Little King is a band with a backstory that astounds many, and confounds a few. It was 25 years ago, that Ryan Rosoff decided it was time to branch out on his own from his prior band, and find his inner royalty. Since that time, Little King has gone through multiple iterations, and even a […]
At once reminiscent of the growling tonal menace of The Stooges and something even further left of the dial, Eagle Johnson’s fretwork in the new album The Last Gun is probably the biggest reason it left me hypnotized upon hearing it for the first time. For the past ten years, good guitar rock has been inconceivably hard […]
Indie rock’s greatest moments have always been born of experimentations rebellious and reckless alike, and Paul Rocha’s new LP Apophenia seems to embody a little bit of both inside of its ten captivating tracks. From the haunting, Beat Happening-style “Sister Silhouette” to the fiercer “Sweet Marianne,” Apophenia sees Rocha dabbling in poetic complexities more than he is instrumental virtuosities, […]
When it comes to maintaining consistency in content and energy, the guys in Pistols At Dawn are experts. Any project you listen to by them feels as concise and focused as the last, and their latest EP, Nocturnal Youth, is no exception. The four tracks are all extremely well-produced, and they each feel inevitably destined […]
Doug Kistner’s “Don’t Look Down” is the latest single from the New Jersey singer and keyboardist. Kistner has an extensive history working as a touring musician who has shared stages with a variety of acts such as John Waite, Chicago’s Danny Seraphine, the Trans-Siberian Orchestra, as well as Blood Sweat and Tears. He has a […]
2020 was probably the most devastating year rock music has endured in a long time, and it had almost nothing to do with the prime talent rocking the American underground these days. One of my favorite indie acts at the moment, Greye has a new album in So Far So Good out this summer that seeks to […]
The youth are the future, and the music industry, in particular, seems directly affected by this more than most areas of entertainment with the ever-changing fads and social media platforms ebbing and flowing harder than the tide. With the colossal rise of youth musicians like Billie Eilish, Noah Cyrus, and Lil Nas X in the […]
Attaining a new lease on life in the wake of already going through the wringer that is the music industry once before can be as enlightening as it might be daunting. For singer-songwriter-drummer-bandleader Tedi Brunetti (talk about a multi-hyphenate), that first go-around happened to take place in the 70s and 80s-era of New York City […]
When starting up Izzie’s Caravan’s debut LP Blow The Lid, the intentions are put on deep display and the shots are called (literally in some songs with the use of gunshot sound effects) loudly and proudly — the opening track “Roadkill Rita” is an unabashedly rollicking good time and a fantastically efficient way to showcase […]
The newest single by multimedia sensation, Sarantos is “I Never Catch The Train.” Sarantos is a one of a kind, you could say. In addition to being a musician, he also writes books, poetry, and hosts his own radio show. His social media numbers are strong, and he seems skilled in the art of self […]
