t dot est – MAD

t dot est – MAD – Album Review I suppose the question is – is it possible that MAD could be better than the MAGICICADA EP?  Anything is possible, even if it seems improbable, right?  I already felt like that was one of the better records I heard in 2024 after reviewing the set of […]Read More

Timeseven – “Without You”

Timeseven – “Without You” – Single Review Been quite the productive year for Timeseven… A good one too for that matter.  “When You’re Home” would still definitely be up there with the better tracks I’ve heard this year, and the single we just reviewed a couple weeks back called “When We Were Young” was also […]Read More

Ray Bally – Crisscrossing Boundaries

Ray Bally – Crisscrossing Boundaries – Album Review It’s not often that you stumble across an album where the title track is only twenty-one seconds long!

Good Spells – “All In”

Good Spells – “All In” – Single Review There are very few artists and bands out there in the world that could rival the sheer amount of identity in what Good Spells creates.  If we’re talkin’ about consistency, this dude personifies it.  Whether it’s the work ethic, the steady production, or the sound itself, Good […]Read More

Jesus Saves – Climbing Mountains Album Sampler

Jesus Saves – Climbing Mountains – Album Sampler/Singles Review Ohhhhh…what’s this?  Jesus-based music even a heathen like myself might be interested in?  Cool!

Big Sexy – “Pretty Girl Blues” – Single Review It can be a damn good thing when you find all the right pieces in all the right places. I was pretty damn impressed with the first single I’d heard from Big Sexy at the end of September, and if you’re asking me, I’d tell ya […]Read More
