Review by Barnaby William Thornton Alt. rockers Argonaut tried to better their brilliant debut. And they succeeded! TV’s intro channels the theme tune to ‘News at Ten’ via The Twilight Zone – an ethereal and ominous appointment for you to tune in and f***ing listen – before the synths quickly switch to a spiky guitar-laden…

PRESS RELEASE June 26th, 2015 – Burbank, CA – Twin Shadow, aka George Lewis Jr., has announced new tour dates for the Night Rally Tour. This past April, the band was forced to go on hiatus after being involved in a bus accident. The tour will kick off on August 21st in Portland, OR, and…

“Wildfire” is the second single from Laura Burhenn, aka The Mynabirds, upcoming third album Lovers Know and it’s an infectious little ditty if ever there was one. Often, The Mynabirds music features politically-themed, or otherwise serious, subject matter. But this passionate, uptempo love song shows Burhenn’s lighter side, which I found refreshing.

It seems like just yesterday my parents and I were at The Beach Boys’ 50th Anniversary Concert and I was listening to the group’s excellent comeback album, That’s Why God Made The Radio. But that was 2012 — time seems to fly even faster than they say it does. But now Brian Wilson is back…

Is it just downtempo pop or is it R&B or, perhaps, trip-hop? I say it’s all of the above, though less on the pop side and more somewhere between R&B and trip-hop. I’ll admit that it’s slow moving, but once you’ve heard it a few times you start losing track of time when you listen…

I first encountered The Ballroom Thieves’ music when I was preparing to cover the Boston Calling music festival last month, checking out the bands I wasn’t already familiar with on Spotify. I was so impressed with their debut album, A Wolf In The Doorway, that I promptly bought their album from iTunes, as I still believe…

If the name Tori Kelly sounds familiar it’s probably because she was briefly on American Idol when she was sixteen, but before that she became an internet sensation when she started posting videos of herself performing songs on Youtube when she was just 14.

Now, this is what I call an epic song. And what an amazing one it is, taking the listener on a thought-provoking sonic — and visual — journey. Quite the trip!

The talented, independent singer/songwriter Rorie Kelly has been using the crowd funding site Rocket Hub to raise money to fund her second album. Her goal is $7,500 and she’s already up to $7,313. If you can help her out, she would greatly appreciate it and so would we.

First of all, I’m actually a fan of Rebel Heart. I think it’s Madonna’s best album since American Life (criminally under-rated). But “Bitch I’m Madonna” is terrible. The song and video. The lyrics of “Material Girl” have more substance than the lyrics of this one. But, hey, pop music doesn’t require strong lyrics to be…

Julian Moon is a singer/songwriter hailing from Salt Lake City Utah. She describes her music as “acoustic pop” on her Facebook page and I think that’s an accurate description. Listening to her songs, it’s easy to picture her sitting alone in a room somewhere, writing them on a trusty acoustic guitar. I randomly happened across…

I love electropop. If you’ve been reading my reviews for even a month, you’ve surely figured that out by now. But I also like simple, acoustic music as well. And I have a real appreciation for electropop artists who can break their songs down and perform them acoustically.

Welcome back, Class Actress! What an amazing tune! Pure electropop bliss. Lovely mix of warm electronic beats and glimmering synth. And the vocals… Sweet and sultry, ripened to perfection… The girlfriend experience has never sounded better!
