5 Reasons You Should Listen to 'How To Get Your Life Right With What's Left' by Scizzorman
Some albums are easy to describe. You can file them neatly under a genre, compare them to a handful of obvious touchstones, and move on. Scizzorman's new concept album is not one of those records. "How To Get Your Life Right With What's Left" is a seven-track excursion through funk, glam, psychedelia, stoner rock, swamp blues, trip ambience, and retro funk, and it resists every attempt to pin it down. The Australian outfit formed in late 2024 after a post-pandemic hiatus and

Topology Gives Scott Holiday’s Guitar a Different Job
Photo credit: Rick Horn Anyone approaching Topology primarily for Scott Holiday’s guitar playing will certainly find it, but the instrument has a different responsibility here. In Rival Sons, Holiday’s guitar often carries an immediately identifiable force. Under the HOL1D4Y name, it becomes one element inside a wider field of synths, drums, vocals, atmosphere and recurring philosophical ideas. That change is apparent from “Holotropic,” the album opener and latest single. Its

The No Fans Allowed Tour Says Almost Everything About David Fagin’s Memoir
If one episode could stand in for the entire logic of Confessions of a Musical Masochist, it might be The Rosenbergs’ No Fans Allowed Tour.

On RE/SOLVE, 2ŁØT Make Restlessness Part of the Recovery Story
RE/SOLVE begins from a useful refusal: 2ŁØT do not accept that surviving a difficult chapter automatically produces peace.

TRIPI’s Long History With Survival Shapes “Can’t Keep a Good Man Down For Long”
Long before Tony Tripi began recording Close to Fire, fire had already marked his life. At three years old, he survived a house fire that left him and his brothers hospitalized with severe burns.
