A new single release from Taylor Campbell Band delivers a warm sense of inspiration and a unique, classic description of life itself as a working man trying to build a better future for the kids of his own, and it's a sentiment that so many of us can relate to that it's impossible to turn away from this track. Part of the reason this works so well is because of his lyrical approach. It's so descriptive and storytelling that it pulls you right in. Yes, there is the sentiment a

John Jenkins returns with a single that absolutely has plenty of depth to it and makes quite an amazing statement in terms of where we are in the world and in this country today. It's a song that doesn't hold a lot back and speaks truths, by way of telling stories, and this is where the warmth comes in. This is a single that does a lot of explaining and talks about generations coming to the United States with dreams in hand. It speaks of parents, grandparents, and how, at cer

The new single release from Golden Vultures comes through with an amazing rootsy sort of swampy blues rock approach, and a lot of that comes from the tone and riff of those guitars. This track boasts so much addictive energy that it's totally infectious, right from the start. After it's count in, you have some amazing guitar riffs coming into play with two sets of guitars that sort of bounce off each other. This is sort of an introduction to the song, and it's a great one at

A very flavorful new record from praytell. just dropped and this release is packed with a unique and very experimental form of hip hop that really holds together in such a unique fashion. This is an album that reflects the artist and his personality but also boasts such a colorful and outside the box sort of approach when it comes to production and even vocals at times. The album is called  I love myself and I wanna die , and it certainly doesn't waste much time getting to so

I spent the weekend with One Voice , and it revealed itself gradually, the way records used to before everything was optimized for quick hits and instant hooks. Don’t Blink operates in a space that feels deliberately out of step with contemporary pop. The sound is lo fi without leaning into irony, organic without polishing away its rough edges. What immediately stood out to me was how singular the aesthetic is. This does not resemble much of what is circulating right now, and

Join us for an interview with Fitzkee Brothers as we talk about everything from live performances to influences, jamming, and their latest single released today, "never Works Out" which brings on a soulful, southern toned rock experience that is bred from all kinds of classic rock and jam. The new single showcases how the guys are able to pull together that live perfomance energy on record and certainly brings out some of those influcnes throughout the track. This is one of t

Matt DeAngelis returns with a gorgeous new single that comes in the form of a classic-rock-influenced power ballad of sorts, but is built on amazing piano work, incredible lead guitar work, and a certain kind of warmth and messaging that leaves an impact. This new single marks a part of Matt's new era of songwriting. He's always put pieces of himself in his music and has always been able to put personality and certain kinds of messaging behind the songs, but this song in part

Julian Taylor returns with a full length album that reaches into the depths of charisma, struggle, honesty, personality, character, and it's all done with a beautifully blended set of songwriting approaches that take elements of folk, country, Americana, and rock, putting them together to create these particular kinds of atmospheres per each individual song but building it so that the entire album, as a whole, is very confluent, consistent, and has messaging behind it. Now, t

An album from Those Who recently dropped, and the record blends what I would consider cinematic rock with alternative, indie, and more. This is a very robust record that does have certain tracks that boast some emotional backbone, and the guitar work is absolutely outstanding throughout the entire thing. The album is called Solace, and its first track, "Spineless (Inter Alia)", doesn't waste much time getting straight to the point by delivering some of that cinematic drive I

A recent album release from Strat manages to bring together elements of classic, old school hip-hop, but with a refreshing approach in vibe, bringing together a little bit of grit and edginess, with tons of honesty and personality, which is one of the biggest attributes to this record. The level of personality that comes through as the record unfolds is one of the main reasons why you get so attached to it. Strat has a pretty uncanny ability for storytelling in general. The l

“Fire in the Madhouse” marks a subtle but meaningful shift in Ryan Kotler’s songwriting, one that trades looseness for clarity without sanding down his voice. The song leans into a more straightforward alt-country framework, but it never feels rigid or overly formalized. Instead, it carries a sense of confidence, as if Kotler knows exactly what the song needs and refuses to add anything extraneous. The arrangement is warm and unforced. Guitars sit slightly fuzzy around the ed

A recent release from Byrne Elliot delivers a beautifully woven cinematic waltz of sorts that brings to mind fantastical things as it comes through with a very particular kind of hard, which is really addicting, along with a gorgeous build and blend of textures, tones, and instrumentation that lets this song breathe. "Haunted Love" is a gorgeous composition that really can sort of whisk you away. This is a song that has an uncanny ability to pull you away from wherever you ar

A new single release from LVCQ delivers a unique and edgy blend of grunge, alternative rock, and even shoegaze attributes, all bringing out a bit of personality and creating this vast and spacious atmosphere that is not without the heaviness that you would expect from alternative or grunge music. "You Are Me" gives off a pretty hard-hitting sonic drive with a blistering guitar tone and still keeps to some of that classic and melodic grunge style with a great chord progression

The new album from REXEN is finally here and this is one of the most eclectic and beautifully woven pieces of work I've heard in a long time, combining elements of theatrical and cinematic folk, with all kinds of added common natural instrumentation, and wonderful approaches to lyrics, storytelling, and detail. This is an album that you sort of swim through. The Chauffeur begins with a track called "I've Found", which not only displays slightly outlandish and experimental app

A new album release from Dramatist just dropped, and this record encompasses and embodies so many different forms of cinematic, heavy rock, hinting towards post-punk but leaning war on the alternative rock side of things, always keeping a semi-vast underbelly and delivering this big Sonic presence. The Wasting Words album definitely comes through with waves of intensity and is a record that you should be listening to all the way through from start to finish, all in one shot.

An absolutely gorgeous new single from Emm Gryner delivers a theatrical and impactful approach riddled with character, charisma, personality, and such a robust and tasteful sense of vigor that it's almost impossible to turn away from. This song reaches into such truths and personal attributes, and the lyrics are so incredibly connective. This is a very emotionally bound single and Emm seems very unafraid to really put those emotions out there for everyone. I think this is why

If you are looking to get that edgy post-punk fix, then I have just the record for you. Corpus Delicti recently released an album riddled with amazing bass guitar tone, classic and vast underbellies, and that sort of dark, almost brooding aesthetic that comes with most vintage and fresh pop-punk approaches. Liminal is an album that delves into some personal attributes but does so in a way that feels connective and relatable, with lyrics that can be a bit descriptive, which i

A massive new release from Transcendent Barrier delivers a whirlwind of deepening sludge rock and metal blended with elements of stoner and doom everywhere, and this record delivers such intense sonic drive that it's impossible to turn away from. One of my favorite aspects about this entire record has to be the riffs. The guitar work on this thing is just gigantic and they come through with a punchy but grueling guitar tone throughout the entire record, with a bass guitar ton

Nervous returns with Tension , a record that delves into new creative territory while staying grounded in the spirit that’s always driven the band. Throughout the record, we weave in unexpected elements like accordion and classical guitar, expanding their palette without losing the emotional core that connects us to indie and alt-rock. These new sounds don’t feel tacked on, but added perfectly alongside the usual staples, creating depth and contrast. The result is a sound tha

An absolutely blistering new single from Blood of Angels just dropped, and this track wastes no time giving you some amazing riffs, memorable guitar hooks, and bursting into a thrashing, high impact, metal soiree that hits hard and leaves its mark. "The Last Rights" starts off with some great trudging guitars, lead hooks, and awesome time signatures to introduce the track. This section sort of gets you prepared for what's to come and gives you something fun that you want befo
