Conundrum
About a month ago I was at a turning point in my blogging career, I lost myself in the “hustle,” trying to make a living, and grow the website. I was focused more on the sponsored articles (which are great and I am thankful, don’t get me wrong) and I was delegating the fun artist […]
EP Review: Victory Dance – The Spectrum
Recently I’ve been a bit starved for new music. Now, I’m not saying all music released recently has been bad but nothing has particularly caught my ear. Basically, I haven’t heard a hook that has taken refuge in my head and refused to move out. Luckily I was contacted by Victory Dance, an indie pop […]
Born Cages
Jersey City has become a melting pot for New Jersey musicians. Everywhere you look there is a new up and coming band calling our city their home and Born Cages is no exception. These 3 New Jersey natives are taking full advantage of JC’s proximity to NYC in hopes to catch their break in the […]
Big Wake
We are living in a time where music is no longer just made up of guitars, drums, and bass. The explosion in popularity of EDM music and other genres rely heavily on electronics and it sometimes makes you miss the classic rock era and the bare bones stylings of bands such as The Allman Brothers […]
Forget the Whale
Herman Melville’s Moby Dick is a story heavy with an obsession so deep that in the end it brought everyone but the protagonist to their demise. Monomania revolves around a single or particular idea that eventually ends up sucking other characters in after a time. There is often so much hate involved in the obsession […]
No Honeymoon Mini-Tour
One event that I was particularly excited to cover was Brooklyn-based No Honeymoon’s mini-tour kickoff at sometimes burrito joint/most of the time venue, The Dopeness. Kicking off the show was Done, an incredibly high energy dose of indie noise rock in the vein of bands such as Unsane and Shellac. These guys set the bar […]
EP Review: Black Wail
Navigating the sea of Jersey City bands has been anything but futile; the problem is there are just too many great bands to cover! Black Wail is all about the riff, the groove and making sure that you are not only listening to their music but you are feeling it as well. Releasing their EP […]

June and the Pushas
I interviewed Junestar months ago for a post, he was one of those people who I heard about ever since starting this blog. He is crazy talented, stylish, friendly and a huge supporter of the art scene in Jersey City. While I was interviewing him he talked about his new band “June and the Pushas” […]

AVE
A few days after the Mayor Steven Fulop interview went up one of his supporters, Victor Velazquez saw it and contacted me to tell the story about his wonderful children. Victoria, Alexia, and Emmanuel are part of a Gospel turned Pop group called “Ave.” I checked out their music and they are incredibly talented! They have […]
Cicada Radio
In an attempt to cover more musical genres in the Jersey City scene, I put out on social media that I wanted to take a “hip hop” break and get on the rock n roll side of things. Upon seeing my status, Josh Bartchs, the drummer from Cicada Radio got in touch and sent me […]
Devi
I met Debra a long time ago when she started taking my hip hop classes pre-chicpeajc; Debra is small, spunky and energetic so obviously I loved her right away. Debra is also the lead singer of “Devi” a classic rock band based here in Jersey City. She reminds me so much of Joan Jett! It’s […]
