ArticlesNew Year’s Eve (Eve, Eve) Party with Dream the Heavy, No Sleep for Zombies and 3 Leagues to Rome

January 2, 2023

While I am not generally a fan of going out on New Year’s Eve – New Year’s Eve, Eve, Eve? That’s my kind of party! I met the funky fellows from Dream the Heavy on our podcast, Bands and Artists we like and Support that Aren’t as good as GHU. If you’re unfamiliar with the podcast and/or God Hates Unicorns, the name may sound off-putting. This is intentional, as we are a bunch of huge...

ArticlesSilicon Kong Gets Out of this World with The Glam-Tastic Escape!

December 9, 2022

I had the pleasure of meeting Ian Hemi, AKA Silicon Kong, at a red-carpet movie premier for the Panic Terror Films / DowncastSpark short film, Hidden Behind the Veil. Now one thing I want to clarify up top – I’m not referring to Ian as one of those “licky” dog toys that they get peanut butter out of (unless that’s something he’s into, you’d have to ask his wife on that). Silicon Kong (Ian Hemi) is...

Articles Music ReviewsThe Mind of Memory Front

October 20, 2022

I happened upon the band Memory Front while hitting up a show at Club Cafe for band buddies Some Faith and Hemlock for Socrates. It was a great surprise to see that the head of this band was a dear friend from my past, and not a surprise at all to see that he brought a presence to the stage that commanded attention. The name is catchy and quite relevant. The Memory Front mastermind, Jesse, is a...

Articles Music ReviewsBlack Ridge Electrifies Listeners With Their New EP, Raw Power

September 20, 2022

What can I write to paint an accurate picture of the band Black Ridge? Can I tell you what they sound like? What style of music they play? What their performance can be compared to? No. I really can’t. They sound like Black Ridge. They play their own style of music. Their performance is like nothing I’ve ever seen before. What I can tell you, is that no matter who you are or what you’re...

Blood of the Beloved has released its latest brain-shocking, grunge track featuring The Death of Zenith on April 29. “Haunted” is another addition to the various genres that the group has explored through its singles and band features in other works.

As I pull out of my driveway on a sunny June afternoon in my black and gold 1985 Camaro IROC-Z, T-top open, cruising down to the high school to grab my buddies for another Friday night back road party, case of Pabst Blue Ribbon on the passenger seat, and a pack of Marlboros in my t-shirt pocket, I grab my cassettes and pull out my favorite; Corners of Sanctuary: Heroes Never Die. Coming in with...

Music ReviewsArlo McKinley Strikes Gold On “Die Midwestern”

September 7, 2020

Country music is just about every music fan’s favorite genre to dismiss and mock. If one listens to the modern country radio, they can easily understand the hatred and most likely join in on it. One of the oldest genres in modern music has fallen far from its roots and is barely recognizable in its modern incarnation. If you dig long enough you will find that there are still modern country artists that sound closer...
