While we have had beers sent our way for NeuFutur nearly a decade now, actually visiting breweries is a fairly new frontier for us. Luckily, we were able to join up with Emily from RadCraft to see what was going on at Strange Craft Brewery. Head brewer Tyler Bies has crafted a considerably wide collection of efforts available both year-round and seasonally in the Denver area.
El Gato Dice have released their third album, Tres. The disc begins with Simplest Design, a work that calls back to the alternative rock of the mid-1980s (The Replacements, Yazoo). The guitar work is complex and adds considerably to this initial effort’s gravitas. With the shift to the second set of vocals at the 1:45 mark, listeners will be further impressed at the instrumentation’s ability to shift to something wholly…
While we were in the Denver area, we had a moment during the afternoon to visit the city’s Ocean Prime location (a second location will be opening later this fall). We were able to drop off our car at the valet without much in the way of hassle – Larimer, the street that the restaurant was on, was busy but the restaurant had placed the valet corral front and center…
Long Claw’s “Razor Blade Tears” is a strong track that tells a story. The guitar line contributes mightily to the overall narrative of the song. During this single, the vox pull double duty. Rather than solely establishing a narrative, these vocals add an additional layer to the harmonies of this effort. Razor Blade Tears is a track that defies easy description. Fans will be impressed at the passion and ability…
Navakaine’s “Skyliner” is a tender track that succeeds due to its honest and earnest vocals and a richly emotive backing instrumentation. The two elements are able to shine alone or as a cohesive entity. We loved the ability of the two to rise and fall; the shifting tempo of Skyliner ensures that listeners will be continually engaged with the song. Unique in its sound, fans of Taylor Swift and Bif…
Kevin Tiah’s “Voices” is an intense blast of hard rock that brings in hints of late-oughts hardcore, emocore, and a bit of melodic / progressive metal to the mix. The supersonic vocals laid down by Keven during Voices are matched nicely during splashy drums and sizzling guitar lines. The track is able to hit all of the marks in an extremely proficient fashion. With a polish that ensures it garners…
Jamieson’s “The War” is an engrossing single, with a rapping style that links together the rich London rap scene (e.g. The Streets) with late 1990s NYC (Jay-Z, Nas) and modern rap (Ed Sheeran, Macklemore). There is a chiaroscuro between the pointed rap flow and the more melodic hook. Jamieson’s powerful lyrical content on The War is bolstered by a backing beat that rises and falls in all the right ways.…
Depending on the service or product you have to offer, starting up a new business can be extremely costly. If you’re going into a retail spot you need to either pay rent or buy the unit, pay taxes, real estate fees, and probably spend a large chunk of cash on making the inside of your new store match your company culture. Again, depending on what your company is, you then…
Ryan Rebo’s “Boogieman” is a dreamy alternative effort that pulls together hints of Death Cab for Cutie, Oasis, and Bruce Springsteen. The guitar line bolsters Ryan’s vocals, while an intricate drum line provides additional depth to the composition. A repeated section during the last minute of Boogieman is a call back to The Smashing Pumpkins’ Disarm. The production of Boogieman is key in making this track a success. It provides…
JPRiZM’S “Rise” is a fantastic blend of rap and trip-hop / IDM.

A solid production ensures that each side – instrumental and vocal – is able to be enjoyed on its own as well as…

The fullness of “Double Vision” ensures that listeners will continue to find new twists and turns even five or ten plays in. “Urgent” has a smaller orchestral component with a video that…
Be Astronaut has just released a new single, Bipolar Spectrum. The track is able to draw together indie, alternative rock, and progressive styles. While the vocals are alluring on their own, technical fans will dig a bit deeper into the guitar / drum interactions that are weaved throughout. The complexity of Bipolar Spectrum – the band is able to move through styles on a dime – means that listeners will…
Interpol’s come back with a new hit with a bit of a change of pace from 2014’s El Pintor. On “The Rover”, jangly guitar work and insistent drums will tattoo a rhythm deep into listeners’ heads. Raw, passionate, and blending together down and dirty Detroit rock with a tinge of 1980s synth / new wave, Interpol is back in peak form. Of particular note during The Rover has to be…
Interior While the lot for the Cincinnati location of Cooper’s Hawk Winery & Restaurant was full to capacity, we were astonished at how spacious the location was. After confirming our reservation, we were brought back to the main dining room. Lower lights made for a cozy experience.
