If you remember our interview with Dave Shanaberger of Alberta, you will remember our discussion about listeners characterizing his sound as Yankee Indie…but neither of us know what the hell that means. After listening to It’s A Viral Darling, I know I can give you a description you will understand. Let’s try Ameri-folk-rock. Dave’s composition […]

“Mammals Amongst Us” shout All dogs Invited
Brother/Sister duo Edward and Alex Bell along with drummer Cody Jako joined forces in Iowa City to “create a musical style they had never ventured in before. The songs are led by guitarist and lyricist Cody Janko, as he creates characters that experience tales of love, hate, defeat, and conquest, all while keeping an optimistic […]
Matthew Heller Arrives With Face Melting Rock n’ Roll Soul
Portland, Oregon’s Matthew Heller is here with his self-titled release. Heller’s music is aptly described as post-grunge folk. Others have compared him to Billy Corgan and the Smashing Pumpkins. I don’t really see it but I did ask him about it in our recent interview. Here’s my opinion. Matthew’s music is what happens when your […]
Sweet, Bad Loving – Jasmin Dolly
One year! One freakin’ year! I never know what to expect when I open my inbox. Sometimes I get something mind-blowing. Jasmin Dolly sent her package over and asked if I knew anything about electronic pop music. I didn’t want to tell her that I grew up on Manheim Steamroller and Kraftwerk long before she […]
Manthei – soundtrack for Life
Canadian singer, composer performer Mark Manthei sent me a request the other day that was a bit different. He asked my opinion on what genre to classify his music in. That’s a hard one to answer. Of course he was also interested in MidTn’s opinion of his work. The first track I got to was […]
Madness of the Night
Abir and Daniel Lillman decided it was time for something new. After years of working with other projects, 2012 inspired them to create the goth rock opera known as Madness of the Night. A few months into the creative process the Swedish rockers released their single ‘We Are Gothrockers and We Don’t Care’ which became […]
Blood Dancer Tell This Planet’s Brutal History – Classic Metal Style
Blood Dancer is an epic novel exploring the brutal history of human existence…in the form of in-your-face, raging classic metal. We recently interviewed the band and here is what they said about their influences: I’m influenced by the bands from the “New Wave of British Heavy Metal” like Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, Motorhead. I love […]
Sonic Nights gets “Back In My Head”
For some reason, I’m trying to come down on Sonic Nights’ ep “Mirrors”, but I can’t bring myself to do it. Perhaps it’s just a good record that’s aimed at a different market than I was in the mood for on first listen. Maybe it’s that the production is just incredibly good for an indie […]
“This Time Next Year” it Will Be A Hit!
Holy mixing-tables, Batman! C-Zar Van Gogh is insistant that somebody is going to make me like hip-hop. I got a disc from C-Zar Van Gogh outta the Big Apple, yesterday, and it is one of the best records I’ve heard all year. Yeah, didn’t expect that from me, did you? This cat is magnificent. Not […]
Bellamys Jesse and Noah, drive hard – “Driven Back”
Big thanks to Kim Grant for sending me a copy of “Driven Back” by Jesse and Noah (Bellamy – yep more Bellamy brothers) of Franklin, Tennesse. This isn’t the first I’ve heard from the brothers, but it is definitely the best yet, and that’s saying something. I really don’t know how to classify the record, […]
