Over the past few years I’ve come across references and short quotes from George Orwell’s 1984, but outside of it being a dystopian novel set in the year 1984, I didn’t know much about it or the author. I’d grabbed this one as part of the same sweet 3 for $10 deal that I picked up The Sun Also Rises with and I had some … Continue reading The Bookshelf: “1984” by George Orwell
It’s melodic, it’s atmospheric, it’s spiritual, it’s driven and it rocks. Self-described as a faith-driven alternative 3-piece outfit, The latest EP by New Jersey’s The Finite Beings “A Shell of What Could Be” is a holistic journey that reflects on our connections to ourselves and each other. The lead track and first single, “Untamed” sits somewhere between A Perfect Circle and Deftones, full of rich … Continue reading We are but turtles in The Finite Being’s A Shell of What Could Be
For your electronic music fix today we offer you the very relaxed, mellow and Earthy ambient instrumental album “Keeper of the Forest” by American producer Tim Woodruff. It perfectly encapsulates the calming serenity of casually walking a new trail on an early summer morning, long before anyone else has a chance to get their shoes imprinted within the dirt, fit with a healthy dose of … Continue reading Your Electronic Music Fix: Tim Woodruff – Keeper of the Forest
Stumbled onto Keansburg, New Jersey’s Can’t Swim recently through Spotify. They’re a rock band, but given their high melodic sensibility and bouncy dynamics, we think they’re best fit as today’s pop-punk feature. If you like outfits like Like Pacific or Capstan, you’ll feel right at home with Can’t Swim. And apparently, they actually can swim, so no, I don’t know what that’s all about, either. … Continue reading Your Pop-Punk Fix: Can’t Swim – Thanks but No Thanks
If we are to take its title in a literal sense, before “Puzzle” even begins we envision ourselves sat at a table with a scattered collection of puzzle pieces. Some are right side up, others colors entirely escape us, replaced by the cheap cardboard our mural was printed on. As the gauzy guitar joins us, sounding as though it’s coming directly to us from the … Continue reading Life dictates the cutouts in Kenny Fame’s Puzzle.
Released today is a brand new music video by Toronto based indie artist Alex Southey. “Never Listen” comes off Alex’s 2022 EP Common Fantasies that we told you about back in January and we’ve BEEN listening, Alex and we’ll KEEP listening, thank you very much. Honestly ever since I heard this track I’ve been having a little trouble placing it. It’s holds a really relaxed … Continue reading Alex Southey says we Never Listen… Well who’s eating their words now, Alex?
American Goner recently put out their first full-length record. AG says he wrote most of the album in just about a weeks span a month after a difficult breakup. Speaking about the album on Twitter on release day, he said, “After staying for 2 years longer than i should have, putting my career on hold, ditching people i loved and cares about and dealing with … Continue reading New Music Release: For My Ghost – American Goner
We’re not one to admit it but sometimes when we listen to a track for the first time, we throw it on without headphones. We did that with this one, but only got a few seconds in before we’re reminded why putting on a pair is such a critical step. We weren’t running it through a club PA so we were already missing the low … Continue reading How Do You Do It Without Making It Nauseatingly Extravagant?

If you follow my social media channels, you know that I was sharing some new songs through the month of June – you can still check those videos out on my YouTube/Instagram & TikTok. I’m someone that is rarely ever not-writing something, but when new song lyrics started to come out in droves not long after the release of… Continue reading From A Bedroom Above A Garage
We love, love, love when we get submissions through the music submission mailbox, but sometimes we’re a little slow at getting ourselves over to it to pick up what’s waiting for us and we’re sorry about that, but certainly not as sorry as today when we noted an unusual odour coming from the back of the locker when we opened it up today. Cat food. … Continue reading We found some cat food in the mailbox.
