Nando’s Peri-Peri (Towson, MD)
Nando’s Peri-Peri was founded in the 1980s in South Africa, and the concept has spread in the years since to the United States. The restaurant has set up shop in the Washington, DC, Baltimore, MD, and Chicago, IL markets. We started off with the Hummus with PERi-PERi Drizzle (5.95); the hummus was creamy, nutty, and one could infuse the stuff with any of Nando’s variety of PERi-PERi blends or the…
Eddie Brett He Does What He Wants EP Review
Lady In Red is an emotive track that will have listeners eagerly focused on Brett’s rich vocals.

Electric Peel (Magic Hat Brewing)
Citrus and grapefruit elements can oftentimes be experience in an India Pale Ale (IPA). However, Magic Hat has created in Electric Peel a beer that is unmistakably grapefruit-heavy. The beer pours with a dark yellow to gold coloration and a hazy white head that laces its way down a glass. The nose of Electric Peel is equal parts wheat and grapefruit, while the first sip an imbiber takes comes forth…
Bucking Bock (Rahr & Sons)
Rahr & Sons Brewing’s Bucking Bock pours with a golden-yellow coloration and a small amount of off-white head that sits on top. There is a good amount of wheat flavor that pokes through on the initial sip, while having a decent amount of malt that concludes the initial pull. As Bucking Bock continues to reach room temperature, the more sweet tastes become prevalent. A smaller amount of hops have been…

Lucy Rose Work It Out CD Review
An acoustic guitar and a voice can be a beautiful thing. In 2015 however, a time in which the Internet is saturated with acoustic and neo-folk singers ad-nauseam, an artist has to have something special to stand out within the sea of mediocrity.
Ron Louis Smith II – The Prince of Sunshine CD Review
Spank begins Ron Louis Smith II’s The Prince of Sunshine and it builds upon the work of his father (Ronald Louis Sr., one of the KC and the Sunshine Band originals) – there is a high-energy approach to the track that is honest to the original funk recordings but the frenetic pace of the composition and electrified sound makes this into something that works alongside Chromeo or Random Access Memories-era…

Simon & Garfunkel – The Complete Columbia Albums Collection (Vinyl)
Ever wonder who was the most pissed off guy in the 70’s? My money is on Art Garfunkel. Simon & Garfunkel had just left the 60’s behind with a few Grammys and a ton of stellar songs on their resume. After calling it quits, (apparently Garfunkel pulled the plug so he could embark on an acting career) Paul Simon took a year or two off and comes out with his…
