‘”13″ is the latest single from Irish singer/songwriter Ciaran Lavery and it’s like Ryan Adams, Conor Oberst and none other than Bob Dylan sat in a room together and churned out a song. “Love is like a suicide,” Lavery sings, his lyrics raw and his voice a bit raspy.

interview by Michael McCarthy I first heard Doe Paoro’s intoxicating music when she opened for a Sylvan Esso show back in 2014. Like her songs, the way she moved around the stage, dancing, was hypnotic. I felt like a snake moving to the sounds of a charmer. A night or two later, she was just…

interview by Michael McCarthy Freedom Fry is a Magnificent – yes, with a capital M – duo consisting of Parisian-born Marie Seyrat and Michigan-born Bruce Driscoll. Chances are that you’ve already heard of them. And that you’ve even heard their music. (Apparently, I am the last person on earth to have discovered them.) I say…

I’ve been a fan of Butcher Babies since they debuted, but I’ll admit that their music has often taken a backseat to their image. That isn’t the case with this video for “Look What We’ve Done,” which is like a combination of a music video and a behind-the-scenes documentary. That said, you really should listen…

interview by Michael McCarthy The reason this interview is titled Much More Than The Voice is that today’s subject is Whitney Fenimore, who you may recall from season 13 of a little show called The Voice. She did a touching rendition of Drake’s “Hold On, We’re Going Home,” which she rearranged herself, at the blind…

Baloji’s “Peau de Chagrin/ Bleu de Nuit” is one of the most stimulating videos I’ve ever seen. Lots of beautiful colors and spell-binding imagery that could only come from Africa. There are also quite a few disturbing images in this video that you won’t be able to get out of your head for a while. It…

I imagine this would work splendidly as score in a movie. Perhaps in a suspense thriller that takes place during the winter. I imagine the protagonist fleeing from her captors, and she comes to the edge of a frozen lake, and her only chance of survival is to run across it and hope that the large…

Sweet, subtle and sultry are the words that immediately spring to mind when I listen to Louis Torre’s new song “Love is Blind,” which was just released on the date of this posting, 3/14/18. To my ears, the track is nothing shy of a roasted to perfection blend of pop and R&B with notes of…

W.A.S.P., the brainchild of the always controversial vocalist/songwriter/guitarist Blackie Lawless, released the album Reidolized: The Soundtrack to the Crimson Idol on February 2, 2018. The album came with The Crimson Idol movie on DVD and Blu-ray along with six tracks that were intended for the original album The Crimson Idol but didn’t make it for…

First, Stryper utilized a little death metal style vocals on “Take It It The Cross,” now they’re doing thrash riffs during the verses on their new single, “Sorry.” These are good things, though! I know some fans just want a To Hell with The Devil sequel, but I admire the guys for trying new things…

Elohim’s latest single, “Skinny Legs,” might strike you as an abstract, maybe even inaccessible, song the first few times you listen to it. I even wondered if it was too bizarre for me when it first wormed its way inside my ears. That said, I put it on one of my new singles playlists and…
