88.5 KURE

Let’s just say that Queens Of the Stone Age made an amazing (and quite charming!) band after a break in touring. Since 2009, Mini Mansions has been rockin’ socks off for audiences across the world. Their newest album, “Guy Walks Into A Bar…”, is no exception. Here’s my take on MM’s newest release:

Overall, I can’t say Black a horrible album. Like I said before, Rivers has some good performances, and throughout the album you can tell he puts some effort into his singing, but meanwhile the music overall just isn’t that groundbreaking or interesting. I would say to try giving it one listen and see how you feel about it after. Pretty much just a mediocre album in the end. But hey, I’m just being honest.

Diane Coffee and opener, The Minks, performed an awesome intimate show at the Triple Crown Whiskey Bar in Davenport, IA. “Internet Arms” is out now, and the live performance of their newest album did not disappoint!

DeMarco continues moving away from the dreamy sound that has come to define him. The influences of “This Old Dog” are heard clearly on his new release, with many of the songs featured much more honest instrumentation and stripped back songs compared to much of his earlier work. In fact, you could say that the approach of this album is almost too simple at times.

All the hype and anticipations for this year’s Hinterland Music Festival
