It must be something in the air (Or maybe something in that “Dirty Water”?) because it seems to us like there’s a wealth of acton starting up again from a lot of the artists featured in this year’s Rock & Roll Rumble. To name a few, Paper Tigers just dropped a new single ahead of an upcoming full-length, Kooked Out just unveiled a cassette version of their most recent record, and soon Gretchen Shae and the Middle Eight will be dropping a brand new track. Which brings us to another entrant in the 2023 Rumble, Bird Language, who return with their latest single and another fitting end-of-summer jam for our collective earholes.

SOM Start 2022 With Haunting Post-Rawk Odyssey On The Shape of Everything

Kicking off the new year with the continuation of an artist who, with only two new songs, still managed to leave a massive sonic impact in the previous year is always an inspiring thing. We’re talking about SOM who followed up the release of the monumental Awake EP in 2021 (Check out our review here) with the tease of The Shape Of Everything later in the year and first single “Animals” which barely scrapes the surface of what this monumental and majestic new record holds within.

Constants Return With Remixes, Remasters, Covers, And A New Tune On Devotion

28 April 2020 By jesse Leave a Comment

B-sides and remix collections can be a mixed bag.

Junius Complete A Trilogy, Forge A New Path Forward On Eternal Rituals for the Accretion of Light

1 March 2017 By jesse Leave a Comment

The first time the latest from Junius hit my earholes I was in the air over Baltimore en route to Florida for a fun filled week of Mickey Mouse and NASCAR.
