Album Review: “Feels So Good//Feels So Bad” by The Shivas

 This album is reminiscent of 60s and 70s rock. There is this classic echo like sound that really wraps the listener back in time. This album is wonderful for people who love classic rock.  The vocals are a bit softer across the entirety of the album which compliments the slightly heaver instrumentals. This makes for […]

This is the second album by Montreal singer Ada Lea (stage name for Alexandra Levy) brings out so many emotions in the most absolutely beautiful way.

Album Review: “Joshua” by “French 79”

Prior to listening to this album, the first thing I noticed was the artwork. It is simple and adds a three-dimensional feel to the cover. The cover is great in that it “fits” with the music on the album but does not steal the spotlight from it, the music gets to stand out and speaks […]

Album Review: Civilisation II by Kero Kero Bonito

While this album, technically listed as a single, is the shortest one I’ve reviewed so far – only 3 songs – pop band Kero Kero Bonito pack so much into these three songs. With poppy synths that sound like they belong in a video game, effected vocals, and airy drums, this album is infused with […]
