Eric Cannata - “Holding Onto The Holy” Review
January 29, 2025
The Boy Who Cried Wolf wasn’t ignored by his peers because they were shocked about what he’d told them or because the message was unfamiliar. People who had heard him before had simply gotten no joy. Facing a disaster may have brought them together. But with so many…
I See Ghøsts - “Goddamn Fine” Reviewed
January 26, 2025
Who would’ve thought that rock would become one of the few styles of modern music to talk to you on the level of how things actually are? To say that rock has always been a soundtrack for protest is to narrow its importance. But it’s not completely untrue.

Castle Finn - “On The Vine” Review

Life can be a tragedy or the continuation of an endlessly repetitive story. Each young artist and each new generation has to believe that they are inventing languages with which to talk about life. They need to trust that every new detail that they come across is their…
Shaven Primates - “Chasing the Dragon” Review
January 14, 2025

The Ram - “Unbound” Review
December 22, 2024

December 22, 2024

Laurence Warner - “Ctrl-Alt-Rap” Review
December 19, 2024
When and if they write the biography or direct the book, your time on this planet will defined by whichever idiot was president or king, by whichever soon-to-be-dated technology was dazzling the natives and by the music being blasted through the radios. Nearly everything you…
