In a great year like this year was for independent music…my shortlist for this year’s top-10 was already bursting at the seams by the time it came time to add The Affectionates to it. I am very guarded when it comes to the most recent releases that make a list like this, whether or not […]Read More
Grand Tradition – Your Wish – EP Review Confession…I don’t often make a point of looking at how a band/artist tend to define their sound genre-wise until I’ve usually posted-up my thoughts as they’ve come to me naturally…even in those moments it’s more of a confirmation thing…finding out details after the event doesn’t ever change […]Read More
Swami Lushbeard – Blood Is Sicker Than Water – EP Review Been treating myself over these past couple days…taking it easy on the regular schedule and diving deeper into some records that I know have popped up throughout the scene from bands I know to be reliably strong with brand-new tunes out there. Swami Lushbeard […]Read More
Aztec – Black Art And Star Charts – EP Review You’ve already heard my comments about looking forward to this EP from just about every corner we’ve been in on the internet from our SBS Podcast to our show SBS Live This Week…once word got out that Vancouver Island’s indie-band AZTEC was getting close to […]Read More
The Affectionates – What To Build, Who To Destroy – EP Review You know…I’m supposed to be writing up a press-release for a completely different artist right now. Here’s the challenge I put forth to YOU though…YOU go ahead and put on the first cut from The Affectionates What To Build, Who To Destroy EP […]Read More
Whiskey Sharts – #2 – EP Review I don’t think that there’s anyone out there that could accuse the members of the Whiskey Sharts of being the kind of people that don’t follow through on a good joke. It is impossible not to laugh, smile, guffaw, spit-take or smirk whilst listening to the highly-refined ideas […]Read More
Dino – Pure – EP Review I can get behind this for sure. I had to take a moment and think about how rare I feel the connection to modern-day rap and appreciate that it was an audible element of what makes Dino’s new Pure EP wildly entertaining and engaging to listen to. What Dino […]Read More
Dansad – Cowboy – EP Review The internet-savvy Danil Sad began to take his electronic-music and production talents out into the online world from his home-base in Russia…and as a result of putting himself out there further into the world to bring his music to life – he ended up with excellent collaborations assisting him […]Read More
Rahm – Between The Lines – EP Review After having reviewed the title-track & lead single from the Between The Lines EP early on in July this year…I should have expected the diverse & versatile range of ideas that would fill-out the rest of the EP once it was released. Over the course of five […]Read More
MM3 – Fallout – EP Review Not quite sure how far back four of the six tunes from the new MM3 EP go in the band’s timeline, but Fallout is advertised as 2 new tracks to rock alongside what I’m guessing are slightly older tunes revitalized for this new recording. If anything…what I am sure […]Read More
