Roots of Creation - Oh Lord [Music Review]

Rating: 4.5 out of 5

“Cali Reggae at its best!

Roots of Creation are a vibe, and their latest single, ‘Oh Lord’ will take you straight to church. No, not that kind of church. I am talking about the kind of spiritual engagement that goes beyond the walls of any institution and delves into the groove and rhythm of life.

This is the kind of track you jam riding solo, or while stoking an ember on your way to enlightenment. Or you can blast it with friends and all sing along. Either way you will be happy listening. ”

Sitting On Stacy - I'm Not Dead Anymore [Music Review]

Rating: 4 out of 5

“Lyrically brilliant, ‘I’m Not Dead Anymore’ comes out blazing with a truly a unique vibe. The band, formerly known as Paper, changed their name to Sitting On Stacy to better stand out given an internet search of Paper turns up far more than info on the band.

This three piece Southern California Ska band has carved a name for themselves regionally and is poised to climb even higher with strong writing and the talent to performs it all live.”

Jake Knox - Jake is Dead (Head Underwater) [Music Review]

Rating: 4 out of 5

“Jake Knox gives us a rocking Ska track about climbing out of the pits of despair. We all get in those low mental spots and how we respond can not only determine our future trajectory but can shorten or lengthen these buts of despair. This is the kind of track that reminds we are not alone in an entertaining fashion and can help us to pick up and move on when we need to. Knox describes it as ‘the most personal song he’s ever written’ and in that passion, listeners will find their own relevance. ”

Artikal Sound System - You're An Asshole [Review]

Rating: 4 out of 5

“Sometimes the high road is no fun at all and Artikal Sound System has taken that idea tot he next level with ‘You’re An Asshole,’ which tells it exactly like it is.

Far too often the assholes of the world skate along from victim to victim without ever being called to the carpet. This track lays it all out there, and will no doubt be sent as a ‘dedication’ to more than one taker in this world on their way out the door after being found out. ”
