Stir Of Echoes – Echoes – EP Review UK-based alternative-rock band Stir Of Echoes have made some interesting choices in the direction of sound on their new EP, Echoes. Like one part Lou Reed…another Tragically Hip…maybe a dash of Cold War Kids…all artists & bands with a largely unrefined feel to their catalogues; and all […]Read More
Luca Bash – Single Drops – EP Review Definitely a tough one to review…I gotta give Luca Bash some real credit for challenging my ears and brain for true acceptance with this new EP. On the one hand, there’s a beautifully gifted songwriter and musician…on the other is one struggling to find the perfect tones […]Read More
Souleye – Identified Time – EP Review Something about the music of Souleye is very familiar to me…I mean, I’d kick myself hard if this is where I discover I’m old now and losing a grip on my memory’s ability to remember our past experiences here at sleepingbagstudios…but I don’t think that’s it necessarily. I […]Read More
Matthew Morgan – Empathy For Inanimate Objects – EP Review Oddly enough, Matthew Morgan and I have something strange in common!

Matt Byron – Next Time I’ll Know – EP Review The opening track of Matt Byron’s new EP Next Time I’ll Know, “Sleep & Dream Of Monsters,” reminded me instantly of the hearing the debut album from Orgy…somewhat of the lo-fi Nine Inch Nails as well opening into Pretty Hate Machine back in the day. […]Read More
Rico Jeezus – A Misanthropist Heaven – EP Review You know what I appreciate? Something NEW. My own work & writing included – independent music journalism…hell, even mainstream writers too…we all jump to words like new, unique, authentic, genuine when describing an artist or band’s sound – but it’s truly rare that we find those […]Read More
Last Time Only – Past+Present=No Future – EP Review Sweet acoustic rhythms collected over the past several years by solo artist Jared Woodruff, who goes by Last Time Only in releasing his music.
