Neill & The Blue Roses Promise Stellar EP To Come With Devastating "Play Me a Record" Teaser Single
Image courtesy of Michael Deppisch
I first met musician Amanda Neill many years ago when she and her husband Christian were the proprietors of a sweetly intimate little Brooklyn, NY-based cafe known as Roots. Call it one of those friend-of-a-friend, simple twist-of-fate-type situations putting us into each other’s orbit that just so happened to stick good fortune in my crosshairs. Because, in…

Apocalypse? No Worries, We're Doomed We're Dancing With Downupright's Stellar New LP
Image courtesy of Downupright
Do you ever contemplate the end of the world and what it might look like? In 2024, it seems difficult not to imagine quite a few different and novel approaches to an apocalypse, often with that source coming through cleverly artful movies, television, or video games. Hell, much of the time all you have to do to sniff out what the doom of us all might look like is…

Internet Tears Keeps Me Groovin' On High With New Single "I Want You"
Photo credit Kyle Michael Kostenko
So much of the raw emotional power that goes into the early stages of what we know as romantic human attachment is the level of intensity we experience. When we get together with someone else (or desire to), that feeling doesn’t naturally occur like a stray wave gently lapping along the shoreline. That might apply to those casually skimming the surface of the…

Schoolboy Q Brings a Skillful Chill On New Release of LP Blue Lips
Photo courtesy of Google
Rapper Schoolboy Q recently returned to the rap game for the first time since 2019’s CrasH Talk with the release earlier this month of his latest LP Blue Lips. Unlike other music publications or Youtube reactionaries that seek to pounce on who can have the quickest reviews-for-clicks, I’ve chosen to take more gradual care in delivering my thoughts on Blue Lips. That’s…

Phatt James Wins Over Love On "Seven Days" Music Video
Photo credit Cameron Cyr @nocturnalresearch
If there’s one thing I know for certain about myself, it’s that my appetite for the discovery of new music never takes a lunch break. There’s no portion size too big and no iTunes bill too mighty to keep me from swimming upstream in the river of expanding my horizons. Especially when I get an artist recommendation that either jolts me forward into a…

X Ambassadors Get In Touch With the Rural Backstreets on Upcoming "Townie" Release
Photo courtesy of Google
I initially became familiar with the music of the band X Ambassadors during my first job working in the radio business, the headquarters of which was located in an old house in the small town where I grew up. This was around the time that the group’s single “Unsteady” was receiving regular play on the station’s airwaves and was well on its way to becoming a smash hit. In…

Escovedo Sends Me Back Through My Music Years with Forthcoming Echo Dancing LP
Photo courtesy of Google
Occasionally I enjoy looking back on the foundations of what’s made me pursue music so rabidly and what’s made it become such a fixed part of my existence for so many years. And, without question, one of those early tentpoles is none other than veteran singer-songwriter Alejandro Escovedo.
When I was around 15 or 16 years old, I received my first iPod and began…

Enjoying The Show Diary With Acid Walls And Their "Glass Pieces" EP Release Party
When it comes to the creative content I generate here for this website, one of the most important aspects of the process to me is that the finished product be of a relatable tone. I’m not looking to be the next Pitchfork journalist or to impress you with meanderingly high-minded turns of phrase straight out of the handbook of a newly-minted English Lit major. Instead, I seek to have my reviews…

The Inside Out Score Another Winner With "Mr. Arrogant" Music Video
Image courtesy of The Inside Out/Chantel Malin
I frequently find myself wrestling with the fleeting nature of that ever-mighty concept known as time. As someone who was born in 1990, I remember living in the days when there was a sense of my own youth and vitality that seemed as though it would be everlasting. Fast forward to three months into this sci-fi novel-ready sounding year that is…

Bidding Farewell to a Touring Musical Legend in John
I was just reading that Elton John has played his final live show, performing in Stockholm, Sweden for his concluding gig. He’s been doing his finale tour the last few years, and while I never had the pleasure to see his live show, its sad to think his retirement has come isn’t it? Another changing of the guard and sign of growing older.
I mean he could be yet another musician who regularly…

Byrne Uplifts Through Tragedy on 2023 Best "The Greater Wings"
Julie Byrne’s new LP The Greater Wings is a prime example of what superbly crafted and complete albums are made of in 2023. Not iTunes singles, not a one off in a movie people may or may not see or an EP barely meant to hold the attention of a listener. An album. Lived in and loved for all its creation, for the better and the warts of it all.
You have to stop, listen and think on each track or…

Killer Mike Strikes Plenty of Emotional Chords on Solo Return "Michael"
I first heard Killer Mike when group Run The Jewels hit the scene and kicked the door open for everybody to see, with Mike and fellow rapper El-P acting as music’s avenging angels. The pair have had the chemistry, the sound, the guest stars… but that had to start from somewhere to be so good, and for both RTJ artists that was with prolific solo careers. And Mike has returned to his after a number…
