EP Review

The Sad Season isn’t lying when they named their EP “It’s All Too Loud in Here”. And it’s a whole experience that goes beyond mess and volume. It’s rock in its purest, deepest form, the one that’s heartfelt and brutal in one go. London-based band, The Sad Season was originally a duo consisting of Mikee […]

There’s an unspoken rule in the music industry that everyone just sort of accepts: never release live versions of songs that don’t already exist in studio form. You’re supposed to be sensible. Methodical. You record, you mix, you master; you remove all the dangerous edges before letting anyone actually hear you. CAN’T STOP TALKING clearly

There’s a particular kind of electronic music that sounds less like it was written and more like it was exorcised. Collisions by Future Magic & Robert Voxx is that kind of record; the kind that doesn’t arrive to make a scene, but to make sense of one. It’s five tracks of emotional detonation disguised as

There’s something endearingly unpretentious about RECONNECTION EP. It’s not trying to reinvent music, save the industry, or make you tweet about how “raw” it is. It’s just a person; Charlie Freeman, aka FREE/MAN, quietly figuring things out in public. After years of silence, a cancelled 26-city China tour, and a pandemic-shaped pause, Freeman’s decided to

If Still Colorful were a painting, it wouldn’t hang politely in a gallery; it’d spill off the canvas, pooling on the floor, too vibrant and too curious to stay contained. WAIN’s latest EP sounds like that: equal parts cinematic scope and bedroom intimacy, a record that glows with emotion but never overplays it. The Portland-born

Sometimes, music hits harder when it has no pretense, no disguise, bonus if it’s not afraid to fill the room with stories without uttering a single word. Ratyński’s “Surprise Stopover” does exactly that, and it’s less like an EP but more of threads weaved together with nothing but strings and silence in mind. Surprise Stopover

There’s a certain type of folk record that feels less like an album and more like someone cornered you at a bar and started telling you about their week with a battered acoustic guitar as punctuation. Dan Rose’s To The Bitter End falls squarely into that category, and I mean that in the best way

Here’s the thing about sophomore releases: most of the time, they’re either a desperate attempt to copy what worked the first time or a wild overcorrection that makes you wonder if the band resents you for liking their debut. Loser Demon’s EP2 does neither. Instead, it feels like a band realizing they can actually stretch,

In a world where lyricism and arrangement intertwine with simplicity, the universe gave us the EP Just Silence from Freiburg, Germany’s very own, Barbonus. Join me as I lay out this EP’s beauty and why it’s a gift from Barbonus to you. The synth riff throughout the first track, “Just Silence,” created this sci-fi video

The moment Sarina enters the stage, expect an extraordinary, striking performance that deserves to make headlines. And with her latest project The Fool, you’ll get a curation of tracks that is less like an EP and more of an unapologetic statement with no filter, no restraint. Tokyo alt-rock/pop-punk artist Sarina is back with The Fool,
