Seattle’s The Plaid Perspective Worthy of Denver’s Ear

by Charlie Sullivan Not only do sweet sounds flow out of the Denver music scene, they leech out of other cities around country as well.

Remember The Radio rolls out their lo-fi magic once again with the release of “Owls From The Firewater”. The bands previous releases “ЯTR-001” (FEB 2013) and […]

Julox and Double O Purv, Keeping It In The Family

by Charlie Sullivan When it comes to local rap artists Julox has been at it longer than most other local rappers have been on the planet.  I’m not saying the man’s old I’m just saying he’s been around long enough to see the genre come full circle and move in a direction that he finds […]

HR People Zeroes In On Multi-Genre Sound

by Charlie Sullivan I caught HR People performing at the Mile High Music Festival in August and was pleasantly surprised by the lads.  The act combines aspects of hip-hop, doo-wop, rock, and funk/soul and in doing so have created their own sound with a dynamic blend of vocal varieties dispersed through their pieces.  Founding members […]
