us daily are already familiar with how ‘different’ the music can be here…and also how much I enjoy that personally.  The last thing in the world that […]Read More
