I looked this definition up before I wrote this: “Anti-blooming: A phenomenon that occurs when an image sensor is overexposed. Blooming can cause inaccurate data in neighboring pixels, which can reduce image quality.” Keep this definition in mind as we go through this album review. It has been over 25 years of making music for […]
Seattle-based rock outfit The Unfit is about to release Disconnected, a 10-track LP via Share It Music on February 28th. This raucous unveiling follows the band’s 2022 debut EP, Ants in the Big Machine — a three-song salute to anarchy. Punk is not dead. And if there is any city known for pushing the boundaries […]
A warm delicious ‘fk you’ with a side of skank sauce? That’s exactly what the doctor ordered with Bite Me Bambi’s new Eat This ablum, a quick and dirty 8-song LP calling out bad boyfriends, haters, gaslighters… the entire human population at large — including “Girls Like You”. High-tempo, fast-action expertly executed ska experiences don’t […]
What defines an ‘escape’? Is it shoving responsibilities aside for frivolity? Is it a meditative state? Is it self-reflection or a look back on better times? Is it subliminal, embedded in the senses? What if it’s all of those things…? That’s the premise of Phantogram‘s fifth album — using color and sound to chase down […]
Black metal outfit Nachtmystium is back from hiatus! Blight Privilege, out now as of the first of November, is their ninth studio album — the first since they disbanded in 2020. But the band is back with a fresh new perspective. They have matured after a lot of negative events, rising up from the ashes […]
California’s up-and-coming goth rock outfit New Skeletal Faces dropped their newest album Until The Night in early November — and it’s something we’re still spinning on our analog-looking digital record player. Consisting of eight tracks, reminiscent of the 80s metal scene, ‘Until The Night’ delivers. From first to last, the album is a gory gothic […]
Finland is genuinely known for their snowy landscapes and northern lights. Well, hold on to that mellow though, because you are about to experience a band that will take you far, far away from anything tranquil — or that you have ever witnessed. Oranssi Pazuzu has unleashed their Muuntautuja album via Nuclear Blast Records. Since […]
The answer to human suffering is simple — just be really energetic and dance. At least, that is the motto electro duo SOFI TUKKER broadcasts in their latest album BREAD, complete with a delicious acronym you can never forget. ‘BREAD’ is the album you never know you kneaded. But before we preheat the oven, let’s […]
Power pop-meets-post punk band The Meringues have officially dropped their salivatory second album, Pavlova’s Dog. Consisting of Amanda Pants and Ted Evans at the core, the eccentric Canadian duo layer raspy, pelting vocals over pop-friendly riffs and melodies provided by Jackson Baird on bass and Alastair Morrison on drums — a contrast vast, complex, yet […]
Veteran pop rock quartet The Copyrights have resurfaced with a quick and easy EP entitled New Ghosts. A recount of old flames burnt to ashes, the four-song album expresses how time doesn’t necessarily heal all wounds — it just forms real ugly scars. Relationships are the fabric of our existence, yet simultaneously the undoing of […]
Italian punkers The Peawees have rolled out their seventh full-length album, One Ride, on September 6th — a high-velocity manual on surviving boredom through sporadic behavior. Considering the band originates from the quaint military town of La Spezia, Italy, it’s no surprise the band matures in sound — not attitude — over the years, as […]
Oh, how I do love bands that bend genres… Not normally an indie person, per se, I’m more of an ‘alt’ rocker (yes, there’s a difference). But if you add a little psychedelic reverb, echoes… a mix of acoustic and electric, you’ve got me hooked. And that’s exactly where I find myself with Wilderado‘s latest […]
Sometimes, dirty laundry is best aired to prevent a smell from inhabiting your closet. Indie pop, quasi-shoegaze duo CULTS know the imprisonment of past relationships all to well, channeling any ‘unfinished business’ with exs in their cathartic new album dedicated To The Ghosts. But not all ghosts are cut from the same cloth. Or bedsheet. […]

If someone were to ask you to envision ‘archetypal Southern rock’, you’d probably spout the names of CCR, Lynard Skynard, ZZ Top. You’d think of “Born on a Bayou” origins, swamps and gators, stretching Atlanta, Georgia down to New Orleans. Not Southern California… anywhere besides Southern California. Enter Robert Jon & The Wreck — capable […]
