Finally Dante delivers. If you are a fan of Black Star or Mos’s first album, “Black on Both Sides”, then you owe it to yourself to give this a listen. “The New Danger” and “True Magic” just didn’t do it for me. Sorry Mos. The Ecstatic on the other hand is great. The beats are [...]

The Middle East – The Middle East EP Album Review

Since this band isn’t from the States, I suppose I can’t classify them as Americana. How about Australiana? Yup, hailing from Australia this six piece offers up five fantastic songs on this EP release. What’s more, for a limited time, you can pick up the EP as MP3 from their website for a mere $1.00. [...]
The xx – xx Album Review

I have to admit, I slept on this for a while. For some reason, I had already made up mind (inexplicably) that I wouldn’t like this album. Don’t know why. I am just crazy that way sometimes. I am glad I changed my tune and listened to this album. P.O.S. Never Better – and there [...]

I stumbled onto Miss Banks while reading The Fader the other day. She’s a new rapper on the scene out of NYC. Her full name is Azealia Banks and she spits clever and profane rhymes over fun, infectious beats. Just the thing to put a kick in your step, and brighten up a grey, winters [...]
