We Steal Flyers – Applecart

We Steal Flyers – Applecart – Album Review Could I BE any more PROUD of the fact that we’re listening to We Steal Flyers once again?  NOT A CHANCE! There are but a few bands & artists out there that have truly helped shape and define a lot of what I do here at sleepingbagstudios […]Read More

The State School – SloFastSlo

The State School – SloFastSlo – Album Review It’s often been said that music is quite dependent on timing…would reviews follow that same rule I wonder?  The other day, I checked into two albums that were coming out in the mainstream before I had a listen to The State School for the first time…a fact […]Read More

JackPotLuck – JPL

JackPotLuck – JPL – Album Review This dude seems to be pretty cool.  If you’ve already seen the latest episode of SBS Live This Week (#048) then you’ve already heard some of the thoughts on the new self-titled record from one-man band JackPotLuck, which is a project helmed by Gary Bonanni.  If not…check that out […]Read More

Revolushn – The Freshman

Revolushn – The Freshman – Album Review Holy shit would you look at that!  I’ve got nearly as many band-members in Revolushn as I do songs to review on their latest album, The Freshman – that’s rare!  Also, quite cool to me…I’ve talked with more than enough bands over the past fifteen years to know […]Read More

Christian Farrar – Shitty Music You Won’t Understand

Christian Farrar – Shitty Music You Won’t Understand – Album Review ALWAYS good to see an artist return to our pages – especially the off-kilter and crazy-ones like Christian Farrar.  I think it was nearly a year back now since we last heard from this mixtape-madman…and did I expect to hear that this guy has […]Read More

Aminita Satori – Back To The Stars We Go

Aminita Satori – Back To The Stars We Go – Album Review Had I not already been in a stellar mood today, Aminita Satori’s new album Back To The Stars We Go would have put me there.  I easily remembered that name when I saw it pop into the playlist…this was an artist that I […]Read More

Da Butcher – Before Da Storm

Da Butcher – Before Da Storm – Album Review I think it says a lot about an artist when they put out a prequel months before like Da Butcher did with the Life Before Da Storm EP and then go on to serve-up the main course cohesively without much at all being the same.  He […]Read More

A. Armstrong – Retrolution

A. Armstrong – Retrolution – Album Review Aside from Microsoft Word not wanting to allow me to write A. Armstrong in the title without it attempting to indent and re-space the name to A.    Armstrong – there’s been no struggle at all in listening to this record and typing the review.  Not going to lie […]Read More

The Gangsta Rabbi – Quadrophenia

The Gangsta Rabbi – Quadrophenia – Album Review The last interaction we had with The Gangsta Rabbi was one that uncovered a lot of truth.  Steve Lieberman, the brainchild behind the music, also revealed that he’d been diagnosed with terminal Leukemia…and though that’s certainly tragic – he also revealed the strength he possesses when it […]Read More

Keith Richie – Skylines

Keith Richie – Skylines – Album Review You might be surprised to hear it…but there are actually quite a few ways that I enjoy waking up in the morning.  For instance…I got up today thinking there was a strong chance it was Thursday, only to eventually discover it’s actually Sunday – and I like that…I […]Read More
