Marvel Mike – V

Marvel Mike – V – EP Review Mannnnnnnnnnn…if y’all knew how much I hummed and hawed about putting Marvel Mike’s May The 4th Be With You EP on our top ten list back in 2021, you’d be as shocked as I am that it’s taken this long to get to his new record V.  No […]Read More

Blacklight Hotel – Morse Code

Blacklight Hotel – Morse Code – EP Review This was way harder to assess than I thought it would be if I’m being entirely honest.  If you had asked me prior to listening, if Blacklight Hotel would come out with a kickass new record the next time they put something out, I’d have told you […]Read More

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? Some of that good ol’ relatable Canadian stuff eh?  Nothing like […]Read More

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 – Brimborium

Dadanaut – Brimborium – EP Review And here we are…we have arrived.  This is the third installment of our recent explorations into the music of Dadanaut this year…which I suppose means the rest of you out there have some catching up to do!  As to whether or not these latest records were intended to be […]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

Dadanaut – Phantasmagorien

Dadanaut – Phantasmagorien – EP Review Now this here…I really like. Let’s not get too far ahead of ourselves though.  In this instance, I’m specifically talking about the gateway into Dadanaut’s Phantasmagorien EP, called “Eisenkernspule.”  You see folks…I’m a twenty-four hours a day kinda guy – I’m sure many of you have picked up on […]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
