JJ Rane – Back Into The River

JJ Rane – Back Into The River – EP Review All the way over in Victoria, BC, you say?  I’ve taken that ferry ride just a few hundred times myself! Rockin’ with that ‘Pacific Northwest’ sound according to JJ Rane’s bio online.  For a second there, I was like, wait…is that really a thing?  Aren’t […]Read More

Grant Jesse Prosser – Museum Of Wrenches

Grant Jesse Prosser – Museum Of Wrenches – EP Review Heck yeah Museum Of Wrenches!  Is there a better type of museum?  What’s YOUR favorite type of museum, and why do you think it’s soooooooooooo much cooler than the kind with wrenches in it?

Carquake – Shit’s Fucked

Carquake – Shit’s Fucked – EP Review More than five years ago, when I started listening to a band called Lounge Act Jam, I knew I was listening to something severely special in the music Alan Yang was making.  He’d go on to make more of it, which only confirmed I was right, and then […]Read More

Dadanaut – Reaktokratie

Dadanaut – Reaktokratie – EP Review As we continue our journey into the latest by Dadanaut… Reaktokratie begins with a track called “Gleichtakt” that slowly builds up to its boiling point, and pretty much celebrates its odd combination of its culmination by staying locked into that moment until it’s finished.  If you read my review […]Read More

Sawyer – Happy Hour

Sawyer – Happy Hour – EP Review And here we are, something like six years later after the first time I reviewed Sawyer’s music, starting out with three songs I’ve heard from’em before to open up their brand-new Happy Hour EP.  Don’t get me wrong, it’d be hard to complain about a song like “You […]Read More

Llama Llodge – Lock Den

Llama Llodge – Lock Den – EP Review One can only imagine the intensity of the debate. “Din is a word too you know, and it would make more sense.” “Well…no.  And fuck you.  We’re going with Den.” And back & forth, rinse & repeat, as they say.  At least I imagine.  I could be […]Read More

The Villaineers – The Villain Years

The Villaineers – The Villain Years – EP Review “We’re called The Villaineers.” “Huh?  What’s that?  The Villain Years?” “No.  I said The VILLAINEERS.” “Yeah, that’s what I said, The Villain Years!” “Christ.  NO!  I said the…ugh…never mind.” At least, that’s how I imagine the name of this EP got created…I have no definitive proof […]Read More

Catlea – Bones – EP Review Believe me when I tell ya, I’ve seen the numbers…the last thing that Catlea needs from me is any kind of confirmation – this lady is already a bona fide world superstar in the making y’all!  She’s recently dropped the Bones EP, which is comprised of three pre-released singles […]Read More
