Gianni Cresci – Il Terzo Canto Della Noce

Gianni Cresci – Il Terzo Canto Della Noce – Album Review It’s amazing to me just how often you can ask people what they listen to and they’ll tell you a whole slew of genres and not include instrumental or classical music. You can even ask them specifically about whether they listen to these wordless […]Read More

This Is A Joke Please Be Offended! – X Marks

This Is A Joke Please Be Offended! – X Marks The Spot – Album Review If I didn’t live just outside Vancouver, BC…chances are this might have been a joke to me! The basic-gist is that the joke itself is pretty much that almost any set of average music-loving ears out there would probably run […]Read More

Zero Verdict – Walk Tall

Zero Verdict – Walk Tall – Album Review I’ve known about the music of Zero Verdict for some time now…wasn’t too long ago that I reviewed the lead-single from this very album, Walk Tall, called “Train” in fact. I’ve known this band to make music at an incredibly high-caliber since being turned onto their music; […]Read More

Rick Shaffer – Jitterbug Shake

Rick Shaffer – Jitterbug Shake – Album Review Considering I was bracing myself for something more akin to The Brian Setzer Orchestra…I’ve been breathing a steady sigh of relief listening to the music of Rick Shaffer’s latest album Jitterbug Shake, thankful that I’ve not been taken into the sounds of swing or anything ‘big-band.’ Something […]Read More

Jean-Philippe Tremblay – Magic Love

Jean-Philippe Tremblay – Magic Love – Album Review I feel a massive kinship with Jean-Philippe Tremblay…it’s been a while since I’ve stumbled across music that’s made in a similar fashion to my own band. Very much like the music that my old studio-partner Rob @ SBS and I still continue to make, long after the […]Read More

10 Waves Of You – Fields Of Venus

10 Waves Of You – Fields Of Venus – Album Review Here’s an artist with a method and approach you can certainly respect. The mind behind the music of 10 Waves Of You is Luca Crivellaro and the goal was an ambitious task; to be the creator of his music in entirety…to not have to […]Read More

October Rust – Black Rain

October Rust – Black Rain – Album Review Concept album! Cool! I can never get enough of this style of an album…they just don’t happen nearly often enough. Involving mind-trickery, murder, love and loss…it’s a sonically-layered journey through some of the darker corners of our mind but also thought-provoking lyrics that make you question these […]Read More

Karen Crusher – Granite

Karen Crusher – Granite – Album Review I’ve gotta watch myself on this one and do my best to keep my objectivity here! I had the privilege of having my first encounter with Karen Crusher somewhere back in March or February of earlier this year…if memory serves me correctly we worked with her on a […]Read More

Paragon Theorem – Inkwell

Paragon Theorem – Inkwell – Album Review Pardon my language…but fuuuuuuuuuucccck do these guys ever make a HUGE sound! Paragon Theorem comes to us today based out of Glastonbury, CT in the USA…and believe me my friends, if they continue to make these massive sounds work as extremely well as they do – it won’t […]Read More

Elmo Karjalainen – The Free Guitar Album

Elmo Karjalainen – The Free Guitar Album – Album Review The album starts out HOT! Elmo Karjalainen comes out absolutely crushing the guitar licks on the opening of The Free Guitar Album with “Instrumetal.” Intense and mind-blowingly well-played – Elmo starts off this album with a masterpiece guitar epic that tears the place up from […]Read More
