If It's Too Loud on new Figures On A Beach, "[I]t’s a glorious time capsule. It perfectly captures that period of time when the 80's were becoming the 90's. It’s rooted in the 80's, but doesn’t quite fit what you expect to hear from synth pop from that decade. ⚡ www.ifitstooloud.com/2025/09/figu...

"In my book this comes very close to the System Of A Down albums of old. #Metal with a melodic edge and a lot of anger, shouting and what not, while somehow still manages to keep my ear in listening mode." @wonoblog.bsky.social ⚡ wonomagazine.blogspot.com/2025/09/2025...

As timely as ever, Roadie Metal has the word on Parts Per Million's new EP, arriving "with an extra dose of hatred for the social turmoil that has befallen the current world... 'Red' expresses precisely this sentiment with heavy doses of heaviness, melody, and plenty of impact."

From the moment we heard 'The Fall' earlier this year, we were completed enchanted by Wayward Vine. Now the Americana indie-folk band is set to release their debut album, of the same title, on Friday, Sept. 19. It's an emotionally cathartic collection of songs. ⚡ knyvet.substack.com/p/wayward-vi...

“This drum-powered chant spiced with some golden Mexican trumpet glow, sultry sax... you end up with a contagious, foot-tapping tune that you replay in an eye/ear blink. Top-tier stroke.” -- @turnupthevolume.bsky.social on the new Crow Follow ⚡ turnupthevolume.blog/2025/09/11/j...

"It could just be the horns, but this one sounds like David Bowie collaborating with Morphine. There aren't many songs out there that truly capture how life feels, and sometimes we need a reminder that it may not be easy, but even the most mundane days can be pretty great." -- @ifitstooloud.com

"Lovina Falls...poetically tip toes beautifully between the dark and the light on 'Would That It Were', and it is magnificent." -- @thewholekameese.bsky.social x @lovinafalls.bsky.social thewholekameese.com/2025/09/05/l...

"The momentum continues to build since @lovinafalls.bsky.social first burst onto the scene as a new outlet for Mistle Thrush’s Valerie Forgione & then metamorphosing into something much more organic ...resulting in LF’s newest collection of material, "Would That It Were'." -- @rnrfables.bsky.social

⚡ New Music Friday: Crow Follow, ‘Golden Days’ -- An anthem for the simple flow of life and a poignant tonic for our chaotic times, “Golden Days” and its post-punk undercurrent, gentle psychedelic euphoria, and casual art-rock glide finds Crow Follow expanding its familiar low-rock sound.

"This is a fun track that combines the power pop and grooviness of the 60's with a more modern sound little bits and pieces of all decades in between. It's a sound that feels both vintage and modern..." @ifitstooloud.com www.ifitstooloud.com/2025/08/the-...

"'Tonight,' is a slice of power pop that could be lifted straight from the 80's. It's a high energy rocker, with the type of guitar solos that rarely exist these days, but you definitely miss more than you realize." -- @ifitstooloud.com www.ifitstooloud.com/2025/08/litt...

"Fast and furious and fueled by being fed up with what is currently happening in our country, Parts Per Million has arisen from hibernation refreshed, re-energized, and ready to fight as evidenced by their brand new trio of singles that make up the 'Red, White, and Blue' EP." @rnrfables.bsky.social
