A Year of Coping: Casa Loma
We are halfway through 2021 and sometimes I feel like we still get stuck reminiscing on how rough 2020 was. Now it is definitely easy to sit and go on about how hard last year was, but I don’t think we need any more reminders, or articles for that matter, dissecting the hardships of 2020....

Reviewed – Silvertwin -You Only
Rating - 5/5 In anticipation of their self-titled debut album, London quintet Silvertwin brings us their single ‘You Only’; it’s a sun-drenched slice of 70s soft rock, heavily influenced by the West Coast Beach-Boy aesthetic and the subsequent yacht rock artists that followed in their wake.

Hoagies and Happiness: Goalkeeper
The last year may have left a lot of us black and blue, but even with the twists and turns it brought, we definitely were still gifted with some rad music.

Things are “Better When” you listen to Séamus Scanlan.
Today we are heading out west with our headphones on to sunny California. There we find, who I like to consider, the Ben Howard of the states. His name is Séamus Scanlan and he seems to have a knack for creating soul-feeding, musical masterpieces. Though Séamus resides in San Diego, he is a born and raised... Continue Reading →
