REVIEW: Ladyfinger (ne)’s Errant Forms
Ladyfinger (ne) occupy a strange locale between punk, post-punk and FM rock. Nothing truly gets sketched out, but that seems to be Ladyfinger (ne)’s objective here.

REVIEW: Circle Takes the Square’s Decompositions: Volume Number One
Circle Takes The Square‘s Decompositions, Volume Number One is a record that dissolves boundaries, a journey through time arriving at the crossroads of an epoch.

Listening to Decompositions‘ stream of apocryphal…

REVIEW: Foeme’s El Fin Del Mundo
Isn’t it something when a song can speak volumes to you (regardless of the familiarity of the language it’s being played in)? This was my revelation from earlier in the week when I was introduced to Foeme, an independent rock band from Mexico City. I find it kind of ironic that even though my Mexican…
REVIEW: TRC’s The Story So Far
