Amplify the Noise - DEBUT ALBUM REVIEW: Diving Into the Arms of the Divine by SPELLES
I have one word for the debut album Diving Into the Arms of the Divine by SPELLES: Perfection. I almost wrote divine, but it felt cliché to write that, but if I’m honest, the album is also divine. If music is a religion, then SPELLES are the prophets, and Diving Into the Arms of the…

Amplify the Noise - ALBUM REVIEW: Equal Strain on All Parts by Jimmy Buffett
I wasn’t going to write this review. Wasn’t really sure I could. To say the music of Jimmy Buffett impacted my life is an understatement. I was introduced to Jimmy when I was thirteen or fourteen by a friend in junior high school, and I’ve been a Parrothead ever since. Thirty-four plus years, Jimmy ..

Amplify the Noise - DEBUT ALBUM REVIEW: Phantasmagoria by Black Daggers
I like going blind into listening to new artists or new music. All I knew of Black Daggers was their name and debut album title, Phantasmagoria. Neither generated pictures of rainbows or unicorns, but dark realities of maybe murderous unicorns covered in blood as the world ended in one apocalyptic s..

Amplify the Noise - ALBUM REVIEW: Overstimulated by Miranda Joan
There's an enchanting bass rhythm woven throughout Miranda Joan's highly anticipated album, Overstimulated, that bridges genres from jazz to soul and beyond. Whether a deliberate choice by Miranda and producer CARRTOONS or a serendipitous occurrence, this underlying bass serves as a tie li..
Adult Leisure has brilliantly avoided the sophomore slump. The EP is all killer, no filler. It also happens to show the wonderful talent and magic that is at the heart of #AdultLeisure .
Amplify the Noise - EP REVIEW: Present State of Joy and Grief by Adult Leisure
The only downside I have with Adult Leisure's sophomore EP, Present State of Joy and Grief, is that it’s only four tracks. My admiration of the band began with “Control” and continued with their debut EP, The Weekend Ritual, which was our top EP for 2022 and with Present State of Joy and ..

Amplify the Noise - DEBUT ALBUM REVIEW: In Our Time by P.J.M. Bond

With a mix of new material and covers, the ninth studio album, The God Slayer, from Otep does not disappoint. The first single from the album was a brilliant cover of Billie Eilish’s song “You Should See Me in a Crown” and if I’m honest, I prefer Otep’s version compared to the original. They were&he..

HOT TRACK: “Murderer” by Ren – Amplify the Noise
When an artist goes viral it’s often a kiss of death. They burn bright like a meteorite flashing across the sky for a second, but once the brightness fades, it’s damn near impossible to recreate that sparkle and shine a second, third, or even fourth time. Defying those odds is artist and creator, Re..

DEBUT EP REVIEW: Physical Only by Baby Schillaci – Amplify the Noise
I haven’t held a physical CD in my hands since receiving David Bowie’s Earthling from an ex-beau several years ago. Needless to say, I was pretty damned stoked to hold in my hands Physical Only by Baby Schillaci. However, I faced a conundrum: how would I listen to the EP when I only had a…
