Psithurismically speaking, Circadian Clock, have sailed into a brand new breezy and cool day like the Fabreze of Rock n Roll that they are. Dualistically able to sound wild and fancy free with their self-assessed “Ridiculous Rock” style lending depth to their tried-and-true consistent take on Alternative (Rock), Circadian Clock are a band whose time […]
Satanic Transgender Ghetto Rap, anybody? From the dank project-littered streets — where the cockroaches are often bigger than the gangsta homies — of Bronx County, New York City, comes Quay Dash. The self-proclaimed M-I-C holding “Queen of NY”, Quay has thrust herself and her very direct brand of Rap into the spotlight on the strength of […]
It should take only one listen to Freya track, “The Alchemist” — easily accessible on Soundcloud to understand that these boys’ take on Metal (Heavy!) is way deadly! And way cool.

The new album, “Blonde”, […]
