Jake Abramson’s ‘Caution Tape’ Is Bruising, Militaristic Electronic Music

Jake Abramson’s ‘Caution Tape’ is some hard-hitting, rock-oriented electronic music from this solo artist. There’s an overwhelming, deeply industrial sense of darkness on here that’s served well by the track’s rock format and computerized instrumentation. Abramson’s tense, smoldering vocals paint a very clear lyrical picture. Under that, the rumbling synths give the piece a militaristic, march-like aesthetic. This is furthered by the lumbering, often percussive … Continue reading Jake Abramson’s ‘Caution Tape’ Is Bruising, Militaristic Electronic Music

Dusty Tucker’s ‘Twenty Whatever’ Is Slick, Expansive and Emotive Hard Rock

Dusty Tucker’s ‘Twenty Whatever’ is some slick, emotive hard rock with some clear punk influences. The band describes their first full-length, The North Stone, as, “A western tale told in twelve tracks with heroes and villains and musical movements back to back.” There’s a lot going on here. Something about the track, probably the hyperbolic guitars and dramatic, higher register lead vocals, give the track a progressive … Continue reading Dusty Tucker’s ‘Twenty Whatever’ Is Slick, Expansive and Emotive Hard Rock

Cilver’s ‘Turns Me On’ Is Glamorous Female-Fronted Hard Rock

Cilver’s ‘Turns Me On’ is glamorous, sexy hard rock with a clean, powerful take on the genre’s conventions. These guys aren’t holding back any punches. The honest, destructive nature of the lyrics gives the listener a clear, fully-formed view into this lead singer’s psyche. In a genre broadly dominated by testosterone-fueled chugging and the rhetorical themes that come with that, it’s nice to hear something … Continue reading Cilver’s ‘Turns Me On’ Is Glamorous Female-Fronted Hard Rock

Djunah’s ‘Brother’ is a scathing, expansive take on the modern political climate from this Chicago-based, female-driven progressive rock outfit. The band says the song “is dedicated to survivors of sexual assault. It features the voices of Anita Hill, Christine Blasey Ford, and activists Ana Maria Archila and Maria Gallagher, who became famous during the Brett Kavanaugh judiciary hearings for confronting Republican senator Jeff Flake in … Continue reading Djunah’s ‘Brother’ is a Truly Powerful Prog Rock Protest Song
