Krystal - Tengo Stamina [Review]

May 03, 2026 by Kreadiv Kesh in Indie Rock, Indie Pop
“Tengo Stamina” is a bold, high-energy single that captures the mindset of a woman who knows her power and moves with purpose. Driven by confident vocals and an attitude-forward delivery, the track commands attention from the first beat. There’s a strong sense of self-assurance woven throughout, making it feel both empowering and unapologetic. It’s the kind of record that doesn’t just play it makes a statement”

    Navah Sea x Maudsley -Laugh About It [Review]

    May 03, 2026 by Kreadiv Kesh in Indie Rock, Indie Pop
    “Laugh About It” feels like one of those records that doesn’t try too hard—and that’s exactly why it works. Navah Sea delivers a laid-back but emotionally aware performance, balancing introspection with a kind of quiet confidence. There’s a subtle duality in the tone: it’s reflective without being heavy, almost like choosing peace over pressure.

    The production from MAUDSLEY leans minimal but intentional. The beat doesn’t overpower—it gives space. Smooth instrumentation, light bounce, and a mellow rhythm create a vibe that sits somewhere between late-night thinking and daytime cruising. It’s the kind of track that grows on you the more you sit with it.”

      The People - Stand Up [Muic Review]

      April 24, 2026 by Travis Erwin in Music, Commercial
      “Some songs speak entirely for themselves. ‘Stand Up’ from The People is such a track.

      Yes, it is a political song, or at least will be categorized as such in this fractured country, but in reality this is a song about human rights and human decency and therefore should not be controversial. But hey, literally everything is controversial these days.

      Give the track a listen. There is a hint of Queen and classic Rock (which has always been political) in both lyrical content and many a memorable performance.”

        Gabriela Bee - 17 [Music Review]

        April 24, 2026 by Travis Erwin in Music, Alternative, Pop
        “Gabriela Bee has plenty to say on her new single, ‘17.’ Before I weigh in I want to share some thoughts from the artist ...

        ’At the heart of the song, ‘17’ reflects on a formative year marked by overthinking, isolation, and learning to process life as it unfolds.’

        Adulthood is tough and taking those first few steps even more so. This song displays a maturity in songwriting and the soft tender delivery sells those emotions well. A track we can all enjoy and appreciate no matter our age.”

          Mathilde Widding - Burning Pockets Of Love [Music Review]

          April 24, 2026 by Travis Erwin in Music, Soul, Contemporary R&B, blues
          “Norwegian songstress, Mathilde Widding brings power, emotion, and blurred lines with her latest single, ‘Burning Pockets of Love.’ The Bluesy, Retro Soul infused track drips with emotion and determination.

          A track about taking on the weight of false promises for far too long and finally breaking free is a vibe perfect for those nights of self reflection or a long drive away from a troublesome past.”

            KELS - Daddy's Not The One [Music Review]

            April 24, 2026 by Travis Erwin in Music, Adult Contemporary, Americana, blues, Alternative, Pop
            “Fresh off her performance at the NFL Draft last night, KELS unfurls this sultry bit of Dirty Blues. ‘Daddy’s Not The One’ is a powerful ode to freedom and independence. The track oozes with confidence and take charge attitude while maintaining a sexy subterfuge about it all. ”

              Saint Soldier - Theater [Music Review]

              April 24, 2026 by Travis Erwin in Music, Hip-Hop, Conscious
              “Saint Soldier is unflinching in his social commentary of the times with ‘Theatre.’ The flow leans toward a spoken word delivery but it works well here with an ample emotive push moving the track forward with intensity and passion. A set of lyrics that unveils something new with each listen Definitely a song to dig in on and digest over multiple listens.”

                April 19, 2026 by Travis Erwin in Music Videos, Indie Pop
                “Some songs demand yous it up and listen. ‘THE REAPER’ from little image is a deeply human track that immerses the listener in a deluge of emotion, but it also instills a hint of hope to go along with the despair and grief. A meaningful track that stands out in the Indie Pop landscape with clarity and insight into the human psyche. ”

                  “Some tracks are tough to categorize and Ben Barbic’s ‘More To Life’ fits that bill. The Reggae vibes are undeniable but the track also lean on Hip-Hop culture and style in. A rhythmic and engaging delivery carries the listener along on the search for more.”

                    “Kelsey Olivia utilizes an interesting staccato cadence to delivery this Electro Pop track about a relationship that just won’t quite end. Love is hard and letting go can be difficult even when both parties know doing so would be for the best. The unique structure helps us to feel the chaos of such a relationship.”

                      April 19, 2026 by Travis Erwin in Music, Singer/Songwriter, Indie Rock, Indie Pop, Americana
                      “Band of Revelations hails from the UK though this track has a definite Americana vibe. ‘All The Way Home’ is a song about grief but rather than focusing on things as an ending the track offers some hope to go with the sadness and the band called it a song of new beginnings. Lyrically the track could be taken several different way and that is often the case with any well rendered art.”

This is a track that means more with each subsequent listen so add it to you playlists and enjoy the ride because there is plenty in the tank despite the track being called, ‘Fumes.’ ”

                                  Green Acres - Cotton Candy [Music Review]

                                  April 19, 2026 by Travis Erwin in Music, Indie Rock, Indie Pop, Alternative, Rock
                                  “Green Acres pours up a nice pint of warm nostalgia with ‘Cotton Candy.’ The Indie Rock track is about a campus brewery they frequented during college and the need/desire to recapture those carefree moments again.”

                                    Codefendants - The Fix [Music Review]

                                    April 05, 2026 by Travis Erwin in Music, Punk, Alternative, Rock
                                    “Teh story of the Codefendents is a good one ...

                                    Get Dead vocalist Sam King’s graffiti crew were giving tattoos and making flash art to raise money to help rapper Ceschi Ramos when he was in prison. Months later they met at the Gilman Street Project in Berkeley, California. They bonded, talking about their love of hip-hop and punk rock, over a bottle of Jameson. They didn’t know it yet, but they had just started Codefendants. Impossible to define by traditional standards, Codefendants were forged out of a desire to make an album that sounded like nothing else, so they enlisted Fat Mike of NOFX and Baz the Frenchman to make a completely genre-fluid album; a cross between hip hop, new-wave, flamenco, and the Beatles. They call the sound ‘Crime Wave.’

                                    The new single ‘The Fix’ is an 80s inspired fusion of old school Pop modern Punk and musical trailblazing.”

                                      Blackbird x Pro Made This - Burn It Down [Music Review]

                                      April 05, 2026 by Travis Erwin in Music, Electro Pop, Indie Pop, Dance
                                      “Originally from Cyprus but now based in LA, Blackbird fuses her Mediterranean background into a mix of exptic sounds and styles. Pro MAde This layers in Electro Dance production values to give this track an added energy that breathes further life into the track. ‘Burn It Down’ is a simmering exotic build that will scorch your soul with heat and talent.”

                                        Scott Quinn - Overdrawn [Music Review]

                                        April 05, 2026 by Travis Erwin in Music, Indie Pop
                                        “British singer/songwriter and performer, Scott Quinn offers a tieless sound with ‘Overdrawn.’ Emotive vocals over a classic musical sound tell the story of a relationship ending that perhaps never should have gotten started in the first place. Sometimes love simply isn’t enough to sustain two people no matter how much we want to romanticize that idea.”
