Certainly as time goes by, many genres have changed or rather have combined to create something new and original. A great example can be seen in the new album by New York’s White Rhino.The Journey is, as the title indicates, a fantastic journey through sound.

Winter Bisco Inferno Takes Colorado by Storm Part 1

The Disco Biscuits love Colorado! And how can I blame them? I come from Philadelphia just like they do and fled the East for the happy humble vibe of Colorado. There is something very special about this area, especially regarding music. I am not sure if it is the natural beauty, the thin air, or… Continue reading Winter Bisco Inferno Takes Colorado by Storm Part 1

Cousin J | Grown Up | Review

What can be considered real rap or hip hop music or just plain business? Many may argue that it’s all in the lyrics. In that case, to some extent, we can say that Cousin J is perhaps not really a rapper. Among other things, it may be so or not.What there’s absolutely no doubt about… Continue reading Cousin J | Grown Up | Review

Great American Taxi | Fox Theater | Boulder | 1/25/13 | Review

Shannon McNally is stomping her boots on the stage of the Fox Theatre as good as any other night crawler out there as she growls into the microphone like an early rocakbilly queen. Her voice croons over the upright bass of Amy Lavere, Shannon’s partner in crime in their band Chasing the Ghost, which they… Continue reading Great American Taxi | Fox Theater | Boulder | 1/25/13 | Review

Shook Twins | Shine Restaurant | Boulder, CO | 1/27/13 | Review

After a backbreaking weekend of live music, I strolled into Shine for a performance by self-professed “quirky folk” band, The Shook Twins. Shine is a glimpse into what Boulder was and in some circumstances still is, and the complete antithesis of the growing corporate model seen along Pearl Street and recently highlighted by the emergence… Continue reading Shook Twins | Shine Restaurant | Boulder, CO | 1/27/13 | Review

Lyric Dubee | Alive | Review

Is there an average age at which a person can be considered mature enough to be under the lights of a reflector or behind the camera? If it is because they become spoiled, adults entering the scene as such also do the same; if it’s because of the level of experience, there are many children… Continue reading Lyric Dubee | Alive | Review

Aron Lyrd | Lucid Dreams | Review

How many members does a band need to create a good sound? Many may say maybe three or four, while those who are more aware of the music scene today could say that a duo is enough. But the fact is that even one single great musician can create what one group of six people… Continue reading Aron Lyrd | Lucid Dreams | Review

King of Crownsville | Waiting There for Me | Review

Over the years we’ve seen rock, pop, and even hard rock slowly erode into over-commercialized, corporate puppet shows providing music that is extremely sing songy, predictable, popish and highly corporate. I hereby call this new breed of music “Poser Rock” and I want to personally thank all the corporate giants for successfully transforming “Sex Drugs… Continue reading King of Crownsville | Waiting There for Me | Review

Review: Foxygen's We Are The 21st Century Ambassadors Of Peace & Magic

2013 is alive with the sounds of Foxygen. As the new year began, I found myself hearing the band name everywhere and became eager for their first full length album to be released January 22. Although the LA-born duo have released a handful of songs since their formation in 2005, the Richard Swift-produced We Are… Continue reading Review: Foxygen's We Are The 21st Century Ambassadors Of Peace & Magic

Inch of Dark | Chapter No. 1 | Review

In this overly saturated genera/market with a plethora of artists coming out of the woodwork, armed with nothing more than a PC, Microphone, a guitar and a crappy sounding CD – it’s nice to know there are a few bands that can still rock out. These artists I speak of manage push their music out… Continue reading Inch of Dark | Chapter No. 1 | Review
