Proud Dads offer a modern bedroom pop take on the words of Ozymandias, king of king, “Look on my works, ye mighty, and despair!” and the idea that all our effort might be in vain as we waste away in a pandemic-induced limbo.

After 18 Year Hiatus AA Wallace Revives Cheval Moniker for ‘Makes Me Wanna Die’
AA Wallace is a man of many hats. Or possibly a chameleon of many hats or even a mercurial shapeshifter. In which case, the hat is entirely superfluous.

Skeleton Club Get Brilliantly Weird on ‘ONLY HUMANS’
With the release of their new EP, ONLY HUMANS, Skeleton Club present themselves as a band teetering on the edge—the fine line between creativity and sanity—as they navigate a strenuous new world of self-isolation. Let’s be honest though, this has always been what we’ve loved about Skeleton Club. Their debut 2019 release, Death, Love, & Money, was already brilliantly indulging heavily in weird vibes. It’s just convenient that everyone has been forced onto their wavelength. Continue reading Skeleton Club Get Brilliantly Weird on ‘ONLY HUMANS’
