One insanely talented duo that I can't get enough of is Larkin Poe. It seems like just yesterday that I interviewed Rebecca and Megan Lovell about their third album, Peach. Well, the roots rock/soul/blues sisters will be releasing their third album, Venom & Faith, on November 9, 2018.
Today we have three exceptionally good pop tunes of very different styles, all works of art in our opinion....

interview by Michael McCarthy I’m going to start off by admitting something here: I’d lost track of Collective Soul over the years. Like millions of people, I’d bought their first few albums during their heyday in the ’90s and I enjoyed them quite a bit. However, by the time their fourth album, Dosage,...

interview by Michael McCarthy If there is one thing Voivod fans have been able to expect throughout the band’s 35-year career, it’s that they never make the same album twice. You could say that’s true of all bands, but Voivod’s albums are very different from each other. Early on, such as on their...

interview by Michael McCarthy One of the many reasons why I love Enuff Z’Nuff is that they’ve always been prolific. To the point that they’ve been able to release four back catalog albums over the years, bringing their total number of studio albums to 15 when you count their smokin’ hot new album...

interview by Michael McCarthy A few years ago I went to see The Maine play the House of Blues in Boston, Massachusetts. There were three opening bands that night. I remember liking them all, but I was especially blown away by Real Friends, whose sound I couldn’t classify. Not that it mattered. Whatever...

interview by Michael McCarthy I was sitting around bored one night, frustrated that I wasn’t finding anything that I was in the mood to listen to when I decided to check out some random albums being presented to me by publicists. It’s certainly not uncommon that I listen to things they send me,...

UK COMPUTER: AN INTERVIEW WITH JAMES OF ARTH AND ARTH

interview by Michael McCarthy Arth and Arth make what I would call mood music. To me, mood music is music that can change the whole tone of your day or evening. In the case of Arth and Arth, their trippy and often ethereal music is rather intoxicating, coming on like a painkiller. Your...
