Reader As Detective by Generationals I’m seated listening to song after song, something to get me through my day, to break up the monotony. Clicking play on a list of dozens of songs and I finally find “I Turned My Back on the Written Word” by Generationals. At first, I wasn’t sure I wasn’t listening […]
Tear by Forest City Aurora A single note on piano repeats and I’m thrown into a dissonance that seems so fitting for the title, “Don’t Wanna Love You.” However, it’s only a moment before Forest City Aurora (FCA) jump into the full song and rock my socks off. “Don’t Wanna Love You” is the perfect […]

This morning was not one of them. “Eyes” by Minneapolis’ Wild Firth is an attention-grabbing dream ride. Lawn Memory by Wild Firth Awash with dreamy […]
“Sleeping Pills” (feat. KOLE) by Kidswaste is an honest look at the “millennial burnout.” A song about feeling completely overwhelmed and needing an escape. A never-ending negative feedback loop where we are all so busy and preoccupied. We are caught up juggling our personal lives, our social media lives, and our dreams, that we look […]
This is a guest post by Eddy Marshall A. Charles: rapper, singer, songwriter, and music video auteur, releases one song a month. In January he sang through a heated fantasy of throwing one lucky listener into a proverbial wishing well. This month, he has fought through the anger and dropped a more honest excavation of […]
This is a guest post by Eddy Marshall It has been almost four years since Damn Tall Buildings has unleashed new music upon our ears. Last Friday they released Late July and showed us how worthwhile our wait has been. The song begins with a reminder of Max Capistran’s easygoing charisma. His guitar drives onwards […]
