Artist Interview: The Young Vanish
It’s not every day we get a chance to hear genuine talent. Oftentimes music is full of co-opted mimicry. We don’t make it any better by saying artists sound like this one or that one. What makes true musical greatness, as we’ve learned …
YouTube Gem: Nizlopi – Start Beginning

FREE Download: Kelley McRae – Brighter Than The Blues
Hey everyone, a little while ago we featured a review of Kelley McRae’s newest album, “Brighter Than The Blues”. Cliffnotes version: it’s deep, it’s thoughtful, it’s beautiful. Kelley is graciously in the process of recording an interview for us, but we have GREAT …
YouTube Gem: Brandi Carlisle “Keep Your Heart Young”
This is my first public apology. I owe it to Brandi Carlisle and Columbia Records. As it turns out they sent us Brandi’s newest album to review a while back and I haven’t reviewed it yet. As a result, we’re featuring this cute …
