Sadcult – Everything You Hate

Sadcult – Everything You Hate – EP Review These guys are SO GRUNGE that the last thing they’d ever do is say hello to a critical hack like me on the way in the door…fuck that shit…gotta keep those feelings nicely detached & a flannel-level of cool intact.  The joke’s on them – 99% of […]Read More

Noho Fidel And _______ – Collaboratorium

Noho Fidel And _______ – Collaboratorium – EP Review “Honesty is valued more than kindness.”  #AmenToThat Lemme put good ol’ Noho Fidel at ease here, and assure the dude that’s the only way that I know how to work…that’s how this whole system/machine here runs.  However…experience has taught me that you get a whole lot […]Read More

Paul de Leon – Younger Years

Paul de Leon – Younger Years – EP Review Absolutely STOKED to have this man back in the spotlight and his music coming through our speakers once again.  Obviously the main concern here is the fact that it’s been about three years and I’ve promoted Paul de Leon’s music about just as much as he […]Read More

Forest City & Friends – Sol

Forest City & Friends – Sol – EP Review Feels like it’s been forever since we last had Forest City & Friends on our pages, when in fact it was just a couple years back…they’re basically right on time with a new release, crankin’ out material at a steady rate that no one, including me, […]Read More

The Rhythm Bullies – Surfdom

The Rhythm Bullies – Surfdom – EP Review It’d just be downright strange to not hear at least a little twangin’ from the ol’ guitars if you’re gonna call your record Surfdom, right?  No worries on that – The Rhythm Bullies have got you covered right off the drop as their new EP begins with […]Read More

Captain Highside – Season By Season

Captain Highside – Season By Season – EP Review I really dig people like good ol’ Captain Highside right here.  Being rooted in the independent music-scene is such a wonderful thing y’all…truly…rather than simply run into established artists & bands all the time, in doing what we’ve been doing here for nearly a decade now, […]Read More

Radio Mafia – Don’t Think About It / “Preacher” /

Radio Mafia – Don’t Think About It – EP + Bonus Singles “Preacher” / “Pyre” Review Now…lemme check the rulebook here for a second…just how many personalities can one band have? Given the fact that I’ve got tunes from three separate years here, you’d figure the whole multiple-personalities of their music-thing would somehow correspond to […]Read More

Duhon – Sorry Summer

Duhon – Sorry Summer – EP Review This guy! I believe…if I’m not mistaken…I first crossed paths with Duhon’s music somewhere back in 2020.  Who knows what I was writing about or what was goin’ on at the time…all that stuff gets fuzzy over the years – but I never forget the music or the […]Read More

ATLS PLAZA N.D. – Manu

ATLS PLAZA N.D. – Manu – EP Review Towards the end of last year, we had the pleasure of checking out this curious musical oddity known as ATLS PLAZA N.D. in a review of the ME/NOT ME EP, and discovered a quick connection to the amount of authenticity & creativity taking place within the multi-dimensional […]Read More

Sid Hagan & Marvin Taylor – スワンプシング

Sid Hagan & Marvin Taylor – スワンプシング – Album Review I am…far too uneducated to have any clue as to how I would pronounce this title…but from what I can tell through the ol’ translator online, it means “Swamp Thing.”  As much as I’d love to say that helps just clear it all up, it […]Read More
