The name says it all. Or rather it doesn’t. This is not an American band and yet they sound just like America. In fact this might not even be a 1990’s band: UnAmerican sound like they’re rooted in classic Americana – they could have been around for decades and they intend to stay around for […]

Uncle Kracker is back with the eagerly anticipated follow-up to 2000’s critically acclaimed, RIAA double platinum certified “DOUBLE WIDE” and the Top-3 crossover pop smash, “Follow Me.” “NO STRANGER TO SHAME” sees Detroit’s favorite Uncle continuing to mine his own special blend of down-home soul, funky, groove-tinged hip-hop, and hard-driving rock n’ roll.

But within the fire, there is danger, and a different kind of darkness. On Precious, the new album from OURS, Jimmy Gnecco is the fire. His voice seduces, soothes – then […]

By now there should be no doubt about who the greatest duo in hip hop is. The answer is obvious. Outkast is the greatest hip hop group in the history of rap music hands down. If anyone still has the nerve to cast doubt on this they need only look at the duo’s long and […]

Meet Rob Overseer, a sonic producer who appreciates the finer ironies of life and music while crafting thunderous soundscapes brimming with bristling beats and layers of post-apocalyptic power chords.
