TRACK REVIEW: Blink-182 – Bored To Death
How much of what makes blink-182 is still there? Just like the transhumanism question, many wonder if the band can still be what many fans fell in love with after the departure of founding member Tom DeLonge and subsequent addition of Alkaline Trio’s Matt Skiba. Now that we’ve got our first taste of the new…

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.

TRACK REVIEW: Hovvdy – Problem
As I write this review, a strange occurrence has happened in Scotland and that is sunny weather. Just like any other part of the U.K., we’re as likely to get this kind of weather as we are a new Muse album that is any good. However, a gift from Texas in the form of Hovvdy are the…
