Harry Kappen is a man who can get me to stop what I am doing. Good Samaritans is out now and I have played it more times than I can count. It attracts attention quickly. The drums continue to roll, the guitars play on and before you know it you...

Pop-Rock/Review The Ruffles – Baby Blue Bronco

The Ruffles have created a song like a memory you can play loud. From the first note, “Baby Blue Bronco” is moving with a lively and smooth rhythm and never gets dull. The Ruffles’ family exposed them to music, so Kenzington, Charlotte, and Paris grew up with music and they...

ROCK/Review OpCritical – Guillotine

OpCritical is no soft touch. “Guillotine” starts on a powerful note, with guitars jumping in sharp, quick bursts, followed by the low end and the guitars smashing into each other. This is a song that delivers an urgent message about inequality from the opening bars. OpCritical was created with a...

Pop-Rock/Review One Empty Toybox – Cyberstalking

One Empty Toybox has created a song out of something disturbing and made it music you just want to listen to! Cyberstalking doesn’t shy away from its topic, but neither is it too morbid or dark. It doesn’t take over the whole song, it keeps that idea in the song....

Sweet Mess can hold a room all on their own, and “The Warning” shows that. It’s a band designed for the stage and that live gladiator spirit is shimmering in every moment of the song. Originally from Phoenix, this 4-piece got their chops in the ring playing tribute shows for...

ROCK/Review Sam Sly – Intwined

On “Intwined,” Sam Sly has created something that is handmade in the best sense of the word. Here you can hear real instruments doing real work. It does not follow any trend. It simply follows the direction of the sound, giving a very natural feel to the song. Sly learned...

Pop-Rock/Review Matt DeAngelis – Playing God

Matt DeAngelis has created a song that has a strong sense of urgency, but never strays from its form. From the first few bars, “Playing God” seems to have a certain momentum that never abates until the very end. It’s the songs that DeAngelis has been writing since his youth...
