Album Review: Dive Index – The Surface We Divide
The latest release from collaborative project Dive Index, “The Surface We Divide”, comes with some familiar voices and some new, but the overall sound of the album extends naturally from 2008′s critically acclaimed debut, “Mid/Air”. Technically falling within the category of ambient electronic/downtempo, Dive Index pushes the genre’s boundaries with a level of sonic ornamentation, [...]

Album Review: Crunk Witch – The Legends Of Manicorn
We had talked about Crunk Witch , a husband/wife Electro-Rock act comprised of Brandon Miles and Hannah Colleen a year ago when they sent us their debut EP, The Battle Beyond. We were really digging the heavy, screamo, electro-rock vibe they were giving off. Now, With some touring behind their back, it has come time [...]
Catchup Wednesday – Atlantic Line
Upon first listening to Atlantic Line, it’s hard to believe they are based on our side of the Atlantic – everything from lead singer Ray Silva’s voice to the execution of the melodies would have you think they were a British rock band. That said, their album Exit to Intro is superb – and available [...]

There is nothing better than putting on a brand new album of a band you have never heard before and realizing how good they are and more so, how much potential they have. That was the feeling I got when I first put on Quilty. Quilty is a Brooklyn based indie-rock band that I can’t [...]

There is nothing wrong with some awesome pop-rock music. It makes you feel good, gets you energized, and can be played many times without getting boring.
