Anyone who has been following the evolution of music through the last thirty years will tell you that there isn’t nearly as much instrumental showmanship in the greater realm of pop as there used to be, but for Melissa Grey, David Morneau, and Robert Kirkbride, the current trends their contemporaries are following do not seem

Little King’s new single “Silver Tongue” is a sonic journey that takes listeners on a wild ride through various genres and emotions. The track is a culmination of the band’s 25-year history and serves as a testament to their ability to continuously evolve and push boundaries in the rock genre. Taking on pieces of the
The Price Brothers Band’s release Live at Yellow Cab Tavern affords singer/songwriter Pete Price the opportunity to showcase material from his recent album Department of the Interior. The baker’s dozen track listing includes one cover, a spirited rendering of the classic “The Letter”, but even this rendition stays close to the driving force behind Price’s songs. The recording is
“High Like This,” the new wicked good single from Avatari, is essentially built like a conventional pop song, but it’s missing one key component found in almost every one of the genre’s mainstream releases to hit the FM dial in the past three years – aesthetical arrogance. Avatari isn’t showboating with some rough-edged hybridity here,
Gabriel Saro is a multi-talented artist that you need to have on your radar! He’s recently teamed up with Charlotte Grisley to release two new singles that are guaranteed to give you all the feels. “I Love The New Years Day” and “Come To My Place” are the perfect mix of classic balladry and modern
Playing out like a classic rock singlet that drops on the radio at just the right moment in our day, Christopher Banks’ “Angry Letter” is perhaps the best means of getting a close look inside the mind behind Anxious Attachment, his new album. FACEBOOK: https://www.facebook.com/musicchristopherbanks As spellbinding as some of the psychedelic-tinged framework is, it’s got
Jimmy Goings’ new single “World At War” off of his upcoming album Late Check In is a groovy rock track that brings back the classic sounds of the late 1970s. The song is a powerful commentary on the state of the world, with lyrics that remind us that even though it was written and recorded
Boldly melodic & as colorful as any beat in his music, is Joey Berkley’s wit as a player & composer. The track “Alamo” is a stunning showcase of talents for this sensational musician. Jazz has always been defined by its greatest minds as opposed to its most impressive muscle, but in this domineering effort, Berkley
Careening out of the darkness with an especially experimental groove behind every melody, the title track in Thomas Truax’s Dream Catching Songs welcomes listeners into this 2023 classic unafraid of the risk that comes with being extraordinary, and as we’ll soon learn, this feature helps to produce every powerful moment in this LP. While “Everything’s Going to
While it might not have a place among the TikTok-centric music of the now, Cameron Joseph’s newest single “Run to the Cross” is a song that paints itself with a delicate brush, giving its religious background the stage completely while still focusing on positioning itself as a song that could still get plenty of mainstream
Delicate voices can carry a lot more weight than anyone realizes until you hear a song like “Your Angel” from Natalie Joly – and it sets everyone straight right there on the spot. Joly’s voice is one of the more fragile of any I’ve heard in her scene for the better part of the last
Rather than trying to fill in the space between beats with lyricism that wouldn’t have come close to capturing the mood as well as the music does, Richga is keeping it simple with his new single “Dance Exorcist.” Playing out exactly as its title would imply it should this is a track that demands movement
Adrenaline and rock n’ roll grit are the name of the game in the new single “Dirty Sweet” from Ten Ton Mojo, but I would hesitate to call this the kind of meathead rock a lot of their retro contemporaries have been pumping out lately. TTM approach the concept of big grooves and enormous riffing
A little humble, more brooding than it has to be, and constantly reinforced by the texture of the instrumental play it’s surrounded by, Ann Brita Nilsson’s lead vocal in the new EP Eleven Something occasionally verges on countrified aesthetics tethering folk-rock and dark, post-new wave pop but it never becomes defined by scene politics. Although I wouldn’t
The truest of artists never stop growing with their medium, and in his new single “Love One Another,” singer/songwriter Ranzel X Kendrick under the moniker Alias Wayne challenges himself with the task of doing what few players can – taking someone else’s song and making it feel like your own. His soft-spoken vocal is perhaps
To say that it isn’t easy to make a provocative pop song in 2023 just isn’t doing the job justice – in reality, it’s one of the hardest tasks that a modern musician can undertake, but this didn’t stop Ajay Mathur from putting his heart and soul into “Common Mistake” this month.

Beyond a brief but important introduction, a vocal track is waiting to take over the center stage in “Helicopter,” the new single from up-and-coming pop singer/songwriter Taylor Jules, but it will soon be joined by a rollicking bass groove that will colorize every beat coming from the drums. The instrumentation is moving like a mild hurricane, and
Creating a sense of emotions as strong as regret, reflection, and raw vulnerability can be is one of the great tasks that all acts face when trying to record something meaningful, and in their new single “Dirt Roads,” Atomic Junkshot manages to do as much whilst remaining relatively simple in their approach. From the moment
Those who would tell you contemporary indie music doesn’t work with the sleek pop hooks it used to in modern times just weren’t expecting a band like Bobby and the Crew to rise through the ranks in the last year, and with their new single “Let the Candle Burn,” the group puts an exclamation point
Arising from the angst-ridden silence on the back of a warm melody bound to defrost the iciness implied by the absence of sound only moments before, “The Struggle to Live” doesn’t spend a lot of time building up the tension in the air around us before ushering forth a harmony as powerful as the seasons
