Friendship Commanders – “The Enemy I Know”

HOLD ON TO YOURSELF by Friendship Commanders Friendship Commanders released their Steve Albini produced full-length BILL back in October of 2018 and proceeded to hit the road for some impressive bouts of touring; spreading their emphatic, big riff, rock styles across the country (vaguely unrelated side note: they sold some pretty great neckties as merch […]

Iven – “Weren’t You At My House Last Week?”

Weren't You at My House Last Week? by Iven Following up on his challenging-yet-rewarding album Little Lady #2, Iven has been slowly releasing a stream of new tracks that will culminate in a collection entitled Eight New Songs; a succinct and possibly very descriptive title.

Sundaes – “The First Waltz”

I became aware of Sundaes with the release of the single “Pretty Wife” back in the spring of 2018.

Without going into a full-on review of that track, it was an excellent introduction to something new from Freeze; stylistically and sonically. It’s a sweet, […]

Grumpy – “Davy Jones”

Davy Jones by Grumpy “In the end, I couldn’t be alone without a screen on / or something to lean on” rings the choral refrain from Grumpy’s latest single “Davy Jones.” The track doesn’t stop there with its somber reflections on how we spend our time but it’s not casting judgment either; it’s an introspective […]
