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.”

    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.”

      1blackfrend - Gaslight [Music Review]

      January 09, 2026 by Travis Erwin in Music, Punk, Indie Rock, Alternative, Rock
      “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.”

        Tyler Shamy - Potential [Music Review]

        January 09, 2026 by Travis Erwin in Music, Alternative, Pop
        “Tyler Shamy is a prolific songwriter with countless countless songs he’s written heard in movies and television. He’s also written global hits for other artists, and now he’s poised to be a breakout artist himself. ‘Potential’ is a song we can all relate to. A track about falling for who a person could be rather than who they are, delivered with heart and integrity, the song simply delivers a universal truth you can absolutely feel.”

            January 05, 2026 by Travis Erwin in Music, Indie Rock, Alternative, Rock
            “Concept albums are few and far between these days but Moon Walker is tunring back the clock and unleashing a full artistic assualt ont he sould with his upcoming concept album/film ‘Wasteland Country. ‘

            ’THE WORLD YOU BUILT’ is the newest single from that upcoming project and the intensity is palpable so I can’t wait to hear/see it all come together. The Indie Rock track gives you more with each listen and the emotion comes via an in your face arrangement and delivery that is hard to resist.”

              yetep x AMIDY - Paint The Sky [Music Review]

              January 05, 2026 by Travis Erwin in Music, Future Bass
              “An uplifting and soaring Future Bass track, ‘Paint The Sky’ from yetep and AMIDY is the kind of track that feels like you;ve heard it before. Not because it is derivative of other songs but because it has that instant timeless quality that good music often delivers. The track simply gets in your soul and makes you feel better for having listened. ”

                Slander x William Black - Back To U (Acoustic) [Music Review]

                January 05, 2026 by Travis Erwin in Music, Singer/Songwriter, EDM, Dance, Pop
                “Slander is joined by William Beck on this track of tender vulnerability. ‘Back To U’ is a song about putting yourself out there even though doing so leaves you susceptible to heartbreak. The track is a reminder than the onlyw ay to truly live is to leave yourself exposed to the potential for pain. The writing is perfect and the performance emotions the vulnerability in a tangible way that makes you feel every note of this one.”

                  “Łaszewo and AVELLO join forces to give us all a delightful ‘headrush.’ The track has a nice Future Bass build and the strong writing and emotive vocals add depth that mean this is a song you can move to or simply listen and reflect on the songwriting and performance. ”

                    “Yeshi puts an atmospheric stamp on the new year with her single, ‘Starlight.’ Created during a transformative trip to Los Angeles, Yeshi wrote, produced and recorded the vocals on her 25th birthday.

                      “Drew Schueler is an award winning songwriter. ONe of those guys that is often labeled as the next big thing. Despite these accolades and a very promising future the phrase ... I thought by now I’d have more figured out, hit him hard.

                      A sentiment many of us have had in multiple phases of life, but unliket he average person Schueler was able to take that doubt and resulting emotions and create a beautiful and heartfelt track that speak to the humanity of us all.”

                        “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.”

                          “This Comedic Punk track starts out sounding a bit like the Phineas and Ferb theme song and it is delivered a bit tongue in cheek.

                                  Sophia B - Jason [Music Review]

                                  November 12, 2025 by Travis Erwin in Music, Adult Contemporary, Commercial
                                  “Sophia B is but one of the latest talents to emerge out of Berklee and this smooth soulful track puts a new spin on heartbreak. Understanding the pain can be tough until you experience it for yourself and this song is about reflecting on a friend’s heartbreak after tasting it for yourself the first time. ‘Jason’ is a track that speaks of live and friendship and human empathy.”

                                    Dead Rose - Fade [Music Review]

                                    November 05, 2025 by Travis Erwin in Music, EDM, Future Bass
                                    “Future Bass and EDm are often all about the beat and drop with little regard to lyrical intensity. Dead Rose is not guilty of that with their latest offering, ‘Fade,’ a track that hits as hard emotionally as it does sonically. Well-written and cleanly produced the track is one yo can fall into as easy as move to the tranquil rhythms and build.”

                                      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.”

                                        Livingmore - Resident Psycho [Music Review]

                                        November 04, 2025 by Travis Erwin in Music, Alternative, Rock, Indie Pop
                                        “We’ve all had that one weird neighbor. Livingmore decided to take the odd experiences and sounds emitting from from their LA apartment neighbor and spin it into a song. ‘Resident Psycho’ is a gritty Alt Pop/Rock track with some old school psychedelic vibes layered in. Lyrically its more of a vibe than anything else, but the rythmn and hard-charged melody carry the day and you can feel this one in your teeth.”
