For a band barely four years into their journey, Stigma sound like they’ve lived a thousand lives – and their full length debut “Second Chance” bears the weight of every one of them.
Gritty, melodic, and lyrically rich, this album is a defiant statement of identity and intent from a German alt metal act that refuses to be boxed in by genre conventions or industry trends.
Lot Lizards are a melodic punk band from Florida. When I heard the first single of their album “The Surprise of Adulting” I knew I had to check out the whole album, and holy shit, what an album it was. As someone who grew up listening to the Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater sound tracks religiously, […]
Some songs arrive like a whisper that won’t leave you alone. Havilah Tower’s “Open Wide” is one of those.
This is a track that slowly unravels and asks the question – what happens when you finally realize the life you built may not be the life you really wanted?
“La Onda gives us a place to come together. The culture and the people make me feel like I belong – because there aren’t many places like this for us.”That was the response from one attendee when I asked, ¿Qué significa La Onda para ti? And honestly, I couldn’t have said it better myself. La […]
Reeya Banerjee’s “Misery of Place” kicks open the door to her upcoming album “This Place” with a power chord.
At first listen, it’s a swaggering 90’s inspired pop rock track with crunchy guitars and a sharp vocal delivery. But underneath the smirk lies a song wrestling with something deeper – how the places we live shape the people we become.
With their new single “Stack ‘Em Up Baby,” Lil’ Red & The Rooster effortlessly breathe new life into the blues, with a sound that’s as fresh as it is timeless.
Hello again and welcome back to my front porch, my happy place. The fighting teens and screaming toddler have been banished to the inside of the house to have it out thunder-dome style. Last week I gave you a taste of four of my can’t miss bands at Bonnaroo, this week I am going to […]
Few artists bridge the gap between conceptual art and immersive listening quite like Ben Neill.
A composer, performer and the inventor of the electro acoustic Mutantrumpet, Neill has long been known for bending the boundaries of sound and fusing acoustic tradition with digital innovation.
But with Morphic Resonance, the first release from his forthcoming album Amalgam Sphere, Neill enters especially ambitious territory as he explores the radical theories of evolutionary biologist Rupert Sheldrake.
In an era where musical virtuosity is often measured by speed, scale or bombast, Pete Calandra’s new album Night Mist takes the opposite approach: a deliberate slowing down.
The result is a profoundly soothing, emotionally resonant collection of ambient tinged solo piano pieces that feel less like songs and more like whispers from within.
Night Mist, out now on all streaming platforms, is not Calandra’s first foray into quietude. The New York based composer and pianist has long explored the ambient and cinematic edges of instrumental music with albums like First Light and Carpe Noctem. But Night Mist is his most intimate and distilled work to date. It’s a cohesive 11 track meditation on breath, space and emotional subtlety.

Welcome back! I’ve read the email replies, and honestly guys, if you came back to read this one it’s on you, not me. I don’t know how old you think I am Kyndal from Tennessee, but I guarantee you ma’am I’m not a “boomer”. I can also guarantee you I do not wear my shorts […]
