Natalise + the Sunset Run’s Love Unconditional builds up into something fantastic from a soft and sedate sound. The rising and ebbing of the single will have listeners firmly on the edges of their seat. A touching set of strings and orchestral instrumentation make for a fully-formed thought; this is one of the headiest and most fulfilling efforts we’ve heard. The ability of Natalise + the Sunset Run to deftly…
You can’t claim Roger Miret, one of the New York’s hardcore scenes founding fathers, held anything back in his new memoir, My Riot.
This Alice Cooper DVD set – including the 1976 “Welcome To My Nightmare” concert film as well as a TV special (“Alice Cooper: The Nightmare”) from the year before – manages to do the seemingly impossible, being both nostalgically dated and simultaneously timeless.
Amazing Gracie is the first track off of Remember the Alamo, by Free Willy. The track draws heavily on the bluegrass and Americana genres, benefited through a modern approach to recording. The rich guitar and banjo that boost up the vocals will immediately draw listeners in to the album. Get in the Car slows things up as Free Willy inhabits the space between modern country and folk music. A hooky chorus…
Over the course of the last two years, we’ve been fortunate to check out a few tracks from Soles of Passion. We feel that the band’s latest release Land of the Big Blue Sun is an effort that not only builds off of the sounds and styles initially broached in singles like Say I Will and in their Escape from Jurisdiction B album. The EP begins with Turned It All Around,…
C.K. Flach starts off his album “Empty Mansions” with Lazarus, an emphatic effort that showcases a unique vocal style and an instrumental backdrop that unites influences in the alternative rock and singer-songwriter tradition. The richness of this introductory track ensures that listeners will have to play the song multiple times before hearing the entirety of inclusions. Particular strengths here have to be C.K.’s vocals and the extended guitar section, both…
Uniting a couple from around the world (Sydney, Australia and Chicago), Peasant Moon make a style of music with their latest EP Our Timing Was Wrong that will draw listeners in and keep them there until the release concludes. Back in Time, the first track on this EP, is a glorious blending of alternative and indie rock music that has enough time to include nods to Americana and 1970s country &…
Moe Green’s Eye begin their Fast Radio Burst Live EP with Fixed, a powerful pop/rock track that touches upon a wide swath of influences. During this first salvo, there are hints of Fuel, Modern English, and just a bit of the jam-band scene. The instrumentation during Fixed is top-notch, with each guitar line, bass arrangement, and spot-on drum adding to the full-sounding composition. The dynamic between each of these elements stands…
Ashley J’s “Trapped” is a powerful pop track that hearkens back to the days of late-nineties performers like Britney Spears and Christina Aguilera. There are enough hooks here to bury the song’s melodies firmly into the psyche of anyone listening.
Souleye’s “Wildman” a track that deftly crosses over between genre conventions to make for something that will stand head and shoulders above other tracks on radio rotation. There are hints of rap, pop, and EDM all captured in this single, while a female set of vocals provides the perfect counterpoint for the main (male) vocal track.
