Track Review

When music is born out of something deeply personal, it feels like an invitation to watch someone’s ribcage being cut open — vulnerable, beating, and bleeding all at once. That’s how William Locks’ “If I could say” feels like, and it will surely leave a mark. William Locks, also known as songwriter Willem van der […]

There’s a certain kind of bravery in writing a song like “Fly Away” It’s not the loud, triumphant kind you see in movie montages; it’s quieter, lonelier, and far more honest. This is a song about grief, but more than that, it’s about surviving it. Shy-Anne Hovorka, an award-winning songwriter and educator from northern Ontario,

There’s nothing like a song that cuts you open then heals and stitches you back together, the kind where tension and resilience coexist in the same rhythm and note. For today’s rare cuts, Pentrilox steps in with Wasteland Whispers, a cathartic single to confront your demons and emerge with a strength that is earned and

At this point, it’s hard to tell whether Robert Allen, a.k.a. DownTown Mystic, is making rock music or conducting a long-running experiment to prove that sincerity never actually went out of style. His new track, “Somebody’s Always Doin’ Something 2 Somebody,” feels like the sound of someone who still believes guitars can tell the truth,

“Don’t Fall” is the sound of a band refusing to rush what actually matters. For a trio that only meets once or twice a month in Chesham, Loudness Wars sound like they’ve been trapped in a rehearsal room for decades, slowly distilling every idea until it becomes something sharp enough to leave a mark.

HorthWorld’s latest single, “Fumes,” is that kind of track; a rush of adrenaline disguised as a love song, built for the moments when affection and exhaustion start to blur

There’s something so symbolic and moving when artists explore themes of existence and humanity, creating a space between collective struggle, triumphs, and endurance. And that’s the exact feeling you’ll get from Trueclaw’s latest release “The Ones Remembered”. Hailing from Uppsala, Sweden, Trueclaw is back with another compelling track as a rising force in the music

There’s something beautifully unhinged about Thain’s “Still Sick.” It’s the kind of track that sounds like it was written in a fever dream and recorded before the adrenaline had time to fade. From the first few seconds of hard-hitting and yet simple percussion right until a razor-sharp guitar riff tears through the mix; the kind

You know the kind of music that immediately dominates the room once it plays? That’s SHY.COMFY.DENSE.’s “Ruckus”. Once the beat drops, you’ll get something that isn’t loud yet enough to make a lasting impact. While others tend to overexpose themselves on screen, Italy-based SHY.COMFY.DENSE. stays lowkey by keeping his identity hidden. And no, it’s not

Rock music so good it starts to alter the chemistry of your brain? That’s the exact energy Rooftop Screamers’ latest single “Forsaken” brings to the function, and it’s the soundtrack of collapse and the inevitable. Rooftop Screamers is thriving through the hands of Kevin Hahn for guitars, Don Schwarz for bass, and Mike Collins for
