REVIEW: Heidi Howe – ‘Be Good’
January 28th, 2014 Brian Leak Artist: Heidi Howe Album: Be Good Genre: Alt-Country, Americana “Going through the pain of the past few years and coming out the other side was and is a pretty big accomplishment to me. The album feels a little like a merit badge I got for that.” Howe’s vocals are literally the first thing you’re introduced […]

REVIEW: A Rocket to the Moon – Wild & Free
March 20th, 2013 Grace Duffy Artist: A Rocket to the Moon Album: Wild & Free Genre: Pop/rock Label: Fueled by Ramen A Rocket to the Moon would have you believe they’re a rock band going by their description of themselves, but don’t believe it for a second. This is pure, polished, technicolour pop of the highest order. Not that this […]

REVIEW: Alcoa – Bones and Marrow
February 14th, 2013 Tyler Osborne Artist: Alcoa Album: Bones and Marrow Label: Bridge 9 Defeater is a hardcore band that’s been on the rise over the past few years. With their release of Empty Days & Sleepless Nights in 2011, the band grew exponentially in their popularity. They are fast, aggressive and just an overall intense emotional experience. When I […]

REVIEW: Taylor Swift – Red
October 22nd, 2012 Grace Duffy Artist: Taylor Swift Album: Red Label: Big Machine Genre: Pop/country In an interview with Billboard magazine recently, Taylor Swift was asked to characterise her latest release, Red. She replied, “It’s all the different ways you can say goodbye to someone.” This is a fitting description for the phenomenally successful artist’s fourth album, a complex and […]

STREAM: Taylor Swift – Begin Again
September 25th, 2012 Justin Proper A second single from Taylor Swift’s highly anticipated album, Red, has surfaced online. Available for streaming after the jump, “Begin Again” finds Swift returning to her stripped down, ballad-loving roots with nothing but a guitar, light percussion, and the angelic sound of her voice. I was personally not a fan (in the slightest) of “We […]

August 31st, 2012 James Shotwell Following last night’s 30-second teaser, Taylor Swift has released her official music video for “We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together.” The song is still not winning us over, but a beautifully directed clip from Declan Whitebloom (who was also behind the camera for Taylor’s “Mean” and “Ours” videos) is more than worth your time.

REVIEW: Kip Moore – Up All Night
May 12th, 2012 James Shotwell Artist: Kip Moore Album: Up All Night Genre: Country Label: MCA Nashville Kip Moore certainly won’t be winning any awards for boldness. His achingly romanticized odes, while charming, loiter throughout this album like a clingy ex that just won’t go away. Practically every song is rooted in the same subject, so much so that after […]

REVIEW: Rascal Flatts – Changed
April 8th, 2012 James Shotwell Artist: Rascal Flatts Album: Changed Genre: Country Label: Big Machine Records I’m not exactly a country music connoisseur, even if my countrymen seem to have a twisted fascination with it (parochial Ireland is even more laughable than you think sometimes). The only artist with which I’m thoroughly familiar is Taylor Swift, but Taylor transcends a […]
