We love a good cover when we find one. We present to you our first edition of our Cover Lover segment… enjoy!   Ex Makina – Wonderwall (Oasis Cover) U.K. | Pop Ok… I already love Wonderwall since it’s a classic so it’s hard to think of the song any way other than it’s 90’s-ness.

HOLY CUSSWORD.   ANKOR – Havana (Camila Cabello Cover) Spain | Alternative Metal Who knew that adding gritty screams and metal instrumentation could add such an interesting flavor to pop … Continue reading COVER LOVER – Vol. 1

Mad Props – 06.10.18

ALBUMS CHICKN WOWSERS! Released May 11, 2018 Greece  |  Psychedelia/Experimental If You Like: King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard, Captain Beefheart, Frank Zappa, The Who, Small Faces, King Crimson Channeling the absurdity of Frank Zappa and combining it with the listenability of today’s Indie Psychedelic movement is Chickn. Their sophomore album is pretty dang solid in it’s 9 song’s worth of content. Upon first listen, I found it quite astounding that more people were not talking about this album or this band… the fact that they were for the most part, going unnoticed despite this glimmering example of old school … Continue reading Mad Props – 06.10.18

Genres: More To Rap About

abigailpixler5452

While pop and rock have evolved over the years, other genres have been evolving and expanding in very distinct ways as well – ESPECIALLY RAP. It was not until recently that I realized how out of touch I had been with the genre. Truthfully, I don’t listen to a ton of it to begin with, but with Sferikul, I listen to practically everything now and it has been eye-opening to say the least. First things first, though… WHAT  THE HECK IS A MICROGENRE and how is it different than a subgenre? According to the Oxford Dictionary, a subgenre is “a … Continue reading Genres: More To Rap About

Meh or Yeh Album Reviews

abigailpixler5452

  Winter Grit – EP Ane Bjerkan Norway | Folk/Ambient This EP is not due out until February 9, but I had the awesome opportunity to preview it before it drops. With a similar vocal quality to that of Bjork’s at times, Ane Bjerkan is unmistakably her own conceptual artist with a niche for haunting, solemn tunes. Though the other two tracks on this 3 track EP are decent compositions, I am still stuck listening to track one on repeat. Slowly Collapsing Star evokes so much emotion that it is quite difficult to put into words. I had read a … Continue reading Meh or Yeh Album Reviews

OPINION – Where Is The Love?

abigailpixler5452

  This is the first installment of our OPINION Column, a column of just that – OPINION. Nothing here is stated as fact, but rather based off of observations and deep, personal ponderings. Here goes nothin’! WHERE IS THE LOVE? Love is, hands down, one of the most written about subjects in songs past and present because, well, there’s nothing quite like it! Nothing like the first time you held hands, first time you went on a date, danced together, spent the night together, etc, etc. But – WHAT IS LOVE? And why does it concentrate the music industry so … Continue reading OPINION – Where Is The Love?
