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

CashLyke – “Don’t Look Back” review
Final verdict: 8/10 ★★★★☆ A wild thing about the music industry is that any one guy could be producing top-shelf tunes for years, and you will in all likelihood have never even heard of him. In this day and age, much great music goes undiscovered in the vast seas of the Internet, and over the course… 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

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

Final verdict: 7/10 ★★★⋆˙⟡☆ Look, if you told me that there is a Christian rock band out there whose debut single sounds like it could’ve been the brainchild of… Read more
