Terror Terror’s “Made of Parts” Is the Raw, Fresh Awakening 2026 Needs

I think I’ve been saying this all throughout my reviews, but I firmly believe that everything has been done in music already. It’s just a matter of being creative and what makes you stand out. That’s what Terror Terror did on their newest EP, ‘Made of Parts.’ Join me as I discuss this EP in […]

Neon Silence EP Feels Careful. Thoughtful. Almost Shy

There is a very specific kind of music project that only exists in the modern internet era. It’s not quite bedroom pop. It’s not quite experimental electronica. It’s definitely not something a major label would know what to do with. It’s the sound of someone opening a laptop at midnight, staring into the digital void,

“Give Me. Give Me. Give Me I Want It All” Works Because It Refuses to Choose Between Being Fun and Being Meaningful

Let’s be honest up front: a song titled “Give Me. Give Me. Give Me I Want It All” sounds like it’s either going to be an aggressively shallow disco throwback or a deeply committed bit. There is no middle ground. Deptford Sound Collective, thankfully, are committed fully to the bit. What they’ve created here is

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

There is a very specific emotional phenomenon that happens when the weather gets cold. Suddenly, everyone becomes reflective. Playlists get sadder. Text messages get longer. 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,

Criminal Hero’s “You Better Believe” Works as Both an Introduction and a Statement of Intent

“You Better Believe,” the latest original single from Canadian rock project Criminal Hero, arrives with the confidence of a band that knows exactly what it wants to be and refuses to overcomplicate the process. Built on tight rhythm, muscular guitar lines, and a clear sense of melodic lift, the track feels like a reminder that

What Stands Out Most About “Help Me Find a Reason” Is How It Resists Easy Catharsis

“Help Me Find a Reason” feels like the kind of track that exists because it had to, not because it fit neatly into a release plan. It’s positioned as a pop-rock anthem, but its real center of gravity is emotional persistence. This is a song about motion more than resolution, about choosing to keep going

“Second Chance at Love” Feels Less Like a Comeback Statement and More Like a Natural Continuation

There’s a familiar kind of comeback story in music, usually framed as a dramatic return or a bold reclaiming of relevance. What makes Patti Zlaket’s “Second Chance At Love” feel refreshing is how little it leans on that narrative. The song doesn’t announce itself with urgency or spectacle. Instead, it arrives calmly, confident in the

Paul Gehl Aims for Atmosphere First, Melodrama Second on “Through the Darkness”

There’s a certain kind of rock song that really wants you to know it’s Serious. Big emotions, big shadows, meaningful pauses where you’re clearly supposed to reflect. “Through the Darkness” mostly understands that temptation and then, to its credit, doesn’t drown in it. Paul Gehl aims for atmosphere first, melodrama second, which already puts the
