Local Review: Mideau – Way With Words EP
If you’ve been paying any bit of attention to the local indie scene this past year, you’ve already discovered the treasured musical delight that is Mideau. … read more
Local Review: m.duby – Bird In The Cage
m.duby is back at it on the local hip-hop scene, Bird In The Cage being his second release. It takes a more relaxed, adult direction than his first, Tha Come UP, with less emphasis on parties and heartbreak and more on becoming a better person and pushing forward. … read more

Local Review: Exoboy – Badly Coded Boy
Experimental is the first word that came to my mind when I listened to this. It sounded like something made purely on Ableton with scattered samples and perhaps a small MIDI controller. … read more
Local Review: Drunk As Shit – Drunk Punk Thrash
Let me assure you, readers, that this album holds true to its title—punk rock, thrashin’ and drinkin’, nothing more, nothing less … and I fucking love it!
