Singles! AshenMoon, “Ashen Moon”

By Leave a Comment

Of the few highlights that did come in 2020, the emergence of some truly stellar music both from staples and emerging artists proved to be a godsend during those trying times. A little bit of a staple because of the mileage of its’ members throughout the industry but still a relatively newer artist, AshenMoon arrived during the pandemic with a new school funkified Rawk that balanced a perfect amount of Soul and Blues while still packing a punch and are continuing to surge with their latest single, the self-titled “Ashen Moon”.

Singles! Shedonist, “Daddy”

By Leave a Comment

Blues-fueled Alternative Rawk is the name of the game when it comes to Shedonist’s latest single, “Daddy”, so if you grew up in the ’80’s and ’90’s like I did then you’re in for a treat. And if you didn’t, you’re still in for a treat because the new song rawks.

BC Feature: Phantom High

By Leave a Comment

Don’t call it a throwback, they’ve been here for years….okay, enough with the silliness. But to be fair, Toronto’s Phantom High IS something of a throwback with a sound that’s this modernized take on a notorious genre that’s seen an uptick by some young artists in recent years. We’re, of course, talking about Nu-Metal and under Phantom High’s watchful eye the genre is not only updated but, dare we say, elevated??? It’s true! But don’t take our word for it, just listen to the tunes!

Singles! Temptress, “Out Of Control”

By Leave a Comment

What can we say about Temptress that we haven’t already said? Release after release, the Manchester, NH-based outfit continually reach for the stars and still tend to propel their sound far beyond that (Didja see Interstellar? Think that in terms of sonic scope). With their latest, “Out Of Control”, Temptress look to defy odds once again, adding to their musical palette and simultaneously crushing expectations.

Singles! War On Alexandria, “California”

By Leave a Comment

It seems like almost every other week we’re getting new music from War On Alexandria and that suits us just fine because in an age where newer bands introduce themselves to the masses with a slew of singles that are basically variations on the same theme, it’s refreshing to hear the Boston-based quartet offer up something new each and every time they drop another piece of sonic art.

Singles! A Cause In Distress, “Modern Commerce”

By 1 Comment

As a primer to prepare to sit down and listen to the latest single from A Cause In Distress I took it upon myself to listen to their previous one, “Lumbering”, over and over. And over and over again. And over some more (Okay, like five times in a row tops). You know, for research. And also because that debut single from the Southend trio is still so effing good (Read our review here). So, you can guess where the expectations are for “Modern Commerce”, yeah?
