The Choir – Shadow Weaver
For me as a fan, The Choir has really hit a great stride starting at O How The Mighty Have Fallen and continuing on over the next few albums and on to this recent release. I’m a bigger fan than ever … Continued
Spy Satellite – The Time of the Dinosaurs
Seems like the best of the 80s and 90s alternative music scenes have been making a comeback recently. But not in a cheesy, nostalgic way. Spy Satellite is a prime example of this. Josh Lory and I were discussing how … Continued
The Beckoning – Desolate
The Beckoning return with a two song demo that is longer than some eps. While there are only two songs here, both clock in at over nine minutes. They also change tempos and signatures frequently, so don’t expect to be … Continued

ShiSho – The Sisters EP
ShiSho is a band that was a casualty of the death of MySpace (for my music collection, that is). I first tuned into their cool, crazy music when they covered Michael Knott’s “Daddy’s Whomp.” Then I lost track because I … Continued
Deni Gauthier – Quiet Town
Alright, stick with me here. I don’t want to scare people off, because this is a different album for Deni. But trust me, the difference is good. Quiet Town is more textured, deeper, richer, and more of a grower than … Continued
