Track Review

Scott’s Tees’ “We Move As Fast As Storms Allow” is one of the few cuts that meets you there without drowning in sentimentality. Scott’s Tees is an artist from Edmonton, Canada, drawing influences […]

Few records leave you with a feeling you can’t name, even when it was never yours in the first place. GISKE’s “The Sound of Birdsong” linger like that, pulling you into a space between midnight and sunrise. It’s quiet but never hollow, melancholic yet never drowning, it’s the sound of folk-pop done right. GISKE is

As a musician, covering songs is second to none, but what if that song came from a legend? Yes, you’ve read that right. Dirt Preachers Union and Joey Harris covered a song from the late Paul Kamanski. Join me as I discuss why ‘Flowers’ is now their original track. ‘Flowers’ started with this draggy-sounding feeling

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

Picture this. It’s 2 AM and you’re with the love of your life. The city lights are starting to succumb into the night as the world starts to slow down. It’s the kind of moment that calls for a soulful, sultry sound to match the vibe. That’s where Kendra Chanae and Bren.d.o’s “Electric Love Affair”

A hip-hop track so good it feels like a street poster with graffiti fonts and vibrant colors made to be plastered on every corner of the city? That’s the exact energy Abyss16‘s “The Other CAR” gives, where pride, culture, and bars is present in every beat. Hailing from Oxnard, United States, Abyss16 steps on the

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,

There’s something so fragile and human when a song is born out of a personal experience. That’s how MayaAgnes’ “Starve” gets into your head, then you’re never the same. Soul-pop artist and storyteller MayaAgnes is back with Starve, her boldest release to date, which blends adult contemporary pop, cinematic rock, and intimate indie textures. What’s
