Hello, Sakima. Your current album is The Process. What significance does the release’s title hold for you? The title is everything. The Process is the result of my growth in music. This is the first album that I truly produced and almost fully created myself. I grew from a rapper to an artist. And that’s what the title reflects. The music on the album is the result of my process…

Double Dread, Mad River Brewing’s Imperial Red Ale, pours with an incredibly dark brown to red coloration and an off-white head that winds its way down the glass as one continues to drink the beer. There is a decent sweetness, surprising considering the higher ABV of the brew (8.6% ABV); one will be unable to discern the 8.6% ABV of Double Dread until a while after they have completed the…

Smuttynose’s Imperial Stout, the latest in their Big Beer Series, pours dark brown to black with little in the way of tannish/brown head. There are rich chocolate and malt sides to the nose, while the beer does well to unite the hop and more sweet elements into a luxurious and dangerous package. An alcohol bite concludes each quaff and refreshes palettes for subsequent sips; additional flavors present in this beer…

Throughout the course of the last few years, Moriber has landed roles in Law & Order:…
Blanche De Chambly pours with an incredibly small amount of head and a hazy golden coloration. There is a little sugar and orange that can be discerned from the beer’s nose, while the first cursory sips yield hints of wheat, citrus fruits, and sweeter flavors. The beer is refreshing and sits in a position between more wheaty and fruity efforts; there is a considerable constellation of flavors that one can…

The Protokon contributes to the rich retro style that has been fostered in film, movies, and video games in the last few years. Adding his own contribution to the trend built up by Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon and the second season of Danger 5, director and writer Anthony de Lioncourt tells a compelling story about the steps that someone has to take when their happy life is absolutely destroyed.
Sitting on the fence is the current EP from Newcastle (Australia)’s Velvet Lane. What are the band’s favorite tracks on the EP? It’s a throw up between My Dear, Harlequin Lover, and Brian Jones, although we obviously have a soft spot for all of the tracks. Len (the bass player) really likes Harlequin Lover, although our collective favourite is most likely My Dear.
It’s a pleasure to sit down with The fundaMentals. You are promoting two 2014 releases – a six-track EP named Full Mental Jacket and Locked and Loaded, your latest single .
Can you describe your creative process to us? How does a song go from an initial germ of an idea to a full composition? Its all pretty loosely done to be honest. sometimes i might just be messing around with a synth and come up with a melody. other times ill have an idea stuck in my head and ill try recreate it within Logic. but once the melodies down…
The initial nose of Pinner is light on the hop elements and presents additional malt notes before one takes their first sip. Pinner, a dry-hopped India Pale Ale (IPA) pours light from the can but ends up a dark-yellow to orange coloration in a glass. There is considerable effervescence to the beer and a smallish amount of head; the hop aroma increases as it is allowed to open.
TJ Doyle begins On The Horizon with Neil Young-esque vocals, including richly emotive guitar work and a full sound to the backing instrumentation; Change is a track that could receive play on alternative or rock stations. Cold Rain has each element of Doyle’s band shine, whether it be the intricate and ropy bass line, the splashy drums, or TJ’s vocals that spread out authoritatively over the composition.
