Truth in Fables is an emotive rock track in the vein of Train and The Wallflowers; there is an instrumental complexity here that belies the radio-friendly sound of the act.

trioKAIT is a piano trio for a random-access generation. On their self-titled debut, (available on July 31), the funky and eclectic Los Angeles-based trio – pianist Kait Dunton, electric bassist Cooper Appelt, and drummer Jake Reed – shuffles wide-ranging influences and Dunton’s unconventional compositions into a refreshingly modern take on instrumental music that is as uncategorizable as it is infectious.

Taken together, the beer is something that…

The Prodigal Son Returns EP is a five-song collection that provides listeners with a brief introduction into the inimitable style of Bronx’s own MrE. The two tracks – Prodigal Son and Prodigal Progenies – comprise the efforts on this EP. Unlike a number of different singles, the different iterations of each of the tracks represent different takes on a theme, rather than songs that have been tweaked slightly. This means…
The Grave is a powerful introduction to Cincinnati’s Royal Holland’s latest effort, Volume Two: Flamingo. There are hints of Radiohead, Bright Eyes, and even the dust-swept singer-songwriters of era past. What results with this introductory salvo is something that is immersive, compelling, and will have listeners sitting on the edges of their seats until the titular track on Flamingo begins. The funkier sound of Flamingo showcases a duality to Royal…
The Mission Belt is the best belt that I have ever worn. The leather that the company uses is very thick and an actual piece of leather rather than being bonded together with strips. There is a unique sort of fastener that the Mission Belt company includes with their offerings that allows one to ratchet the belt to the proper tightness without having to use one of two ill-fitting holes.…
There is a certain richness to the sound created by the Monster iSport Freedom Bluetooth Wireless headphones that put them head and shoulders above other similar wireless headphones and headsets that are on the market. The noise-isolation technology works perfectly with both ways – the outside music and ambient noise is wholly blocked out to ensure that users will only hear their audio, while the iSport Freedom blocks the music…
Mz Rockastella comes forth on her latest single M.I.B. with a rapid rap style in the vein of Nicki Minaj; there is enough in the way of twists and turns that are presented during this track to keep a high momentum. The production of M.I.B. links together trap and mid-2000s Atlanta rap to make something that straddles the line between rap radio and deep and dirty gangster fare. The different…

Tonight I got to witness Ian Svenonius at Ace of Cups in Columbus, OH doing again what that man was always meant to do and that’s to entertain. I don’t want to end up sounding like I’m biased but goddamn can that man put on a show! He has been doing this since ’88 with Nation of Ulysses, which was one of the bands that made that bridge between punk…
Caldera has created an IPA that pours with a brownish-orange and possesses a nose that does not provide much of an indication where the beer will ultimately take imbibers. The initial sip will fill in some of these gaps, with light amount of floral notes and a bold hop element. There is a smaller amount of sweetness that can be discerned towards the end of each sip. As Caldera’s IPA…
