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 […]

Zook – “What’s It To You”

There’s a looseness and lightness to “What’s It to You” that makes it immediately enjoyable. The combination of choral oompa’s and screeching guitar is a surprising delight contrasted with the lounging energy of the rest of the song.

110: Beth Cameron of Forget Cassettes, Ponychase, Black Bra

This episode, we stray from the mixtape of new music format and sit down with Beth Cameron – best known for her work as Forget Cassettes – and discuss the hardships of being a female in the recording industry.

Charlie & The Evil Mothers – “Every Day is Sunday”

Every Day is Sunday by Charlie & the Evil Mothers The debut, self-titled, album from Charlie & The Evil Mothers was released back in April (we loved it) and I’ve been anxious to learn if that meant we’d experience a dearth of new music from the outfit as they worked the album cycle. Fortunately, that’s […]

Kyle Andrews – Robot Learn Love

A record that manages to mash big guitars and small accents perfectly. For instance, the first track “Make Me Feel Human”, explodes with guitars but treats you with the most perfect twinkling keyboard. It’s a combination that Andrews pulls off with great aplomb throughout the duration of the record.
