You just gotta love it when artists aren’t afraid to explore, when their sound isn’t boxed and genuinely feels alive. JulianTheGirl’s “Tales From The Modem” is that kind of record: not built from trends or some formulaic pursuit of what is in but from genuine artistry and instinct. An artist knows how to open an […]
Here’s the thing about “Forsaken”: it’s not content to just exist as another riff-heavy alt-rock track. It feels like it’s arguing with itself; a slow-motion collapse disguised as a song. Rooftop Screamers, the ongoing project of Portland veteran Mike Collins, has always been a space for collaboration, but here, with Stephen McSwain on vocals, Collins

Every so often, a song comes along that doesn’t try to overwhelm you. It just sits beside you, patiently, until you realize it’s been saying something important the whole time. “Wasteland Whispers,” the new track from Indianapolis alt-rock outfit Pentrilox, is one of those songs. It’s not a cry into the void so much as
Don’t you just love it when a track has a good amount of balance between wit and groove? Especially when underneath its tongue in cheek surface lies something ironic, clever, and real. That’s how DownTown Mystic nails his latest comeback track “Somebody’s Always Doin’ Something 2 Somebody”. DownTown Mystic is the brainchild of American Rocker
Every artist has one song that feels less like a career move and more like an act of preservation; a way to keep someone, or something, alive in sound. For Ashley Wolfe, the Denver-based artist behind Blind Man’s Daughter, that song is “Harbor Boulevard.” A departure from her usual genre-defying mix of progressive rock, metal,

“I’m my biggest fan,” Trueclaw admits, and honestly, fair enough. If I wrote something this pretty, I’d probably be insufferable too. That line isn’t bravado; it’s survival. When you’re an independent artist from Uppsala, Sweden; writing, producing, mixing, and probably spiritually communing with your DAW at 3 a.m, self-belief isn’t a luxury. It’s a fuel

When I reviewed Michellar’s “Never Say Sorry,” I called it a diary entry set to music; a song that quietly refused to play by the rules of modern pop vulnerability. It was small, deliberate, and human in all the ways streaming culture tends to erase. But with “Truth Over Lies,” Michellar flips that intimacy outward.
