King Cardinal
by Tim Wenger King Cardinal is the Johny Cash of Colorado mountain folk music. The instrumentation is simple, driving the focus to the lyricism and the mood it creates. The songs are catchy and easy to play on repeat, each one painting a picture of the story being told firmly into the mind of the […]
Curci- Forever Summer
by Tim Wenger Youth angst permeates the solid spitting of FoCo rapper Curci on his new album Forever Summer. You’ve got to give it to him- his music is well-versed and true to his time. He bucks the trend of modern hip hop in favor of focusing on his world- the scene, graduation, girls and […]
YuYu
by Tim Wenger YuYu is an unusual name that accompanies unusual music, and not at all in a bad way. The ambience of their new record is immediately present- instrumental stylings rich with multiple layers of heart-warming bliss. I almost felt as if I was in the movie Fern Gully. The sound seems so natural, […]
Jesse R.S.- Drnkers & Jokers
by Jordan Altergott Listening to Drinkers & Jokers, Jesse R.S.’s new EP will transport you into a disposition of invincibility. “Play” is an upbeat song that will not fail to brighten your day and bring back nostalgia of young love. Meanwhile, losing yourself in the guitar and ukulele will be effortless. Drinkers & Jokers, while […]
We Are Not A Glum Lot
by Tim Wenger The new EP from Colorado Springs rockers We Are Not A Glum Lot sounds like the guys have spent their share of time on Denver’s south Broadway strip. A melodic brand of indie-influenced shoegaze music, the band utilizes an almost trippy element to separate their music from the masses of indie rock […]
Woolgather
by Tim Wenger Woolgather is a new transplant to our state, originally from Austin, Texas, who have quickly dived headfirst into the music scene. Their beguiling blend of progressive, hard, and alternative rock brings to mind System of a Down, Deftones, and Stone Temple Pilots, to name a few. Their sound is very appealing, and […]
Dead End Drivers
by Tim Wenger The Spot Studios has been working with some solid talent lately, and Dead End Drivers are right up there at the top. A smorgasbord of musical talent, the four new tracks from DED take mainstream alternative rock and mix in a bit of country twang, indie soul, and pop flair for good […]
Eyedea Worx Presents Featured A-Side of the Month- You Me and Apollo
Are you familiar with the Fray, Big Head Todd & the Monsters, and the Lumineers? We love these bands, right? Colorado based bands that make it big are great because we get to listen to them on the radio and brag about them at the same time. What could be better? Our February featured artist, You Me & […]
The Congress- Whatever You Want
by Brooke Layman [email protected] Eyedea Worx recently printed the second release of Whatever You Want from The Congress. I am one lucky gal to be able to help produce these projects and write reviews about them. Plus, I get to hear lots of amazing music so that’s an added bonus. As soon as I put this […]
Anchorage
by Tim Wenger Experimental alt-rockers Anchorage dropped their second release, an upbeat, danceable, and emotionally stimulating EP, on March 21 at the Hi-Dive. The record is very well done- instead of relying solely on uber-catchy hooks and sing-along vocals to attract a trendy audience, Anchorage lets their pure talent do the talking. Double guitars drive […]
