And now for something completely different… This is an experimental, avant-guard, garage rock, random noise, way out in left field release that is a bit beyond description in some ways. I enjoy music like this, but I am just not sure how to describe it to you well enough to get you to go to…
This is the new self-titled album from the self-described “Internet recording collection” from all over the place called Orbis Max. If the vocals and song writing sounds familiar, that is because this collective is led by DTL Collective member Dw Dunphy. So there should be something familiar about the music here for our readers. But…
I was pretty surprised to hear that Love Coma was making a new album a few years ago. I loved their other two albums, so I was afraid that their new album might not measure up in my nostalgic mind. But wow is this album great. It feels like the opening track is an intentional…
After waiting for about 9 years, we finally have a new Jeff Elbel + PING release. And my, my was it worth the wait. While Elbel and company tend to run in the alternative rock circles, there is a certain quality to their music that also transcends that label. Plus add in a quirky sense…

So when a release gets sold as “alt country musician goes heavy metal”… well, you have to admit that sounds a bit suspicious. Daniel Markham is a name I have heard, but never really listened to as I don’t get into a whole lot of the alt country scene. But when Velvet Blue Music helps…
Deni Gauthier is a longtime friend of Down the Line, and the fact that he released a new album should be enough to get you to go out and buy it. Well, unless you are in Coronavirus lock-down, then you should be going online to buy it ASAP. Gauthier’s work has always been lush, complex,…
So many times I tell myself that I need to probably be done with punk rock, because I am getting up in age and I don’t deal with teenager issues or youthful angst anymore. But then bands like the Huntingtons come along and remind me that punk rock is so much more than the small…
One day I suddenly wondered why I had not heard any new releases from Kissing Cousins in a while. I looked around and found out that sadly, they had broken up. However, Heather Heywood and Amanda Siara from Kissing Cousins did form a new band, and this ep is their first output. Described as “heavier…
