Survival Is Less About Grand Resurrection and More About Quiet Persistence

There’s something deeply dramatic about two former post-punk musicians from Glasgow reconnecting after decades apart and deciding, instead of quietly reminiscing about “the old days,” to make an album about surviving modern existence. It’s either the beginning of a midlife crisis or the start of something genuinely moving and on Survival, the debut album from […]

“Everyday” Doesn’t Glamorize or Exaggerate; It Observes

“Everyday” finds Larry Mossburg turning the mundane into something magnetic. Framed as a snapshot of daily life, the track doesn’t aim for grand statements or dramatic arcs. Instead, it zooms in on routine; habits, thoughts, small victories and refracts them through sharp lyricism and a beat that hits harder than the subject matter might suggest.

If Auntie EP Is the Drought Breaking, It’s Not a Drizzle; If Anything, It’s a Storm

There’s a very specific kind of emotional pressure that builds when you’ve been “almost” doing the thing for years. Almost putting your own band first. Almost saying what you actually mean. Almost stepping out from behind other projects, other stages, other people’s spotlights. Eventually that pressure needs somewhere to go. That somewhere, in this case,

TRXPSCO Is a Project Born Out of Frustration, Stubbornness, and a Crash Course in DIY Beat-Making

There’s something uniquely modern about getting your music pulled from streaming because of a producer dispute and responding not with a vague Instagram Story but with, essentially, “Fine. I’ll do it myself.” That’s the energy powering the self-titled EP from TRXPSCO, a project born out of frustration, stubbornness and a crash course in DIY beat-making.

Michelle Lynne’s “One Step at a Time” Is a Shining Beacon

I’m just going to straight out say it. Classical music is not my jam. I’m not that immersed in the culture, thus giving myself the nickname of the “alternative guy,” but Michelle Lynne’s album, ‘One Step at A Time’, proved otherwise. Let me discuss this in depth and read why Michelle Lynne will be a

Trainwreck Boyfriend Proves They’ve Already Begun Charting Their Own Map

Trainwreck Boyfriend began the way many modern indie bands do: not through a classified ad or a carefully plotted industry plan, but through a moment of shared recognition in a crowded room. The members first connected at two 2023 shows by The Beths, bonding over their mutual devotion to female-fronted indie rock that balances vulnerability

Suicidal Strain Stands Out for Its Refusal to Dilute Itself

There’s something quietly defiant about Suicidal Strain before you even press play. In an era where most records are engineered for playlists and algorithmic survival, Add Zedd positions this as a full-length album in the old sense of the word: a complete emotional arc meant to be absorbed, not skimmed. It is not built for
