Jagged and juddering whip cracks of pure power prickle against the speaker with such scintillating force that it leaves a tingling sensation that lingers long after the track is done, this is raw pure electricity and it feels divine.

New Music - John Derek Bishop 'PI' Album Review

As fragile as a falling raindrop with the weight, depth, and mass of a black hole, PI is an album that can pass by in the blink of an eye or stretch out for eternity. It cannot be measured in timestamps and play counts, it exists outside of that, it is both liminal space and the destination. It is a work of art, and it is nothing at all.

New Music - Dark Dazey 'Enemy'

Dark Dazey put the art back into artist and 'Enemy' is a track that feels like classical painting with enough cultural clout, skill, and relevance that it should be hung in a museum. With its vivid imagery, vibrant color, and brilliantly unique style and shape, you can enjoy it from a completely aesthetic surface level, or look a little deeper, and get lost in the enormity of its message and meaning for hours.

NEW MUSIC - HOLY POPES 'APPLES'

This is music with a message, and its monumental enough to send seismic waves out from the stage to start a movement that doesn't just pummel the pit, but keeps those feet marching out into the streets. The law dealers and policy makers will hear the barking echo of this ferocious chorus' call in the very near future.

Playfully poetic and powerful, this is music that doesn't take itself too seriously and in doing so leaves a serious impact. The bizarre and barmy bardic storytelling effortlessly fuses with the oozing juices of the classical country Americana at its heart and creates tracks filled with humour, character and life....

New Music - Bobby Wallisch Jr. & Acid.Prof 'Pánta Rheî'

Marrying Greek philosophy with the fun loving and frenetic frenzy of the American bop punk scene, this is a track weighted with the meaning of existence, but lightens the heavy load with its irresistible call to dance.

New Music - The Human Fund 'Everyone Is A Poser Except Larry The Cucumber'

With riotous energy, cheeky humour, and a powerful punk punch, this is a track that slaps its righteous message around the cheeks of the pretentious and ill-mannered punk posers that populate the live music scene.

New Music - Lizzy and the Palm 'Snow'

Jazzy and joyous with a folk flavouring to the simple storytelling at its core, this is music that the musicians poured soul and smiles into. It lingers on the ear and in the mind like the warm hug of a hot cup of cocoa does the tongue and the tummy.

Featured Artist Friday: Jovi Skyler 'Nothing To Do' Album Review

Jovi Skyler is a rare breed of beast, there is a feral ferocity to the way they tear tooth and claw into a track. It isn't pretty; it is torn tendons, broken bones, and bathed in blood. There is no restraint or ego to the sound, it isn't trying to be "cool", it is unapologetically unusual, it's rough around the edges and beautifully sincere.

New Music Alex Ashley Music 'Honeychild'

Smoother than a sip of whiskey, and with just as much bite and soulful smokey flavor, this is a voice that straddles the intricate instrumentation underneath with the grace of a seasoned cowboy heading into the groovy wild west.

New Music - Ghalia Volt 'Changes'

Massive monstrous vocals that tear through a sultry sauntering serenade that tempts the listener deep into its powerful but playful sound. While 'Changes' itself has a feel good flavor, the rootsy bluesey notes that make up the base lend it some gravel, grit, and gumption. This is a novel and new sound, but it wears its old soul with pride.
