Blood makes noise

A Wilhelm Scream have returned with, yet another, delightful single and video from their highly anticipated album "Lose Your Delusion" entitled "Figure Eights in My Head." On a personal note, growing up with AWS as part of the soundtrack to…

I don’t usually read press releases and just jump right into releases with no prejudices but knowing that the songwriter/producer Matt Jatkola wrote this album while going through the fight of his life with…

Musically this sometimes reminds me of Eels because of the chord progressions and the great low tones that carry this tune. Lyrically and cadence wise this is more in line with Pharell meets Bill Withers. The lyrics are uplifting and…

It’s clear to hear the influence of 90’s alternative on songwriter Ryan Levasseur who fronts the new Trash Casual / Mint 400 band New Norde. Not new at all to music, Levasseur fronted the very popular New Hampshire band The…

In a pro career spanning 35 years and five countries, Cincinnati-born jazz guitarist Greg Chako has released ten albums and been the subject of a documentary called, “An American Cat in the Lion City.” His most prolific period to-date as…

This track screams early 90’s vibe and that’s a good thing. In my head this is a video I’d see on 120 minutes somewhere around 1996 and it’s a group that features members of Weezer, Failure and Fountains Of Wayne…

Immediately the band hits you in the face with a Cure meets The Smiths riff but as the vocals pop in it’s more clear that this is very brit rock inspired. It feels like something like Ivy, The Sundays, and…

Tell us about the new release “The Blood of One” – what was the inspiration behind this release? 

Steele: This new release was supposed to be side 4 of our STILL upcoming live album. We recorded one of our last…
