Local Reviews: Fox Van Cleef

Posted on April 18, 2013 (January 24, 2022) by Asha Pruitt

“Don’t laugh at me if I make a really crazy face,” is heard as you put Fox Van Cleef’s latest EP on for a spin––and we won’t––these cats are cool. Some pyschedelic guitars start in at that point and make for a very interesting intro track called “Torpedo.”  … read more

Local Reviews: Glade Sowards

Posted on April 18, 2013 (February 8, 2022) by Asha Pruitt

I was at SLUG Mags’s July LOCALIZED which doubled as David Williams’ CD release show at The Urban Lounge, when it turned into “Glade’s Surprise Record Release Party.” I have to say, it plucked my heart-strings.  … read more

Local Reviews: Herban Empire

Posted on April 18, 2013 (January 24, 2022) by Asha Pruitt

This is the kind of music that brightens my day. Comparing things to Sublime is shitty, I know, but here I can’t help it–the down to earth, feel-good vibe and even Andrew Cole’s vocals smack of Bradley and the crew.  … read more

Local Reviews: Malevolent MC

Posted on April 18, 2013 (January 24, 2022) by Asha Pruitt

SpyHop is known locally as an organization for teens,  and their record label is teen-run, but the debut from Malevolent MC doesn’t sound immature. There’s not, however, much malevolence to be found here.  … read more

Local Reviews: Rob Alvord

Posted on April 18, 2013 (January 24, 2022) by Asha Pruitt

Alvord’s debut album makes it obvious he has some guitar playing skills. Too bad his voice is like an awkward accessory—it’s nasally and reaches some highly uncomfortable pitches at times.  … read more

Local Reviews: SubRosa

Posted on April 18, 2013 (January 24, 2022) by Asha Pruitt

The ever-changing lineup of SubRosa has yielded some musical surprises over their brief recording history, and they continue to surprise with Swans Trapped in Ice, their latest three-song EP.  … read more

Local Reviews: The Wilderness

Posted on April 18, 2013 (January 24, 2022) by Asha Pruitt

The Wilderness is definitely solid. The band is tight and the compositions are on point. There is enough variety among the songs to not get too annoyed or bored. However, it’s nothing that is gonna change the world.  … read more

Movie Review: Norman

Posted on June 1, 2017 (January 24, 2022) by Asha Pruitt
Norman | Joseph Cedar | Sony Pictures Classics

There is nothing more pathetic or obnoxious in this world than a bullshit artist who claims to have everything at arm’s reach, but in reality, doesn’t have a pot to piss in. … read more
