Album Review: “Pray 4 Tomorrow” by Dumb
When I first heard this album, I was immediately transported to some small room in a house with a stage, listening to one of the bands opening for a friend. This album feels so purely garage-rock that anybody who’s been to a house show or has friends in music, will immediately recognize the sound. They’re […]
Album Review: “The Organic Band” by Babe Rainbow
This year, Babe Rainbow released their fifth studio album, The Organic Band. This album is full of all the classic elements of a psychedelic jazz album and blends funky guitar grooves with ethereal vocals, a common practice in their music.

Album Review: “Myself in the Way” by Turnover
The fifth studio album by the four-piece rock group “Turnover” introduces new sounds to the band and shows off their evolution throughout the years. This album is much more synth-heavy than previous albums like “Peripheral Vision” which relies more heavily on a garage-rock, borderline punk sound. Songs like “Ain’t Love Heavy” on this album employ […]

Album Review: “Hiding in Plain Sight” by Drugdealer
In Drugdealers newest album Hiding in Plain Sight, Michael Collins pushes the boundaries between psychedelic rock, RnB, and folk- while incorporating a heavy 1970s funk sound. This album has a certain warmth to it yet is still upbeat and groovy, making it a perfect late-night listen. Collins gained fame in his career as the frontman […]
