SINGLE REVIEW: Say Anything – “Six Six Six”
April 25th, 2014 John Bazley Artist: Say AnythingSingle: “Six Six Six”Album: HebrewsLabel: Equal Vision Records Being a Say Anything fan isn’t always easy. Max Bemis is possibly the most volatile songwriter in the scene — changing his style drastically between releases to fit whatever new concept he’s come up with.

Big Homie: Puff Daddy’s Comeback Single Is A Beast
March 27th, 2014 James Shotwell Growing up in the 1990s, I can recall several years where no one in hip-hop could touch the Bad Boy Records empire.

SINGLE REVIEW: Nothing – “Bent Nail”
January 24th, 2014 Drew Caruso Artist: Nothing Song: “Bent Nail” Album: Guilty of Everything Label: Relapse I really enjoy shoegaze, but for some reason, Nothing wasn’t on my radar.
