Music Review: MYLO BYBEE, Revisions EP
On Revisions, MYLO BYBEE distills emotional urgency into a collection of songs that feel both deeply personal and widely relatable. The Boise-based alt-rock band blends melodic introspection with bursts of raw, driving energy, creating a sound that feels lived-in rather than manufactured. Each track unfolds with intention, allowing vulnerability to coexist with momentum - reflection giving way to release. There’s a quiet confidence here - not in perfection, but in honesty.

Album Review: Petals and Pain: The Devil Wears Prada’s Flowers Unfold
Nearly two decades into their career, The Devil Wears Prada continue to defy expectations. They have never been afraid to evolve, but “Flowers” feels like a full bloom. This album is a reflection on where they’ve been and where they are heading. It’s heavy, heartfelt, dark, beautiful, and a reminder that even the darkest bands can still find light in bloom.

Music Review: Pinknoise Cranks Up the Chaos with New Banger ‘TALK TALK
Pinknoise returns with a ferocious new single, “TALK TALK.” This song is pure raw emotion at its finest. It’s heavy, unapologetic, and angry, but within that chaos, it’s pure and beautiful.
The introduction of "TALK TALK" begins with a dark synth electronic vibe; either way, it immediately captured my attention. Then you hear Kacey Foxx enter in with the lyrics "your lips are moving, but nothing's making sense," followed by a raw scream and a powerful beat that will make y

On October 24, 2025, Mammoth, formerly Mammoth WVH until a recent copyright change was granted, released their third album in four years.
