The Alarm Reimagine Music Television
For fans of 80s music, it’s about time. The subtitle of the album reads, “Stepping back into the future.” Appropriate for a man who is simultaneously reminiscing and looking forward to what’s next.
Stars Celebrate 20 Years of ‘Set Yourself On Fire’
As Torq sings on the title track, “Twenty years asleep before we sleep forever.” Well, it’s 20 years later and there will surely be little rest as the band is out promoting the anniversary of their third album kicking off in the northeast U.S. then continuing through much of Canada and the U.S. West coast.
Loma Want Inside Your Head
The genre-bending trio has seemingly matured with age, and as a result experienced the riches of self-confidence and assuredness. The culmination of each musician’s life-experience in music is evident and refreshing here.

Imagine a songwriter pairing with four vocalists who bring their unique styles and personalities, creating a sort of Myers-Briggs personality types set of songs. This would be that.
Trizo 50 Celebrate Demo’s 50th
The band never really got off the ground outside of the small farming community of Norborne, Missouri about an hour east of Kansas City, but what a story DePugh weaves.
Gonzalez Smith Roll Up Solid Debut
“She’s My Girl” is a gem of a tune and definitely the antithesis of a DBT song, a prototypical, straightforward power pop gem, reminiscent of The Beatles’ “From Me To You.”
Strangers In A Strange Land Take Action
The band masters a 60s feel but succeeds in a 21st century sound, wonderfully produced. They simultaneously straddle the 20th and 21st centuries with no smoke or mirrors to be found.
Strangers In A Strange Land Drop Sharp New Single
The psychedelic popness on the single is evident and there are hooks aplenty. Make no mistake, this is no throwback sound, but a relevant 21st rock song.
Dennis Davison’s New EP is Scary Good
This new 5-song EP sees the singer evolving and perfecting his songwriting. Davison was clearly born late, as he embodies a sixties sound while creating relevant, 21st century vibes.
Lucky for Us, Bully is Back
Not one to shy away from politics, Bognanno uses her increasing fame for good, speaking out on important social issues. “All This Noise” rounds out the album with takes on climate change, America’s gun problem, and women’s rights – all in one powerful song
