Cummings’ poems. The record retains a subtle honesty wrapped in moments of dynamic, tonal beauty.Valerie Vampola · Apr 8, 2019MusicAlbum Review: Nathaniel Rateliff and the Night Sweats – Tearing at the SeamsNathaniel Rateliff is a name that carries a lot of weight in the Colorado.Jed Murphy · Apr 2, 2018MusicAlbum Review: False Report – Your Addiction Sleeps TonightYour Addiction Sleeps Tonight is the newest EP from Denver based pop-punk band False Report.Noel Billups · Jan 1, 2018MusicAlbum Review: Vektroid – Seed & Synthetic EarthVaporwave is probably one of the most niche music genres in existence, as well as the only one that the Internet could claim as its own.Jay Wallace · Jan 1, 2018MusicAlbum Review: Modern Suspects – IIII is, as the name suggests, the second EP from the Denver based synth-pop group Modern Suspects.Noel Billups · Dec 1, 2017MusicAlbum Review: this broken beat – What’s On Your Mind?Denver pop band this broken beat has been rising to the top for the last year since releasing their first single, “Sweat And Blood,” in 2016.Jay Wallace · Dec 1, 2017MusicAlbum Review: Michael Morrow & The Culprits – RaucousWe have gotten some throwback/retro albums over the years at BandWagon from a lot of different genres, but one we never expected to get is a 1980s-style hair metal album.Jay Wallace · Dec 1, 2017MusicAlbum Review: Melkbelly – Nothing ValleyMelkbelly’s debut, full-length album Nothing Valley may be one of the most refreshing albums of the year.Noel Billups · Nov 1, 2017MusicAlbum Review: The Great Aerodome– Happy Birthday to Me, I GuessGenre-bending rockers, The Great Aerodrome knock it out of the park with their debut album Happy Birthday to Me, I Guess.Noel Billups · Nov 1, 2017MusicAlbum Review: Get Along– Let My People GoGet Along is a husband and wife indie-pop duo made up of Nicholas and Cara Yañez, who just released their diverse EP, Let My People Go.Noel Billups · Oct 2, 2017MusicAlbum Review: Protomartyr– Relatives in DescentRelatives in Descent, Protomartyr’s third full-length record reads like an existential crisis, full of the bitterness and anger we have come to expect from their style of post punk.Jed Murphy · Oct 2, 2017MusicAlbum Review: Pandas & People – Out to SeaPandas & People’s debut album, Out To Sea, is good.
