Jason Priest : Jason Priest Is Missing

You know the saying, “role of a lifetime”? Well I feel that musician/film composer Antoni Maiovvi has found that role in the worn-out, leather boots of post-punk/new wave survivor Jason Priest. Priest is the nom de plume which Maiovvi has taken for his latest musical project, which is an all-out jagged pop album with edges […]

Daniel Davies : Spies

There’s really nothing better than when an artist not only hits expectations, but exceeds them exponentially. Daniel Davies started out as a guitarist in some successful bands back in the early 2000s. Year Long Disaster, Karma To Burn, and CKY were all bands Davies played in and did quite well in. In 2015 he began […]

Pete Dio and the Old & Dirty : Y’all Trying To Kill Me

Musician and songwriter Pete Dio knows his way around a drum kit, as he proved being the drum basher for Left Lane Cruiser. He also knows his way around a guitar and a melody. His work over the years in the Fort Wayne music scene has always dabbled in a little of everything, but roots […]

SM : Presents Pistacchio Sessions

The latest release to drop from UK electronic label Soundtracking The Void is NYC’s Salvatore Mercatante’s Presents Pistacchio Sessions. On Presents Pistacchio Sessions Mercatante trades his swaths of heavy synth for a more techno-heavy sound. He mixes the existential space drifts of last year’s The Foundations Of Eternal Sin with more dance floor-ready explorations. Though […]

Steve Moore and Bluetech : Liminal Migration

On the new collaborative LP Liminal Migration, Steve Moore and Bluetech get full-on cosmic using analog and modular synths. It’s a heady ode to both forward-thinking dance music and 50s sci fi in all it’s glory. Bluetech(Behind The Sky label head Evan Bluetech) and Steve Moore first collaborated last year on Behind The Sky’s compilation […]

The Black Keys : Delta Kream

Dan Auerbach and Patrick Carney have been at it now for 20 years as The Black Keys. They have been on a steady course from Midwestern underground blues revivalists to indie rock darlings to mainstream, middle-aged rockers soundtracking soccer mom road trips. Regardless of where you’re at on the Keys’ timeline, Auerbach and Carney put […]

The Legendary Trainhoppers : Hard Times

The Legendary Trainhoppers struck hard with their debut Ramble On back in 2006. Their mix of folk, Americana, bluegrass, and Midwestern rock jangle is a tip of the hat to artists like Dylan, Petty, Wilco, Neil Young, and The Jayhawks. But this River City crew made jangle of their own, locking into new stories and […]

Andy Fosberry : Anthology of the Dark

Musician and composer Andy Fosberry is a master of mood. He works in film scores, real and imagined, as well as creating masterful music in pop, rock, ambient, and electronic realms. His attention to detail, gift for melody, and arranging prowess make him the go-to artist when you want a score to elevate your film. […]

St. Vincent : Daddy’s Home

Annie Clark is never one to settle in and be comfortable. From her debut Marry Me way back in 2007 to 2017s Massedution, Clark kept pushing her songwriting and sound to new plateaus. Changing up her sound and personas like David Bowie, but bringing a touch of grand melodrama to the albums like Kate Bush, […]

Earthless : Live In The Mojave Desert

Earthless is a band that puts “power” in power trio. Isaiah Mitchell(guitar, vocals), Mike Eginton(bass), and Mario Rubalcaba(drums) are a San Diego three-piece that have been putting out next-level psych rock since the early 2000s. Their albums are long-form improvisations that pay tribute to bands like the Jimi Hendrix Experience, Blue Cheer, Cream, Black Sabbath, […]
