Side Chain Strike Back with Transference: A Bold Metal Revival

Back from the Silence, Louder Than Ever Side Chain returned in 2024 like they’d never left the rehearsal room. Guitars buzzing, ideas stacked, and a hunger sharpened by the pause. They came armed - Equipoise Delirium, Macabre, Megalomaniac with its pounding video cut, revamped versions of Fall On Me and Burden, and a full lineup of remixed and remastered old sparks reignited. One notable aspect of their revival was Side Chain Transference, which captivated audiences and set the stage for […]

Joe Bourdet With Illinois And A Cover with Meadow Rock Heart

Rediscovering Dan Fogelberg, One Pedal Steel at a Time Joe Bourdet is staging a homecoming, rather than a revolution.

A fine cover of Dan Fogelberg's "Illinois," rebuilt piece by piece in his own signature style: Meadow Rock. This endeavor highlights Joe Bourdet's unique take on musical nostalgia and pays homage to his influences. Some call […]

Bog Witch With Meet Me – A Tender And Whispered Protest

Bog Witch – Meet Me: the Art of Saying Everything Softly Sometimes a song walks in like it knows something you don’t. And sometimes it’s not a song - it’s a sigh, a slow collapse you didn’t notice until the weight hit your chest. Meet Me by Bog Witch, the project name of indie artist Wendy DuMond, did that to me. Not loud. Not flashy. Just… honest. Like a candle flickering in a room full of sirens. Released on May 26, […]

Naomi Neva Faces the Flames in Alt-Rock Anthem Burning

Naomi Neva - Burning: There’s something primal about fire. First it takes, then it strips you clean, and finally - keeps you awake at night. Naomi Neva takes it further - it sings. Burning is the latest alt-rock offering from the Oakland-based artist, and it slips in from the edges and stares until you listen. Honestly, the first time I heard it, I felt everything. Grief, betrayal, fear, and that quiet fury that simmers just beneath the ribcage when the […]
