PRIME & PM'S "CREATURES FROM THE BASEMENT" REVIEW

May 01, 2020 by Paul Thorson in Album Review

The dynamic duo of the Prime & P.M. recently dropped “Creatures from the Basement,” on the first of April. If you don’t know which is which; Zaximus Prime is the mischievous, but bluntly charming emcee that acts as the narrator for this little tour of the dark and dingy basement of two hip-hop abominations. Jake P.M. the producer/DJ takes care of the soundtrack for this 8 track, 33 minute tour.

ALLERGEN "HONESTY HOUR EP" PREVIEW

April 30, 2020 by Andrew Perrizo in Album Review

Garage rock is not generally an avenue for sonic exploration. The rules of the game are simple and straightforward. 1) Be loud 2) Play fast 3) Wear your bleeding heart on your sleeve. Numerous bands dating back to the ‘60s have made their name following these three rules.

LAZENLOW "PRETTY DARK" PREMIERE

April 21, 2020 by Andrew Perrizo in Album Review

Lazenlow’s new LP “Pretty Dark” shows us a more evolved Lazenlow than their previous EP’s ‘Rich Kid$’ and ‘w/a/v/e/s’, released almost a year ago which. Lazenlow defined their style with “w/a/v/e/s”, but on “Pretty Dark” they allow themselves some tweaks on every song.

GOOD COMPANY'S 4/20 SPECIAL: MINNESOTA COLD'S "DOPESAUCE" AND MIJO'S "OMENS"

April 20, 2020 by Paul Thorson in Album Review

Now, for those of you who know me through my writing and my music might be perplexed that I’m writing about a project under my group's moniker. Minnesota Cold has evolved in the decade of its existence. A product of boredom and isolation of the stixxx in rural Minnesota, MC grew into a wide umbrella for a couple “nameless” artists.

UNCLE T "LATE BLOOMER" REVIEW

April 17, 2020 by Paul Thorson in Album Review

Like the saying says: “Better late than never.” That saying is fitting for the late-in-life emcee Uncle-T. Hip-Hop gave Uncle T a second shot at success and notoriety in the fleeting moments of youth.
