CeeGramz – Transexual Tender – EP Review Rap can be such an incredible genre of music. I’d never be the guy to say it’s all I listen to every day, but it’s certainly been a part of my life since about the age of seven years old. Combine an intense early love of hip-hop with […]Read More
Mercury & The Architects – Mercury & The Architects – EP Review We’re beginning to develop a semi-regular cast of characters here at the pages of sleepingbagstudios…anyone else noticing that? Mercury & The Architects first appeared on our pages with the lead single from their soon-to-be-released self-titled EP called “Philosophy Of Hope” which appears in […]Read More
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! My brother’s name is actually Mathew Morgan as well – just one less T…how bizarre is that? So, completely due to his gentle approach and a melodic acoustic pop/folk sound, I hereby dub the […]Read More
World Color – World Color – EP Review This is a completely gorgeous combination of talent. The way World Color has started off their self-titled EP couldn’t possibly be a sweeter introduction; the opening tune “The Mighty Hero” is a fresh sounding, electro-acoustic pairing that sounds bright, bold and new to the ears as their […]Read More
Sir Cadian Rhythm – Sir Cadian Rhythm – EP Review Watch out for this five-piece band from Long Island…this is a HOT EP! Get out your over-mittens and push play on this set of five songs that blaze by all-too-quickly from Sir Cadian Rhythm’s new EP – this self-titled EP is STUFFED full of tight-hooks, […]Read More
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
