In the initial moments of Cheryl B. Engelhardt’s “Circlet of Pisces,” there is neither shape nor sonic continuity for us to cling to, but the fragmented melodic ribbonry is still striking enough to draw us near. There’s nothing to come between the raw emotional matter forming an aural tapestry and the audience for whom it […]
There were a few moments in 2020 that left fans wondering whether music was ever going to be the same after COVID, but while a lot of other scenes were stagnating under the weight of the pandemic, Miami’s music culture seemed to simmer and boil over in a way hardly typical of such an off-year […]
Pistols At Dawn is a 5 piece, Modern Hard Rock band out of Georgia. The same city that gave us Sevendust, and Mastodon, might just be about to give Rock, it’s next great thing. While Atlanta is often known for its Hip Hop scene, it apparently has an active and thriving Rock scene as well. […]

This type of duality isn’t typical of the mainstream pop […]

He depicts everyday lives with pleasing economy during songs such as “I Work”. Light percussion, flute, and acoustic guitar lead the musical way but Green sprinkles other colors into the mix. […]
As much a love letter to fans of crossover electronica, oversized pop hooks and alternative rock reimagining, The Private Language’s version of the Tears for Fears staple “Everybody Wants to Rule the World” is as provocative as you would anticipate it being, and all for one main reason – it doesn’t fill in the lines […]
