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, 2017MusicAlbum Review: STRFKR–Being No One, Going NowhereSTRFKR’s fourth album Being No One, Going Nowhere is named after Ayya Khema’s popular book on meditation.Apryl Carnahan · Mar 1, 2017MusicAlbum Review: Lazeraretto Jack WhiteA visit to the inside of Jack White’s head would be an interesting one.Christopher Sheridan · Feb 18, 2017MusicAlbum Review: Gasoline Lollipops– ResurrectionBack in October, we reviewed Death, the 2014 album from folk/punk outfit Gasoline Lollipops.
