Following the snarl of first single “Nothing Ever Changes,” Melbourne’s RVG don’t look to be lightening the mood any as they slice into “Squid.” The tale of body horror is bathed in…
A couple of years back I put on a show Upstate NY that found Elkhorn’s Jesse Sheppard sparring with Turner Williams Jr. Williams was just off the collaborative jaunt he and Elkhorn…
Another RSTB fave pulling back the curtain on a single today. The new album from Spencer Cullum has been trickling out a steady stream of necessities over the past few months, from…
The last two Triptides records were so guitar heavy that it takes a moment to recognize them as they ease into the new robes of Starlight. Draped in a ‘70s velvet sheen,…
The second single from the upcoming new Cory Hanson album shifts away from the heft of the first and back towards the more contemplative country that’s been a hallmark of his solo…

When Anti-Fade and Upset The Rhythm come together for a release, you know its going to be good. The Toads sprung from tragedy, when Billy Gardner (Smarts, The Living Eyes) found himself…
As I mentioned with the first single out of the new Edena Gardens, it’s a real nice surprise to have this band pounce back so quickly into new works. The group’s eponymous…
Smote’s Genog works as an imaginary soundtrack to a lost mystical tome. In the same way that artists like Bo Hansson entwined themselves with the works of Tolkien in the ‘70s, it’s…
A second single from the upcoming Cindy makes a compelling case for the San Francisco band. More compact than the winding “A Trumpet On A Hillside,” the new single captures the methodical…
