Truly. Unique. These are the best words that come to mind when I listen to the compilation of sounds emerging from the talent that is Ransom Scenery.

Single Review: The Unravelling’s “Master Drone”
A Canadian musical duo from Calgary known as The Unravelling (yes, two “L’s”) released their new single “Master Drone” online July 8th, 2015.

When I read the title of Before Our Time’s first track, “Hold On Tight,” I sighed — was I about to review an album full of clichéd alt-pop drivel? But “Hold On Tight” went beyond the expectations of its name, a jaunty guitar-driven number with an abrupt ending.

Getting the Vapors: A Review of Writing in the Skies’ Aphasia
Writing in the Skies, hailing from Western Massachusetts is a talented instrumental metal/prog rock act for sure. Their debut EP Aphasia is a sweet taste of what the band has to offer with their upcoming LP.
