t dot est & maga – MAGICICADA

t dot est & maga – MAGICICADA – EP Review From what I understand, which is generally very little in life overall if I’m being truthful with ya, this EP is a collaboration between t dot est (who handles the music stuff) and maga (who handles the vocals and lyrics).  Beyond that, you probably know […]Read More

Boy Hero – Year One

Boy Hero – Year One – EP Review “Post-Hardcore, but make it anime.” As the opening track “Anteiku” started up with such a pleasant, unassuming, non-aggressive vibe, I still braced myself for the burst of energy that would theoretically be coming right around the corner at any possible moment, given Boy Hero’s self-described take on […]Read More

Jo Potter – Rocks

Jo Potter – Rocks – EP Review Ahhh you gotta love it.  The last time I reviewed Jo’s music, I talked about the risk of having songs appear twice on one record when she added in three acoustic versions of tunes she had in the lineup of her album called Tonight.  I’ve always been the […]Read More

Sandi Glowe – is it the past that affects my will? – EP Review Ayyy whaddya know – one of the most reliably badass independent labels I know of has introduced us to more music I’m interested in!  Who would’ve thought?  #ThankYouForBeingYouAnalogueTrash That’s legitimate praise by the way…not that anyone out there reading these pages […]Read More

Zachary Campos – Profound Knowledge

Zachary Campos – Profound Knowledge – EP Review Part of me was wondering if I’d be able to fit in one last review before I head out on vacation, but then I remembered I had this Zachary Campos EP and that I could find an extra five minutes to spare.  Dude ain’t exactly building his […]Read More

Mik Dagger – Deadly Love

Mik Dagger – Deadly Love – EP Review Well here we go!  Always great to reconnect with Stereo Era Records and hear what our homie Matt Byron has discovered next.  Dude’s got highly reliable taste in tunes and he’s smart about where he chooses to invest his time.  Results have varied a little bit throughout […]Read More
