Jonah Leatherman Returns With The Jangly “Mourning Glory”

I feel there’s a certain kind of freewheeling spirit that dissipated from the ether of rock and roll in the 90s and 2000s. Like it was almost embarrassing to write a song that even hinted at blues-based rock and roll. Bar chords, Hammond B-3s, and Leslie Speakers? Forget it. Unless it was supposed to be […]

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 […]

Sankofa : The Most Delicious Gold

Stephen Bryden, aka Sankofa, loves shoes. He also loves a Bravas dog, educating those that need it, poking the bear, and a good beat he can rap over. Did I say he loves shoes? Sankofa has been a Fort Wayne artist/staple for long enough now that he should be given the keys to the Fort. […]

Rupert Lally : Maniac’s Almanac

Rupert Lally gifted us an amazing ode to the haunted places of Stephen King’s literary worlds back in October with Where The Dark Speaks. Each track was a sonic imprint of places like The Marsten House, The Overlook Hotel, and of course Derry. Lally wove sonic worlds that brought you into King’s Gothic realm, one […]

Perspective

A guy died at work yesterday. I didn’t know him. He was a contract worker who had only been at our facility for a couple of weeks. He was on the shop floor running one of the CMM machines. I barely know a handful of machinists, and ones I’ve worked with(generally speaking) for the last […]

John Carpenter : Lost Themes III : Alive After Death

The Master of Horror John Carpenter returns with his first collection of new music since his score to David Gordon Green’s Halloween. Lost Themes III : Alive After Death continues Carpenter’s fruitful collaboration with son Cody and Godson Daniel Davies, which began in 2015 with Lost Themes. On Lost Themes III the mood is often more […]

New Year’s Eve 2020 : Recap, Madcap, Mocap

Hey guys. Long time no speak. A whole week, in fact. I hope you all had a nice holiday with whomever you might have celebrated it with, and for whatever reason it may have been. Me? I like colored lights and the Vince Guaraldi Trio. I do like finding peanut M&Ms in my stocking as […]

Günter Schlienz : Orphée aux Enfers

Orphée aux Enfers, the new album from German musician and composer Günter Schlienz is an exploratory and experimental music journey. It’s both playful and steely in its composition and arrangements as Schlienz blends both classic electronic experimental vibes from 70s German music innovators, as well as more modern touches. Using an array of DIY modular synths, […]

Fuzz : III

Whether you’re ready or not, Ty Segall, Charlie Moothart, and Chad Ubovich are back with Fuzz’ third album, III. Starting out with their self-titled debut in 2013, the trio of Cali psych rock vets put out an album with Sabbath-like riffs and Blue Cheer garage rock abandon, setting the bar extremely high for riff-heavy rock […]

Halloween Is Over

Well another Halloween has came and went. Kids are waking up all over the country and counting their candied loot(if they didn’t already last night) and deciding if they want to use those Smarties and Milk Duds as bargaining chips for their younger sibling’s or daft neighborhood kid’s Fun Size Snickers or peanut M&Ms. This […]
