SoundAwake Will Keep You Wide Awake
by Charlie Sullivan Heavy metal gurus SoundAwake have been jamming on the local circuit for the past 4 years. The last year has seen some significant personnel shake-ups within the bands ranks and all and all for the better. Chris Bartch (guitar, vocals) and Chris Lycan (drums) are the lone hold outs from the original […]
Emily Shreve, Baring Her Soul
by Charlie Sullivan Not too long ago I covered Emily Shreve, an up-and-coming contemporary singer songwriter looking for an audience. The talented young lady has just put the finishing touches on her first album, Bliss And Gravity, which will be released on August 27th. Everybody gets something different out of music but with this release […]
Seattle’s The Plaid Perspective Worthy of Denver’s Ear
by Charlie Sullivan Not only do sweet sounds flow out of the Denver music scene, they leech out of other cities around country as well. I’ve been doing some work in Seattle for the past year and picked up on some local music that hooked me right away. Seattle alt rockers The Plaid Perspective are […]
Instant Empire Strikes Back
by Charlie Sullivan Local alternative rockers Instant Empire took a leap of faith this past year and are about to be compensated for the consistent effort they’ve put into their music. With the solidified line-up of Scotty Saunders (vocals), Sean Connaughty (guitar), Aaron Stone (bass, vocals), Doug Chase (keys, guitar, percussion), Lou Kucera (guitar, vocals), […]
Infinite Exactitude Jamming Away
by Charlie Sullivan Infinite Exactitude is a blues rock/jazz fusion instrumental jam band that has quietly slipped into the mix and become a force to be reckoned with on the local music scene. The power trio hooked up about six months ago and quickly gelled into a compelling musical entity. I sat in with the […]
Saturn Return Throws Out The Rule Book
by Charlie Sullivan The dynamic duo of Timm Bielec (drums, bass, synths) and Michael Zucker (vocals, guitars) hooked up some time ago working together at Differential Productions. More recently the two joined forces creating the progressive/alchemaic rock act Saturn Return who come to us via Boulder and New York. The duo got the ball rolling […]
The Progress of Remember The Radio
by Charlie Sullivan Not that progress is really necessary, because these guys have a niche that their rabid cult fans greatly appreciate, and this is another very good album. Remember The Radio rolls out their lo-fi magic once again with the release of “Owls From The Firewater”. The bands previous releases “ЯTR-001” (FEB 2013) and […]
Julox and Double O Purv, Keeping It In The Family
by Charlie Sullivan When it comes to local rap artists Julox has been at it longer than most other local rappers have been on the planet. I’m not saying the man’s old I’m just saying he’s been around long enough to see the genre come full circle and move in a direction that he finds […]
Emily Shreve, Coming Of Age
by Charlie Sullivan The talented singer-songwriter/performance artist Emily Shreve has been entertaining audiences in the Denver area for a number years, first in a three part harmony band. “We performed really bad pop covers,” says Shreve, “We wrote a few songs but it wasn’t what I really wanted to be doing.” She moved on to […]
HR People Zeroes In On Multi-Genre Sound
by Charlie Sullivan I caught HR People performing at the Mile High Music Festival in August and was pleasantly surprised by the lads. The act combines aspects of hip-hop, doo-wop, rock, and funk/soul and in doing so have created their own sound with a dynamic blend of vocal varieties dispersed through their pieces. Founding members […]
