DYE is the fourth album from alternative group Together Pangea. This album has a softer rock sound and a bit of a classic rock sound while also sounding mainstream. The music breaks are good. They do not go on for too long and they don’t ruin the flow of the songs. The introductions are appropriate […]
Album Review: “Petunia” by Tonstartssbandt
“Petunia” is the latest album from Florida-based sibling noise rock duo, Tonstartssbandht, who have been making unique music together for over a decade.

The […]
