Jungo Benko – Jungo Benko – EP Review Very interesting assembly of tracks here from Tel Aviv’s Jungo Benko! Gotta admit, I’m not too familiar with the Israel music scene right now, but if this is any indication of what’s happening there, I might just pack up and move there for a bit. Jungo Benko’s […]Read More
Patrick James Clark – Letters To Beatrice – EP Review Alright…Patrick James Clark! You and I sir…we’ve got something to discuss before I get into reviewing your music sir…yep, that’s right mister, not another word from me about your excellent songwriting until we resolve this beef I’ve got with ya… You see my friend…it’s just […]Read More
We Are Galilee – Arrival – EP Review You know…oddly enough…I think if I was to look back through our entire history there would be less than a handful of reviews on what I’d consider to fit into the ‘dance-music’ category. With the partitions in this genre being so extremely-edged, parameters like electronic/dance music can […]Read More
Dimestore Prophets – Be Yourself – EP Review Boy-O…have you ever gone to sleep with nothing but the intention of seeing the clock spin forward and find yourself in the throes of another day…only to awaken merely hours later, compellingly refreshed like you had spent the entire winter hibernating and conserving your energy? Cause that’s […]Read More
Nomadic Attic – Nomadic Attic – EP Review Now here’s something – hear something by Nomadic Attic! On this self-titled you’ll find five songs of true atmospheric brilliance, all unique in their own right, all coming together perfectly as one on this new self-titled EP. There’s a captivating, almost hypnotic quality that can’t be mistaken […]Read More
What a wicked ride through five tracks! Da Butcher has got himself a flow much similar to one of my favorite rappers/hip-hop artists of our generation, similar to our very own member of the Vancouver-based group crew, Swollen Members – he rhymes with incredible thought and skill, just like Prev-1. It’s the tone and confidence […]Read More
This new three song set from Imaginator is brutally heavy and built to destroy everything that can’t handle ‘loud’ in its path. It makes me stop and pause, reflect on how far I’ve personally come in music-reviewing for just a second…five years ago, this might have been ‘too much’ for me, too aggressive sounding, too […]Read More
Bigfoot Barefoot – 1216 – EP Review Smooth! Bigfoot Barefoot’s new EP, 1216 goes down easy with a funked-out crossover sound that’s somewhere between Stevie Wonder and Dire Straits…or maybe John Cougar. This completely DIY project is a respectable one for sure, there’s some great efforts here and some promising tunes. I definitely appreciate the […]Read More
Velvet Ashes – Live From The Attic – EP Review Life may very well imitate art, but it’s still pretty damn rare to find an album title that truly matches the feeling of a band or artist. This one does completely; Live From The Attic from Zurich-based band Velvet Ashes sounds so intimate, warm, relatable and […]Read More
Tome – Nemesis – EP Review Always interesting to me, is the synchronicity of music & life…how it all comes together so clearly at times… No sooner had I just put down the phone from having a conversation with Tyler Mayfield, lead singer for Vancouver band Lung Flower about their own heavy-rock sound, when I shortly […]Read More
