If there's something I could say I've been waiting for for a little while, it would definitely have to be a full-length album from D'Lee, who has been dropping hints and singles for months now, leading up to her LP. Well, that album is finally out, and it definitely showcases all of my favorite aspects about the artist in one big set of songs that deliver loads of soul, southern Country tonality, Americana-riddled songwriting, and a powerful, almost cinematic backbone that

If you haven't been properly introduced to The Cavernous, then let this be that introduction because the latest release from the ambitious duo brings out a very immersive experience that comes with some provocative electronic landscapes that, at times, can be slightly heavier, mostly coming from synthesizers that slice through other instruments with harsher tone but melodic foundation, and some exploratory songwriting that constructs unprecedented moods. The release is a five

A fresh banger from RW Hellborn gives off a massive drive in a classic Hard rock style, bordering on a heavier feel, with addictive and high-energy guitar riffs and performances throughout the entire thing, along with robust and sort of attacking vocals that come through with a heck of a punch, giving the song an added attitude. The single blends hints of southern rock undertone, especially with some of the bending guitars in the main riff, but there's also punk influence, an

The single is the first in a series of upcoming releases that signal the band stepping fully into their most focused and intentiona

An absolutely gorgeous new single from SeeD hits what would be considered Pagan folk, with warm acoustic guitars, flute, and an absolutely fantastical overtone that sort of picks you up and whisks you away to a different place altogether. Listening to this single pulls you away from wherever you are, and whatever you're doing, and when you're done with the song, you have to reacclimate yourself back to reality again. It's one of the most beautiful escapes I've had in quite so

Releasing music since the early 90s, pop pioneers Sko/Torp have certainly paved their own path in the genre, and have since never stopped. The duo has released 8 Studio albums along with several singles and EPs throughout their musical history. With their releases, they take a different direction and branch out into other areas of pop music, while always keeping their sound firmly under the genre's umbrella. Their latest effort, "The Beauty Of Life", is a very heartwarming ty

"Get Off Your Phone" is a song that delves into the frustrations a lot of us have when we're trying to have a conversation with someone or wa

The latest single from Bear Witness brings out a heavy-handed and soulful alternative rock approach that delivers righteous and powerful guitar work, along with robust vocals that just hit hard exactly where they need to, displaying loads of swagger and just the right kind of attitude to get you hooked.

Stevie Violet’s new album Chrysalis arrives as a bright and thoughtful collection of songs that blends indie-pop and rock with natural ease. Across the record, she leans into smart and catchy guitar work, silky vocals, and a songwriting style that feels full and confident from beginning to end. Right away, we get the feeling that she knows exactly how to build songs that feel immediate while still leaving something with us after they end. The tracks vary in mood and shape, bu

There’s an argument to be made that the heart of any music scene beats loudest in its smallest rooms. Bones of Goliath seem to understand this intuitively. Their new live video, “Blade, Fang, Blood and Claw,” doesn’t try to reimagine what heavy music can be; instead, it insists, sometimes stubbornly, on what it already is: loud and unpolished in all the right ways. The band’s sound is all muscle, pushing forward with a kind of momentum that feels as much about persistence as

This is an artist who knows how to perform. It's outstanding that she's able to give such intense vocal performances on record the way that she does. It makes you want to go see her performing live right in front of your face. This is a powerful track that showcases Giselle's

A new record from Galan Trio is a series of brilliant performances from many composers, all done with violin, piano, and cello. One of my favorite instrumental combinations, and this is an album that completely displays exactly why that is. The album showcases a hefty set of works spanning 21 pieces, delivering elegantly performed textures and aesthetics that all have somewhat unique atmospheres. The first track is a brilliant introduction to the record itself. Christopher Do

The Continuous Interior EP consists of four pieces of music; the first three parts are a segment under the Continuous Interior title, and the first is called "Flickering, Light".

A new release from Bonnie Whiting and Eliza Brown delivers a very unique set of works that are based on storytelling in the form of spoken word, along with percussion that gives death to those stories, along with some mood and intensity levels. The record is called Through The Eye(s), and is based on perspectives delivered from women who are incarcerated, and upon this knowledge, you really end up paying attention to those words quite closely. The stories are told in such gre

Madzilla LV has released a video for “Ashes of Light,” and let me tell you, this is the kind of tune that makes you want to crank the volume and tear into the band’s whole catalog. Shot on the road during their South American tour with Living Colour, the video is pure adrenaline: sweaty, chaotic, and dripping with the kind of energy that only comes from a band laying it all on the line. What hits hardest about “Ashes of Light” isn’t just the ferocity of the riffs (though trus

It's been quite some time since I've heard a record that seamlessly takes some of the best elements of folk, pop, and contemporary, and puts them together on such a lush and full-bodied feeling record that comes with a sort of breezy feeling overtone and a warmth. Coming across the Out Of Season EP from Faded certainly let me indulge in some diverse but always pop-riddled songwriting, and the record doesn't waste a lot of time with its first and title track. Right from the s

There is a sense that every track is built to connect, pulling listeners in with an urgency that never lets up. What really makes Yard Sale stand out is its ability to deliver

A single from a Sweet Gorilla was recently released, and the single comes through as a bright feeling but expansive pop-rock single that blends in certain cinematic backbones along with vast guitar work to create something that certainly feels like it's got its own atmosphere. This is the track that is infusing certain elements of classic rock, hints of alternative, but keeps things in that sort of electric, sonically bright area so that it feels spirited and positive when yo

Emma Lindquist has been dropping some hints and singles leading up to her album, and it has now arrived, bringing with it a very one-on-one temperament that digs into the artist's psyche a bit, but also exhibits how she can come across with a bit of boldness as she speaks her truths through her music. Hello tiger be my friend is a record that breeds many different styles but seems to always hover around under the pop umbrella, near perfectly. The album displays a lot of wond

A fresh single release from LJ and the Ray Band recently dropped, and this track displays such catchy and colorful swagger, funk tonality, smooth, flowing vocals, and lush, packed instrumentation that just gives the song A richness and flavor that you rarely get these days.

This is a record that has been created with fewer boundaries than whatever you may be used to. There is almost always an amazing pop sensibility that lurks just beneath the surface or on top, but either way, you're getting something that is
