FeaturesThe Greeley Phil’s Got You (And Your Kazoo Too)The next time you attend a Greeley Philharmonic Orchestra concert, you may want to bring your kazoo.Dan England · Nov 2, 2018ReviewsAlbum Review: Nelsen – The WindFashioning themselves as Americana rock, there’s a streak of folk influences in The Wind, but it’s really a rock album with nothing to prove. Nelsen showed up to BandWagon’s Battle of the Bands with only their raw talent and came close to winning their round. The Wind is the result of that polished, raw talent showcasing each member’s abilities.Jay Wallace · Nov 7, 2018ReviewsAlbum Review: Trash. – JanuaryTrash., in a way, has been a long time coming. Kayleigh Gutskey and Michael Olivier have been very active in the Colorado music scene for years, both together and separately. Once upon a time they were Greeley punk heroes Nasty Bunch of Bitches. Love it or hate it, there is a lot to respect – they are independently doing everything themselves. These aren’t your Bitches anymore, this is Trash.Jed Murphy · Nov 8, 2018ReviewsAlbum Review: Bryce Merritt – CHROMA: IIIFreshly releasing CHROMA: III (the five-track follow up to 2017’s CHROMA: II) on October 26, Bryce Merritt is at it again with some of his best work yet. Both sexy and sleek, it could be read as disingenuous on the surface, but it shows a musician stepping out of his comfort zone and going for it. At its heart, that’s what all Bryce Merritt’s previous releases have been as well: pulling out all the stops and going for it.Jed Murphy · Nov 9, 2018FeaturesSaved By The Nerve: Gary Dean Smith’s Voice ReturnsFor Gary Dean Smith it’s been a transformative year.Jay Wallace · Nov 12, 2018ReviewsAlbum Review: The Panoramic – Dead Trumpet CallNorthern Colorado’s metal fans have needs, and those needs are filled by the sheer sonic brutality of The Panoramic who surprise-dropped the independently released EP Dead Trumpet Call on October 13th. It’s fresh as new blood and proves that The Panoramic is as heavy as ever.Nate Wilde · Nov 15, 2018105.5 The Colorado Sound's Featured Artists105.5 The Colorado Sound: Top Picks You Should Hear – November, 2018Kurt Vile has left behind the ‘galloping tempo’ of his former group War On Drugs. Here, his reverbed, moody voice and banjo (his 1st instrument) take “Come Again” from sounding like it’s of the Mother Maybelle Carter catalog to “Oh, that’s Kurt Vile” territory. Southern Culture On The Skids release Bootlegger’s Choice featuring 16 new recordings of the most requested songs from their out-of-print major label releases. Carl Broemel, the classically trained guitar player, holds down the lead-guitar spot in My Morning Jacket and has three solo albums under his belt. He and has just released his fourth, Wished Out. Loretta Lynn has just released her 41st album: Wouldn’t It Be Great. The album features songs written by Lynn over the years which she has decided to re-work for a more contemporary feel.BandWagon Magazine · Nov 18, 2018FeaturesUbiquitous of Ces Cru: Life After CesThe rap duo Ces Cru have been Strange Music mainstays for 12 years. But over the past few months, there’s been a noticeable change within the group. Ubiquitous has embarked on his own solo tour while Godemis is seemingly laying low. During Tech N9ne’s 2017 Independent Grind Tour, there was some type of incident on the bus that resulted in Godemis leaving the tour.Kyle Eustice · Nov 20, 2018
