Jesse Roper - Horizons [Review]

March 30, 2021 by Travis Erwin in Punk, Music, blues, Alternative, Folk

Rating: 4 out of 5

“f you dig a bit of Bluesy weirdness, then Jesse Roper has the track for you. ‘Horizons’ offers a soulful twist on the world of extraterrestrials, but the track really has a vague take on the otherworldliness aspect and relies on the bold vocal performance that just lodges in your bones.

Nathaniel Rateliff comes to mind when you try to draw a comparison, but the track has a unique edge that simply is hard to deny. ”

    Henry Conlon - I'm Coming Home [Review]

    December 30, 2020 by Travis Erwin in Music, Americana, blues, Folk

    Rating: 4.5 out of 5

    “Henry Conlon has captured a dark gritty sound with the acoustic version of his signature track, ‘I’m Coming Home.’ Whilelt he single lives in the Americana,/Folk world of sounds it also brings an old school Blues refrain to the mix and all of it combines to create a heavy undertone to the emotional edge of both the songwriting and the vocal performance. This is a song that sits with you long after the last note has faded. ”

      Dennyiah - Sailor [Music Video Review]

      July 18, 2020 by Travis Erwin in Music Videos, Singer/Songwriter, blues

      Rating: 4 out of 5

      “A slow, soulful track that hints at the Blues behind a songwriter emotional vibe. The ocean and our journey through life form a strong metaphor that is brought to life by these emotion laden vocals and a nice arrangement that serves this track quite well. This is stripped down songwriting and performing that feels far bigger than it actually is thanks to the talent behind it.”

        The Customers - Lost The World [Review]

        May 01, 2020 by Travis Erwin in Music, Alternative, blues

        Rating: 3.5 out of 5

        “A rocking Blues number, that delivers a hard punch musically. The vocals lean to a spoken Blues style, but for me it was the hard edge of the music that kept me listening here. Something tells me this band is one that puts on a must see show on stage and I hope they venture down to Southern California so that I can see them live for myself.

        Rock and Roll isn’t dead but it is hard to find and The Customers out of Oakland, California are hell bent to keep the sound alive and well. ”

          SISTER COOKIE - ON GOLGOTHA [Review]

          April 16, 2020 by Travis Erwin in Music, Jazz, Soul, blues

          Rating: 4 out of 5

          “The 12 Bar Blues with a Jazz infused bit of funky Gospel is how I’d describe this darkly twisted track from SISTER COOKIE.

          Energetic and danceable, this one has a retro Rockabilly vibe that makes it perfect for a swing around the dance floor, but don’t underestimate the twisty lyrics of this soulful single. ”

            Hollyy - What A Shame [Review]

            March 13, 2020 by Travis Erwin in Music, Indie Rock, Alternative, blues

            Rating: 4.5 out of 5

            “This track incorporates a bit of a 50’s do wop vibe into a modern Indie Rock/ Americana sound, making it feel as if the single could be a hit across many different decades.

            A slow dance track with soul and introspection behind it. You certainly will not be saying ‘What A Shame’ after giving this latest single from Hollyy a thoughtful listen.

            Hollyy is an up and coming alternative soul band from Chicago.”

              Von Deckle - Devilish Girl [Review]

              February 29, 2020 by Travis Erwin in Music, Commercial, blues, Alternative

              Rating: 4 out of 5

              “This track delivers a rich and earthly Blues Roots vibe. Hard driving guitar energy backs the vocals, which feels like a ride down a rough gravel road. That is a good thing here, because the vibe fits perfectly with the lyrics and spirit of this song. The songwriting puts a twist on the trope of selling your soul to the devil to gain the thing you most desire. In this case, the love of a woman. ”

                Rating: 4.5 out of 5

                “This track is about attitude and sensuality and the preconceived notions of society. Kendall Rucks delivers a sultry rock siren performance that lyrically unravels the idea of conformity as it progress. Intricate, complex, and alluring, I can’t wait to hear more from this artist. ”
