Fenian: Kneecap Album Review

“Fenian”, a term that has historically been used, often derogatory, to describe Irish nationalists and republicans. Over time, however, the word has come to symbolize a big “fuck you” to the British government. I truly love a story of taking back a word and using it against those who gave it to you.  To truly understand the word’s significance, one must first understand Ireland’s long and complex struggle for self-determination. A self-determination that is truly inspirational if it’s truly seen for what it is.  Personally, a motivational story to myself. Not only coming from an Irish family, but coming from a story of self-preservation.

Princess Goes ‘Sincere Chroma’ | New Single & Video Review

Welcome Ghouls, Demons, and Fellow Wyrd Ones! I find myself, once again, struggling on where to begin with the tale I am about to tell. Another Tale of Princess Goes. The Tale of their phenomenal new single, “Sincere Chroma.” A Second Single Release. Another stepping stone leading us through this intimate journey towards the final Masterpiece that is their next LP. I love the sensation of an enticing, slow burn. Especially after witnessing the next chapter crafted by this inspiring group of men. A trio of artists. I was going to gasp if it were a trio of Air Signs. Along this pathway, I have discovered Matt Katz-Bohen to be a Gemini. The Plot thickens. My curiosity could not remain at bay for much longer. The anticipation was killing me. What is Peter?! How do these men compliment each other in such Divine Harmony?? What is the spiritual, Astrological alignment of these Three Musketeers? Well, I did some googling. Turns out our Pal Peter, is a Virgo. A nugget of information that only expanded the HeartFelt message I was receiving through this song, the previous single, and what I am anticipating to be an Album full of Musing Medicine.

Nashville’s Punk Scene Shows Up

Snooper ripped their opening set starting at around 7:45pm and had there been doors; they would’ve been blown off.   Snooper’s latest album, Worldwide, came out in October, and I am happy to say that I picked up a copy on cassette tape during the show. I was right up front for the festivities and the mosh pits.  With my camera in hand, I braved the sea of bodies swarming to the sensational music created by the band that was formed by the duo of vocalist Blair Tramel and guitarist Connor Cummins. The band is now rounded out by bassist Happy Haugen and drummer Conner Sullivan.  People filled the lot and found spots to watch from every possible angle.  It was an all-ages show and I am always so happy to see moms and dads bringing their children to enjoy in the solace of live music. Everyone was having an awesome time and treating each other with kindness.

Mr. Dinkles’ Insightful EP is Out Now

So, in their messaging you will definitely feel that presence of the punk rebellion. As it was with The Sex Pistols, Black Flag and so many more, Mr. Dinkles keeps this format of not backing down and challenging the norm. Punk is not dead. This is exemplified in “Letter to Elon”, which I have written about in a past article. It speaks on his hypocrisy of not being American yet hating immigrants and spending on rockets when we could use the aid domestically or at least Earthly. It is served up nicely alongside a bed of “Socialism Ditty” that screams about sharing the wealth. “Socialism Ditty is about billionaires taking everyone’s money,” says Rettig. There is humor in the ask but also a furious frustration that looms large.

Broadening My Musicality with Behemoth

Thankfully, my husband (Dustinn) and I have similar tastes in music. When it comes to the Metal genre, though, Dustinn definitely has a broader horizon than I. One of the more obscure sub-genres of Metal is Death/Black Metal (honestly not sure I fully understand the difference between the two, but I’m learning!), and while Dustinn looooves it, I don’t normally partake in leisure listening. It’s never really been my vibe and, most times, winds up making me unbelievably uncomfortable. “This sounds too evil – turn it off” … something I’ve had to say more than a handful of times LOL

The Gritty and Authentic New Record from Heels To The Hardwood

The Seattle-based band, Heels to the Harwood, have a new album out called “Let Up”, that will help you turn off that outside noise that rattles your brain and it will assist in easing your soul. The toe-tapping-Americana-fuel ensemble is exactly what the world needs right now to help us navigate this floating rock as it spins into total chaos. The PNW group has always been dripping in wonderful lyricism and smooth melodies, and this album continues with that trend of well-played tracks and brilliant writing. The band formed in 2011 and soon released their debut self-titled album, “Heels To The Hardwood,” in September 2014. They followed this up with their second full-length album, “Love Versus Tragedy,” in February 2017, and their third album, “Where We Come From,” dropped in 2019. In 2023, they released the singles ‘Intentions’ and ‘1 Past 5 (Say Hello)’. The latter now appears on the latest project.
