The Ann Wilson Thing – EP#2 Focus

The Ann Wilson Thing – EP#2 Focus – EP Review Sometimes I genuinely get to give my head a shake and realize I’m far luckier than most people I know in having a vocation I truly love…and those moments usually come along with discovering something in the independent-scene that I would have never expected to […]Read More

Lockjaw Smile – The Jester

Lockjaw Smile – The Jester – EP Review Someone has clearly infiltrated the Lockjaw Smile camp…and I’d assume that it must be The Jester himself.  Of course…that’s just a theory I’m working with…but talk about a suspicious looking album-cover would you?  Looks harmless enough right? Well…I count four heads whereby anything you read or look […]Read More

Katrina Charles – Where This Began

Katrina Charles – Where This Began – EP Review Beautiful sounds from a beautiful place…good ol’ Seattle…my home away from home.  While Katrina Charles might have a different sound than what I’m typically used to reaching out to Seattle for – I’ve gotta say, she’s put together some gorgeous melodies and confident songs on her […]Read More

Cody Webb – Cody Webb

Cody Webb – Cody Webb – EP Review If I wanted to…I could allow myself to admit that what I’m listening to would be classified as Country-music…I could.  Of course…it’s modern-day Country-music – so advantage to Jer @ SBS, I can always pretend I’m listening to Pop-music…which I’m slightly more comfortable with admitting to myself […]Read More

James Reed – Feed The Monster

James Reed – Feed The Monster – EP Review For better or worse, what you’ll respect most about the James Reed approach to hip-hop is that it’s inarguably a new one.  Over five new tracks, Reed takes you into the avant-garde side of the genre, pulling in a couple sounds you wouldn’t expect to find […]Read More

1FM – Wish You Well – EP Review Is this just one of those extraordinary days in my life where losing isn’t an option no matter what genre I seem to find myself listening to?  Methinks so at this point…amazing music continues to pour in through the speakers at every second here today and I’m […]Read More

Joe Lecrivain – Sing Along – EP Review Here is some real untapped, raw talent.  Joe Lecrivain – let me be the first to say…you’re the reason I get out of bed each day…you’re what this show is all about for me.  Pick any of the inspiring phrases that the televised talent shows use over […]Read More

A Truth Called Nothing – The Orange Orangutan’s Revenge

A Truth Called Nothing – The Orange Orangutan’s Revenge – EP Review Well…just as I’d felt in the music of their last record and made predictions about A Truth Called Nothing – they’ve held true to their end of the bargain by continually keeping us guessing about which direction, twist & turn will come to […]Read More

K$NG X Jason Rayn – 2 Rings

K$NG X Jason Rayn – 2 Rings – EP Review It definitely has nothing to do with these two guys running out of sounds and ideas…the combination of K$NG X Jason Rayn definitely have no shortage of those.  And it’s not anything to do with the confidence on the mic or the writing of the […]Read More

GiANT, The Artist – The Ocean

GiANT, The Artist – The Ocean – EP Review Certainly haven’t forgotten the impact this mixtape-master released the last time out when we reviewed GiANT, The Artist’s record HiberNation – that album smashed all-expectations and of course, raised-up the hopes and expectations for what might come next from this innovative creator.  Over nine-new tracks on […]Read More
