INTERVIEW : Spoken
A couple of weeks ago I spent an entertaining evening with Matt Baird (and some local talent) at a coffee shop, where Matt was performing an acoustic set. He had been traveling for 2 weeks playing acoustic gigs, just him, his guitar, and his family. The city of Minot, where I currently reside, was his final stop before a very short 2-day break until it was back on the road again, this time with the entire band in tow. The tiny coffee shop was filled with young aspiring artists, and as each performed Matt paid close attention. … Continued →

REVIEW : Nine Lashes - From Water to War
Nine Lashes recently released "From Water to War." Has the band evolved from a mash of RED and TFK with this new release? Here are our official thoughts.
The Letter Black - Up From The Ashes
The Letter Black just posted another music video from a song featured on their latest release, Rebuild. “Up From The Ashes” is the fifth track on the album and is actually a cover from secular band Burn Halo that was released in 2011. Since they are a secular band I won’t add any links, but just search it on Youtube if you want to hear the original. The video isn’t nearly as creative as their previous one for “Pain Killer“. You can expect a lot of shaky cam, but it’s a fun ride.… Continued →

Rethinking "Wait For the Siren"
As a reviewer I admit that I’ve likely given too many “4’s.” A month or two after writing up a review, I’ll look at the score with a little perspective and think “that was really more a 3” (and even an occasional 3 that should have been a 2). Though this is certainly not common, it does happen. However, I have come to pride myself that I save the big one (a perfect 5) for only the best of the best albums around.
To date, I have given two perfect scores.… Continued →
