NO EARPLUGS

There's music to be heard

Women Sing The Who

By No Earplugs on May 29, 2022 • ( Leave a comment )

I have always been a huge Who fan and seen them many times through the years. My favorite song has always been “I Can See For Miles.” My thought was to just go for it as loud and brash as I could.

It’s a Cruel World After All…

By No Earplugs on May 15, 2022 • ( Leave a comment )

With his petulance in tow and recent politically conservative leanings, even Morrissey’s biggest fans are tiring of his bullshit. Having said that, it was a joy to hear some of the 80s greatest creations.

HAIM Keep It In The Family

By No Earplugs on May 11, 2022 • ( Leave a comment )

Straight outta the San Fernando Valley, the sisters Haim (Este, Danielle, and Alana), were raised by musical parents and learned the value of a good melody early on.

Jack White Fears Nothing

By No Earplugs on April 28, 2022 • ( Leave a comment )

The new album continues White’s reputation as a cutting edge guitarist and singer-songwriter, who is a master performer. The energy he brings to each live show is unmatched by his contemporaries.

Julie Gribble Releases a Beauty

By No Earplugs on February 25, 2022 • ( Leave a comment )

The new EP contains six gems – some approaching heartache – which Gribble described as “Mainly about getting through (and past) an emotionally abusive relationship. This album is the most real and brutally honest one I’ve done and it’s a little scary but feels good.”

Isbell Sings of Redemption and Hope

Some may categorize him as a country artist, but he’s a solid fixture in the rock and Americana worlds. He first came to prominence when he joined The Drive-By Truckers at 22.

Goodmood’s Good Show to Benefit Touring Bands

By No Earplugs on November 29, 2021 • ( Leave a comment )

Once Covid hit, I saw a lot of my artists scramble to make ends meet. Touring was their bread and butter, and with the pandemic paralyzing all live shows, they lost their primary way of making money.

New Supergroup Tall Poppy Syndrome Release Holiday Single

By No Earplugs on November 25, 2021 • ( Leave a comment )

It is a fascinating phenomenon when musicians from different parts of the globe, and different musical experiences come together and create something new.

Truckers Scorch Hearts and Minds at the Variety

By No Earplugs on November 13, 2021 • ( Leave a comment )

From that 2016 album ‘American Band,’ “What It Means” describes the sobering account of Trayvon Martin being gunned down in Florida, the racial unrest in Ferguson, Missouri, and the general hate and ignorance which has overtaken America.

Mike Skill debuts solo with rock ‘n’ roll swagger

By No Earplugs on November 5, 2021 • ( Leave a comment )

…Skill has proven his songwriting chops with The Romantics. He’s done it again on SKILL. Hearing this album for the first time may feel like a gritty Detroit punch in the mouth…in a good way. Raw and authentic rock ‘n’ roll is what Mike Skill has created here.
