NYC word-slinger, musician and artist Hesta Prynn has always evoked a quirky and intriguing style. These days folks are boasting from the city and where-the-hell-ever she frequents about her skills and delectable selections, craftily spun and delivered, whether on the tables or on the mic. This morning (well, yesterday morning), a chat with Dr. Prynn [...]
Tasha the Amazon lives in Toronto. Her career got publicly rolling when she co-founded the synth-pop/hip-hop outfit, Candy Coated Killahz, and that’s when I first found out about her. Having honed her hook-writing skills and sharpened her production blade, Tasha is, in my opinion, a cutting-edge mind in the industry, and a unique voice in [...]
This week I had the pleasure of chatting with Nina Diaz, guitarist/vocalist for San Antonio based three-piece band Girl in a Coma.

The band having two [...]

I do understand the die-hard-fandom, trust me. [...]
Memoryhouse is a darling dream-pop duo from Ontario, Canada consisting of Evan Abeele and Denise Nouvion. They recently signed on with SubPop Records and released their first venture with the label this past February, a wonderful LP entitled The Slideshow Effect. Evan is also a producer (he has produced all of Memoryhouse’s releases). Denise is [...]
Agree or disagree, I’m not one of those people who lets an individual’s personal life or ideologies impact my impressions of their art or products that they produce, to a larger extent. Harboring love-hate feelings toward artists is not a problem for me. I’ve always been a Guns N’ Roses fan, though I owned a [...]
