I couldn’t come up with any kind of catchy headline like I like to do because his band name is so freaking cool!  It’s says alot and then nothing;  makes you think, wonder.  You gotta listen to a band with that kind of name, they all have something to say but not all of tem [...]

I’ve never been much of a Beach House fan – their previous two albums were a little bland, slow, and predictable for my taste. However, their most recent release, Teen Dream, is one of the best albums I’ve heard in a long, long time (and I can say that confidently). Each song from the record [...]

Every month or so I’m going to try and post something that, hopefully, you have never seen or heard of before.  Whether it’s a song, person, band, soundtrack, concert, youtube clip, or anything else music related that may have slipped under your radar.  I realize that with such a diverse, musically literate audience, with eclectic [...]

Gobble Gobble are going to be something that people talk about.  They’re going to be one of those bands that you will be told you need to see.  I had the immense pleasure of stumbling upon them one night at the Lo Pub in Winnipeg, and I can easily say it was one of the [...]

With their sixth studio effort forthcoming—and a recent stop at Vancouver’s Rickshaw Theatre—I thought I’d offer as much of a preview of the album that I can, while highlighting past hidden gems (most in high contrast to their current offerings). Not only was I privileged enough to interview Andrew Seward from Against Me! and review [...]

Most all of my followers know my “Pen Review Name”, Murphy Brown, from the reviews I have done on MySpace.  To keep it from being too confusing I am going to be called that from time to time, it has become a nickname because of my shitty luck, I have a scarf with Murphy’s Law [...]

Christofer Drew of Never Shout Never gets a hell of a lot of negative criticism, and I don’t really see why. Sure I admit that the 19 year old has changed his image and his sound quite a bit in the past couple years, but what artist doesnt change with time? He started Never Shout Never by recording [...]
