The Things – Vicarious Catharsis
Today, I decided to introduce a relatively new group that defies classifications into a particular genre. Their music possesses everything you could imagine, but still, it sounds so compact and unique. The Things is a relatively new group that emanates from Rolling Hills Estates, United States. The quintet introduced themselves with Ball & Chain, a…

The 69 Cats – Seven Year Itch CD (Cleopatra Records)
What started as a project between two prolific individuals now threatens to turn into a full-time group.

Onism E – Survivors
Alternative rock bands are popping up from every possible direction, and the percentage of the good ones goes beyond comprehension every time I decide to search for some alternative rock music.

David Christy Jones – Welcome To Virology

David Christy Jones is one of those musicians who wisely spent…

Dr Schwamp – Tunes, Tall Tales & Tinctures LP
Dr. Schwamp is one of the most characteristic bands I had an opportunity to encounter during my explorations through the vast world of music. Their musical direction is not so obvious to be defined by simplistic terms, neither the group tends to converge on a particular genre. Quite the contrary, Dr. Schwamp floats between an…
