Keeana Kee “Tik Tok”: The Ultimate Summer Anthem Groover City
I wasn’t deep into rock twenty or thirty years ago. Still, I always felt connected to it - my first job was in radio, and I've stuck with it ever since, for more than 25 years now. Over time, I’ve learned to love them all, one riff and one story at a time. And today, I find myself shifting from celebrating yet another rock release… to mourning the passing of […]
STREET FIGHTS, SWEAT, AND ‘WHISKEY QUEEN’ A handshake’s a nice idea - until it isn’t. You don’t show up to a Casket Rats gig expecting manners. You come for the punch, the growl, the boots planted firm in dirty basement stages while amps bleed through the drywall. And Whiskey Queen, the latest riot from Boston’s hard rock ruffians, is just that: a sweaty, full-throttle blitz of riffs and grit, served […]
AMAPIANO, AFTER DARK, AND THAT WEIRDLY FEELING There’s this moment - usually somewhere between your last drink and that split second before your body gives in - where your brain drifts into a half-dream. That’s where I landed when I hit play on TWILIGHT (Sp Deville Remix) by Leonie Sherif. One second in and I’m already floating somewhere between incense smoke and London pavement. Familiar and surreal. The bass moves […]
A Piano, A Goodbye, and A Good Song Three years. That’s how long it took for MICALL's Have A Home to be born. Not from convenience or a sound pack loop, but from sweat, sentiment, and a grand piano. I’ve listened to hundreds of songs that aim for the heart and barely graze it. I skipped them. But this one lives there. MICALL lives in Los Angeles, but her music […]
When Legacy Doesn’t Pay the Bills You’d think having a famous last name might open all the right doors. Red carpets. Champagne. A spot in the front pew of country music’s sacred circle. But no. Cali Tucker’s latest release Last Name is not the story of riding coattails. It’s the story of standing on stage with your own damn boots, whether or not the crowd claps. And that, my friends, […]
Just a Song? That’s What I Thought Too KP Hawthorn’s Fool’s Gold: There’s something about this song that made me stop everything I was doing. Not pause - stop. I was mid-email, mid-scroll, mid-whatever, and then Fool’s Gold played, and I realized the song had better self-awareness than most people I know. KP Hawthorn pushes it open and sets her stories on the table, right next to your coffee cup. […]
I was eight in 1981. Somewhere in a blocky Eastern European flat, probably pretending to be a robot or spacing out to cartoons. Meanwhile, halfway across the world, The Dogmatics were plugging into amps that hummed like faulty streetlights and getting ready to rattle Boston’s bones. Flash forward 43 years. It’s 2025, and those same bones are rattling again - not from memory, but from Nowheresville, a brand-new album from […]
Into the Wild Without a Map Some silences carry weight. Not the hollow kind - this one feels like fog hugging your windshield at midnight. That’s where Harry Verheijen comes with Hinterlands and plants its flag. In that stretch of terrain where no one’s rushing to be heard, and yet everything resonates, Hinterlands quietly takes its place. Pulled straight from the middle of Fields of Passage - Harry Verheijen’s ten-track […]
Another Hit from the Night Shift Digging through the daily findings is a gamble - sometimes you strike gold. What did I find today? Full jackpot. Fresh sound, bright chords, and the kind of magnetic pull that turns a simple track into a late-night companion. Sons of Martha are back, and Skyrocket is burning through the skyline with jangly guitars, sharp hooks, and a restless heartbeat. Released on July 4th, […]
When You’re Half-Asleep and Still Lying to Yourself I didn’t need to read the press release to know what this one was about. KC Star's In My Dreams sounds like that quiet moment after everyone leaves the party. When you’re staring at a half-empty glass and realizing the thing you miss isn’t coming back. That’s where KC Star and Austen the Poet are writing from. Not the break-up. The echo […]
A Spark Caught in a Song: “Fire & Honey” Some songs arrive the way summer storms do. Charged, sudden, and full of feeling. Fire & Honey, the latest single from Southern California duo Wild Mountain Mystics, caught me right between memory and motion. It begins with a shimmer: "Off she goes higher and brighter / Lightnin’ in the sky..." And just like that, I was there - watching someone shed […]
Inside Skar de Line: When the Mirror Dares You to Look and You Still Stare Back I still remember writing about Vignette, where Skar de Line torched his blank self-portrait like it owed him rent. That track was brooding, poetic, theatrical. A sort of sonic slow burn that left ash trails in your brain. But this new one - Inside - it slices. Not in a violent way, more like […]
