A-Sun Amissa ~ You Stood Up For Victory, We Stood Up For Less
This is a new species of beast. A-Sun Amissa has drastically thickened its sound since Desperate in Her Heavy Sleep. On the new album, the tracks are longer, the hope seems dimmer, the atmosphere has changed from filtered light to fog.

Cloned Moor ~ A friend is about to take a big risk — Help him find another way.
Jersey’s Cloned Moor used to be known as Cloned Moor Solaris. The math-sludge trio was also once a quartet, then a duo. And they used to scream. But as band member Diego writes, “things happened, we got screwed over, had bad

Gregorio, Giallorenzo Duo ~ Multiverse
Improvisation can be a bit hit and miss as it’s impossible to strike gold every time, no matter how gifted a performer you are. Improvising in performance heavily involves the audience’s response, whether they are aware of it or not,

Matthew Collings ~ Splintered Instruments
Splintered Instruments calls to mind a seemingly unintentional question: “Why don’t we listen to pop music?” By we, I mean those reading this review, and by listen, I mean primarily ~ as there’s no escape from the popular tunes of the day. The
