Hailing from the UK, Spector delivers a solid as a diamond slice of post new wave rock with “All The Sad Young Men,” which reminds me of listening to bands like Depeche Mode and Roxy Music when I was young and didn’t know better. Relax, I’m kidding. I still like Depeche Mode and Roxy Music.…

If I had heard Milo Greene’s 2012 debut, which is said to have been folk pop, then I probably wouldn’t like this album. At least that’s the impression I’ve arrived at after reading several reviews.

Some fans would tell you that the band was born when Gildenlöw started his first band in 1984, but the band was called Reality at the time and Gildenlöw was…

Kaipa, a Swedish prog/folk/rock group, was originally called Ura Kaipa way back in 1973, but Wiki gives one the impression that they broke up circa 1982 and only reunited in 2000. Sattyg is their thirteenth studio album, the name being Swedish for diablerie, which Google gives two definitions for. One is “reckless mischief; charismatic wildness” and the…

We really don’t know what to make of this… Has he been hanging out with Blake Shelton?
