Sean MacLeod – That’s When the Earth Become a Star
Sean MacLeod has been kicking around the music game for over three decades, going back to his days in the Dublin band Cisco. He’s also a author and filmmaker with a PhD in Music Composition. The guy knows his stuff. Now he’s back with his fifth solo album, “That’s When the Earth Become a Star“, […]
CREEPS – I will follow you
These Czech bruisers have been around since 2004, but they’re not resting on old glory. CREEPS went quiet for a long stretch, then came roaring back in 2026 with “Two Against The World.” Now they’re back again with “I Will Follow You,” and it’s a beast of a different colour. Still guitar-driven, still heavy, but this time […]
Blindness & Light – What Else?
There’s a band out there that doesn’t give a single damn about fitting into a neat little box, and they’ve got a new track called “What Else?” that proves it. This is Blindness & Light—a loose, sprawling collective that stretches from Anglesey to Yorkshire, with a few stragglers in Japan and Argentina. They’re not your typical […]
The Timbre Project – Bass River Sessions
Let’s not beat around the bush. The Timbre Project just dropped “Bass River Sessions“, and it’s a ten-track, 39-minute rock record that feels like a long, honest talk with a buddy who’s seen some things. This isn’t plastic pop. It’s meat-and-potatoes songwriting with grit under its nails. The band is Jaime d’Almeida, David Zimmerman, and […]
I Plead Irony – This Monologue Conversation
I Plead Irony just dropped their third album, “This Monologue Conversation“, and it’s the kind of record that reminds you why rock music still matters. This isn’t some overhyped, flash-in-the-pan garbage. This is a ten-year labour of love from three mates who have been slugging it out together since around 2004. Rauf Jordan on bass […]
Eli Wise – Ghosts and Logic
After nearly a decade away from the game, Bay Area songwriter, composer, and multi-instrumentalist Eli Wise is back, and he’s swinging hard with his new EP “Ghosts and Logic“. This thing is only three tracks and just over ten minutes long, but Eli crammed a lifetime of pain, rebuilding, and pure rock-and-roll defiance into those […]
Grumbeaux – Now Is Near
There’s a documentary about Tim Z. Hernandez, a writer who spent over a decade chasing down the names of passengers who died in a California plane crash. Those folks were written off as “deportees” in newspapers, but Woody Guthrie turned their story into a poem that later became a song covered by Johnny Cash, Joan […]
Lawrence Timoni – Cheap Glass Halo
This one snuck up on me. Lawrence Timoni doesn’t come out swinging with a wall of distortion or a screaming chorus. Instead, he builds “Cheap Glass Halo” from the ground up using claps, snaps, and percussion tapped out on an acoustic guitar. It’s a stripped-back, almost skeletal start that slowly gets fleshed out with vibes, bass, and […]
John Muka Band – Bus Stop
There’s a weird kind of magic when a song written twenty years ago suddenly nails the exact mood of today. That’s exactly what John Muka Band has done with “Bus Stop.” This thing was penned back in the early 2000s, right in the thick of the fear and fog that followed September 11. Muka watched the world […]
Trude and Soldiers – Relic
Holy hell, this one’s a trip. Trude and Soldiers aren’t playing nice with genre boundaries, and “Relic” is a haunting, theatrical beast that drags you through a war museum like a ghost. Let me break it down for you. First, the setup. This avant-garde crew was born in Frankfurt am Main, Germany, and they got their start […]
Drums For Clowns – Grave Concern
Alright, grab your headphones and brace yourself, because Drums For Clowns just dropped a track that’s gonna sit in your chest long after the last chord dies. These guys have been grinding for years, moving units by the millions and building a fanbase across Europe, North America, and Canada. They know how to write songs that don’t […]
Mark Garvey – Truck Fump
Mark Garvey isn’t here to make you feel comfortable. He’s a one-man wrecking crew – no label, no producer, no band. He does everything himself: the music, the films, the whole damn visual universe. And he does it all inside Adobe Premiere Pro, of all things. That’s not a gimmick, that’s a statement. He’s building from […]
