by Jenn Cohen The latest effort from Too Late for Tomorrow is their self-titled, 6-track, debut EP. Consisting of Tim Wenger (vocals, guitar), Josh Cordova (drums, vocals), and Greg Bell (bass, vocals), the local punk band jumpstarts their album with the guitar-heavy “What’s to Gain,” and doesn’t relent as it carries you through the rhythmically […]
Glass Delirium: Diamond Lullabies

Scarlet Canary-CD Review
by Tim Wenger Greeley’s Scarlet Canary strike hard with their new EP Distorted Reality. Hannah Haze’s melodic vocal lines flow well on top of a mainstream metal/rock sound. The songs are somewhat angry, although Haze’s voice does not come across as hostile. The tracks also have an emotional feel to them, highlighted by dual guitar […]
Burntwood-Review
by Tim Wenger Redemption is a common theme for Burntwood, who have dropped their take on ambient rock–their music painting pictures of reality ‘from the other side.’ The album features slightly distorted guitar work underneath Jason Koski’s somewhat scratchy but enjoyable vocals. The album reeks of loneliness at times, which accentuates its ambient feel; picture […]

Wicked Zens- Behind the Gates of Oz
by Tim Wenger Wicked Zens- Behind the Gates of Oz Breaking out of the proverbial “box” is exactly what Wicked Zens has done with their new record Behind the Gates of Oz. As the name suggests, this album has a lot to do with the Wizard of Oz film. The band has taken the theme […]
Kristi Stice- Under The Willow
by Tim Wenger Kristi Stice has that voice- it is the one you can’t stop listening to, the one you can’t turn off. Part Janis Joplin, part pop singer, part something totally new, and her new record Under The Willow brings out each part in fine form. The album is a smooth ride through Stice’s […]
