History of Something ‘You Are. We Are. For Life’ CD Review

There Are No Leagues has solid multi-part harmonies and allows all elements of History of Something ample opportunity to shine. Better When You’re With Me is an energetic track that ties together The Replacements, Boston, and Brookside into something incredibly catchy and radio-ready.

Noah’s tape Green EP

Noah tape’s Green EP has an interesting interplay between the organic and the electronic, creating a haunting sort of indie rock that is wholly different from anything else that we have ever heard. Pin me has a deliberate beat that is interspersed through its four-plus minutes, while Renegade cheers things up with a slightly quicker arrangement.

Three Thousand Rivers ‘Like A What’ CD Review

Antonito is an energetic track that links together R.E.M. and Death Cab for Cutie, with ample amounts of funk and soul that are inserted into the track. A strong production makes these tracks ready for rotation as the band rockets into Schubert Hits Plympton Street.

Maia & The Pilots Taking Off CD Review

I Would is a tremendously effecting indie / alternative track that is made by the contribution of the titular singer and the backing instrumentation laid down by a cast of talented musicians. The track works in the current but is built off of the dreamy fare of the seventies and nineties.

On The Water Cordelia Review

Born in Reverse is an emotive track that will immediately draw listeners in with the interplay between the vocals and the tender strings; the gradual ebbing and flowing of this haunting track ensure that one will focus on the tracks that will follow.

Violet Night – I Hope You’re Well Single Review

A rich piano starts I Hope You’re Well, a track the is extremely touching and intricate while still having a very radio-friendly track. I Hope You’re Well  possesses a production that allows the distinct elements of Violet Night to shine alone and as a cohesive unit. The track feels like late Blink 182 or Taking Back Sunday, while being a bit more firmly located in the rock tradition. The spot-on…

Soulless (Rivertown Brewery)

The sad fact about sours is many of them are priced at a level that makes it hard to have them as a go-to beer. Even those sour beers that have been made in the United States can break the $20 mark for a 22-ounce bomber. The beer pours with a dark mahogany to reddish coloration and a light tan head that stands out on the top of the beer.…

Unfiltered Wheat Beer (Boulevard Brewing)

Boulevard Brewing’s Unfiltered Wheat Beer pours with a very light yellow to gold coloration and a citrus (lemon / orange) nose mixed with a decent amount of wheat. The beer is sublimely drinkable, with a light amount of fruit flavor that can be discerned amongst the strong wheat and grain flavors.

The Sister (Imperial IPA, Fremont Brewing)

Fremont Brewing Company (Seattle, Washington) has crafted The Sister as one of their imperial efforts. This imperial IPA hides its heavy hop presence with a nose that links together apricot, tangerine, and starfruit into something wholly engrossing. Imbibers will be hit with a strong hop element with their initial sip; there is a bitterness that struggles with the aforementioned flavors to create something that is refreshing at an alcohol level (8.5%)…
