Last Chance Riders are able to call back to the hair metal of the 1980s and the southern rock of the late 1970s on their latest effort, Downright Disgusted.

The down and dirty sound of the guitars and drums during this single will have listeners bobbing their head while the band…

The track includes hints of guitars during the lead up to the chorus, which whips into something that draws upon the rich musical tradition of Evanescence and Avril Lavigne. Unlived Dreams has a hopeful, inspiring message and backs up…
Modern Geaisha’s “Hey Hey Hey” is a hard-hitting rap track that links together performers as diverse as Princess and Nicki Minaj with a wokeness that is reminiscent of performers like Common or Kendrick. What’s most impressive about Hey Hey Hey has to be the sheer range that Modern Geaisha exhibits during this effort. Softer elements work with a vicious flow to make for something that will be playing in listeners’ minds…
Hugh James’ “My Brother’s Shoes” is an effort that ties together country & western with gospel styles. James is able to weave together an intricate narrative with a backing chorus. My Brother’s Shoes has an instrumentation that rises and falls, to provide considerable gravitas to the effort when it needs it while dropping out and allowing Hugh’s vocals ample opportunity to impress. The production allows the drums, voices, and piano…
Belle VEX’s “Something New” has a bouncy beat and nods to R&B and EDM styles. The vocals on Something New stand boldly above the chill synths and assertive dance beat. The track could easily be slotted onto pop, dance, or college radio stations and playlist. Belle VEX is able to create something familiar but is done at such a high standard that it contributes to the overall corpus of the…
Osaka Popstar’s cover of “Fish Heads” is a sea change from the original. Adding a bit of stripped-down Ramones styled punk into the mix, Osaka Popstar energize and spin the effort into something that will bury itself as deep into the minds and hearts of listeners as it did about 40 years back. The video throws a bit of John K-esque art into the mix, making for a full multimedia…
Josh Collins is able to make a heart-felt and touching effort in “Hold You Back”. The track needs little more than Josh’s vocals and guitars. There is an honest and organic feel that is cultivated during this track that gradually is spun out into a wholly engrossing bit of pop-rock. The rough-hewn approach to the track’s production makes each line and each note resound long after Hold You Back ceases.…

Josephine includes a male vocal during “40 Days” that changes things up considerably. The back and forth between guitar and…
The Cutthroat Brothers’ “Kill 4 U” is an interesting track, built off of influences as wide-reaching as Motorhead and the Nekromantix. With a set of vocals that pull a bit from the Butthole Surfers and Nine Inch Nails, Kill 4 U is a track that would be at home in a Tarentino flick. Dirty, grungy, and performed with raw orgiastic fury, the vocals on the single push it to an…
Christmas Is A Time For Everyone is the latest effort by Velinski. The track is able to present the traditional side of Christmas while having a modern and contemporary sound weaved in.

The bit of brooding and darker elements whipped into Because It Hurts ensures that one should be able…
Nadia Lanfranconi’s “Italian Country Song” is one of those country tracks that is able to shine in the current musical climate while still drawing on a rich precedent tradition. Lanfranconi is able to have a bit of the honky tonk and the trapping of 1980s and early 1990s country (e.g. Martina McBride, Wynonna Judd) in her latest effort. The bit of current pop that gets weaved into Italian Country Song…
Jesus Honcho’s intricate flow on “Infatuated” will take fans a few plays to properly unpack. It’s truly a testament to his ability that he’s able to put down such a heady set of bars while further contributing to the overall harmony of Infatuated. The production here is smart, utilizing a minimal amount of sequenced beats to properly highlight what Jesus Honcho is trying to express. Infatuated ends before the 2:45…
