“Turn it up / Turn it over and start it again,” goes Goo Goo Dolls’ just released new masterpiece “Over and Over,” arguably their best song in over a decade, which hails from their forthcoming album Boxes, due out May 6th.

California songs rule, baby.

This one has me floored. Maybe it’s partially because I woke up today with a flu or something and can’t stop coughing, so I’m really dizzy and anything I’ve tried listening to has made me feel like I’m going to fall on the floor. But I am quite sure I’d be blown away by this…

Project Skyward is the musical name Los Angeles resident Ryan Field goes by. He’s a holistic science/astronomy graduate, which say a lot about his songwriting perspective, which is both unique and a blend of several genres, including ambient, electronic, shoegaze, and new age and I dare say nobody combines these different musical styles as well…

I recently reviewed Emmy the Great’s Boston show, and did an insightful interview with her, so you probably should realize that I’d recommend her new album, Second Love, but I’m writing this anyway, just in case it wasn’t so obvious, and in case you forgot that the album was coming out today. Besides, I’m getting…

“Letting you die, letting you die, letting you die,” sings newcomer Mavrick during the chorus of his second single, the massive “Funeral,” one of the best songs I’ve heard in a long time. His production is grandiose in the best way possible. From the loud drums to the layered vocals, everything about the track is…

To be honest, I’m surprised that I’m really digging Wise Proof’s “More More More More,” since it’s obviously very much in the trap vein and I’ve had just about all the trap I can stomach. (To me, trap was a cool new sound for about five minutes then it all started sounding the same.) Perhaps…

Last month fell in love with Long Island indie artist Rorie Kelly’s awesome new album Rising Rising Rising, which is why I recently brought you an exclusive interview with her. Following that, Rorie invited me to a concert she was doing, which was to be held in someone’s house. You see, Rorie crowd funded Rising…

Detroit rapper ZelooperZ — who was born in the 313 and still resides there — is part of Danny Brown’s Bruiser Brigade. Interestingly, they connected via Twitter when the 6’7″ ZelooperZ was promoting a mixtape like crazy and Brown took notice. But before Brown took him into the studio he gave him a proper initiation by…

Later this year Boston born Adam Jensen will release an EP and I’m very excited about it after hearing his just released, red hot single, “Sandcastles.” It’s a pristine blend of thought-provoking alt pop and serious electro that packs gentle acoustic guitars with sonorous beats that stomp all over you, resulting in one uber-catchy tune.

It’s album number three for London-based garage-pop band Yuck and, thankfully, the third time is a charm here. They financed this one via PledgeMusic and I guess it worked out for them because the album was finished and is now available for your purchase, which I strongly suggest that you do because it’s quite charming,…
