Kerr Mercer - Terrified [Music Review]

March 06, 2026 by Travis Erwin in Music, Alternative, Pop, Adult Contemporary
“Kerr Mercer is a newcomer to keep your eyes and ears on. ‘Terrified’ is a big soaring Al Pop track about the fear of simply not being enough for the one you love. The vocals soar at times and delve into a vulnerability that makes you truly feel the fears and insecurities we’ve all experienced at one time or another.”

    Anais Campbell - Small Things Everyday [Music Review]

    March 06, 2026 by Travis Erwin in Music, Alternative, Pop, Americana
    “A stripped down Alt Pop track with Americana vibes is what you can expect from Anais Campbell’s track, ‘Small Things Everyday.’ The Australian songstress leans into tender emotion with a soft but powerful vocal delivery and writing that should appeal to the emotions of any dreamer.”

      Archi Deep - We All Live in a Fantasy [Music Review]

      March 06, 2026 by Travis Erwin in Music, Indie Rock, Alternative, Punk, Rock
      “Straddling the line between Indie Rock and Punk, Archi Deep delivers a high energy performance with “We All Live in a Fantasy.” The track looks at the walls and protections we build around us as protection but that bubble isn’t true reality and sometimes we are forced to see the truth beyond.”

        Ryann Ross - Blubird [Music Video Review]

        March 06, 2026 by Travis Erwin in Music, Alternative, Pop
        “Like a modern Carly Simon, rising songstress, Ryann Ross unleashes a quietly powerful track that will stick to your bones long after the last note. ‘Blubird’ is a stripped down emotional experience you can feel as much as hear. and the video does a great job of giving visuals to intensify the emotions of the songwriting.”

          February 08, 2026 by Travis Erwin in Music Videos, Punk, Hip-Hop, Alternative, Rock

            TENDER - Heavy [Music Review]

            February 08, 2026 by Travis Erwin in Music, Indie Rock, Indie Pop, Alternative
            “UK indie duo TENDER have released ‘Heavy’ the lead single from their fourth studio album, “Where The Waves Break,” set for release June 4th, 2026.

            ’Heavy’ comes in with a grooved intro that has you leaning in even before the almost sinister vocal style comes in. TENDER said, “It sets the tone for a record that explores the push and pull of opposing emotional forces, from certainty and contentment to doubt and restlessness.”

            The track itself is about having a crisis of identity even though life is seemingly going well.”

              Frida and The Mann - Monsters [Music Review]

              February 08, 2026 by Travis Erwin in Music, Singer/Songwriter, Alternative, Rock
              “Frida and The Mann unleash a haunting and brooding track that grips the soul and makes you think about those close to you. No betrayal hurts like those closest to you and sometimes those are the ‘Monsters’ we never quite escape. This masterful song is an exquisitely delivered vibe about that very thing.”

                Lø Spirit - XO to the Grave [Music Video Review]

                February 01, 2026 by Kreadiv Kesh in Alternative, Rock
                “The “XO to the Grave” music video by Lø Spirit delivers a visually engaging blend of alternative rock energy and heartfelt personal moments. The dynamic performance shots are elevated by the incorporation of cute family home videos, which bring a warm, nostalgic contrast to the track’s driving sound. These candid clips add emotional depth, making the video feel both powerful and intimate. Overall, it’s a creative visual that complements the song’s intensity while celebrating real‑life connection.”

                  “Candy Cane Cigarettes” by M the Myth blends catchy, upbeat production with a subtle layer of introspection beneath the surface. The contrast between the playful title and reflective lyrics gives the song depth and personality.”

                    Avery Cochrane - Griever [Music Review]

                    January 20, 2026 by Travis Erwin in Music, Alternative, Pop
                    “We all long to go scorched earth on those who have done us wrong, but the opportunity to do so doesn’t always come, or when it does we are in shock and don’t think of what we should have said until later.

                    ’Griever’ from Avery Cochrane is an Alt Pop track about this very thing, about facing down those who did you wrong and triumphantly having your say.”

                        “Written about an ex friend, 1blackfriend turned a bad experience into a great song. ‘Gaslight’ is about quietly be controlled.

                        ”I knew something was wrong, but stayed numb and compliant. this song is me realizing how easily my life was shaped by someone who never asked permission.”

                        The Punk anthem comes in with energy and delivers its lyrical blow the way good righteous Punk should. 1blackfriend is poised for greatness given the strength of this their sophomore release.”

                                  Savanna Leigh - nothing yet [Music Review]

                                  December 11, 2025 by Travis Erwin in Music, Alternative, Pop, Singer/Songwriter, Lyric Video
                                  “Fans named this single after Alt Pop songwriter, Savanna Leigh played the song and said its called ... well, nothing yet. The track gained attention from those live shows and fans started referring it it as ‘nothing yet’ and the name stuck.

                                  The track is a heartfelt look at a relationship you know will never work int he end and yet you plunge in anyway to pas time until you do find the right fit.”

                                    December 06, 2025 by Travis Erwin in Music, Indie Rock, blues, Alternative, Rock
                                    “Hamish Anderson channels the classic guitar Gods on this Blues inspired, Indie Rock track. This Aussie might hail from down under but he’s quickly rising tot he top of talented musicians imparting their will with carefully chosen songwriting and those delightful guitar licks.”

                                      Forrest Day - Sweatshop Cathedral [Music Video Review]

                                      November 11, 2025 by Kreadiv Kesh in Alternative, Rock
                                      “Forrest Day’s “SWEATSHOP CATHEDRAL” isn’t just a music video it’s a visual sermon on chaos, control, and creative rebellion. True to his genre-blending style, Forrest delivers a performance that’s as cinematic as it is confrontational, mixing gritty realism with bursts of surreal energy.”

                                        Augustine - Fumbling [Music Review]

                                        November 05, 2025 by Travis Erwin in Music, Alternative, Indie Pop
                                        “we all fall into a rut and life grows stagnant from time to time. Its realizing and shaking things up that can be hard. Augustine takes on this mindset with ‘Fumbling’ a soft emotional track about finding your legs and moving forward once again after a down period. The Swedish Alt Pop artist showcases talent and emotion on a well-written track performed with genuine authenticity and talent.”
