Zhaojiabang – “Shen Pian” – Single Review What can I say?  I enjoy being right just as much as the next person…especially when it comes to music.

Collins And Streiss – “Change”

Collins And Streiss – “Change” – Single Review Y’all know me…I’m a big fan of you fine people using your platform in every way you can to say something.  Ultimately I prefer it when what that ‘something’ is, isn’t always about chicks’n’cars – I think there’s a much more altruistic approach that can be taken […]Read More

John Keenan – Late Bloomer – Album Sampler/Singles Review Just passed the five-year anniversary of the first time we listened to John Keenan’s music…way back in the day, back in ’13 through the album Imagination To The Nation, which we reviewed here at SBS.  While it’s easy to point out that these milestones are obviously […]Read More

Cicada 3301 – “Music Mix” – Single Review Over the course of our history making it, music has continually evolved in several directions.  Regardless of anyone’s opinion on the current state of where it’s at in any given point in time – we’re a heck of a long way from where it all began.  There […]Read More

Acharya – “Tilt”

Acharya – “Tilt” – Single Review Oooooooooooo!  I’m really liking this! From the first initial seconds of the new single “Tilt” by Acharya, I honestly thought I was about to be in for some Post-Punk/New Wave/80’s-influenced music for a brief moment.  Quickly revealing itself to be much more widespread than any one style, the blend […]Read More

Scott Kirby – “Something To Move”

Scott Kirby – “Something To Move” – Single Review Definitely not an artist I’ve forgotten – Scott Kirby made a solid gold impression with a tenderized tune he put out last year called “Love Is Just” that showed the depth of his passion & songwriting were going to continually lead him to excellent results when […]Read More

Warm Chord Music – “Haunted Dreams”

Warm Chord Music – “Haunted Dreams” – Single Review We might be in for one of them ol’ redesigned sounds here… From the looks of things, Jay Croft, the musical mastermind behind the tunes of Warm Chord Music, is working with a few new people in the mix.  I’m just going by what I’m looking […]Read More

The Owl-Eyes – “I Could Careless”

The Owl-Eyes – “I Could Careless” – Single Review Well…from a wordsmith angle, I’m definitely interested based on the title alone…let’s see if this ends up being grammatically correct after all…could certainly be interpreted that way… …and there the hooks are.  Nope, wrong spelling in that context. …wait.  Are they trolling us here?  Is this […]Read More
