The Worth-Debut EP Review
by Tim Wenger The Worth has dropped their debut EP, an energetic take on sludge rock that presents elements of everything from metal to punk to alternative. The 4-track album kicks off with “The Tide,” jumping right into catchy, sometimes dark, guitar riffs and lyrics that are actually well presented and sung, and fit well […]
True Aristocrats-Mary Amygdala CD Review
by Tim Wenger Fort Collins duo True Aristocrats throw down some very ambient experimental rock on their new album Mary Amygdala. Instrumentally, the music is somewhere between art rock and psychedelic; instrumental and weird, but also fast paced and captivating. At times the songs are a bit hard to follow, which may be what makes […]
Rob Roper-The Other Side of Nowhere-CD Review
by Tim Wenger Rob Roper brings occasional violin and drum instrumentation out alongside his eloquent guitar work on his new record The Other Side of Nowhere. The title track is the most definitive of Roper’s sound: a bit slow, yet melodic; ambient, yet strangely catchy. It is acoustic rock with Roper’s own unique touch on […]
Flyleaf-New Horizons CD Review
by Doug Leavy With three years between releases, and two years off the road, Flyleaf dropped their third full-length studio album, New Horizons. There have been some changes in those two years, and it is apparent in the album. Rich Caldwell, the bands’ longtime FOH Engineer passed away in a car accident, and […]
Foxfield Four-Weatherman EP Review
by Tim Wenger David James has got a voice to remember. He hits the highs and doesn’t bother too much with the lows. And appropriately so, as his group, Foxfield Four, hasn’t seemed to have too many of those lows since renaming itself from the David James Band last year. Their new EP Weatherman kicks […]
Number Station-Lonely Tonight CD Review
by Tim Wenger Number Station has been throwing themselves on the CMB radar a lot recently, and they’ve struck again with their record Lonely Tonight. Mellow, almost pleasant vocals on top of thick guitar distortion and steady, at times raging, drums seem to be their specialty, and they have it down. A bit of spoken […]
Ryan Chrys-A Lick and A Promise-CD Review
by Tim Wenger Ryan Chrys has a pretty good name in Denver music, and it is only going to get stronger with his upbeat, extremely danceable new country album A Lick and A Promise. This record is real honky-tonk country, the way it is supposed to be, not the mainstream pop-country crap that has been […]
Petals of Spain- Soul Canon Review
The Summit Music Hall Hosts Petals of Spain’s EP Release Party by Harrison Welshimer Let’s rock n’ roll, scream n’ yell, stomp n’ shout and just feel ALIVE! That’s what the Denver band Petals of Spain says to me in their yet-to-be issued EP titled Soul Canon … and I dig it. The […]

Set to drop on February 19, this album F.T displays his lyrical talent and makes his entry into the Colorado music scene. His southern sound and slight pimp-like mannerisms give F.T […]

Disconnected Vol. 1 is unlike anything we’ve heard before. The Denver native is not only a poet, she is the “JACKie of all Trades.” From film making to radio […]
