Backyard Hero: Rhett Lee of Soiled Dove Underground
Rhett Lee has put in his time in the music world. Currently, he holds it down as the Talent Buyer at the Soiled Dove Underground, which sits comfortably underneath The Tavern in Lowry. But he has certainly not spent all of his days in the “back of house” side of the business- he was the […]

Dissonance in Design- Sentient
by Tim Wenger Dissonance in Design hit harder than ever before with their new record Sentient.

Wiredogs- The Resistance
by Tim Wenger Wiredogs, formerly (and possibly better known) as The Hate, are dropping a new EP entitled The Resistance.

Petals of Spain
by Tim Wenger Petals of Spain take harmonies, vocally and musically, to the next level on their new album. The talent and musicianship this Denver four piece is astounding, they take the modern pop culture of repetitive four chord progressions and dull solos and shame it over and over on the record. At times, they […]
The Belle Jar- Union Station
by Tim Wenger The Belle Jar takes the upbeat folk-rock/country twang, and throws it head first with indy rock on their new record Union Station.
