It’s hard to believe that it has been 14 years since Audio Adrenaline released their hardest rock effort, Some Kind of Zombie. With all of the great music that Mark Stuart and company released over the years, Zombie seems to be a forgotten jewel. After a recent listen (actually two), I was reminded how great the album […]

We Recommend: Future Of Forestry, “Twilight”
The last couple years in the history of Future of Forestry have certainly been interesting. With the release of a magnificent trilogy of EPs found in the Travel series as well as a sequel to their finely-crafted Advent Christmas EP (not to mention Credential Recordings recently releasing a “best-of” collection of the band’s work), Eric Owyoung and […]
We Recommend: Between Thieves, “Between Thieves”
I’m going to go out on a limb here, as I usually do with these recommendations, and feature a little known project by a band called Between Thieves. I often find myself recommending music on here that would be deemed fairly old (maybe even out-dated), but I think part of the […]
We Recommend: Your Heart, “Autumn”
For a guy who puts out several EPs a month with six different projects, you might think that Andrew Huang goes for quantity over quality. However, the man is consistently solid with very few missteps along the way. One of his best pieces of work is his album Autumn from his indie/folk/pop […]
We Recommend: PFR, “Them”
I was sitting here trying to think of a project to recommend for this week, and when I opened iTunes, “Say” by PFR came on. Like a warm blanket or a steamy cup of hot cocoa on a frigid evening, the melodic vocals of Joel Hanson and the encouraging lyrics of “Let me […]
We Recommend: The Classic Crime, “The Silver Cord”
It’s very possible I’m in the minority when I say this, but when The Classic Crime released their third record Vagabonds last year, I felt the result was particularly underwhelming. It definitely wasn’t a horrific record, but I felt many of the tracks weren’t especially powerful (with a couple bordering on slightly offensive). And when compared […]
We Recommend: Fair, “Disappearing World”
As another year of music draws to a close this week, it seems appropriate to look back over 2010’s catalog of releases to highlight some of the standout albums of the year. Producer extraordinaire Aaron Sprinkle finally released his band Fair‘s sophomore album, entitled Disappearing World on Tooth & Nail Records in February. Melodlic, thoughtful, […]
We Recommend: Ayiesha Woods, “Christmas Like This”
Christmastime is here! If you’re like me, you’ve been spinning those Christmas tunes that you grew up with and even some more modern offerings that you’ve added into the rotation in recent years. Well, one worth considering is an album that flew pretty low under the radar last year. Not […]
We Recommend: Seabird, “Over the Hills and Everywhere” EP
With Christmas swiftly approaching, it’s time to start dusting off the seasonal tunes and get into the spirit of the Christmas season. But with each new year comes new recordings from artists hoping to become part of your annual Christmas music rotation. Last year, Seabird released a 2-song Christmas EP that offered […]
