Hail The Ghost is known for releasing and creating songs that have messages behind them, whether they are stories or personal attributes that get delivered boldly and with very few boundaries or walls built around. The music is normally very vast and always has that cinematic feel to it, which is always one of my favorite aspects about the soundscape that's usually brought to light through their songs. Lyrically, there is almost always very little being held back. At times yo

A new release from The Victim manages to pull together a lot of classic influence while bringing in a warm and welcoming pop rock approach. I feel like the classic rock influence comes from artists like Springsteen because the tracks have this sort of particular tonality to them in terms of the guitars, and the way the vocals are performed as well. "This Town" is the main single of focus and does give such a story, told with some amazing detail, so that you can sort of paint

Fake Mannequin just dropped a new single, and this thing really reaches into the depths of alternative pop, with super spacious, ambient underbellies and just the right amount of edginess and Intrigue to sound super alluring. It gives me a little bout of nostalgia because it feels like something that was released in the late 90s, and I dig that a lot. The song boasts a very cinematic aesthetic. It's got an amazing format and arrangement so that it really grows and sort of swa

A new album released from Lynn Patrick delivers an incredibly lush atmosphere built with guitar work that just feels warm, welcoming, and delivers a tonality that invites you to sort of drift alongside the balances of light and emotion that come through constantly as the record unfolds. This is an album that features such amazing attention to detail, but still thrives in terms of having loads of heart. You can clearly hear loads of influences from different genres coming in f

A new single release from Taylor Campbell Band delivers a warm sense of inspiration and a unique, classic description of life itself as a working man trying to build a better future for the kids of his own, and it's a sentiment that so many of us can relate to that it's impossible to turn away from this track. Part of the reason this works so well is because of his lyrical approach. It's so descriptive and storytelling that it pulls you right in. Yes, there is the sentiment a

John Jenkins returns with a single that absolutely has plenty of depth to it and makes quite an amazing statement in terms of where we are in the world and in this country today. It's a song that doesn't hold a lot back and speaks truths, by way of telling stories, and this is where the warmth comes in. This is a single that does a lot of explaining and talks about generations coming to the United States with dreams in hand. It speaks of parents, grandparents, and how, at cer

The new single release from Golden Vultures comes through with an amazing rootsy sort of swampy blues rock approach, and a lot of that comes from the tone and riff of those guitars. This track boasts so much addictive energy that it's totally infectious, right from the start. After it's count in, you have some amazing guitar riffs coming into play with two sets of guitars that sort of bounce off each other. This is sort of an introduction to the song, and it's a great one at

A very flavorful new record from praytell. just dropped and this release is packed with a unique and very experimental form of hip hop that really holds together in such a unique fashion. This is an album that reflects the artist and his personality but also boasts such a colorful and outside the box sort of approach when it comes to production and even vocals at times. The album is called  I love myself and I wanna die , and it certainly doesn't waste much time getting to so

I spent the weekend with One Voice , and it revealed itself gradually, the way records used to before everything was optimized for quick hits and instant hooks. Don’t Blink operates in a space that feels deliberately out of step with contemporary pop. The sound is lo fi without leaning into irony, organic without polishing away its rough edges. What immediately stood out to me was how singular the aesthetic is. This does not resemble much of what is circulating right now, and
