Ground Above Zero- Light It Up and Pray For Rain
by Charlie Sullivan Ground above Zero’s freshman release, Light It Up and Pray For Rain, will hit the streets on April 18, 2014. The quasi metal artists first release (and long anticipated) is a solid effort from beginning to end. The powerful sonic assault kicks in on the opening track, “Hide And Seek (Ophelia)” and […]
Why Jazz Matters: Track 1
by Norman Provizor [email protected] While no one has ever invited me to walk down a red carpet, I did get to walk next to one when I attended the 50th edition of the Grammy Awards back in 2008. The show was filled with artists from Aretha Franklin, Tina Turner, Little Richard and Jerry Lee Lewis […]
Eat The Sun Provide New Take on Prog Rock
by Charlie Sullivan Some people might call this a musician’s band, I call it great music and a gratifying listening experience. Denver’s experimental/prog/math rockers Eat The Sun bring the music to you in a way most musicians often ponder in their minds. The crew starts you out fast and pretty and eases you into a […]

Bettman and Halpin
by Tim Wenger Bettman and Halpin have dropped their 4th album, an emotional take on soft Americana. What stands out immediately on the record is the lyricism- honest, straight forward, and picturesque words take the listener directly into the story the group is telling and, with the right ear, have the power to inject a […]

Buzzpreneur of the Month- Adrienne Osborne of Performance High
by Angela Kerr & Leah Parker [email protected] Since joining her first band in 2007, Adrienne Osborn has been in nearly every type of band structure you can imagine: a 7-person consensus-driven band, one truly 50/50 joint-venture band, one band that was 50/50 on paper but not in reality, a 5-person democratic band, two bands where […]
The Sweet Spot, April- Catapulting The Driftin’ Suns
by Glenn Sawyer [email protected] After devoting way too much of my young life to watching VH1’s Behind The Music, there was a period of time that it seemed like being a musician was all about partying and having fun. After trying this technique out myself for several years it soon became clear that being successful […]
Blind Tomorrow- The Void
by Tru Blu With shades of bands like Incubus and My Chemical Romance and a penchant to epically rock, Blind Tomorrow has a bright future. Their full length March 2014 release of their, 11 track CD, The Void, is equal parts dark angst and a hard charging sonic fury. Their song writing style is formulaic […]
