Blind Uncle Harry – “Shambala Warrior” review
Final verdict: 7/10 ★★★⋆˙⟡☆ I have been aware of Blind Uncle Harry for a while, having been introduced to him through his 2025 single “Kimberly Kankowski.” For better or for worse, I chalked him up to being a “comedy rock” act (as much as I hate to slap that label on music, because what do I… Read more

Kenny Foster – “Sideways Apocalypse” review
Final verdict: 8/10 ★★★★☆ You know Kenny Foster – “Poor Little Trillionaire,” “Fixing Up Everything,” and other songs that I am sure evade me at the moment. The Connecticut-native singer-songwriter has a bit of an activist streak, with his new single “Sideways Apocalypse” satirizing the current political climate of the United States. It only makes sense,… Read more

Second Choice – “Where You Found Me (feat. Dimi De San)” review
Final verdict: 8/10 ★★★★☆ Swedish musician Fredrik Lindström has been around for longer than most of my reader base has been alive, playing guitar in a whole slew of bands since 1992. In 2010, he started Second Choice, a solo project designed to accommodate all his musical ideas that did not fit the mold of any… Read more

Jackalico – “The Sun Under the Water” review
Final verdict: 8/10 ★★★★☆ It is not so frequent that I spend a lot of time thinking before I write a review – I am the impulsive type, the kind of guy to listen to an album and instantly get to work on writing about it, my thoughts flowing in an endless stream, not always intelligibly,… Read more

Chris Keaton and the Millennials – “Lucky For Me” review
Final verdict: 9/10 ★★★★⋆˙⟡ Billy Joel is a big guilty pleasure of mine, I must admit. He is but a whiny man who whines, but he writes some very good songs which to whine with. And now that I found Chris Keaton and the Millennials’ “Lucky For Me”… it is all coming back to me, bit… Read more

Alias Wayne – “Castles in the Sky” review
Final verdict: 5/10 ★★⋆˙⟡☆☆ Alias Wayne is a fun entity in the music landscape, and I cannot quite justify this stance of mine. You see, his previous single “Manifest Destiny” was just okay, and his new “Castles in the Sky” is… nothing but a bunch of the same thing. So it is a pile bargain bin… Read more

myqo – “Resist!” review
This review was paid for by novamunch. If you too want me to review your music, or any other release of your choosing, please place a commission here. Final verdict: 8/10 ★★★★☆ See, the issue with the “alternative rock” label is that everything can be termed that nowadays. Times have changed, and the alternative is now the… Read more

Bullets and Butterflies – “Not Yours To Lose” review
Final verdict: 8/10 ★★★★☆ Once upon a time, my father and I wrote a handful of songs together for fun. He is not a musician and I was a child (but not a prodigy), so naturally they were kind of shit. Anyway. Then there is Bullets and Butterflies, a band that sprouted out of the daddy/daughter… Read more

Dusty Edinger – “Jack Of All Trades” review
Final verdict: 8/10 ★★★★☆ I am going to be real with you – whenever I get Dusty Edinger in my review queue I blush a little, maybe giggle and kick my feet in the air like a teenage girl in the presence of Justin Bieber circa 2010. Mr. Edinger just hits the spot for me, reviving… Read more

Kenny Foster – “Poor Little Trillionaire” review
Final verdict: 7/10 ★★★⋆˙⟡☆ Is this in 5/4? What is this, Take Five? No, seriously – Kenny Foster’s new single “Poor Little Trillionaire” gives me the heebie-jeebies. I mean, I like it, I really do, but between the odd time signature and the off-kilter instrumentation, this might as well be math rock. Kenny’s voice comes across… Read more
