Comments Off on MOVIE REVIEW: ‘The Witch’ flies above all the hypeREVIEW: The Starting Line – ‘Anyways’ EP
February 19th, 2016 John Bazley Artist: The Starting Line Album: Anyways EP Label: Downtown Records Genre: Pop-punk One thing I’ve always admired about The Starting Line was their willingness to evolve as musicians and make new and exciting pop-punk music, despite the majority of their MTV-emo peers sinking and flailing between member changes, awkward “mature” releases, and stagnation in the […]

February 18th, 2016 Mike Giegerich Between a scalding Spaceghostpurrp diss and a slapper of a single in “Flying Nimbus,” Denzel Curry has been in top form ahead of his most hyped release to date: Imperial. As expected, the Florida native continues the trend of anticipatory joints with a fresh offering in “Knotty Head.” Featuring production whose airy synths complement its foundation of ultra-tough percussion, Curry spits his […]
