In his latest demos “Natural Stupidity,” “Bad Cannot Be Good,” and “These Old People” Paul Nourigat explores the depth of his melodicism with easygoing energy mostly absent from his closest rivals’ recordings, and the results of his labored efforts are quite charming indeed. The melodies in songs like “Natural Stupidity” are especially a festival of
Singer/songwriter Greg Loftus has been on a roll in the last few years of his career. In 2020, he cut The Soft Sound of Sundown to a warm reception from critics and fans alike, following up on a career of output that was more than ready for a compilation piece. Now in 2022, he’s emerging
A rollicking percussive beat. Lush guitar melodies. An inviting harmony forms somewhere in between. For Dino Jag, playing by his own rules comes standard with the territory that is the recording studio, and in his new single “Shake a Leg Like Elvis,” we get an idea of just how committed he is to making music
We’re getting to the point where a lot of our favorite creatives are going to start releasing anniversary sets and retrospectives to things we thought just got released last week; there’s no way so-and-so is THAT old, right? Unfortunately, Green Day’s American Idiot is almost twenty years old, Nirvana broke up almost thirty years ago,
Varying in tone, but constantly sporting just as much color as David Arn’s vocal does, the guitar element in the singer/songwriter’s new album, Watershed, is the most communicative component of the record, outside of the lyrics. On its own, the guitar part in “Blood and Bone” might not do much to advance a theme of
A unique, smooth sounding Texas country singer-songwriter, Copperhead Jones first started writing songs in 2012 while deployed with the United States Navy. Living in various places throughout his adult life has given him the ability to write songs that cover not only the true feel of the country way of life but also the shine
In his new single “Merry Christmas in Heaven,” singer/songwriter Rob Alexander brings classic pop/rock harmonies together with the spirit of the season in a way that few other indie artists have this year. Critics have been abuzz with the December treat since its initial release, and it isn’t difficult to understand why when indulging in
Caving in on us with basslines one moment and clashing into textured walls of percussive noise in the next, Empire of Dis provides an unsettling walk among the sonic tombstones that is almost certain to provide goth metal fans with a special fix as the season changes from summer to fall.

It’s hard to make a simple masterpiece when you have as much to say as singer and songwriter Sun King Rising does in the album Signs & Wonders; nonetheless, armed with a natural talent he isn’t afraid to use to his advantage, the skilled player does this across eleven of the more intriguing songs I’ve heard
Heat the Silent is the ambitious seven track work from the MUMEx Duo, an one of a kind jazz outfit featuring the talents of Mauro Salvatore on drums and Louis Siciliano on piano. It isn’t the duo’s first collaboration and those familiar with their prior work will likely agree that the new album rates as the
Ludlow Creek began creative life in 2013 as Southbound, a cover band covering a little bit of everything with a guitar in it, and toured extensively throughout the region from their Dayton, Ohio headquarters. This crack ensemble of musicians had little to no difficulty establishing themselves as one of the area’s premier live units. They
Fiercely unique and independent with folk blues and rocker vibes, singer/songwriters Angela Perry and Steve Paul formed the duo group Thistle Breeze in 2021. Using distinct harmonies, Angela and Steve’s music reflects the story of the soul in all of its idiosyncrasy: joy, heartbreak, despair, loneliness, happiness. Angela, a small town Kansas girl, brings a
There are layers to the collective identity of rock music, but Barista is more than aware of this. In the album Justice Now, we aren’t staring down the barrel of assaultive grooves and pulverizing riffs alone, but instead genuine harmonies and lush melodic divots where our singers can find optimum footing. There are lyrical questions
Described as, “A thoughtful, heart-on-sleeve and thoroughly engaging brand of alternative rock/pop-punk, nodding to what sounds like a dexterous array of influences from across alternative.

Iva Toric’s new single “Trust Fall” is the third single release from her second album Dead Reckoning. The San Francisco based singer/songwriter made her first big splash on the scene with 2020’s dark gem The Devil’s Mark, a collection serving notice that a new female singer in the metal world had emerged. She doesn’t follow in the
Modern blues albums are becoming harder and harder to find; everything either dips too deep into the pockets of country, metal, or alternative rock, and genuine blues-rock falls by the wayside. In some instances, such as Bob Dylan’s grand statement of an album Rough & Rowdy Ways, an elder statesman of bygone genres will come
Live at SteelStacks, at first glance, may seem like a paltry offering or holding action. Project Grand Slam’s new EP boasts five tracks but newcomers and longtime fans of Robert Miller’s band of virtuoso musicians and a knockout singer will both come away satisfied from this collection. Five tracks cannot even begin to do justice
Medal Militia is the premier Metallica tribute band in Florida. Founded in late 2012 by lead guitarist James Obrien while he was stationed at Mayport Naval Station.
