Review: Keep Quiet

There are albums each year that come out of nowhere and make you realize how good music can be. Those albums are the ones that we’ll look back at years later saying “Remember when _____ released ________?” The new album from SONS is the first release of 2012 that has that power. Keep Quiet is [...]

Review: Pioneer

With no previous exposure to Pioneer, a five-piece band from Indianapolis, Indiana (previously known as News from Verona), I had no predisposal as to what their latest self-titled album would hold. In fact, I had no expectations good or bad whatsoever. By two tracks into this album, I was drawn in to the unpretentious and [...]

Review: Wed White and Wu

Let me start by saying that I am going to try to my best to keep the Wu-Tang references to a minimum. Wait, no I’m not. As a self-professed Wu-Tang Nerd I’ve been waiting for an opportunity to analyze anything Wu related and this is my chance. Finally. So quick background, when I was a [...]

Review: Economy

Those familiar with singer/songwriter John Mark McMillan more than likely know one thing very well about his musical style- it is completely his own and unmistakable. From his first album release in 2002 till the present, John Mark has produced albums with uncomplicated but earthy folk-rock sound, organically descriptive lyrics, and resonate atmosphere. John Mark’s [...]

Review: Dark Words on Dark Wings

I’ve got to confess, this is my first time listening to the band Quiet Science. Before the release of Dark Words on Dark Wings, this band wasn’t on my radar. While it’s easy to start a review by saying “I’ve been a fan since…”, I think it’s more of a testament to their music that [...]

Review: Holding onto Hope

In today’s musical scene we are blessed with a variety of musical genres. With this variety however, comes a price… it is easy for any band to get lost in the mix, especially a newcomer among more established bands within a genre. Therefore, we as the listeners are propelled to ask ourselves what makes a [...]

The Ember Days are an incredible ambient worship group from New Zealand. The band has a desire to make worship music that is accessible to all people. Since 2006, this band has toured America, New Zealand and played multiple music festivals each year. Their previous album, Finger Painting EP, was amazing and gave listeners a [...]

Review: Come and Drink

For me personally when I hear the letters EP I think of a music project that is done with a low quality and doesn’t have much depth to it. Obviously this isn’t true of every EP but I can say that it is true with enough to back the idea. However, I bring good news! [...]

Review: Broken Voice

Broken Voice is the follow up EP to My Epic’s fantastic 2010 release Yet. As the band started unveiling tracks a couple weeks before this albums release, it was clear that they were bringing a different feel to this project. In the end, do these changes make it a must buy or an EP that [...]

Review: Hotdoggin

Everybody has their “first listening” habits. That routine they go through after buying a new mp3 album from iTunes, the Amazon Music Store or a CD at Walmart (if people still buy CD’s anymore). Mine is simple, I do an initial listening session which is just a song by song skim through. After that I [...]
