250 word album review: Allison Weiss – Remember When EP
It’s pretty damn hard to not like the Remember When EP by Allison Weiss. The pop hooks are undeniable and it has just enough grit from the garage to have an underground feel while still being a strong pop collection. The songs are … Continue reading
250 Word Album Review: Anders Parker – There’s A Bluebird In My Heart
Anders Parker flies just under the radar the way many great indie acts have to now. With a style similar to Jim James of My Morning Jacket (but not that terrible solo album James released) he could easily be exposed … Continue reading
250 Word Album Review: Ashley Raines & The New West Revue – Blush EP
Ashley Raines returns with the Blush EP that is every bit as dark and brooding as his last release, One Trick Mule. Raines summons the honest and unfiltered voice inside us all by pulling no punches and being as straight-forward … Continue reading

250 Word Album Review: Old 97’s – Most Messed Up
The Old 97’s don’t pull any tricks musically for their latest album Most Messed Up but there are quite a few shocking moments. You’ll be taken off guard by singer and main lyricist Rhett Miller’s foul language. If this were … Continue reading

250 Word Album Review: Universe Contest – We Are The Rattlesnake
Universe Contest’s second full-length album is a morphing collection of songs that refines the sound from their first record. The music is more cohesive as a whole and feels less like individual songs and more like blobs of music. The songs … Continue reading
250 Word Album Review: Buffalo Wabs & The Price Hill Hustle – Nothin’ Like a Lincoln
Guest album review by Dylan Michael Bentley The freewheelin’ Matt Wabnitz and his merry band of Hustlers take their name after the Cincinnati area from which they originated. They play Folk-Americana music, and they do it in the kind of … Continue reading
250 Word Album Review: Elder Brother – Heavy Head
Elder Brother has a strong hold on the 90s alt-rock sound and deliver it in droves on Heavy Head. That particular sound isn’t really edgy right now and is played out but it still works as a good vehicle for … Continue reading

250 Word Album Review: The Wilhelm Brothers – Lay Your Burden Down
The Wilhelm Brothers 6 song EP is dominated by a steady, acoustic old-timey sound that has really returned to popularity recently. The front porch folk heard here goes a little beyond the normal band that picks up a stand-up bass … Continue reading
