album reviews

A bullet of AURAL TERRORISM. The sound of ANGER and DISILLUSIONMENT. A HAND GRENADE thrown at the MUSIC ESTABLISHMENT. Wait a second. This is just bad rock ‘n’ roll. You lied to me through the medium ...

Chrystyna Marie has a unique and powerful sound. Her music blends blues, rock, and country, and it sounds fabulous. As you listen to her tunes on this new EP will you find that each song kind of sound...

When I first heard Lana Del Rey's music, I was fourteen years old, a freshman in high school. In those days, I was underdeveloped physically, mentally, and emotionally. My primary focuses were school,...

A few months ago I reviewed the first available track from Andrew Goldring’s Morning Light EP, which became available on July 1st. “Cosmic Dance” is definitely a great song and I have continued to lis...

Music is an art genre that is very "hit or miss," and nothing proves this better than the music career of legendary artists in the rock industry. Most of the time, when we think of major bands, we thi...

Ellie Goulding used to be one of my two “current” artists. (For those who don’t know, I generally only get really into two bands or artists at once. It used to be Ellie Goulding and Rise Against in my...

Growing up, 80s music was played religiously at home. Admittedly, I didn't enjoy it too much during my younger years. However, towards my later teen years, I really began to realise how crucial this e...

From the first note of “Creston,” the first song on Adam Winn’s new EP, you’ll be hooked. This singer/songwriter seems to have a knack for making amazing music and telling interesting stories in his l...

Opening Opinion: 9.5 My hype for this album was very high. It’s kind of a hard feeling to describe. I had heard enough singles from the album to know that it was dope. However what wasn’t apparent to ...

Dry the River was a short lived band. I have yet to run into anyone who knows them, which is disappointing considering just how perfect their album "Shallow Bed" is. I discovered this album a few year...

Before one can answer the question, “Whatever happened to Les Techno?” one would need to know who the heck Les Techno is. According to his bio, Les Techno is a guy that has done a lot in and with musi...

Those of us who lived our teenage years or young adult years in the 90s have been in a musical drought for quite some time. If your experience has been anything like my own, then in recent years you’v...

The Documentary 2 Opening Opinion 9.9/10 The Documentary 2.5 Opening Opinion 10/10 Okay, so this is technically a double in depth review… but let me kill two birds with one stone. These albums really ...

If you take a moment to listen to this new EP from 20-year-old Matteo Scher the first thing you’ll likely think of when the piano keys are struck and Scher starts to croon is Billy Joel. This kid has ...

I don’t think that jam bands are as popular now as they once were, but I could be wrong. In the 70s they were all the rage, and now you can still find fans of the old school jam bands, like The Gratef...

For those so far uninitiated, "powerviolence" is a hyper aggressive style of music taking its main cues from 80s hardcore punk, grindcore, and, oddly enough, certain styles of progressive rock. This m...

Screaming is a national art in Finland. They even have a men's choir (30 members strong) that shouts everything from pop hits to national anthems. But then Finland is also the country with the stronge...
