    June 27 04:01 PM
  • Atari For country check new Emily Scott Robinson I reviewed. For hip-hop the new Maxo Kream is great and love the Tyler The Creator feature. If u want something that sounds like The Smith Street band check Brutalligators. Also think you might? love the Meet Me @ The Altar EP Rowan reviewed a few months back (Paramore, NFG-esque). Hope u find something u dig here, haha ;) or if you?re just wanting more pop punk lmk
    November 13 11:36 PM
  • Atari Haha, I?ll have to get back to you!
    November 13 10:17 PM
  • JohnnyoftheWell mmm yh first 5 trax on that alb are a real treat. her cocteau twins worship stuff is also nice nice
    October 21 02:57 AM
  • jimthefish the "philias" EP by Self Insert is doing some weird stuff fusing hip-hop with experimental electronic and rock. i'd read ur review. my fav song off it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cbIlkN-iFb0

  • Kaiwaz lol the most memorable moment for me in that film is when Bruce Willis bends over the counter and grabs a pen and says "I need to borrrrrooooow this and this". Don't know why that stuck with me all these years haha
    September 29 04:59 PM
  • Kaiwaz lmao it's not THAT BAD dude! I mean, looking back at it it's kind of corny now that I'm an adult but I was a kid and I loved that snomobile s*** and planes scare me so it was a good experience for me at that young age

  • mmbernie Great, let me know what you think!
    January 17 12:30 PM
  • mmbernie I was reading your review for To Be Everywhere is To Be Nowhere. I think you'll enjoy this band I recently wrote a review for called Prince and Beggar. The song, 'King Ghost', gives me some vibes of a cross between Vheissu and Major/Minor. If you get a chance to check it out let me know your thoughts!

  • Jots whoa those question marks ..
    December 18 04:13 AM
  • Jots yeah I?ve got a decent ?concept? but def need to reinforce it to really sell it, so it?s not hamfisted. any extra eureka ideas are welcome so I?ll take a look
    December 18 02:18 AM
  • Brostep you've probably heard it by now but if not the new charli xcx mixtape is potentially better than number 1 angel. god Backseat and Porsche are such good songs
    December 16 10:45 PM
