Jerbare – Opaque
5/10 Straight out the gate, I must stand and slow clap for Jerbare. Releasing a double album in 2020 is ballsy as hell (actually a two-parter with separate release dates but I’m counting it!) A […]

Harlott – Detritus of the Final Age
8.3/10 I spent some time this summer reading Rick Springfield’s Autobiography “Late, Late At Night” and have been stricken with a strange pull from a lot of Australian artists since then. What I’ve learned from […]

Did You Get Big Shiny Tunes 47 for Christmas?
Ok, I’m being facetious; the Big Shiny Tunes compilations haven’t been around since 2009. But if you were growing up loving music in the late 90’s and early 2000’s chances were you’d be getting this […]

4.5/10 I tend to struggle somewhat with the death metal genre often for its tendency to be repetitive/uninventive and Six Feet Under’s latest album Nightmares of the Decomposed (released October 2nd 2020 on Metal Blade […]

Ben Cardilli – The Great Indoors
8.3/10 Right on bud, finally, someone has delivered the comedy/music album about the pandemic we didn’t know we needed. Local boy/comedian/musician Ben Cardilli fucking brings it on this eleven-track debut entitled The Great Indoors (released […]

Montener the Menace – I Have a Hidden Hobby
8.8/10 Quite an anomaly this Montener the Menace; little to no social media presence and an album released in 2020 that was recorded twelve years ago! You heard right. Then again, there’s a lot about […]
