Ever heard of a band called Free Radicals? Well, if you have, you know how amazing they are and if you haven’t, I’m here to let you know.

Jungle Man Sam drops “Dive Deep” single

Toronto, Canada is the last place you think of when you hear ‘jungle man’. Indeed, Jungle Man Sam holds down a Canadian reggae presence, with music infused with pop, dance, soca, reggaeton and more. Seemingly born wanderlust, JMS transposes sounds from his exotic travels into song, serving his listeners a sweet slice of cultural pie […]

Gisto to drop ‘OMW’ LP

Trap/hip hop artist Gisto is on his way to releasing his sophomore album OMW, exactly one year after his Orbitz EP blasted his career higher than his clientele.

Colorado-based band Tatanka is at it again, with all the bells and whistles coming out of the woodwork with their new single, “Love Is Medicine”. And, what would woodwork be without trees?

Dirty Heads ‘Swim Team’ album review

Some bands stick to a certain sound and a niche market. You know, the whole ‘if it’s not broke, don’t fix it’ mentality. If you haven’t noticed by now, the Dirty Heads boys dare to be different.

The Green ‘Marching Orders’ album review

The Green’s new album, Marching Orders, has all the relaxed guitar riffs, lush vocals, and nostalgic lyrics you could hope for in an early fall release.

New Kingston ‘A Kingston Story: Come From Far’ review

After crafting three immaculate full albums of outstanding reggae tunes, New Kingston has returned this year with a much more “mature” release, a term that is usually code for either boring or uninspiring.

The Ellameno Beat unleashes ‘Surface’ album

Living at the beach usually accompanies a laidback vibe – whether you’re a surfer, a sun tanner, a yogi, or a yacht clubber.

One group in particular who […]

The Dubplates ‘Box Full Of Steel’ album review

The Dubplates’ new album Box Full Of Steel is concurrently refreshing and reminiscent.

The Dubplates is undoubtedly playing the heck out of their songs in concert, […]
