Classic alternative rock is making a big return to the spotlight in 2023, and if you’re a little skeptical of this statement, I honestly don’t blame you – as a critic, it’s rather hard to deny that rock hasn’t exactly been on top of the world for a while. Even with this being the case,

Lyrics can both tell us a story and offer us deeper insight into the emotional depth of the person composing them, but in the new single from Leo Sawikin, the aptly-titled “Hold On,” they undisputedly do both. Sawikin relates to the listener in poetic terminology on the conventional level only when it is convenient to
So excited to talk more with the talented Keegan Jacko. We love your voice! You have a new single you just dropped. How are you feeling about it? Excited? Nervous? Both? To be honest I’m just happy to finally get that song out there for people to hear. I worked on that song 2 years
While there’s no denying the wealth of the instrumentation that Daniel Grindstaff presents in his new single “Three Arrows” collectively, if there’s one element worth singling out in a breakdown of this track, it’s likely the sterling banjo parts. If you’re as much a fan of indie music as I am, you’re already aware of
There are some instances in which a single strand of melodic ribbonry can communicate more without lyrics than it can with their company, but that’s not quite what transpires in the “Dangerous Love,” “Shadows,” and “Thinking Bout You,” the three songs comprising the new record from Kirsten Collins, Floura, which is out this spring everywhere quality
When a musician manages to release a few well-received LPs throughout their career, history tells us that everything we need to learn about the depth of the player’s craft can be found in the tracklist of the first and last of this set. Enter Sasha Leonov’s Nomad; in his latest release, the noted singer/songwriter is committed
When you’ve got as unique a sound as Elektragaaz’s, it can be difficult to fit all of the monolithic power of your music into a single disc, but even with that being the case for most artists, the underground band still manages to pull off such a feat in their new EP Your Own Private Cinema Part 1. Your
Scores for television programs and movies are all too often an unappreciated musical genre. We take them for granted. Remove these musical pieces from the aforementioned mediums, however, and you’d notice their absence fast. Such scores enhance the dramatic bent of programming and narrative alike and the best composers in that style tailor their music
In the new music video for his single “Two Bleeding Hearts,” singer/songwriter Bruce Sudano once again establishes himself as much more than just another independent pop musician looking to break the mold in this unfolding era for the genre; for this release, he demonstrates how important magnetizing poetry is to his songcraft.

Denmark’s Thomas Charlie Pedersen’s dazzling songwriting skill covers all the bases. His fifteen song release Employees Must Wash Hands always returns, in the end, to a core neo-folk sound, but there are so many digressions along the way that I come away from hearing this album for the first time convinced there’s little he cannot do.
Harmonizing in an almost divine fashion, the intertwining melodies that define “Gorilla” behind the physical part of the track are some of the most heavenly you’re going to hear on Project Grand Slam’s It’s Alive! LP, but make no mistakes about it – they’re hardly the only element that makes this disc worth taking a peek at
Detroit born Clayton John cut his teeth on the best pop music of the 1960’s and 1970’s growing up and those influences shine bright in his new single “River”. Now living in the Tulsa, Oklahoma area, Clayton has busied himself in recent years playing live at a wide variety of venues whenever opportunity presents itself.
The duo Migrant Motel is an alt-pop unit marrying the talents of drummer and Mexican native Chava Ilizaliturri with Peruvian/American bassist and vocalist David Stewart Jr. into an unique pairing. The tandem first connected during their college years in the Boston area and soon established an ever-growing fanbase throughout Latin America, Mexico, and the United
Gargantuan grooves are just waiting to come alive as we enter Energy’s debut album Rock Party, and as we soon learn in the eight tracks comprising its totality, there isn’t any stop that this band won’t pull out in their mission to engage us with their broad-shouldered musicality. “Rock Party” gets us rolling with brute
Raised in suburban Connecticut, Filipino-American Jeremy Calvar embodies the real American Dream, not some cliché. Adopting the work hard and dream big ethos of his parents has served him well as a musician and his new single “Lightfoot Sunflower” reflects that discipline in action. It’s his latest musical foray since the act formed with his
How would you classify your music? It’s a blend of New Country, and traditional Country. 90’s Country on steroids! Lol Who are some of your top 5 musical influences? Keith Whitley 2. Ricky Skaggs 3. Vince Gill 4. Brad Paisley 5. George Strait What do you want fans to take from your music? I just
The new single “Ain’t the Beer” that Buffalo, Wyoming’s Geoff Buell isn’t your everyday country artist. The vocalist, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist is carving out a reputation fast for his traditional yet thoroughly contemporary approach. He relocated to Nashville with his mother at the age of two so she might have the opportunity to pursue her
Vocal charisma has always been Ezra Vancil’s strongest suit, but it might take a backseat to the compositional diversity of his new EP We Were Wild this month. Produced at the highest of standards and made to represent so much more than just another pop record in a sea of interesting releases this year, We Were Wild invites its
Retro in one track but cutting and full of a modern edge at the same time in the next, there’s no understating the importance of the riffs in the new album Anything Could Happen by Go Time!. In songs like “Burden of Proof” and “Head Space,” they express an honesty that words simply cannot get across on
Michelle Shafer is singing with a lot of passion behind her every word in the new single ”One Breach,” an eroticized hue of retro baroque swagger haunting her words in the ascending instrumental melody beside her. Shafer is a beacon of light in an otherwise enchantingly dark landscape in this latest release, and though “One Breach”
