MusicAlbum Review: Pandas & People – Out to SeaPandas & People’s debut album, Out To Sea, is good. And, frankly, it should be. Pandas & People have been together since 2013, putting out EP’s and singles, opening for the likes of the Doobie Brothers and Twenty- One Pilots, and placing in the top three of 93.3‘s “Hometown for the Holidays” twice over the last couple years. Not bad for a folk/alternative band formed in Greeley only four years ago.Jay Wallace · Oct 2, 2017MusicAlbum Review: Victim Culture – Self-TitledBack in April, Denver-based hardcore band, Victim Culture, released their debut, self-titled album.Noel Billups · Sep 1, 2017MusicAlbum Review: Attack On Venus – XOAttack on Venus is your local pissed off galactic explorers.Samm Barrett · Sep 1, 2017MusicAlbum Review: Ian Mahan – RockfordIan Mahan, based out of Denver, says he blends together pop, blues, folk, “and old-time entertainment,” and his latest album, Rockford, particularly leans toward an acoustic indie/pop blend with gentle, relaxing lyrics.Jay Wallace · Sep 1, 2017MusicAlbum Review: She-Devils – Self TitledThe self-titled debut from Montreal-based rock band She-Devils possesses a fresh eccentric edge and is a well put together album as far as composition, songwriting and singing is concerned.Jay Wallace · Sep 1, 2017MusicAlbum Review: Bryce Merritt: Chroma IILast November, we spoke to Oklahoma native Bryce Merritt, a singer-songwriter and YouTuber, who had released his first album CHROMA I at the time.Jay Wallace · Aug 1, 2017MusicAlbum Review: Leslie Tom– Self-Titled EPHailing from Denver, traditional country music songstress Leslie Tom spent a few years traveling around the country, opening for the likes of Josh Turner and sharing the stage with Jeff Bates and Lee Roy Parnell.Jay Wallace · Aug 1, 2017MusicAlbum Review: Bad Ass Freaks– NeighborsBad Ass Freaks’ debut record showcases the joys that come from late night jams with close friends and the musical relationship between Yamirah Gercke, a one-time University of…BandWagon Magazine · Aug 1, 2017MusicAlbum Review: Foxxes– Self-TitledDenver-based quartet, Foxxes, make their debut with this nine-track, self-titled lo-fi album with a nice DIY vibe to it.Noel Billups · Aug 1, 2017MusicAlbum Review: Infinite Conscious – Trials and TribulationsSludgy thrash is the best way to describe the contrasting and somewhat ironic style that Infinite Conscious brings to the table on their latest EP Trials and Tribulations.Samm Barrett · Jul 5, 2017MusicAlbum Review: Coco Montoya – Hard TruthCoco Montoya’s latest album Hard Truth demonstrates the 65-year-old Stratocaster singer’s ability to play and sing the blues. Montoya certainly holds his own with the blues community and has a storied resume. He even used to play with John Mayall & the Bluesbreakers, filling a spot once occupied by Eric Clapton and Peter Green.Andrew Stiegler · Jul 5, 2017MusicAlbum Review: Brent Cowles – Cold TimesAfter transitioning from leading You, Me, and Apollo and opening for big names like The Lumineers, Brent Cowles has released his first solo EP titled Cold Times.Ellen Hamilton · Jul 5, 2017MusicAlbum Review: Scarlet Canary– PerspectiveScarlet Canary’s new EP Perspective fits the band name very well, showing with this wild songbird can do.Samm Barrett · Jun 1, 2017MusicAlbum Review: Inner Oceans – I Don’t MindI Don’t Mind is the first proper full-length album from synth pop Inner Oceans.Noel Billups · Jun 1, 2017ReviewsAlbum Review: Montoneros – Good BonesGood Bones is the latest release from Denver-based, math rock band Montoneros.Noel Billups · May 1, 2017MusicAlbum Review: Pie Lombardi/Little Lights – Split EPThe split EP by Pie Lombardi and Little Lights molds a certain beauty to a modern-day folk sound.Andrew Stiegler · May 1, 2017MusicAlbum Review: Kris Lager Band – Rise and ShineRise and Shine is another big step forward for the Kris Lager Band and offered fans a satisfying place to return to.Andrew Stiegler · Apr 3, 2017MusicAlbum Review: Civilian– You Wouldn’t Believe What Privilege CostsWith their latest release, You Wouldn’t Believe What Privilege Costs, the band Civilian’s indie rock album is bound to remind you of something old and new. Based out of Nashville, Tennessee, with this album the duo of Ryan Alexander and Dan Diaz continue their journey which they state is “to make the world a better place,” specifically through music. A bold statement but filled with proof after hearing the different tracks on this album. This Nashville duo is no newbie when it comes to finding their own sound, although there is a reminiscent feel to the album drawing comparisons to Ben Gibbard and Band of Horses. There are new sounds to be heard throughout the album from the first track “Skulls” that opens in brief acapella to the last “Judas” with a harsh closing statement of “I am not damaged, just discouraged.”Ellen Hamilton · Apr 3, 2017MusicAlbum Review: Bones Muhroni– GroundedFor the first time going into the recording process, Crew Reinstra found himself the principal songwriter for Bones Muhroni.Jed Murphy · Apr 3, 2017MusicAlbum Review: Shady Elders–Inside VoicesInside Voices is the debut, full-length album from the Denver based quartet, Shady Elders.Noel Billups · Mar 1, 2017
