Ryan Traster “Choses Obscures” (Independent, 2019)

September 18, 2019 Mark Nenadic 0

Minneapolis based Ryan Traster plies his trade with a super laid back, woozy, indie, country-pop sound. On ‘Choses Obscures’ (French for ‘unusual things’) you can hear the ghost of Tom Petty nodding sagely as the tunes […]

Zervas & Pepper “Endless Road Restless Nomad” (Zerodeo, 2019)

June 20, 2019 Mark Nenadic 0

Folk rock from South Wales, with a (press release-claimed) Laurel Canyon state of mind. As a consequence this record has a distinct 1970s feel; the rock is very soft, very easy listening, perhaps too easy – […]

Who? What? Where? Why? & Werewolves “Greatest Hits” (Independent, 2019)

May 30, 2019 Mark Nenadic 0

Indie bluegrass from Philadelphia? Complicated moniker? Super ironic album title? Hipster alert senses are tingling with this reviewer. However, let’s not judge a book by its cover. These guys (Andrew Fullerton and Matt Orlando) were formerly […]

Alanna Matty “This Past Year” (EP) (Independent, 2019)

May 20, 2019 Mark Nenadic 0

Intimate. A word overused, often lazily, to describe the elemental voice and acoustic guitar approach to song presentation that is pretty much omnipresent nowadays. However, Torontarian (yes that’s a real word) Alanna Matty really does serve […]

David Banks “Until The End” (Independent, 2019)

This is the first solo album from former Whybirds guitarist and co-writer David Banks. It’s an ambitious sound –big, big ballads; to some extent picking up where the Whybirds left off in 2017. They returned to […]

Interview: Juana Everett is setting herself free

August 7, 2026 0

At once nostalgic travelogue, introspective head-trip, and rootsy showcase, Madrid-born Juana Everett’s second album should be her breakthrough record. Past Lives in California swims headfirst through the murky waters of transit, both literal and metaphysical. Bring […]

Margo Price “Days of Unrest”

August 7, 2026 0

A powerful message that’s relayed with the kind of vigour and skill needed to make people sit up and listen. “In his oval room, in his rockin’ chair / He’s the president, but I don’t care […]
