Rock, once thought to be dead and buried, is on a big comeback at the moment, you don’t have to look any further than the Canadian underground to appreciate what I’m talking about.

Dark pop doesn’t have to automatically equal self-indulgent songwriting themes, and if there’s one player who really wants this to be well-known in 2022, it’s Bob Dee. Together with his band, Petro, he’s melding excess with exquisite compositional discipline in the new single “(I’m Not Your) Steppin’ Stone,” with the results being a lot more

“Ballers Club” is the feisty new hit single from Gabby Gabanna. The hip hop/ R&B single is drunk with indulgent beats. Gabanna’s vocal delivery style is a mesh between rapid fire and an artist that lets the listener marinate in their golden-laced prowess. Gabanna, representing the East Coast-style of rapping hails from North Carolina, and

MUMEx Trio’s four song collection Folds of Time goes where few other musicians or bands can follow. It, likewise, should confound some cliches. Many believe that trained musicians with significant time studying and practicing their craft often play precisely but without passion, thinking too much, feeling too little. Louis Siciliano, Mauro Salvatore, and Bob Bellatalla’s first foray

Greye’s single “Everything” is a successor to its original version appearing on their second studio release, 2016’s The Worrier. There are scattered examples throughout popular music history over the last three-quarters of a century where musical artists, dissatisfied with a prior release or believing the track deserving of a revamp, pluck plums from their catalog and

Opening their latest release Chain Link with the one-two punch of the title track and “Groove Town” makes it clear that Little Muddy’s talents are built on solid fundamentals. Their familiarity with blues and rock doesn’t have any artistic distance; the band, particularly guitarist and dominant songwriter Rich Goldstein, wholeheartedly embrace those traditional sounds without ever imitating

Steve Markoff, Patricia Lazzara, and Allison Brewster Franzetti come together again on the A-Ha’s pop hit “Take On Me” with memorable results.

Atmospheric melodies are everywhere we listen in the new single “Time” from Leol, and although the track focuses as much on the backdrop as it does its lead singer, there’s no disputing who the true driving force of this song is. Leol presents with the kind of crisp, relaxed attitude more akin to the veteran

Mary Broadcast’s EP Panic reflects the Austrian born singer, songwriter, musician, and bandleader’s refusal to cookie cutter her artistic vision. She may object to the term, but Panic is a concept album built around a narrative arc extending over six songs. Broadcast includes an accompanying video for each of the EP’s six “episodes”, as she calls them, and the

Eric Scott Stevens’ “Burnt Umber” is an early contender for single of the year. The imaginative crackle sparking off the composition never hits me as flashy but, instead, as an authentic expression of the songwriter’s point of view. It doesn’t really matter if the material is what we might call autobiographical. Stevens so thoroughly inhabits

Bass virtuoso Leland Sklar is the core, polestar, the guiding light of the “BASS”, and of Rock-N-Roll itself. Aside from being the leading sessions bassist on the planet for 5 decades the poetry of his longevity is the fact that he evolves, and is able to reinvent himself and reinvent the future….He is already etched

Although it can be said that the guitar strings decadently adorning the backdrop throughout Dici’s new single “u n i” aren’t meant to be the main attraction in this track, they make a strong point for the melodic underpinning soon to follow the first few bars here. Anyone who knows anything about Dici is well
