True summer hasn’t started yet, and many students, high school and college, are still in school, but that hasn’t stopped Los Angeles based indie band Wallows from cooking up an album fit for the beach in Tell Me That It’s Over. Known for their infectious melodies and garage worthy guitar riffs, the trio of Braeden […]

Album Review: “Frank” by Fly Anakin

Fly Anakin is rediscovering his roots in his first full length project, Frank. Born and raised in Richmond, Virginia, Frank Walton aptly self-titles his first LP that digs into his past simply as Frank, a young, spry verse aficionado in a city and culture with little to no outlet for his creativity. Throughout this project, […]

If there is one thing to spotlight on this album it would definitely be the patterns the songs follow. For an indie rock album, it can be very easy to have songs follow the same pattern and be repetitive. For this album, they managed to keep very similar patterns in most of their songs, but […]

Album Review: “Labyrinthitis” by Destroyer

The reason I say this is because each time a new Destroyer album drops, it feels like Dan is still finding ways to push forward and […]

Album Review: “Uncanny Valley” by COIN

What does it mean to be human, and to love? That is the question posed by the Nashville based alternative trio COIN in their newest album Uncanny Valley. Asked and pondered by the thinking’s and ennui of an almost sad text-to-speech voice, the poignancy and astoundingly universal nature of this question is far from lost […]
