There’s no point in saying any more
This is really not what I had hoped for.
I wonder why I tried,
with all irony aside,
‘cause I knew this would happen…
Of all the rocks and the planets way out there
I thought yours was brimming with fresh air.
I was scared of what could go wrong.
I guess I was right all along
when I knew this would happen to you.
I wonder how the people I once knew
have lived their lives and what they are up to.
It’s strange when you’re forced to choose
the people that you will lose.
I knew this would happen.
Thinking now about the choices I’ve made;
am I better for leaving or should I have stayed?
And, often, life is art;
the good things just fall apart.
I knew this would happen to you.
I knew this would happen to you.
This is the latest release by prolific multi-instrumentalist Chris Oliver. EXTENDED PLAY is a great cross section of power pop and psychedelia. Start with "Marsh" and see if you ever stop listening. HVL
Sails are a delightful band from Berwyn. Check out "The Forecast" or the title track from ON MY WAY OUT for a neat blast of retro nostalgia and tidy, clever songwriting. HVL
I fell in love with the track "You are Overgown" when Bryn Austin Bellomy submitted it as part of National Solo Album Month in 2010. Since then, his Brooklyn-based group ILLUMNTR has really taken off. HVL
A sleek take on paisley pop and 60s-by-way-of-the-80s garage rock from this Detroit three-piece, equal parts fuzz and sparkly sugar. Bandcamp New & Notable Jan 16, 2024
A powerhouse of a record from the Michigan metalcore stalwarts, full of sinister, stadium-sized singalongs and unbridled emotion. Bandcamp New & Notable Aug 31, 2022
