Bandcamp Breakdown: Linnea’s Garden

4 August 2023 By jesse Leave a Comment

What is not to love about Linnea’s Garden?!?! Like a phoenix, Linnea’s Garden was borne out of the pandemic with a lust for life, a love of all the musics, and the generosity to share that gift with all of us. From their Bandcamp page for debut full-length Fashion Show they’re described as “post punk to indie rock to disco to grunge” which is pretty gotDamn accurate but what it doesn’t state is just how good they are at tackling and combining all those genres as seemingly effortlessly as they do!

A Rock And Roll Fables Feature: Gretchen Shae & The Middle Eight

27 April 2023 By jesse Leave a Comment

In the great words of others and a sentiment shared by us: Check out the Rock And Roll Rumble if you want to find your new favorite band. Like we did! Or two or three. That said, we’ve decided that we’re going to do our best to promote some of our personal faves post-Rumble prelims so as not to look biased and that starts now with us begging forgiveness having been so, so late to the Gretchen Shae & The Middle Eight party. Because what a party it is! And what a party you should join!

Singles! Elizabeth Leslie, “Empire Falls”

4 December 2020 By jesse Leave a Comment

“Empire Falls” by Toronto’s Elizabeth Leslie is everything I love in my Synth-Pop/Darkwave: Apocalyptic, ominous, and most importantly, danceable.

Spiritease/Jules Cohen Mash Genres, Delve Into The Worldly Side Of Electro On 48-49

28 May 2019 By jesse Leave a Comment

The world of Spiritease/Jules Cohen is sort of indescribable and that’s the absolute beauty of it. Elements of Electro and World mesh seamlessly with Hip-Hop and Trip-Hop and forge a path towards fresh, yet to be labeled genres.

PIG Gets You Through The Holidaze With Black Mass

7 December 2018 By jesse Leave a Comment

“Previously in the world of Raymond Watts…”

Seriously, though, with each release that <PIG> has put out this year I feel the need to have a title card akin to Star Wars explaining what has happened up until now. But at the end of the day, we can all agree on one thing: There is no such thing as too much <PIG>!

But I digress. [Read more…]

3Teeth Hit The Industrial Sweet Spot On Self-Titled Debut

9 September 2016 By jesse Leave a Comment

a1336658938_16

Mix the militaristic tone of Rammstein’s finest work with the quirky insanity of Bile and you have the simple version of 3Teeth. But 3Teeth is anything but simple. Delve deeper and there are hints of Gary Numan’s later work (Scarred especially) and elements of the band that has graciously offered 3Teeth several opening opportunities recently (Rhymes with “Pool”).

Servant Sun Deliver Big Hooks On Self-titled EP

22 June 2015 By jesse Leave a Comment

a1103568701_16

With just three songs, Servant Sun’s self-titled EP packs a punch. Like Killswitch Engage’s younger brother but without the constant viciousness and these grand Alexisonfire moments, Servant Sun tow the line between light prog, alternative, and heavy rock perfectly. And those choruses! They’re undeniably huge and will draw you into their world instantaneously. For that, thank Andrew Macdonald who emotes and croons and screams with a voice that fills listeners with a sense of deja vu but uniquely stands on its own.  [Read more…]
