In this day and age, the mark of a really great artist is to genuinely stand out from the rest of the noise that’s being pumped out at yer earholes on the daily. Boston’s Only Child is one such artist with a unique sound and an even more unique voice that’s ready to release the soundtrack of your summer when the Indie/Camp/Pop/Synth tracks collected within Srs One arrives on May 26th.
[Read more…]Eddie Japan Masterfully Weave An Epic Aural Story On Ambitious Pop Fiction
We have a lot of those “What were we thinking???” moments over in RNRF land regarding missed opportunities with new releases. Whether it’s the dreaded “too many tabs open” problem causing a release to get lost in a sea of promos or just a matter of running out of time before street date, we’ll admit that we regularly eff up and move on. In some cases, like today with Eddie Japan, we find ourselves utterly enthralled after the fact and will occasionally go back on our rule of not posting a review after a record releases.

[Read more…]RNRF X Salem Horror Fest: “Official Selection”, Summoners
I hate watching movies on my computer. Obviously it’s a personal choice but I’d much rather see a movie on a bigger screen whether it’s a TV or a theater (And yes, I know I could do any number of things to project from my laptop to one of those devices). That said, I’ve bit the bullet regarding the 2023 Salem Horror Fest batch of films RNRF decided to review and found that especially regarding Horror flicks, there’s no place to hide when the screen is inches from your face. Which is kinda fun? Sure, I could switch to another tab or skip ahead but what’s the point of that when you choose to go Horror? That said, while our SHF picks this year have been stellar they’ve yet to be scary. Until Summoners.

And maybe they’re not even a part of The Rumble this year but seek you out because you covered a LOT of it… and holy hell is this a long, convoluted intro to tell you that The Downhauls is a band you need to have in your life.
[Read more…]Singles! The Chelsea Curve, “How Can I (Resist You)?”
More like how can we resist this song???
