Starcar Sunday-CD Review
by Tim Wenger Starcar Sunday takes a genre of music that’s already hot in Denver, and makes it even hotter by putting the vocal duties in the hands of Carla Weikel and Dayna Geiger. Their take on pop-infused indie rock is about as straight forward as it comes, with raw emotion seeping from each […]
Angry Hand of God-CD Review
by Tim Wenger When told about a band called Angry Hand of God, it is almost impossible to not immediately think brutal, punishing death metal.

Ode to the Marionette- Sleepless Dreaming
by Tim Wenger Ode to the Marionette: An uncommon name, and even more uncommon music.

Robert Cline Jr.—All the Right Reason CD Review
by Tim Wenger Robert Cline Jr. takes the spirit of the Texas country and mixes it with the hipness of Fort Collins on his debut record, All The Right Reasons. Part country, part folk, part acoustic rock, Cline somehow has created a blend that doesn’t turn away by-passers of either of the genres. The title […]
Surviving April-EP Review
by Tim Wenger Surviving April has finally answered the hungry call of Denver’s throng of pop-punk fanatics, and released an EP, aptly titled EP. Brian Christofferson’s guitar parts are a pleasing compromise between New Found Glory and the Ataris, with Brian Blaney’s melodic voice fitting perfectly over the top.
