Alexander James Godman is, hands down, one of the most eclectic songwriters I've heard in quite some time. His releases range from acoustic to electronic, pop, and loads more, depending on what he wants to create in the moment. This is one of the most appealing things about the artist and his approaches. He is always utilizing different influences to create genres that bend and sway at his will. The songs come from places that feel genuine, and you never really know what to e

A full album release from Suburban Downe delivers a flurry of honest and conscious hip-hop that comes spewing out from all directions, giving you loads of persona and character to chew on, along with plenty of inner thought that comes spilling out for all to soak in. This is a different kind of hip-hop record. It's a rap release, but it gives you layers. This is an experimental LP that blends elements of electronic, cinematic, pop, and hip-hop together to create an atmosphere

The latest drop from Exceptional Failures sends a heavy-handed message that I feel like we can all understand, as the song delves into media and a little bit of propaganda and how we all follow those headlines, not really seeing the destruction that it's caused. To me, the song speaks volumes in terms of the state of things in today's world. Too many people follow news, social media, and more, willing to take part in whatever side they feel suits them best, without hearing th

"DP River Water" is a punk rock track by the band Afterbirth Cartoons. The song reflects on the band members growing up in Des Plaines, Illinois, focusing on the local Des Plaines River flooding and the gross conditions of the water. BIO: Afterbirth Cartoons is a steady explosion of sardonic beat punk from Phoenix. ​ Alvah (guitar/vocals), Galatea Clementine (bass, vocals), and Mathaniel (drums/vocals) were 90’s kids who grew up on a steady diet of Nicktoons, Ninja Turtles, H

Ava Rivello is an artist who has been around for a few years now, and throughout that time has dropped a handful of singles that most certainly show how she pushes the expressive boundaries of what she writes and releases. Her songs fall into a bit of a heavier rock category, but there's a lot of feeling attached to the lyrics and how she performs them, along with insight into her persona along the way. She doesn't hold a lot back, and that's something that draws people into

An absolutely gorgeous new release from Slack Key ʻOhana delivers the best, breezy, freeing, colorful vibes that you could imagine, as they put out this beautifully conducted island music complete with outstanding instrumentation that really nails the aesthetic. The album is packed with warm tonality that just pulls you right in and keeps you right where it wants to. It feels good to listen to this record because it sets your mind at ease in so many different ways. It is rela

An album release from Not Allowed breeds a youthful pop-punk approach, crossed with edgy alternative undertones, and a sort of anthemic cry out from a lot of the songs, that bring up certain senses of nostalgia, mostly because the lyrics are so descriptive at times. A lot of these songs are fists-in-the-air sing-alongs, bringing out classic elements of punk and pop, crunchy guitars, heavy influences, and layers of vocals that feel sort of colorful but, again, a little alterna
