ADMIRAL FOX "NOWHERE IS SAFE" REVIEW

May 08, 2020 by Andrew Perrizo in Album Review

“Nowhere is Safe,” a title that sums up the anxiety and fear most inhabitants of planet Earth are feeling right now, is a darker and grungier turn for the typically more pop-synth rock Admiral Fox. Released in April, the “Nowhere is Safe”’s five tracks seem to swell with anxiety until the penultimate song “Pictures of Drones,” then dial up the cynicism with a cathartic release on “So Proud.” Without knowing it Admiral Fox provided my pandemic experience with a perfect soundtrack.

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.
