Michael Cormier: “More Light!”

By: Jack Anderson

As drummer for Friendship and songwriter for Hour, multi-instrumentalist Michael Cormier‘s already made quite the impact on Philadelphia’s music scene. And that’s not even including his solo work that dates back to his 2019 debuts Days Like Pearls and M-F, which both introduced us to the inherent human nature of Cormier’s profound folk.

In the brief couple years since, Cormier’s furthered himself even more from distractions to fully focus on his latest artistic offering, More Light!!!. As you may have been able to guess from its triple punctuation, More Light!!! illuminates Cormier’s passion with a bit more psychedelic energy than its stripped down folk predecessors, and you can catch some of its shine early with its just-released title track!

Shannon Hudson: “Black Roses”

The new album from Leander singer-songwriter Shannon Hudson, Cross Stitch, finds him plugged-in. Electric guitars are center stage this time for an album poignantly built around the dissolution of communication, the self-fulfilling prophecy of isolation it creates and perpetuates, and a reckoning with the state of our country and the atrocities wherein. “Black Roses” hits […]

Hazy Waters: “Take Me Home”

London band Hazy Waters takes on the feeling of being stuck inside your own head with “Take Me Home.” The restless alternative track circles around recurring thoughts, the urge to wipe the slate clean, and trying to find a way out of the same mental loop. It’s that feeling of running in circles, hoping the […]

Evil Island: “T-Hexx”

Our ship has landed on Evil Island. The locals are made-up by members of the Blood Brothers, OFF!, …And You Will Know Us By the Trail of Dead, and Glassjaw, and their culture is centered around what they call the Death Cultt, a satirical critique on consumerism and the corporate chokehold in the modern age.
