SISTER SPECIES "LIGHT EXCHANGES" REVIEW

May 25, 2020 by Andrew Perrizo in Album Review

I’m officially baptizing Sister Species as the Slipknot of chamber pop! For those of you who don’t know what I mean by that, Sister Species flouts the traditional three or four member line up, much like Slipknot, and instead has seven awesome musicians. All these individuals combine to create a compositional sound that is full and lush, and just plain good!

THE VON TRAMPS "SUMMER NIGHTS" MUSIC VIDEO

May 22, 2020 by Andrew Perrizo in Video Premiere

The beaches might be closed and the state fair is cancelled, but that doesn’t mean we can’t still find a way to enjoy summer and the great music that goes along with it. The Von Tramps and their surf-ska-rock provide us with a bit of sunshine and summer love in their video for “Summer Nights.”

SONIC SEA TURTLES "BODIES" MUSIC VIDEO

May 22, 2020 by Andrew Perrizo in Video Premiere

We are all experiencing isolation to at least some extent right now; from our friends, our families, and our communities. Sonic Sea Turtles put out a request to their fans to create images of isolation and then took the images and turned them into the music video for “Bodies.”

VIAL "THERAPY" MUSIC VIDEO

May 14, 2020 by Andrew Perrizo in Video Premiere

Who among us hasn’t thought about getting back together with an ex even though we all know it’s a terrible idea? Our ex-s are ex-s for a reason. In “Therapy” even VIAL’s therapist insists that it would be a bad idea to get back with their ex. VIAL teams up with Movement X Media to give us a video to go along with their post break-up anthem.

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.
