In pop music, it’s important to try out different tempos and speeds to find where your niche is as a performer, and it would appear that Teenear has found something that fits marvelously well in the new single and music video “Ain’t Mine” this month. Where a lot of her …

Often times in hip-hop, the skillset of the rapper is so good (or bad) that the instrumental construct behind them feels like an afterthought, but in his new single/video combo “V Roy,” Pesh Milli is aligning the complicated instrumentation of lo-fi R&B with a fiery vocal execution that can stand …

There’s a lot of history behind every note of music you hear in a song by The Dead Daisies, and between all of the musicians who comprise this band, you could make a strong argument for there not even being a contemporary rock n’ roll genre without their influence. As …

Big, old-fashioned retro grooves are making quite a comeback in hip-hop at the moment, and it doesn’t take a degree in the fine arts to appreciate why this is the case when checking out the music video for this July. Staggeringly rigid in comparison to the overwhelmingly fluid approach to …

Making a slow jam with a real punch to it can be a pain, especially when you’re limited by the aesthetical rules of a scene, but neither of these issues appears to be any sort of a problem for the likes of Vanity Wyze and Sonny King in the new …

It’s 2022, and if you’re a singer/songwriter trying to make a name for yourself in the American underground, you’ve got to be a lot bolder than you did some ten years ago. The competition is thick and the pressure to do something original is major, and perhaps inspired by these …

Neon cowboy hats, broken instruments, and a whole lot of sweat marked the Sinclair as alternative rock band The Wrecks played to a sold out crowd in Cambridge, MA on Saturday, July 9th as part of their “Better Than Ever Tour”. Joined by fellow collaborators Mothé and girlhouse, the night …

The defining point of the indie music scene is being able to find something unique that you can’t find in the mainstream. Indie music is for experimenting and breaking boundaries that people think music needs to have. What I like about “Gardener” by the band Long Neck is that it’s …

Circus No. 9 refuses to be pinned down. You certainly can’t label them a traditional bluegrass outfit as several of the songs on their new self-titled album utilize instruments familiar to the style in decidedly non-traditional ways. You can’t say, however, that they aren’t a bluegrass band. They are. They …

A truly euphoric sound, Sole Oceanna delivers a powerful message with “Not Feelin’ It.” Dance rock, pop, hip-hop, and more all filter into the fray, for the track swirls about in a magical way. Everything about it stuns, from the sheer size of the atmosphere to the rather playful grooves …

Black Sweater is a two-piece band based out of San Diego, formed by brothers Caleb and Sam Sheffield. Together, they’ve been steadily releasing singles since 2021, all the way up to today’s song on review, “Moves Like You.” The single is a soft, smooth indie rock piece that’s based on …

When you think of punk rock hotbeds, you might think of cities like New York, NY or San Francisco, CA. But you probably wouldn’t think of Oahu, HI. Well one band is looking to change that, their name is Coliseum St. and they’re about to put Hawaii’s third largest island …
