Nick Manka – “This Game” – Single Review Well would ya look at that…another part of the alumni in A Vintage Year is still out there makin’ the magic happen – this time, it’s Nick Manka.  Another former member of the band, Jordan Barney, whom we ran into through the solo project called Becoming Human, […]Read More

numeral – “HIDEOUS”

numeral – “HIDEOUS” – Single Review Now this right here pretty much sounds like the soundtrack to the present day if you ask me. The Berlin/Bern-based music producer/artist known as numeral sure creates an ominous beginning to the brand-new single called “HIDEOUS,” which follows the Primeval EP released in the summer of last year.  You […]Read More

Jacob Brand – “Beauty To Recognize”

Jacob Brand – “Beauty To Recognize” – Single Review So let’s see here…Jacob Brand from right here out of our own backyard in British Columbia… Ultimately, I think there is usually a couple things that are true of each and every song out there to a degree, and a contrast between what will appeal & […]Read More

Katie Underwood – “Feel So Good”

Katie Underwood – “Feel So Good” – Single Review Ayyy…when it’s right, it’s right, you know what I mean? I am going to assume…given the name, given the promixity, given the sound of her voice…that Katie Underwood would be the same Katie Underwood that I learned about…hmm…nearly a decade ago now I suppose…back when I […]Read More

Lenny Williams – “Baby I’m Sorry”

Lenny Williams – “Baby I’m Sorry” – Single Review “I know you’re thinking, is it love or lust?” Well that’s good Lenny…at least we’re on the same page.

Pakco F. “B75571 (Wave Runner)” – Single Review Ahhhh music-scene, I tell ya…every time I think I’ve seen or heard it all, you prove that I haven’t. We rappin’ bout shoes here Pakco F.?  Is that what we’re doin’ here? I get more curious than most people in my field do.  When I don’t know […]Read More

MELØ – “Don’t Change”

MELØ – “Don’t Change” – Single Review Great to hear things working out this well for MELØ, I dig this dude. It’s crazy though y’all…I gotta admit, I love how little I know about music sometimes.  I think us critic-types tend to get to a point where we think we’ve heard it all, or even […]Read More

Becoming Human – “Goodbye To When”

Becoming Human – “Goodbye To When” – Single Review I remember towards the end of last year when I stumbled across this kickass solo-project from artist Jordan Barney, called Becoming Human and a single he’d released called “Scars.”  Having a listen to that track was not only one of my favorite finds of last year, […]Read More

Marcellus – “Notice”

Marcellus – “Notice” – Single Review Shaken, not stirred…as the ol’ saying goes. Marcellus knows how to make a drink y’all, which you’ll see happenin’ directly onscreen in the new video he’s got put together to support his single “Notice” – and from what you’ll hear pouring through your speakers, it’s clear he knows how […]Read More
