Pick A Piper - Pick A Piper EP

1. Yellowknife
2. Bechtel Park
3. Rooms
4. Dene Sled

Pick A Piper have released their debut album titled "Pick A Piper EP." This album shows the band in a very indie way, with some unusual sounds going on with t. It has a really experimental sound with it as well, so if you are into a little bit of a strange indie feel, then you should like this album.When looking at the recording quality of this album, the album has been recorded fairly well, with a real echo like vocal and indie feel to it. The bands instrumentation seem to be on the average side, with drums that sound a little better. Now onto the vocals and lyrics, the vocals have been done alright, you can certainly hear the vocals, but the lyrics could use more to get more of a song and more meaning from them. If you are looking for a single to this album, there isn't one, so just pick a song and give it a listen to get the feel of the album. Pick A Piper have done a good job on their debut, welcome to album and it is something not really being done right now, so points for originality. We hope to see this band play more and keep progressing. Good job overall from these guys. Listen to this album to decide for yourself what you think of it.

Dinosaur Dinosaur - The Gulf

2. Gentlemen Without Laws

5. Spooky Action At A Distance
6. Spear And Magic Helmet
7. Lossless
8. Somniloquy

Dinosaur Dinosaur have finally released their debut album titled "The Gulf". This album is one that has taken quite awhile to make, being that the band has been around since at least 2009. They currently feature three members with a drum machine behind them, but they don't mind it. The band has a very 80's synth and indie feel to them. When looking at the recording quality of the album, the album sounds pretty good but it could use some work, especially it the drumming department. One thing we notice is that the songs seem to take a little too long to start up and the vocals seem to go up in the middle, then come back down which makes it hard to follow any of the lyrics. This band is quite an experimental band as well with what they are doing. When we think of the band, what comes to mind is Zoey Dechanel's band in Yes Man. If you are looking for a single for this album, there isn't one, so just pick any song and give it a listen to get the feel of the album. Dinosaur Dinosaur have made quite a different album here and we are not quite sure if it's good or bad, we really don't know what to make of it. Maybe while making their next album they can progress to find a sound that more people can identify with. We hope the band starts to play more shows to get the name out as well. Listen to this album to decide for yourself what you think of it.

1. Zombie Face
2. The Heart
3. Summer Song
4. Consider Us Dead
5. The End Is Coming
6. Fragile Mind
7. White Noise
8. Reaper

Duck Duck Goose is a band that have just come onto the scene. This is their debut full length album and it has a sort of weird feel to it, so if you like experimental music, then you should like this release. When looking at the recording quality of this album, the band have done an okay job on this and the band is able to play but there seems to be a bit too much going on in their songs. Now onto the vocals, the singer can sing, but the lyrics also seem a little bit weird as well. If you are looking for a single for this album, there is not one, so just pick a song and give it a listen to get the idea of how the album sounds. Duck Duck Goose have done an alright job here, if only they figure out the whole jumbleness of the sound, then they may have a more palatable album here. Give this album a listen to decide for yourself what you think of it. They have since called it quits (R.I.P.).

Adverteyes have released their  second album called "Cultures". This album follows the same style as their previous one and gives you more music to listen to by the band. These guys have done and album that is slower and a bit depressing in nature. When looking at the recording and it's quality of this album, the album has been done alright it does need a touch or two. On this album the band seems to be able to play their instruments although its nothing that is going to blow you out of the water. Onto the singing, the singing is a bit bland in his style, but he can sing and the lyrics are pretty decent here. if you are looking for a single for this album, there isn't one, so just pick a song and listen to it so you get an idea of how the album sounds.

Lifestory: Monologue - Drag Your White Fur - Make It Grey

3.Thornberry
4. Finger Painted Notes
5. The Sound That Love Makes
6. Candles
7. Teratoma
8. Between The Rocks And The Clouds
9. Stations
10. Lessons

Lifestory: Monologue have released their fifth album titled "Drag Your White Fur, Make It Grey" This album follows along with the bands signature style of spoken word along with ambient music around the lyrics. The album doesn't stray off from what you are used to from the band and nothing has been really added to the sound of anything, just Lifestory as you know them. Again the album has been recorded and played beautifully, especially with the different sounds they like to use, such as the violin bow across the guitar strings. This band is a really unique band as people are not doing what they are doing inside the kinds of bands they find themselves associated with. Doing all of this and making their songs really long makes this bandvery attention getting. The song to listen to on this album would be "Candles" as this song exemplifys what the band is all about the most and it has great lyrics. All in all, this band is something you need to listen to at least once as this is something you've never heard before. They have since called it quits (R.I.P.)

