Jahni Denver – The Breathing Truth: Mountain Lion Part.1 Album Review
by Jonathan McNaughton & Darnell Teague Jahni Denver is an artist stricken by tragedy. The death of his two classmates in 2002, the murder of his sister in 2003, and the murder of his mentor, and friend, in 2004, mixed with a crazy childhood, helped mold the local emcee and man we know today as […]
The Manager’s Corner January 2013
by Chris Daniels I’ve managed my own band since the 1980s and despite the amazing change in technology, success in the music business is built around four tried and true elements: great music, really hard work and timing (often mistaken for luck). The other key element is getting the help you need to make that […]
Ten Pound Elephant
by Tim Wenger Ten Pound Elephant is what you want to hear when craving mellow, toe-tappin’ jazz. They take a saxophone and keys and mesh it together well with guitar, bass, and drums on their new record. The song “Talk To Me” gives off not only the vibe of being in a packed, sweaty […]
Dead Ringer
by Tim Wenger Dead Ringer is like a handful of their Denver counterparts, keeping fast, melodic skate punk alive in the Mile High City. Their new record kicks off with an up-tempo number called “Alcohol,” a tune that, while easy to slam dance to, is wildly relevant and extremely definitive of the band’s style. As […]
An Honest Moment with Oli Herbert of All That Remains
by Eric “Psikotyk” Smith Photo: Courtesy of Google There comes a certain amount of pressure with being in a band that challenges itself with constantly growing and challenging the “norm,” and Oli Herbert of All That Remains will be the first to point that out. In an interview that went way beyond expectation, he opened […]
Tim Yunker and the Sound Junkies-Fathom
by Tim Wenger Tim Yunker and the Sound Junkies don’t play what you’d expect them to play. The vocals are a bit jazzy and a bit funky with a dash of hip-hop flare, sitting on of drum-driven, full band beats. The songs are mellow but possess a flare of energy that makes them danceable. The […]

Camper Van Beethoven-La costa Perdida
by: Sal Christ Photo Credit: Jason Thrasher There’s something about Camper Van Beethoven that simply doesn’t exist in too many rock bands now—like the lustrous experience of ripened ochre or a vintage bottle of scotch that shimmers at just the right point. Maybe it’s the fact that the music isn’t a throwback to any particular […]
Drew Schofield- Away We Go
by Tim Wenger When it comes to singer/songwriters, it takes a lot to stand out from the crowd. Drew Schofield keenly pulls it off on his new record Away We Go. His voice range is impeccable, displayed rightfully on each song, at times reminding me of the way Johnnie Winter from Red Jumpsuit Apparatus seamlessly […]
Venue of the Month-Lincoln’s Roadhouse
by Ryan Edwards It’s not easy to find, but it seems like the best venues are the ones that hide themselves in the nooks and crannies of Denver and the rest of Colorado. Lincoln’s Roadhouse is one of those venues and yet, is known on a national level for its contributions to blues music today. […]
