The Low Stakes Band
The Low Stakes is what happens when two musicians currently reside in New Hampshire who decide they’re done with polite art and sanitized songwriting. Eric Colville and Ann Holbrook write and perform the way they live, unfiltered, a little defiant, and allergic to anything that smells like pretense. The name came out of a half-joking, half-serious conversation about how nothing in music is really life or death, but at the same time, every word you sing had better matter like

Andreja Andric and The Networked Ensemble Release An Experimental and Wild Piece of Work
A very outside-the-box and experimental electronic project from Andreja Andric and The Networked Ensemble delivers an almost invasive and semi-aggressive but very melodic piece of work that does indeed serve almost like a computer network trying to actually connect. Square Zero - Concert for Computer Network is one huge piece spanning over an hour in length, and based on a synthesized sound that goes through all these different patterns of synchronization and augmentation, al

Erik Rabasca
Some records are built around reinvention. New Scrolls succeeds by trusting a much older formula: strong songs, memorable melodies, and a songwriter who understands that details matter more than grand statements. Erik Rabasca draws from country folk, Americana, swing, and roots music without treating those traditions as museum pieces. Instead, he uses them as a framework for stories about ordinary experiences, personal reflection, and the kinds of observations that accumulate

The Zaxons
There is something refreshing about an album that commits fully to its own world without worrying whether listeners will immediately understand the rules. Videopticons, the latest release from The Zaxons, operates according to a peculiar internal logic where post-punk basslines, lo-fi production, wiry guitar work, and off-kilter synth textures coexist in a space that often sounds as if it were transmitted from a forgotten college radio station somewhere between 1982 and the p

TheJazzHhopCooker Drops a New Single And More
A new single release from TheJazzHhopCooker just dropped, and this is a track that sort of calls out AI music by way of bringing out some classic old-school vibes and doing it right. The single delves into vintage beats with a smooth R&B backbone but heavy-handed and slightly edgy percussion, giving you a bout of nostalgia as you listen, and the entire thing feels freestyle, which is another element of classic hip hop I've missed for quite some time.

The Story Behind MegaDestroyer’s “Parachutes”
Omaha alternative rock band MegaDestroyer has never shied away from emotional honesty. With their latest single and music video, “Parachutes,” the band channels a deeply personal story into a soaring anthem about resilience, friendship, and hope. The inspiration behind “Parachutes” is as real as it gets: the aftermath of a close friend surviving a near-fatal shooting in 2013. Rather than sink into darkness, MegaDestroyer transformed the experience into a song built for connec

An Album Drop from Fake Mannequin
Fake Mannequin is a project mostly known for its trip-hop style of sound, mostly drawing from classic, filmic-feeling artists most popular in the very early 2000s, but the cool thing about records like this is that it doesn't just sit in one area. It doesn't stick to one specific genre. I wouldn't consider this album to be just a trip-hop release. The record takes its time to bend and shape certain elements of sound, helping it construct evocative aesthetics, and in doing so,

A Sonically Lush and Lyrically Honest New Single from Eckotrigger
A massive new single release from Eckotrigger comes through with a damn near perfect blend of what I would consider to be post-punk, with classic new wave, taking elements of electronic music and creating vast undertones to build luxurious atmospheres that you end up falling right into. "Pleasure & Pain" has a massive sonic drive to it. It is definitely spacious and ambient, cinematic and robust, but they come through in these wonderful layers of textures that you end up swim

A Fresh Single from Duo Nordly Speaks Volumes
A recent release from Nordly puts together natural instrumentation with '90s pop tones to really build something that feels familiar but also pulls you into its dreamlike vibe at the same time. The track certainly is not without its top sensibilities, as it does feel like something that would be on the radio, anywhere from the 90s up until now. You can hear some of those acoustic rock Inspirations shining through, and there's a lot of rich flavor presented, and this is due to

A Full Album Release from D'Lee Has Arrived

The Cavernous Deliver An Engulfing New Record

RW Hellborn Drops A Rock Single With Rambunctious Energy
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

A Lush And Fantastical Single from SeeD
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

Bones of Goliath Don’t Give a Damn. Here’s Their New Live Video
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
