It was created, according to Greenhalgh, through “a series of live recorded percussion loops, a drum machine setting from my toy Casio keyboard, flute, uke, and bass.” The single is brought to us […]

[MP3] Sharpless: “Greater Than”

Why is it so much harder these days to find legitimately bouncy pop rock that we don’t have to get all depressed / mellowed out by? I mean, don’t get me wrong, mellow is my THING, but it gets old. I’ve said it a few times here before, but we all need some […]

Appetite

Am I allowed to be late on bands in today’s cutthroatingly competitive society? Music is good until it’s not, and being out there for a little while does not make music not good. Dig? PROFOUND. (I’m really admitting an inferiority complex here.)

In my quest to make this the worst-written post ever on […]

[MP3] Milly Beau: “Taylor”

My Milly Beau friends are fast gaining momentum and ready for the big time. Since I last updated you, the group has had a major makeover. While shoring up the band members, they added a pianist with a smoothy smooth voice who could probably go solo himself. Count that as a plus. They also […]
