dUg Pinnick’s last solo release Strum Sum Up is a heavy, heartfelt rocking good time! I am as much a fan of Pinnick’s solo material as I am of the Kings X band efforts. In many ways they are stylistically … Continued

Pillar of Salt by Kissing Cousins

Kissing Cousins first full length Pillar Of Salt is as haunting as it is beautiful. This release is full of breath-y (is that a word?) vocals and dark, brooding, majestic music. If you have their EP’s already, you will be … Continued
