Album Reviews

There’s nothing quite like watching a song come to life inside of a recording studio, and in the video for their new single “Lucky 7” rockers Jane n’ the Jungle offer us a fly-on-the-wall experience fans of heavy music are certain to enjoy. Although structured as a showcase for the …

No better track exemplifies everything that Ten Penny Gypsy’s sophomore album Fugitive Heart does right than the intro record, “Making Headway.” Consisting of the dynamic duo Justin Patterson and Laura Lynn Danley with assistance from former Neil Young band member Anthony Crawford, the ten-track effort showcased some of the best …

Crisp and brilliantly positioned as to draw the most color out of the vocal and percussion as possible, the acoustic guitar part in Mason Embers’ “Rush” was what initially made me fall in love with the song and its music video, but it’s not the only attribute that makes this …

“Sorry seems to be the hardest word and it seems / It’s something you’re not very good at / You’ve got to vent it out – nothing just goes away” whispers a melodic voice on the other side of Ready, Steady, Die!’s new single and music video “Vent,” these lyrics …

In his latest single and music video to see widespread release around the globe, Chad Rico is all about highlighting the self-control he’s cultivated inside of the studio, and it’s my opinion that a song like “New Level” is probably the best vehicle to show us how disciplined he’s truly …

The three piece Elsewhere defies easy labels. You can’t peg them as any one thing. There are pop textures, heavy rock guitar, singer/songwriter sensibilities, and progressive flavor present in the latest single “The Pledge”.

However, after some time, Warner departed from the band, choosing instead to pursue a …

Spiral Vortex comes from a school of musical thinking that is all about two major concepts: subverting expectation and always maintaining an element of surprise. If the cover art of the group’s new album Prisma stands as any indication, the group is about ushering a post-modern version of classic, Hispanic-tinged …

While animated and presented in sepia as if to suggest an ancient quality not made clear to us in the song itself, the video for Milquetoast & Co.’s new single “Hummingbirds” is an imagistic treat that doesn’t deliver its eccentricities to us in limited doses. We’re brought into what feels …

Lucky Harmon’s intent on cutting loose and having a little fun in his new music video with Bboy Fidget, “Party Life,” and whether you’re able to get on their level of late night exceptionalism or not, the fun is more than provocative to put it quite mildly. Lucky Harmony delivers …

The thrust of “Beaming Right Up” is indeed alive and well in the groove that sits beneath the distorted melodic volley driving home “Communion” this December, but if you think Makes My Blood Dance simply repurposed the setup for their debut in this fourth official single, you’d better think again. …
