EP REVIEW: Live at Bakehouse by Lipstereo

Australia’s four-piece Lipstereo recently released their EP Live at Bakehouse and while the band covers a multitude of themes including nostalgia, relationship issues, parental entanglements and the importance of sincerity it is within three tracks that clocks in at a mere 9 minutes and 27 seconds. Hefty topics for a short amount of time. But Lipstereo nails it perfectly. Live at Bakehouse, their sophomore EP, … Continue reading EP REVIEW: Live at Bakehouse by Lipstereo

TRACK by TRACK: Past Selves by Sub-Radio

Sub-Radio immediately hooked me – the vocals were clean and vibrant and the music just as … Continue reading TRACK by TRACK: Past Selves by Sub-Radio

TRACK x TRACK REVIEW: Nobody’s Nobody by Brothers Osborne

I felt that Brothers Osborne’s 2022’s album, Skeletons, was a significant shift in attitude and confidence for the band. The album was solid from beginning to end and heavy on groove and that attitude and confidence can be heard and felt even more with their latest 3 songs that were released on Good Friday. The 3 songs are from an upcoming to be named album … Continue reading TRACK x TRACK REVIEW: Nobody’s Nobody by Brothers Osborne
