There was not a chance I wasn’t going to like “Baptize” by Saving Abel. I have a soft spot in my heart for this band. Back in my radio days, they were one of the best bands to work with and their Southern rock roots always shined through their kindness and interactions with their fans. Needless to say, I was stoked when I discovered they … Continue reading SONG REVIEW: “Baptize” by Saving Abel
First, I owe Baby Schillaci an apology. I’ve been pronouncing their name wrong. It’s not ‘shh-uh-laci” but “sk-uh-latch-ee” and I’m even more positive I’ve butchered the phonetics as well. Second and most importantly, Baby Schillaci are releasing a new song and let me tell you, we are all in for a sweet sweet treat. “Dead Wrestlers” will be out on June 2nd BUT if you … Continue reading SONG REVIEW: “Dead Wrestlers” by Baby Schillaci
“Moroccan Oranges” is from NY singer songwriter, Olive Louise and was inspired by the passing of her mom.

It’s about the dissonance I felt looking at my dad trying to hold it together and make us feel … Continue reading SONG REVIEW: “Moroccan Oranges” by Olive Louise
Brooklyn-based Middle Part’s latest single, “Chinatown” features Yuno and it’s the definition of indie pop at its finest. The band says the song is about tackling the burn out born from life in the big city. But it’s more than being exhausted from life in the city. It is being exhausted from life in general. Whether one wants to admit it or not, the planet … Continue reading SONG REVIEW: “Chinatown” by Middle Part
Ahead of their April 28th release of “Doctor’s Note”, we got a sneak listen of the 2nd single from Bitter Kisses and it’s an absolute banger. Like their debut single, “Pr*y”, “Doctor’s Note” is an infectious track. Unlike its predecessor, there is a distinct lack of synths or barely distinguishable synths in the song. There’s still a beautiful menacing sound to “Doctor’s Note” and it … Continue reading SONG REVIEW: “Doctor’s Note” by Bitter Kisses

Confession, when I first saw the artwork for “Antivenom” by Audience of Rain, I saw two snakes preparing for battle. It took me longer than I care to admit until I saw just the one snake, jaws agape preparing to attack. (Colour me embarrassed.) At least I can say it didn’t take me nearly as long as to fall in love with the sound of … Continue reading REVIEW: “Antivenom” by Audience of Rain
I know I am a month late on this review. Sometimes, I just want to listen to music with no intention of ever sharing my thoughts on it, but the more I listened to “Dreams of the Working Class” by Ryan Adams & The Cardinals, the more I kept thinking about all the wonderful things I felt while listening to the song. When Ryan is … Continue reading REVIEW: “Dreams of the Working Class” by Ryan Adams & The Cardinals

Shhhhhh…don’t let Pollyanna Blue know, but goddamn their latest song, “Stray” is fucking awesome. Out on Friday, April 7th, “Stray” by Pollyanna Blue shows a completely different vibe from their song “Haunted”. Musically, the vibe of the late alt 90’s and early 00’s is there, but vocally Zoe Collins seems to be less ‘I am woman, hear me roar’ like she was in “Haunted” and … Continue reading REVIEW: “Stray” by Pollyanna Blue
