U.K./Singapore/France/Iran- Indie/Alternative Rock Release Date: November 9, 2018 Just what the doctor ordered – a hooky, piece of rockness, with unabashed, spewing vocals that can still hold a note.

Ones that can bend and break boundaries of genres at the snap of their fingers? It’s probably not very often that you come across musicians quite like that. While there are several musicians and bands out there holding claim to the “experimental” genre, I find few appealing to my ears due to them being SO FAR OUTSIDE THE BOX… my ears, my mind just can’t tolerate their music usually. But, Violet Cold? He’s a whole other animal. INTRO/HISTORY/BACKGROUND FACTS: Formed … Continue reading Violet Cold

Do you watch the Olympics like I do? Maybe you do, Maybe you don’t. As for me??? I LIVE FOR IT. And if I were to be completely honest, the whole sports thing isn’t even my favorite part.

And while I am in love with countries, continents, cultures, languages and the like, EVEN I FORGET ABOUT CERTAIN COUNTRIES. So I will give a few of … Continue reading Forgotten Worlds

She was born in Canada but moved to Hong Kong when she was four and went to a Chinese-speaking school despite her brother and cousins being placed in international schools, which forced … Continue reading RIP: Ellen Joyce Loo
