ALBUM REVIEW: HOVVDY – Taster
Blame my appreciation of anything the slightest bit moody or my unfiltered love of music that resembles American Football’s atmospheric debut but HOVVDY are without a doubt the best act to have came out in 2016 so far. While they’ve been creating tracks for two years now, the release of Taster, their debut album, the…

TRACK REVIEW: Pema – My Intentions Are Good
“Am I doing this right?” questions pop newcomer Pema, real name Alex Cohen, over a simple trumpet accompanied beat and, truth be told, she is.

TRACK REVIEW: Pretty Citizens – Lost Control
Pretty Citizens are a pretty solid jack of all trades kind of band, especially upon the first listening of their latest single Lost Control, set to release on April 22nd.

Aziz Ansari and Eric Wareheim Just Made The Best Kanye Music Video Yet
Comedians and Kanye West seem to go hand in hand. First Zach Galifianakis, that bearded fella from The Hangover, created an alternative video for Can’t Tell Me Nothing off his third LP Graduation before James Franco and Seth Rogen’s popular spoof of Bound 2 came around. Now we’ve got Park and Rec funnyman Aziz Ansari teaming up…

ALBUM REVIEW: Deftones – Gore
Gore is certainly a hostile LP though it is one that finds brief moments of tranquility, making sure that listeners don’t become desensitised to the band’s heavy hitting music and lyrics. As frontman Chino Moreno put it, it’s not a happy record but it’s not a completely angry record either. Saying that a metal record sounds…
