Pittsburgh natives now based out of the Boston area, The Keymakers are two brothers, Rome Alexander and Rederic, who have made their presence felt in the modern music scene since first combining their talents in 2016. Spectra is the duo’s first extended release, running seven songs in all, and contains material that should figure into the duo’s […]
Velvety and accented with a unique country melodicism, we enter Rob Georg’s “When I Make It Home for Christmas” on the back of a brittle acoustic guitar’s painful yearning. It isn’t long before Georg himself steps into the fold, adding a vocal to the mix that could warm listeners up on even the iciest of […]
The piano melody that signals the start of White Collar Crime’s “To Be Real,” one of two songs that they’re releasing ahead of their latest record 30 Years In The New York Rain, is glittery and bright, adorned with a gentle drumbeat that persists through the whole of the track. A soft lead vocal joins […]
“Overwhelming Love” is the new single from 21-year-old Texas born vocalist Taylor Renee Marx and a heartfelt testimony of her spirituality in a world lacking much in the way of such feelings.

Leask executes […]
In a carefree swing that is as inviting as the vocal harmony soon to shadow its start is, gorgeous strings come pouring through our speakers in a deluge of melodicism in “Carolina Line,” one of ten songs comprising Time Has Made a Change, the new record from Jeff Parker & Company. “Carolina Line” is probably one […]
The Criticals’ Mimosa Hygiene packs quite a punch despite featuring only six tracks. It is a testament to how quick Cole Shugart and Parker Forbes established a shared language for their songwriting as The Criticals; these tracks play with all the confidence of a far more traditionally established unit than a neophyte band marking their debut release.
