    • Syd: Beard | Pitchfork
      • Read Vrinda Jagota’s review of the album.
    • ALBUM REVIEW – PROTEST THE HERO: WITHIN | Silent Radio
      • Pop punk and progressive metal should, in theory, never be mixed. Some bands form to change things though, and that is exactly the case with Protest The Hero. This Canadian band has never shone away from pushing musical boundaries, and on Within, their first fully independent release, this could not be more obvious. Most importantly, […]

    • Rick Ross: Set In Stone | Spectrum Culture | July 27, 2026, 5:04 a.m.
      • Set In Stone is an expensive-sounding album, but one that often also illustrates the difference between having money and displaying good taste or judgment.
    • Waterparks elevate their sound and style with ‘JINX’ — Album Review | // MELODIC Magazine | July 24, 2026, 10:52 p.m.
      • Recommended Tracks: “TELL ME WHY,” “GWEN STEFANI,” “ANY MINUTE NOW” Artists You Might Like: The Wrecks, Knox, Michael Clifford Three years ago, the genre-defying trio of Waterparks released their fifth studio album, INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY.

    • Album Review: The Temper Trap - Sungazer - | mxdwn Music | July 22, 2026, 3:35 p.m.
      • In the Wake of "Sweet Disposition" When The Temper Trap released Conditions in 2009, they became one of the defining sounds of indie rock's golden era. A decade after their last studio album, the Temper Trap have released their newest album Sungazer.  Rather than treating Sungazer as a grand comeback, the band
    • PROTEST THE HERO - WITHIN | NO CLEAN SINGING | July 21, 2026, 3:24 p.m.
      • (Andy Synn has been a fan of this band for a long, long time… but is he a fan of their new album?) There’s a commonly quoted, but often misinterpreted, maxim which states that as you grow older there comes a time when you must “put away childish things.” What it actually means is that [...]

    I'm a fan of Spotify for music discovery and easy access to tunes on my devices. And Spotify's API was critical to building this website. But I know that Spotify is not the best way to financially support the artists I love. So, when I find myself listening to an album repeatedly I make a point of purchasing it via Bandcamp or a local record store. And I buy tickets to see musicians live (and often purchase merch at the venue.) I hope users of this site will do the same.

    Similarly, as a longtime public media journalist, I know that it takes considerable time and energy to produce the articles linked here. Please also support those writers and journalists. Subscribe to the sites you visit the most, or leave a donation where that's an option.
