REVIEW : Drew Holcomb And The Neighbors - Medicine

Continuing their union of melancholy and redemption, the album is consistent from start to finish. Blending the traditional singer-songwriter template with contemporary sensibilities, it may be a modern classic. So if you’re sick of today's mainstream music, Medicine is the perfect remedy.

Orion Walsh - Struggle to Recover (Three for Flinching 'Cover')

I knew Eddie and spoke with him several times years ago when I was putting I’m Your Biggest Fan Vol. 2 together (which Three for Flinching was on) and booking shows around So. Cal. He was also a member of Dogwood during their “Seismic” days.… Continued →
