Jason McIver Collective - Single Review: Stoney Joe
Jason McIver is one of those prolific, yet relatively unknown homegrown artists that deserve a lot more attention. Rocking the whole Chino Moreno (Deftones) look, it’s one of those cases of animal resembling owner, or in this case, voice resembling famous lookalike.
Let’s just say if Moreno’s side project was pop/rock than dreamy post-rock, then McIver’s new single with The Jason McIver Collective, Stoney Joe would pass for a Team Sleep single.
Throw a bit of Oasis on cocaine and that’s probably the best description of this Pop/Rock summer time anthem, riding in high on the crest of that returning tide of 90’s revivalist sound that the world has been longing for. This is the kind of music we’ve been missing, and here’s hoping Stoney Joe is an accurate representation of what to expect from Jason McIver’s in the future.
Stoney Joe will be released December 15th on iTunes and Amplifier. For more from Jason McIver, check out his Soundcloud page.
Also watch out for the upcoming Stoney Joe music video from Aiden Otene Dickens’ (Illuminus) Illuminate Productions.

AJA - Album Review: Kawai

Bilingual albums shouldn’t be special; they should be the norm. Or at least more common.

Ra Charmian - Album Review: Waiata Wairua
08 Oct 2024 // by Peter-James Dries
Waiata Wairua is an album that wouldn’t feel out of place performed in a late night jazz hall in some alternate history where the successes of the Maori battalion lead to a proliferation of Te Reo worldwide. The sort of interest that saw your dad singing in French in the 60's, when Mireille Mathieu was knocking about.

20 Oct 2023 // by Peter-James Dries
You know that thing where the letter B has a personality, or words have textures and colours? That’s called synaesthesia.

Have you ever been torn between listening to Mozart or Periphery? Does Epica have too much of that darn singing for your tastes?

Yurt Party - Album Review: Yurt Party
07 Sep 2023 // by Peter-James Dries
It sure isn't summer, and this is really not the Balkans, but Yurt Party’s new self-titled album refutes that. Back with another one of them Balkan rocking beats, Yurt Party’s debut is jazzy, erratic, and full of zest and energetic grooves, with flavour notes of ska, dub, and bergamot.
