For those that missed out on the crowd funding versions and the mess that turned into (not band’s fault), you’ll be pleasantly surprised by this re-pressing of Stavesacre’s really great 2006 album “How To Live With a Curse” as well as 2017’s comeback record, “1995” (MCMXCV). These two incredible releases are getting a special edition vinyl pressing on behalf of Unoriginal Vinyl and Tooth & Nail Records. Seriously, buy these two records up (also available in a bundle) and encourage the label to put “Friction” and “Absolutes” on vinyl next.… Continued →

I’d like to shine a light on independent rock artist, Jodi Essex. She just released a LIVE video for her song “Weightless” off the album “Irreverent” that is available now. Check out “Weightless” below as well as some more info on the artist. If you enjoy these sounds then make sure you purchase her CD right here. I can best describe her sound as a cross between Crystal Lewis, Amy Lee, Fireflight and Bon Jovi with a strong emphasis on spiritual story telling and worship centered lyrics.… Continued →

I’d like to take a moment and introduce our readers to this cool new industrial/electronic/rock project known as Mahalath. The project features dark sounds and industrial like moodiness running through with fists in the air like urgency. Making one think isn’t always at the forefront of some artists in the music scene but Joel Holycross (Mayfly) and this new project is certainly a different take on substance in music. Read more below and listen to the first song “The Proxy”.… Continued →

Click here to check out on Bandcamp. Please read below for further info.… Continued →

A little over a year ago, I wrote a review for “Heart Attack” by new(er) nu metal band, Relent. Recently, the band has re-released the ep on Rockfest Records and so, I thought I’d re-review the re-release. Without looking back to the review done last March, let’s revisit “Heart Attack”, including the newly added tracks. I will say that since the initial review done last March, my love and excitement for the ep hasn’t waned a bit; it has longevity. For an album, much less an ep, to maintain its excitement and “go-to” factor after a year says something.… Continued →

Matty Mullins of Memphis May Fire released a new song last night called “No Hold On Me”. If you haven’t already heard Matty’s solo material, it’s quite different from MMF and is much more pop/electronic. This one in particular has a pop/worship feel and what sounds like a choir behind him throughout the track. Good song, great message. Check it out below.… Continued →

Twenty One Pilots debuted their new song, “Level of Concern” earlier today and a video to go with it. The song isn’t really all that different from what you might already expect from them, but is nonetheless a pretty enjoyable listen. Both the song and video very clearly echo the current state of affairs we’re all facing with being locked down, quarantined, or whatever word/phrase you prefer to use. Check out the video below and hit us back with your thoughts!  … Continued →
