Nalan – 59:1 (fiftynine to one)
The thing that most rockstars must be a bore to meet in real life. Do you actually think you’re going to meet one in the supermarket and that they’ll be the same way that they are on stage? Do you think they’ll start telling you…

Satellite Williams – Tallahassee
Great rock bands are nothing if not gracious, highly entertaining hosts letting random people walk into their homes for a few minutes at a time. Get all those people to feel welcome, and make them feel like you’re letting them in…
PHI-108 - “Conditions of Re-entry” Review
February 16, 2026

Tarul – In the dark (Of all the stolen faces)

HÜGGE – True Love
HÜGGE sounds like Kings of Leon do after a few too many pints of hometown moonshine. Sadly, those are recordings that we’ll never hear on account of the American band being too cheap to splurge on an engineer to track their barn rehearsals. But…

Royal Blush – Butterflies on the Grave
Yes, you’re right! Your powers of perception are very strong, and, indeed, there is a large market for breakup songs. But it’s always been this way. And, arguably, there are no other types of events that deserve the…
