Sean Renner: Seven Days
by: Stephan Hume I didn’t know what to think about this one when I first listened. The sounds and instrumentation are unconventional to say the least. But that is what gives Seven Days its complete charm. It got its name from the fact that he had only that much time to write and record the […]
Brave Song Circle: Reciprocity EP
by: Stephan Hume You are not going to head bang to this EP. I have enjoyed listening with more of a head bob. It’s a gentle, rich package of folk, pop, and passion. Recorded at Spin & Swirl Studios in Littleton, Dustin Morris and Lauren Gale deliver you honesty that puts you right in their […]
Anthony Ruptak – C’est La Vie – CD Review
by Mac MacKillop After hibernating for the winter with a guitar in the back of a hatchback camper, Anthony Ruptak emerged from the mountains to record the EP C’est La Vie. The album draws from the lyrically driven acoustic roots of folk music, but refuses to sit comfortably within the strictures of folk or any […]
Angry Hand of God-CD Review
by Tim Wenger When told about a band called Angry Hand of God, it is almost impossible to not immediately think brutal, punishing death metal. But metal influences are only a small piece of the band’s diverse musical pie, and they prefer to put the cherry on top of the stoner rock slice instead. […]
Be Brave-Medicine for Mistakes
by Jenn Cohen Medicine for Mistakes is the latest CD from Denver locals, Be Brave. Made up of Evan Bell (vocals), Tommy Trent and Mike Payne (guitar), Brett Marcovich (bass), and Matt Neiberger (drums), their sound is both familiar (think Fall Out Boy and Jack’s Mannequin), as well as unique. After a quick intro, the […]

He has been on stage performing with 3OH!3, My Body Sings Electric, and his former group Solar Bear, that helped put him on the musical map here in Denver. He also recently released an EP as Swing Hero, a solo project that showcases Gallagher […]
Number Station- With My 1,000 Ft. Lucifer
by Tim Wenger If you are looking for a record that will have you slightly bobbing your head while at the same time uttering an amused WTF?!, then Number Station’s new record With My 1,000 Ft. Lucifer is a disc you need to pick up. Kate Whysner offers up some mystic vocals with a voice […]
Flobots- The Circle in the Square
by Tim Wenger One of the biggest names to come out of Denver in recent years, Flobots, have finally released the follow up to 2010’s Survival Story. The album gets right to work where the band left off, with stunning social commentary laid over catchy instrumentation. The title track, “The Circle in the Square,” starts […]
Ode to the Marionette- Sleepless Dreaming
by Tim Wenger Ode to the Marionette: An uncommon name, and even more uncommon music. Julia Brochay’s singing reminds me of a fairytale princess stuck inside a tower awaiting her savior, and the music that she and Christian Lowsley create follows suit. Their latest release, Sleepless Dreaming, is a leisurely trip through Brochay’s mind, with […]
Charlotte Sass- Lighter Things
by Tim Wenger Denver singer-songwriter Charlotte Sass let’s her singing do the talking. Sitting serenely on top of her elegant piano playing, the deliberate time she takes to deliver her lyrics perfectly portrays the relaxation she wants the listener to take from the music. Her vocals are vibrantly soothing, and flow nicely over the […]
