Articles Music ReviewsBrave New World’s release, “Catharsis”, is both Brave and Cathartic

February 4, 2023

**TW: Addiction – Take care while reading** Catharsis hit me like a ton of bricks. Since my first listen I have grooved along, written down great lines to remember, thought a lot, and cried a little. Before I get into the album though, I’d like to start with how I got here. Curtis, from Brave New World, hit me up to talk about his band and their upcoming release. His brother, Ryan, is another brilliant...

M.U.S.E.Find Your Muse: The Parishables – Droid

January 20, 2023

I love music that likes to be fun, and the latest single from The Parishables called “Droid” is exactly that. It really put a smile on my face. This rocker gets started from the moment it gets started with amazing guitar work. The lyric delivery is pretty good as well as the single tells of a dystopian future where machine has dominion over man. It also could be social commentary how everyone is just mindless...

Music ReviewsSlam Band and Sam New Release – Black Hole

March 2, 2021

When I think of people looking to the heavens for inspiration, it’s generally looking for a higher power’s help. But in the case of Slam Band and Sam, their new release “Black Hole” was literally inspired by NASA’s photos of a black hole taken in 2019. The song transitioned from being about a celestial object to coping with difficult times. Slam Band and Sam originated in 2018 as a five-piece band. They originally were made up...
