Bison by : Review

Twonees approach storytelling cinematically in “Bison.” Led by Canmore-based songwriter Kieran Lehan, the project has always wandered between indie rock experimentation and rugged folk textures, but this latest single digs its boots firmly into the dusty terrain of outlaw country and cinematic folk rock.

Still High… by : Album Review

Determination runs through Still High…, the latest album from Vancouver rapper Raw Soul, and it’s the kind that only comes from someone who has genuinely fought for stability. Balancing life as a full-time lawyer while independently crafting music from his home studio, Raw Soul approaches hip hop with the mindset of someone constantly building two worlds at once.

Dumbo by : Review

Billie J Woolf arrives swinging the velvet curtains wide open with “Dumbo,” a debut single that feels less like a first release and more like the dramatic opening act of some grand theatrical spectacle.
Clocking in at over six minutes, the track refuses to play by the rules of quick-hit streaming culture, and honestly, good for it. Read more...

Conman by : Review

Tori Lord sharpens her claws on “Conman,” a sleek, slow-burning pop track that cuts through illusion with icy precision. The Canadian-born, New York–based artist has been steadily building a catalogue rooted in emotionally intelligent storytelling, but this latest release feels like her boldest statement yet.

Releases New Protest EP, Which Side Are You On?

Which Side Are You On? by Portland songwriter Mitch Whitaker arrives like a lit match dropped into dry grass. Sparse, stripped-back, and emotionally unflinching, the EP revives the folk protest tradition of Woody Guthrie, Bob Dylan, and Leonard Cohen in the light of recent traumatizing events like ICE seizing people from their homes, tearing them from families, and killing people even.

Bad Gag by : EP Review

There’s something gloriously scruffy about Bad Gag, the second EP from Hartlepool outfit Lurcher, and that rough-around-the-edges quality is exactly what gives it teeth. Formed in the kitchen of a pub and seemingly fuelled by cheap lager, long shifts, and collective irritation with modern culture, Lurcher make music that sounds like it was dragged through rainy backstreets and cigarette smoke before being thrown directly at the listener.

Fine Red Mist by : EP Review

Coming out of Battle Creek, Michigan, Fine Red Mist arrives with his self-titled EP that sounds like standing inside a thunderstorm wrapped in velvet. Built from the combined histories of seasoned local musicians who had crossed paths in various bands over the years, the project carries the confidence of artists who finally found the right chemistry at the right time.
