Lord Have Mercy is a hard-hitting rap track that effortlessly blends together smart wordplay and a backing beat that highlights Overlord Gruff’s vocals at all the right points. Tha Baddest One is a crossover track, a banger that pulls some of the slinky California beats of late-1990s Snoop Dogg with the polished sound of a 50 Cent of The Game. The production is on point, allowing each syllable to be…
Magnetic Ghost create a powerful form of indie / noise / drone rock with Vanish / Vanishing, the first effort off of their November album “Loss Molecules”. The track builds up a disturbing and haunting fuzz that is further bolstered through smart use of repetition and haunting, ethereal vocals. Fuzz is used to provide further ambiance to the opening track; by the time that Vanish / Vanishing completes, listeners will…
Devil Eyes is the first track from the new EP “Put Me On” by Colorado band One Way Ride. This type of blues-rock blends together hints of KONGOS and Alabama 3. The dynamic between the male and female vocal pushes each to a higher plateau, while the drums and guitars make for a dense instrumentation.
Denver’s Float Like A Buffalo has released a new EP, Enjoy The Ride. The release begins with Whiskey Dreams, a track which calls forth comparisons to acts like The White Stripes and the Drive-By Truckers. Brooding bass lines blend with punchy drums and sizzling guitar work to tell more with the opening minute of instrumental arrangements than many artists could do in the course of an album.

What Sukha does on their current album Rise is create a unique style of music that ties together folk-rock, rock, and alternative styles together with a singer-songwriter feel. There is a powerful one-two punch that begins the album; Ong Namo has vocals contributing to the overall melodies achieved by the band, while there is an approach taken during Wah Yantee that seamlessly links together Sarah McLachlan and Natalie Cole with Neil…
Ballad Of Everything is a confident, polished indie-pop song that gradually opens up into something that is instrumentally complex. The swirling eddies of guitars, splashy drums, and richly emotive bass lines that confront listeners during this introduction to the Night and Day EP will capture fans’ hearts and minds. Breakthrough is a tremendously catchy effort. The dusty vocals of The Killers and the Goo Goo Dolls can be heard here,…
von Konow’s tremendous emotional depth is showcased from the onset of his new single, Cosmic. The shift that the track takes from a vocal-dominated one into something that deftly blends together new wave, goth, and indie-pop styles is shocking, but the sheer talent of von Konow is such that the resulting effort is coherent. Synths are weaved in with authoritative drums on Cosmic; nods to artists as diverse as Of Mice…
The Badasheng Gaming Headset is a perfect sort of product for those looking for an entry-level headphone. The simple fact of life is that a great many people live with someone else, whether it be parents, dorm mates, or sharing a house with a wife or children. In that case it becomes an inevitability that there will be a moment at which you are asked to turn down your music or video game.…
This IPA pours with a yellow to orange coloration and a fair amount of white head that is somewhat slow to dissipate. The nose of Orderville is very strong on the pine and floral aspects of the hop while including a bit of astringency from the alcohol of the beer. The drink-ability of Orderville is unparalleled; it is one of the first beers that is able to marry the West…

When you first go into the location you will be shocked at the overall level of business…
