Track Review

“You Gotta Know” by Collaborations isn’t just a next step; it’s a manifesto hidden inside a mellow groove

It doesn’t just nod wistfully at the ’60s and ’70s. Rather, it drags their sun-dappled optimism, four-part harmonies, and earnest melodies into the present day and sets them […]

Ava Valianti’s “Buttercups” doesn’t beg to be heard; it simply is, fully and unapologetically

Ava Valianti’s “Buttercups” is not the kind of song you expect from a 15-year-old, mainly because we’ve been conditioned to expect teen artists to churn out overproduced, sugary nonsense about feelings they don’t really understand yet. But “Buttercups” politely declines that offer and instead chooses to emotionally level you like it’s been reading your diary.

The7thGatekeeper’s Amulet bulldozes through with zero regard for convention or convenience

At one minute and fifty-six seconds, “Amulet” doesn’t ask nicely for your attention. Rather, it just barges in like it forgot its keys, slams the door behind it, and starts yelling about regret through a broken vocoder.

Rebellion Has A New Anthem, And It’s Electric Lady’s “I’m Done (I’ve Had Enough)”

You can never go wrong with gritty, distorted guitar riffs. This song establishes a rage-like rebellion from the get-go, think Evanescence, Paramore, even the vocal flair of Chappell Roan if she went full on rock. It’s truly refreshing to see another female presence in the rock n’ roll scene. They always manage to spice up

So here comes FaceTwo, a rock duo out of Hamburg who just dropped their new single “Play With Fire,” and for this, I need you to picture a leather jacket being tossed over a shoulder in slow motion, possibly in a parking garage, while sparks erupt from the fretboard of a Stratocaster that’s somehow both
