A new single from Jak Fiddler is like the musical depiction of an old western about a nomadic cowboy, riding on and on, trying to escape his demons. The way it all gets laid out throughout the song is outstanding, because it's so descriptive, and the music and instrumentation of everything follow suit so perfectly well to nail the aesthetic of that sort of outcast cowboy tonality and ideal. It's pretty amazing how the song tells the story of this man who just keeps writing on

If you are not familiar with the music of Ryan Mackin don't let us be among the first to introduce you as the artist has released several outstanding and very conscious, honest hip hop singles that don't skip a beat, have brilliant lyrical phrasing, and come at you with loads of personality, including one of my personal favorites "It's Possible". This is one of my top tracks for this artist simply because of that intense honesty and perfectly balanced energy throughout its co

A new single release from Iboreh serves as a call out to the world we live in today, with technology always tracking us, listening to us, and following our whereabouts. It's a song that displays the sentiment of just being tired of it. Wanting to disappear, live off the grid, or be anonymous. It's true. It's very hard to be anonymous in this day and age. Especially when we have phones in our pockets or our hands constantly, cameras watching our movements from street lights, a

A new single from Sherise breeds quite a bit of honesty in the form of a bright, colorful, and deep grooved, dance pop single with lots of cultural flair and plenty of drive. The single features some amazing synthesizers that really do add some great textures to the song while bringing in a lot of that colorful approach, pop overtone, and vibrant aesthetic. One of the things I love most about this track is that it is actually about rising up from a bad situation. It's about o

A beautifully theatrical style release from Crash World delivers such an honest testament to personal struggle that it's hard to turn away from. The song delves pretty deep from a very personal perspective, and it's this kind of robust honesty that gives it as much character and personality as it actually has. The song itself feels sort of sad, and its melodies are also lush and sort of colorful in their performances and textures. You can tell this is a song that was influenc

The new Bruecken album release drops you into this vastly atmospheric set of soundscapes that have the ability to take you away to different places in a very unique sense, by bringing together ambient tones and space along with heavy and edgy tones. Years That Answer  is a record that starts by pulling you into a world that has a beautifully constructed set of textures, driving percussion, building guitar sections, and still with that ambience in its underbelly, all coming to

A new EP release from Nightmarer delivers a brutal and trudging blend of doom, thrash, speed, and blackened death metal, all put together into this one extensive release that hits with a blistering set of tonalities and deepening guitar riffs. When you start listening to this record you could tell right off the bat that these guys have a love for their craft. Their passion for brutal metal is something that they hold very high and I love how they're able to bring together the

A new release from Amanda & James just dropped, and this track portrays such a great sentiment when it comes to relationships. Even though they know they're not making a comeback anytime soon, it's very light-hearted, and it focuses on such a great storyline between two people that sort of know things have ended, and they're not making that come back, but it's okay. I definitely dig the sentiment because it speaks volumes for the duo and how they're able to be open in terms o

A vastly experimental album release from The Beatroot Road delivers such a lush and outside-the-box set of soundscapes that blend and mesh together seamlessly, but still have a way of branching out in different directions with each new track. This is a full record of songs that feel spacious, cinematic, and again, quite experimental, as you never really know what's going to happen next. This release is packed with surprises around its corners, unique production approaches, an
