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 […]

Charles Luck’s LP, “Ai12die,” Is a Chart Topping ATM Machine

You only get a handful of chances to cross paths with artists that have the ‘IT’ factor, and I think Charles Luck’s latest album, ‘Ai12die’, is actually it. Let me discuss the album at length and read why this is an album you don’t want to miss. ‘Beep Bop Boop’ is an upbeat song that

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.

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

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

Endless Earns Attention Through Emotional Honesty, Careful Craft, and a Willingness to Sit With Uncomfortable Feelings Until They Turn Into Something Beautiful

There is a very specific kind of artist who makes you feel like they are constantly in the middle of figuring themselves out in public, and somehow that’s the whole appeal. Not in a messy, “I uploaded my demo folder by accident” way, but in a deliberate, ongoing process of refinement. Tyson Dickert has quietly

Marzoña Proves That Being a Hopeless Romantic Is Not a Weakness; It Is a Creative Superpower

Memories you thought were safely archived in your brain’s “Do Not Reopen” folder start aggressively resurfacing. And into this seasonal emotional chaos steps Marzoña with Love Songs For Colder Weather,
