“A slightly more symphonic treatment to supplement the usual DIY-approach of fingerpicked guitar and speak-singing, where layers of synth-strings, treated electric guitar and ethereal backing vocals”
Riding the psychotic Americana rails: Dino DiMuro delivers a raw, note-chasing Beefheart resurrection on Old Fart At Play, while Beatle Bones 'n Smokin' Stones and Mirror Man dress the Captain's bones in bold new clothes. I Ya Toyah reaches through the invisible wall with the haunting, charity-driven WHITE WALLS, and Unquiet Nights conjures stirring synths and fret wizardry on Last Days of Rome. Chalice Sect closes their first chapter with pulsating EBM-charged darkwave on Finis Initii, while Avery Friedman glistens on her return single ahead of her first UK/EU tour.

“Clocking in at only 2:35, Jeremy Abrams' 'Blindside' delivers everything you’d want in a pop punk anthem—tight drums, a singalong chorus, varied arrangement, and a headbanging-worthy guitar solo.”
“Combining surging synth, haunting guitar tones and winding soundscapes influenced by more classical overtones.”
