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

Nostalgia for the flawed
Prologue It is no secret that I love myself some ukulele. My recent rise to fame in my local Thessaloniki has ensured that all the people know that I play ukulele, and that I am decently good at it, too. But my relationship with the instrument has tossed and turned plenty since my fingers first… 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

Ja Fearce – “OO’ Shawty” review
Final verdict: 8/10 ★★★★☆ Rapper Ja Fearce recently released his debut EP “Shawty” following a string of singles, and the release’s closer is our main concern today. The bouncy “OO’ Shawty” is a blast from the past and a breath of fresh air at the same time, a catchy tune that is not reluctant to let… 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

Howdy all! My new music video for “The Day (Joy Came Knockin’ On My Door)” off Strawberry Skies is out now! Give it a watch, won’t you? This music video is more or less a montage of behind-the-scenes footage from the album photoshoot, but it is cute, isn’t it? ⸜(｡˃ ᵕ ˂ )⸝♡ Read more

The Destination #1 – Pilot
Everything’s useless, especially songs. December 31st, 1999, 7.52 AM I find myself feeling all booted up. I find myself feeling optimistic about the future for once in this stupid life of mine – new day, new month, new year, new decade, new century, new millennium! All this is about as convincing as a meteor. And… Read more
