If ever I've heard a record that crossed over elements of funk, psych-rock, classic rock, Americana, and soul, it would absolutely be the new record from Idiot Grins. It's called Golf Cart Life, and wastes very little time diving into the vintage-sounding soul-riddled, groove-oriented approach with the first track, "Hell No". The track features guitars using classic old-school wah-wah effect pedals, loads of organs just bringing this lushness to everything, and percussion tha

T Staggs just dropped an album that really thrives in terms of delivering massively soulful performances, pop, neo-soul, R&B, and more, just packed into this personality-riddled album. The vocal performance across this Southern Soul Era, Vol 2 record pulls you into the atmosphere it delivers. It is a robust atmosphere, and it beckons everything from classic soul to current R&B, which is why digging into this whole album at once is the only way to go. There are loads of amazin

An album release from Lonesome Cat recently dropped, and the record delves deep into a lot of personal attributes that let you feel like you're a part of the songs themselves, as they tell deep-knitted stories from that one-on-one perspective as songs unfold. I think this is a big part of why the record works so well. You automatically connect with it because the artist can articulate things lyrically in such a way that you can understand them, relate to them, and at times pa

A massive new single from Jessica Lovelock delivers a heavy-handed alternative rock backbone with thriving guitars creating a sonic wall of sound that feels like it's just crashing down over you, along with intense but Soulful vocal performances and enlightening progressions and melodies that grab me by surprise the first time around and really hit in such a beautiful way. One of my favorite aspects of "Unaware" is how it actually has so much heaviness to it, but is also incr

A new single by Matt DeAngelis has recently been released, and the song speaks volumes for the artist in his views of life and how we spend it. The single focus is a lot on aspects of our lives that we hold dear to us, but our materialistic at best. The song revolves around the fact that those material possessions are going to get left behind, so perhaps we should focus a little bit more on the people that are around us. The love that we have, the relationships that we share

If you are not yet familiar with The Exploding Whales, then let us be among the first to introduce you, as the band has recently released an album that breaches the boundaries of alternative rock, indie, and plenty of psychedelic and experimental attributes, along with a colorful but edgy approach that hits with an almost animated feel at times. This is a record that definitely knows how to jam. They bring on loads of pop sensibility and plenty of catchy rhythms, including th

Sun Raven returns with a new record that blends both of his most pertinent styles, bringing together elements of alternative and progressive rock, with hints of edgy overtone, gritty guitar work, and that heavy rock backbone, along with the smooth, cinematic, and vast tonalities that he brings to the table as well. As a fan of the artist, this is one of my favorite pieces he's released to date. This is because of that blend of the two big Styles he tends to a lot of the time.

A wildly eclectic new record from Tracy Bryant just dropped, and this album certainly runs the gamut of pop influence in different approaches. You have everything from jazz to rock, and so much more, all rolled into one record, which is pretty impressive to say the least. You also get a good chunk of contemporary pop in there. This is something I really loved about it because as the album unfolds, you get pieces of the artist. He's not really afraid to hold back in certain so

If you're not too familiar with the sounds of Skip Danko B-Movie Road Club, then let this be a bit of an introduction, as the band just released a new record that brings together some of the best elements of alternative, heavy rock drive, with spacious feels and undertones, along with cinematic backbone, and the whole thing thrives with a raw sort of energy that leans towards even a desert rock kind of aesthetic. The record is called Trippin' On A Chinese Market, and wastes v
