With his latest release, Jason Patric X reminds audiences how ferociously rock used to land its punches in Let’s Go. The down-and-dirty anthem isn’t just an earworm with hooks—it’s a viper with fangs, striking with rhythmic precision as the guitars writhe with serpentine glamour. The momentum builds with nods to Pantera and Rage Against the Machine, while the rap verses carry enough bite to give Mike Patton a run for his money. Hailing from the Bayou Country of Louisiana, Jason Patric X is no stranger to resilience. A retired Army soldier with a master’s degree from Berklee, his artistry ..read more

A&R Factory
by Amelia Vandergast
23h ago
Aching in the same vein as Elbow, Badly Drawn Boy, and Starsailor, The Secret Radio’s ‘Mockingbird’ carries the weight of nostalgia with the kind of orchestrally laced swells that sharpen the emotion without slipping into saccharine cliché. The song, taken from their debut album, Shortwave, is a testament to the enduring pull of melodic indie rock, one that transcends eras rather than leans into pastiche. The Secret Radio’s roots trace back to New York in 2006, where they played live for five years before the original members went their separate ways. While some of their early r ..read more

As meta as music gets, My Morbid Tone employs multifaceted devices to lay bare the dissonance of emotional and ideological distance.