Adverteyes - Myopia

1. Help Yourself
2. Ward
3.  What You Need
4. Horse Of A Different Colour
5. Arid
6. Royal
7. Homo Stasis
8. Astronomically Diabolical
9. Aweigh Out

Adverteyes have released their debut album titled "Myopia" This album gives the band a start and shows off the feel of the band. What is that  feel? a light indie rock feel that is. When you first put on this album, you get a weird feel that just seems to be a bit in left field. This really gives the band something to make them stand out for you, weather that makes them good or not is up to whoever is listening to it. The album has been recorded alright, but it could use a little bit more here and there. These guys can  play their instruments decently and have a spacey bit of feel to the playing. On this album, the band does have something here but it is certainly not going to get them mainstream play but is done alright. A song to listen to on this album would be "Arid" as it is the best song and gives you the greatest feel of the other songs on the album. Overall, this album is not going to do anything for you if you like mainstream music, but if your into weirder, experimental music, then this is an album for you to really check out. Good job and will have to see what they do next.

The band really has done a great job on this album, all fourteen tracks have a beautiful feel to them and the lyrics are pretty decent. When looking at the instrumentation, these guys can play their instruments well, and the guitarist even uses a bow on the strings for a bit. The song "Space and Time" is a song you should listen to so you get the total feel of what this album is all about. Overall, this is a well done album, so listen to it.

Jessica Chase - Coming Down

1. The Only One

2. Heaven Won't Change

3. Long Haul Baby

4. Child's Play

5. We Are An Arrow

6. Afraid Of The Dark

7. God Made Lana Del Rey

Jessica Chase has bravely come out and released her debut EP "Coming Down" for the world to hear. Coming down is not like the pop music you continuously hear on the radio, but a more mature pop music. This album is a decent effort from the singer and will be able to continually grow from this. Her single "The Only One" shows just exactly what her album is all about and showcases her talent. Listen to this album, and look out for her in the future, as this is just the beginning from her.

Lifestory: Monologue - The Thornberry EP

1. Thornberry

2. The Coward

3. The Sound That Love Makes

Lifestory: Monologue have released "The Thornberry EP." This EP is just a sample for what the new upcoming album will sound like. It has the same unmistakable unique sound that Lifestory do on all their albums and do it decently. With the title song "Thornberry" it is weird to see a song thats under four minutes for this band but that doesn't take anything away from it. Overall, these three songs are a great lead up to what the new album will sound like. They have since called it quits (R.I.P.)

A Cat Named Wolf - Sleeps The Long Way Home

1. I Am A Small Travel

2. Grind Psalm

3. Take Only Take

4. Drunk, Lonely, Sick & Drunk

5. Fat Boy Wailer

6. Spendthrift

7. Oh Three Sixty Three

A Cat Named Wolf is a band that has a very different style to them. You can see it here on their debut album "Sleeps The Long Way Home." This album has a very soft sound and fits a very niche market with this. They are pretty good at doing what they do, and their lyrics are ok, but that's not so much the point with this. Give this band a chance as it's unique and interesting.

Lifestory: Monologue - Hold Me In The Wind, My Friend

1. Dancing And Kisses

2. Ultimate!

3. Wolves Behind Me

4. Sway The Stalks

5. Rejoice, Rejoice

Lifestory: Monologue have made an amazing album when you listen to this one. This album is full of very different experimental music that is hard to find anyone who sounds like them. The songs in the album are capped off with the 8 minute epic "Dancing And Kisses" which is probably the best written song to date by these guys. Every song is worth listening to on this album, so give it your ears. They have since called it quits (R.I.P.)
