Is it their finest work to date? “In The Tall Grass” is impossibly evocative, these impressions jotted down before I even knew the title – the song induced a kind of trance – crickets, the hissing of summer lawns, the delicious, ambiguous, almost imperceptible backing vocals, the memories of a hot summers day recalled on…
SWIT Premiere – DALLAS KALEVALA : VICTIMIZER
DALLAS KALEVALA : VICTIMIZER Here comes the big noise. We are delighted to premiere “Victimizer” by Dallas Kalevala. The band takes their cue from some block rocking beats, the song is loud, dark and sweet, it makes you want to move your feet, it’s got that nineties (I think, I’ve been alive so long) sheen,…

Your life will be fuller with Color Dolor
Color Dolor – Revolution “Banger” usually signifies “sausage” to me, only very rarely does it apply to a song in my opinion, in a good way anyway. I can say “Revolution” by Color Dolor is the rare exception. It’s a perfect expression of the personal revolution that happens when you find real friendship when shared…
