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

The Heard Eye – “Send Barron” review
Final verdict: 7/10 ★★★⋆˙⟡☆ Trump slander? Me likey. I was going to suggest leaving little Barron out of this, but then again, does it really matter? You can make fun of all the Trumps, for all I care. The Heard Eye’s new single “Send Barron” sees the band definitively return to the alternative rock of it… Read more

Across Phoenix – “We Are Echos” review
Final verdict: 8/10 ★★★★☆ Shoegaze appears to be alive and well, as is the case with trip-hop and jangle pop, and I know that because indie rock collective Across Phoenix just blessed us with a mighty slab of all these elements mixed together. Taken off their 2026 EP “Dreaming Opaline” (oh, such a dreamy title), “We… Read more

The Heard Eye – “Free Everybody” review
Final verdict: 8/10 ★★★★☆ Another day, another The Heard Eye feature. Except this tune is not new, no, not at all – “Free Everybody” is a track off the funk-rock collective’s 2023 album “Funkalypse.” That is to say, it has been out for a while now, but that is no deterrent for the purposes of this… Read more

Solid Gold – “Government Grade” review
Final verdict: 8/10 ★★★★☆ Music (and art at large) has always acted as a Trojan horse for political discourse. In 2026 more than ever before, with the United States up ablaze and the whole world down with it, politically charged art is of critical importance. That is the background against which Minnesota-based rock collective Solid Gold… Read more

Brei Carter – “Country Lives In Me” review
Final verdict: 7/10 ★★★⋆˙⟡☆ I thought I was a country girl for having grown up in the country, and I thought I was a country girl for maladaptively daydreaming about fleeing the city on a bicycle and settling somewhere in the sunny meadows of rural Greece… But alas, here we have a country girl who not… Read more
