El Amor
by Tim Wenger Denver’s El Amor had dropped a demo album, self described as ‘rotten roll.’ Simplistic in the way of seventies punk, vocally exotic like good alternative and featuring solid, driving bass, the band presents a solid take on modern rock music. The overall sound is what you might picture when thinking of garage […]
Dead End Drivers- One Way Out
By Tim Wenger Dead End Drivers got on our radar a couple months ago through a ReverbNation submission, and the reasons why we selected them are made very apparent on the EP One Way Out. The five songs on the disc are not what you typically hear come out of our indie-rock savvy town, they […]

Hot Apostles Self-Titled CD Review

Whiskey Bottles-CD Review
by Tim Wenger The Whiskey Bottles bring a fresh take on Americana with their new album Grandville.
