That's right folks! I made a quick post of some old iwont shirts that I had printed when the project was active and many people reached out complimenting the project and wanted shirts.

Review: Cru The Dynamic - Cuts

Image
May 27th, 2019 https://cruthedynamic.bandcamp.com/album/cuts  I'm always on the lookout at record stores and online for something that is new to me that'll expand my music library. While lurking on Detroit's very own YHS Records bandcamp page, I came across Cru The Dynamic and did just that!  Taken from the Cru The Dynamic Bandcamp Page: "Steve Bryant is a drummer and producer from Brooklyn, NY. Although trained in jazz performance, his production and p laying styles are deeply rooted in hip-hop & drum&bass. Touring drummer for Young & Sick, Eliot Lipp, Michna, Benzos, & several others. Music featured on HBO, CBS, & showtime. Called "the most versatile drummer in NYC" by Urb magazine. Signed to Young Heavy Souls records."

Review: Hate Preachers - Bile of Progress

May 27th, 2019 https://suckblood.bandcamp.com/album/hate-preachers-bile-of-progress-demo My roots run deep in the realm of punk and as I get older the soft spot for this genre grows and grows. I miss the days of digging through the used bins at record stores, lurking for the oldies on soulseek/message boards, waiting to see what Havoc Records was going to re-issue next was, and trying to make the sickest playlist to skate to with limited mp3 space was my middle/high school existence.

Hate Preachers are a Los Angeles group absolutely killing with their UK82/80s Finnish HC style production and absolutely ruthless delivery.  Bile of Progress  is the band's 2nd release containing 4 songs that'll have you circle pitting in no time. The tape leaves you wanting more, which feels like the band is messing with you after you burn through all 4 songs m

Review: Chasms - The Mirage

April 22, 2019 https://chasms.bandcamp.com/album/the-mirage I'm a huge fan of the Felte Records and I always find myself poking around their bandcamp looking for tunes that are a little out there and off the beaten path. Thankfully since Ritual Howls are residents of the mitten, Felte releases are readily available at local record stores. This allowed me to pick up Chasms -  The Mirage  and absolutely fall in love with this album. Initially, someone told me Chasms was like a modern day Cocteau Twins, so that got my attention right away. I'm a sucker for anything ethereal, so checking them out became a priority. I listened to a couple of cuts off  The Mirage  around the time it came out and dug them a lot. The haunting and melancholic vocals, scattered and desperate sounding guitar work, and catchy bass lines really sucked me into the dark world that is Chasms When I finally saw this album on the racks it was a no brainer, I put some other records down and picked
