The Tea Club sounds like a perfectly innocent and unassuming name but do not let the serene CD cover and band name fool you. As you will learn when you open up the General Winter’s Secret Museum CD the sleeve enclosed and the artwork does get a bit more interesting and the lyrics are included [...]

Amelia the band, not the girl, has been making a name for themselves in the Pacific Northwest and seem positioned perfectly with their new release A Long, Lovely List of Repairs to solidify their foundation and expand upon it. In spite of the confusion that the name of the band creates, they decided that they [...]

Kathy Taler released her first full-length album Not Guilty on Two Jack Records recently. Taler looks just the opposite of the title on the cover of this CD, looking every bit the mischievous rascal that shows up in the ten tracks on this CD.
The Parental Advisory Warning is for one thing, she uses the F [...]

David Grissom has been around the musical block a few times and his new solo album Loud Music is an achievement that helps you to understand why experience in any industry has no price tag. David has recorded with the Allman Brothers, Robben Ford, John Mayall, Ringo Starr…the list is long and impressive. This artist [...]

Lullwater is made up of John Strickland (lead vocals, guitars, bass) and Brett Strickland (vocals, lead guitar), who is no relation to John, with Nick Thomas (drums, percussion), Phil Brush (bass) and Will Manelos (guitar and no longer with the band) filling the other positions in the band with great success. Their name was derived [...]

My first impression of Mike Zito was one of complete satisfaction and joy internalized after listening to every track on his new release Today. Those feelings were only amplified with each subsequent listen. His album is a gritty down to earth performance with razor sharp guitar lines and vocals that not only come from the [...]

KingBathmat is not a hard name to remember. I have this ability to remember every artist I have ever heard and did a review on but cannot remember a thought that crossed my mind 5 minutes ago.
I covered Fantastic Freak Show Carnival three years ago this month. I found that album to be a progressive [...]

With a similar sound of Dave Matthews Band and the Barenaked Ladies, 16 Beers to Bedtime is an album of laid-back acoustic songs that are easy- to- listen- to whether it be at a bar or driving along in your car. Bobby Vincent came onto the rock scene in 2005 with the release of his [...]

Will is Will Miller, a song crafter, vocalist, an artist firmly entrenched in the genre of R & B and Pop music. On Be Here For You, his second solo album, he shows why he is a rapidly rising star in the world of indies.
This type of music is not high on my list for [...]

VertigoNation is supercharged music fueled by pulsating beats, hard driving keyboards and a female lead vocalist that has a refined English accent that reminded me of The Human League (”Don’t You Want Me Baby”) in their glory days in so many ways.
The music itself was reminiscent of the early 80’s when all the synth [...]
