Latest Artist Reviews

The Essex lads that take Heavy Rock and make it the most beautiful thing ever...music I want to play on repeat. Over & over & over.

Anderson .Paak is the poster boy for artists that bring all sorts of joy to their craft. But its his music that really does all the talking.

The unassuming New Yorker who has the uncanny ability to open me up, play me like a fiddle and have me coming back for more.

How the death of this beautifully vulnerable & openly honest Hip Hop artist only adds to the melancholy of his music.

The seven piece from London that make a 70's funk cooler than it was in the 70's. And thats no mean feat...

James Mercer is bordering on one those musicians that are eventually referred to as genius. But he seems too normal for that...

The tragic folk singer from the late 90's who made songs for the sad kids, he reshaped melancholy to sound very much like the inside of my head.

When we refer to artists that are exactly what their band name says...these guys come in at No.1. Political. Raw. Epic. And they're not done yet...

Anyone who donates 100 percent of their touring profits to environmental nonprofits, has got their priorities straight.

For some people it was Nirvana, Alice in Chains, Soundgarden or the Screaming Trees. For me, it started with Pearl Jam's 'Ten'.

Cinematic Orchestra. One of those bands named so perfectly, you really couldn't imagine them being called anything else.

Live and direct from my mainstream 'EON FM' roots, Dire Straits and the weirdly odd looking yet talented as hell Mark Knopfler.

The amount of times I've heard people who don't understand metal say "You know, like Metallica…", I think says enough.

With or without The Attractions, recording 23 studio albums since 1977 most definitely gives him license to do whatever the fuck he wants to.

Mos Def (Yasiin Bey) is old school Hip Hop and has the unique ability to leave the bullshit ego and bling behind him.

The all conquering Ziggy Stardust and his ability to influence the forefront of popular culture, simply by being awesome.
