September 07, 2022 by Kreadiv Kesh in Alternative, Rock

Rating: 5 out of 5

“Don’t Sleep, Repeat” has a smooth yet energetic delivery. 44phantom and Machin Gun Kelly gives us a pop meets rock love track. They explain their emotions when it comes to relationships but bring engagement to anyone listening.”

    Arkells - Teenage Tears [Music Video Review]

    September 05, 2022 by Travis Erwin in Music Videos, Indie Pop, Alternative

    Rating: 4 out of 5

    “The Arkells are joined here by Tegan and Sara on this heartfelt track. ‘Teenage Years’ hits all the feels and the blend of voices play off of each other to add to the emotional intensity of the build. The writing is spot on and the delivery every bit as flawless. A track you can listen to over and over again and pick up new nuances each time you do so. ”

      Francisco Martin - Narcissist [Review]

      August 26, 2022 by Travis Erwin in Music, Pop, Rock, Alternative

      Rating: 4 out of 5

      “Many of us catch ourselves being in selfish or unappealing way, and recognizing those tendencies exist helps guide us. Francisco Martin puts that perspective into song form and that gives us even more chance to reflect and realize we are not alone in this pursuit of being better each and every day. A tender vulnerable song with energy is tough to pull off but ‘Narcissist’ doe exactly that.

      A fun ride!”

        Justin Clancy - Run From The Devil [Music Video Review]

        August 05, 2022 by Travis Erwin in Music Videos, Indie Pop, Alternative, Pop

        Rating: 4 out of 5

        “The track hits like Billie Eilish meets Justin Timberlake with a heavy dose of attitude and verve to push it forward. An engaging track and beat that demands and holds your attention.

        ’Run From The Devil’ could be the first you’ve heard of Justin Clancy, but given the incredible talent and passion it certainly will not be the last. An intense yet entertaining ride.”

          “Gina Naomi Baez is a successful actor and multi-talented artist. Her latest track, ‘skyline’ is about finding and holding on to positivity even when life turns dark and tumultuous. A slow building and emotional delivery holds the listener tight and well-written lyrics keep the intrigue and attachment at peak levels. ”

            ibeshocker - Bad News [Review]

            July 26, 2022 by Kreadiv Kesh in Singer/Songwriter, Alternative

            Rating: 4 out of 5

            “Ibeshocker is sending a musical warning and its “Bad News”. Someone will show you signs that they are no good from their actions. The song speaks on those signs but as he recaps he notices that she could just be misunderstood. Some girls just want to have fun and party while others bring drama along the way.”

              Delilah Blower - This Ain't Love - [Review]

              July 20, 2022 by Travis Erwin in Music, Soul, Contemporary R&B, Alternative

              Rating: 4 out of 5

              “The vocal tone carries a bit of Amy Winehouse, but the groove and build feels more like ZZ Ward. Either way, Delilah Blower is her own artist and certainly delivers the it factor right from the start.

              ”This Ain’t Love’ is the kind of track that sinks its hooks in deeper and deeper as you listen, and that sticks with you long after the final note has faded from your ears.”

                  Rating: 4 out of 5

                  “I loved the writing of this track above all else but that is not to say the vocal talent doesn’t shine as well. There is an honest almost conversational vibe to the lyrical build and the emotive delivery feels every bit as genuine.

                  Dark and light at the same time this single really simply felt honest and true the way few artists can pull off. Add in a unique vocal tone and songwriting that didn’t really hit me as similar to things I’ve heard before and I was hooked by the talent and uniqueness. ”

                    “Gwyn Love has the kind of emotive voice that hooks you from the first word. This track has some Pop Punk elements that have a 90s nostalgia feel but also some Contemporary Pop vibes that make it feel modern and timely. Almost in the vein of Taylor Swift collabs with Green Day. Well-written and sneakily pointed the track keeps you leaning in and eager for the next line. ”

                      “This hard-hitting track takes a look at what it feels like to be stuck in the heavy mud of addiction. Personal responsibility is one thing, but the systemic problem created by a capitalistic society is the culprit in the cross hairs here of this flow which blends Rap and an Alternative Rock style to deliver the message. This is a song that has the power to make people stop and think about this problem and the people fighting to stay above ground.”

                        No doubt more than a few will be offended, but I’d sure like to think Jesus would dance and smile along to this jaunty track.”

                            “Coming with a male Billie Eilish feel, this dark and emotive track fromRONIN unleashes a tight lyrical refrain that is laced with both anger and vulnerability. The emotion is very much palpable on this slow and deliberate build. The arrangement is a perfect match to the nuance of the performance and mood of the track. The writing is dark and stark at times, but spot on in capturing the essence.”

                              “This is the kind of Alt Rock song you don’t hear as much these days, but fans of Alice in Chains and Soundgarden will find it easy to dial in and connect with the track. All will others because the single offers a timeless set of vocals that is lacking in today’s charts. Talented and emotive, this build holds the listener tight and keeps them leaning in. The melody and musicianship are every bit as strong.

                              The hard edges make this one easy to love. ”

                                “A haunting early build slides into more of an internal determination with a harder edge as the track progresses. DYLYN goes back and forth with a slow, yet deliberate delivery that reveals the emotion and vulnerability of the well-written lyrics.

                                Finding comparable isn’t easy as the track straddles several genres but for me this is somewhere between Billie Eilish and Halsey.”

                                  “Kat Von D is an icon. Her reach has expanded far beyond the tattoo world and you never quite know where she will be making an impact next. For now you can enjoy her sultry tones at the mic where she is supported by Dave Grohl’s masterful drumming to bring her track, ‘Enough’ to your speakers. The track is all, about mood and vibe as is Kat Von D herself. ”

                                    “De’Wayne unleashes this Alt-Rock track about being true to yourself rather than allowing your need to fit in or the demands of society dictate who and what you are. This energetic ode tp personal freedom feels unique in its arrangement and construction and highlights the artistry every step of the way. ”

                                      “Pure Rock and Roll revolution! As me tentatively reenter into the post pandemic world we need a walk up song and this track is it. The Congregation has given is the ‘Soundtrack to the End of the World’ and is is hard charged and glorious so kick open the damn door and stomp on through to the other side. ”

                                        Connor Kauffman - Bleed [Review]

                                        “We have all shed some blood, at least metaphorically, in the name of love. Connor Kauffman has tapped that emotional vein on this passionate track that has a hint of 90s Rock along with a contemporary Pop Punk vibe at times.

                                        ’Bleed’ offers a catchy hook and a lyrical progression that is easy to dial in on and sing along with. Straightforward Rock that speaks to the heart.”
