TiRon
Ahead Of The Ranks All you need is one song to really sweep you off your feet. Fortunately, LA grassroots hip hop artist TiRon has many. Having guested on Pac Div‘s song ‘Paper’, the young LA native has a surprisingly smooth delivery and production to boot, his lyrics spitting love about girls and the [...]

Lonelady- Nerve Up
Lonelady- Nerve Up 5/10 It’s difficult to view this album as anything more than nostalgia. Julie Campbell has stripped the ’80s naked, picking apart her favourite elements of The Fall, Gang Of Four, The Motels and Wire. She offers few original ideas and rarely creates anything that can be described as an innovative piece of [...]

Alaskas
HI-FIve Audio Foot Village meets Alps Of NSW, yeah that’s right, this is some weird shit. Dillon James Rego’s misty complexion sets the scene for his rather twisted take on drone pop that combines sacrificial chants with heavy saturated noise. He plays loop de loop with drone pedals, guitar and a tom drum, creating spacey [...]

Grayson Gilmour-No Constellation 9/10 “He makes places and characters come to life, breaking down the facade of modern pop music and presenting a more realistic approach to song writing that completely exposes itself to the listener… There’s so many rich layers formed through hours of immense concentration and dedication that it truly sparkles.

Grayson Gilmour- No Constellation
Grayson Gilmour-No Constellation 9/10 Grayson Gilmour has been likened to Sufjan Stevens, possessing a similar talent that spans many different disciplines and styles of music. No Constellation is his fifth full-length album and continues to burrow deep into the avant-garde, anti-folk, indie-pop world, expanding and building on his previous four records, Phantom Limbs, You Sleep, [...]

Child Bite: new single & album
Feast On My Wounded Body Michigan has a proud punk history and throughout the last decade Child Bite has been keeping that odyssey alive. The state is famous for it’s shabby, rebellious past, birthing the MC5, The Stooges, Alice Cooper and The White Stripes. Child Bite is as equally progressive and original, sticking a more [...]
