REVIEW: Ain't It Nice—Mal Blum 4/15/22
Album: Ain’t It Nice Artist: Mal Blum Genre: #Alternate #Indie #Country Sub-Genres: #AntiFolk #Rock #FolkPunk #Americana Label: Terrorbird Ain’t It Nice is Blum’s blend of indie and Americana, taking on this air of instant nostalgia and warmth. I love how I could naturally feel any song on this album playing distantly in the background of a radio. This album in particular stands out, as knowing Blum’s voice has dropped lower since his last release, gives such a tender quality

Florence + The Machine is King - F+TM Single Review
Single: King Artist: Florence + The Machine Genre: #alternative #indie #pop Sub-Genres: #indiepop #rock Label: Universal Music Operations Limited Description: King by Florence + The Machine is a strong 4-minute, 40-second powerfully delivered declaration of gender expression and concerns the far too familiar discussion of career and family.

'Nothing but Ringo' - Helvetia
Album: Nothing but Ringo Artist: Helvetia Genre: #alt #indie #rock Sub-Genres: #artrock #indierock #experimental Label: Jason Albertini Description: Formed in 2005, the group Helvetia is quite recognizably the product of Jason Albertini leaving similar slowcore band Duster. This EP was recorded on an iPhone and then recorded onto cassette, leaving a submerged and foggy DIY-esque audio experience that is honestly fitting for the experimental genre. This collection of tracks ve

Trouble's are a Coming with the Rolling Stones
Album: Troubles A' Comin Artist: The Rolling Stones Genre: #rock #hardrock #alt Subgenres: #vintage Label: Promotone BV Non-Airable Tracks: N/A The Rolling Stones are THE quintessential rock band.

'Troubles A' Comin' brings back all that good hard rock feeling from the 60's and 70's. It's not a new track, but rather a previously unreleased track from the 1981 a

"The Battle at Garden's Gate" by Greta Van Fleet
Album: The Battle at Garden's Gate Artist: Greta Van Fleet Genre: #rock #hardrock Sub-Genres: #grunge #psych Label: Republic Records Description: I have been a fan of Greta Van Fleet for a while now. The first single they released from this album is my second favorite song, "Heat Above". The entire album conveys an other worldly feeling. Especially in "Heat Above" I hear strong resemblance to Pink Floyd. While I have always love Greta Van Fleet, they always seem to out do t

Emerging local Tucson band, Miramont!
Single: Chock Artist: Miramont Genre: #alt #rock Sub-Genres: #psych Description: Upon my first listen, this song really grabbed my attention. The song begins with the drums and then enters the guitar, then really strong vocals. Toward the middle, there is a sick guitar riff that evokes psychedelic rock vibes. Their catchy lyrics make this a great listen and extremely relatable. The vocals are very strong and mesh extremely well with the melody. Their music reminds me of old

Floodlights – Backyard
Album: Backyard Artist: Floodlights Genre: #Indie #Rock Sub-Genres: N/A Label: N/A (Bandcamp) Non-Airable Tracks: N/A Description: Let’s preface this by saying I am not a huge fan of Indie Rock. Sure, I’ve listened to Arcade Fire, and a bit of Mogwai, and I know my Modest Mouse (early albums at least) and my Pixies and et. al., but all the same, I am not a purveyor of the genre by any means. So to do my review on an album that has received as little coverage as this one has i

Tacocat Rocks 191 Toole, 1/24/2020
As a Seattle-area native, a feminist, and an a pop-punk fan, its no surprise that Tacocat is one of my favorite bands. Formed in Seattle in 2007 of singer Emily Nokes, guitarist Eric Randall, drummer Lelah Maupin, and bassist Bree McKenna, Tacocat is an indie pop-punk quartet known for their vibrant aesthetic and bubbly, humorous, feminism-infused songwriting. I unfortunately never got to see Tacocat live when I lived in Seattle, so when I discovered they were touring to Tucs
