EP and Single Reviews

'Do You Believe' emanates a noir energy, as if swathed in uncertainty bordering on disbelief.

Ugly Boys have it going on. Gorgeous vocal harmonies and a captivating melody make 'Old News' a definite winner.

I really like 'Preaching to the Choir.' It is mainstream pop in flavor and color, but different and refreshing.

I like this song a lot. Nick Lamb knows how to bring the heat.

The shifting tones and altering beats make this EP intriguing. So it’s worth checking out to see if it appeals to your inner tempo.

'The One I Feed' presents the sonic reverence usually associated with Gregorian chants. Its harmonic attributes are relevant and emotionally inspiring.

'First World Problems' is mediocre at best, coming across like an amateur garage band trying to sound cool. I’m sure Sam Levin has oodles of talent. He just needs to find the musical vehicle to express it.

'Robots, Rockets & Rampage' is taut, powerful metal, full of tone of sepulchral gravity and superior harmonic concatenations. It exudes raw, palpable, prodigious energy and monumental rhythmic punch. War Gods of the Deep knows how to turn up the heat.

'Don’t Speak' is gorgeous. The escalation of the harmonic progression synthesized with Arvesten’s rich, diaphanous voice coruscates with brilliant energy. Helga Arvesten is an artist to keep your eye on. There’s an indefinable flair to her music that’s captivating.

'Last of the West Side Cowboys' is simply marvelous. The melody rumbles and rolls along with egregious dynamism, while the rhythm vibrates with a pulsing irresistible pattern. Goddess’ grating voice magnifies the music's electrical sparkle. All these elements combined make it a winner.
