Singles! Private Jetlag “Fortune Teller”

14 April 2022 By jesse Leave a Comment

The Gap Band’s “You Dropped A Bomb On Me” has been a default alarm for quite some time for me so that legendary outfit is usually frolicking around ye olde subconscious. That said, it was rather refreshing to flip on the latest single from Private Jetlag to find that vibe is not only still going, but also going strong.

RoseR Bestow Some Funkified Alt-Soul With Latest Release

1 April 2022 By jesse Leave a Comment

While there is indeed a LOT of crap music out there, we tend to be pretty biased when it comes to local artists. Luckily, that bias tends to be backed up on the regular when it comes to our home state and especially when it comes to Lowell’s own RoseR whose latest self-titled release is a tranquil slice of Alt meets Folk meets Americana that you didn’t know you needed in your life right now.

Steak Return With New Comic, New Movie, And Impressive New Album Acute Mania

29 March 2022 By jesse Leave a Comment

I don’t remember when I first came across Steak but I do remember instantly loving what they had to offer so it’s kind of like the old adage about riding a bike when it comes to listening to the first new offering from the UK outfit after five years. Because on their latest, Acute Mania, Steak strike a chord throughout their 3rd full-length recording that is inherently timeless yet wholly relevant and fresh.

Meshuggah Return More Determined And More Diabolical With Immutable

25 March 2022 By jesse Leave a Comment

2022 is turning out to be just the kind of year we predicted it would be where, with things trending towards a new “normal”, artists are starting to flood the market with records that are either practically bursting at the seams with something to say or ones that have been held up by whatever kind of pandemic-related delays (Production, recording opportunities, personnel, etc…) and are also ready to make some sort of grand statement. Like “Welcome back” in Meshuggah’s case.

BAIT Captures Anxiety In A Bottle On Electric Electro-Industrial Hybrid Sea Change

25 March 2022 By jesse Leave a Comment

This is it! The one you’ve been waiting for. Forget all other artists because BAIT is here with your most favorite debut of 2022 (Aside from labelmates A Cause In Distress at least). The brainchild of ex-Baddies vocalist Michael Webster and accompanied by former bandmate Jim Webster along with Luke Branch and MRE (Who also produced the record), Sea Change is an anxiety-ridden journey told in 10 parts. If any record captures the feel of uncertainty that the last 2 years has wrought it’s this one with even the recording lending itself to the atmosphere and opting (Mostly out of necessity) for more remote and separate sessions to capture it all.

Absent In Body Create A New Primal Rage On Debut Plague God

18 March 2022 By jesse Leave a Comment

Supergroup is a weird fucking term. And completely objective. For me, an artist like Old Man Gloom is the definition of a supergroup put in the same realm as, say, Down, there’ll inevitably be people who are all “Who is even in this band?” (For the record, OMG features members of Cave In, Isis, and Converge i.e. most of the Mount Rushmore of Boston heavy). Again, objective. Which brings us to similarly underground supergroup Absent In Body who feature in their ranks members of Amenra, Neurosis, and Sepultura and have a debut release that, as an essential part of this “supergroup” formula, sounds unlike anything that makes up the sum of its’ parts.

Mission To Sleep Perfect Post-Rawk Dreaminess On Lush And Loud Post Youth

16 March 2022 By jesse Leave a Comment

Hear me out: The Receiving End Of Sirens and Alexisonfire are the flip side of the same coin. Really! If you integrate Dallas Green’s City And Colour project and Casey Crescenzo’s The Dear Hunter into the equation you’d have a fully realized Post-something kind of outfit that’d dominate the upper half of North America. Which brings us to Boston’s Mission To Sleep who, if we’re going by our logic, would sit nicely in the eye of this majestic musical storm playing their brand of emotive Post-Rawk dreaminess that’s lush, loud, and in need of your earholes.

Singles! BAIT, “TV Personality”

16 March 2022 By jesse Leave a Comment

It’s almost here! The new full-length from BAIT may be right around the corner (April 1st to be exact) but that doesn’t mean that the Southend outfit can’t roll out one more song to whet our appetites a little bit more, right?
