Justin and The Cosmics – PERF

What if a new listener, hypothetically, had never seen Justin and The Cosmics perform live?

Only – “Jerk”

“Jerk” extends the bands post-punk musical style and adds the additional flavor of female vocalist Josephine Moore.

Jonesiii from the Moon – “N y L”

Dave Paulson – Sandusky, Ohio

Dave Paulson (NORM, The Privates, My So-Called Band) wrote an album inspired by TOMMY BOY, the 1995 comedy starring Chris Farley. The best part is, its nowhere close to a trainwreck.

Eve Maret – “No More Running”

No More Running by Eve Maret There is something decidedly familiar and entirely otherworldly about the track “No More Running” from Eve Maret. Sonically, the single is powered by 80’s keyboard tones and beats that transform into a wash of ambient sound, enveloping the listener. The vocals are run through a vocoder like effect to […]
