Artist Name: Castle Black

Label: Self-released
Genre: Punk/Grunge
Track Listing: 1. Man on a Train; 2. River; 3. Sierra; 4. A Cigarette, Saved; 5. Linen
Publicist: Behind the Curtains Media
Review: Last year we reviewed their previous EP, Trapped Under All You Know, and they’re back with their fourth EP, the gods that adored you. This band just continues to get better and better. One thing we really love about them, besides their amazing post-punk grunge/ indie rock sound is the lead female vocals, which truly sets them apart from so many of their peers. All five songs this time around are amazing, and we can’t get enough of any of them, especially “Linen.” As we said last year, “Hop on the bandwagon now cause this band is going places.” We stand by that analysis.
Recommendation: Definitely Get it.

Review: Fellow Robot has a unique but familiar style, reminiscent of the music of The Decemberists. The music is simple yet majestic, and builds mightily as each song progresses towards climax. This is a band you want to have as your everyday chill, and we don’t think you will ever tire of their sound. They definitely have the potential for great things, and they are setting the bar high with this dynamic debut album. We highly recommend you simply put this one on repeat. You will want to hear them over and over.

Review: It’s only been a few months since we reviewed her last EP, Moment of Bliss, and we are thrilled that she has returned with her latest, Delicate. She made us wait four years for Moment of Bliss, and we’re so glad that we didn’t have to wait that long for her latest blissful creation. This time around, she has five of her originals, several of which were previously recorded, as well as an amazing cover of the James Blake song “The Wilheim Scream.” She has also drafted several of the artists that she has opened for to sing on the EP, including Brandi Carlille and Ingrid Michaelson, and is currently on her own headlining tour, It is no wonder that Herzig continues to get placements on hit television shows, including 10 songs on Grey’s Anatomy. She was also recently nominated for an Emmy for her song “Morse Code,” which was written for Netflix’s The Mr. Peabody and Sherman Show. Everyone of these songs is incredible and a testament to the powerful songwriting force that Herzig has become.
Recommendation: This lady is a future superstar. Get this one ASAP!
