As of late, I have been revisiting my love affair with the sublime tunage of St. Louis' Riddle of Steel (RIP). This power trio wrote fantastic, inspirational, feel-good yet edgy songs that each told their own unique melodic story, and it's continually a pleasure to re-spin both of the two albums I have of theirs.

Yesterdays featured the top 10 albums from The Album Project and tomorrows list will be provided by Can You See the Sunset? . For anyone wishing to see any of the previous [...]

I Am Forever is the fifth full-length from Midwestern rock staples Traindodge and marks yet another large shift to the bands sound. It’s pretty amazing to go back roughly ten years and notice just how much the band has evolved and grown over that period of time. Starting out as a band that clearly was enamored by the sound of Giants Chair and Molly McGuire over their first couple of records, they’ve since grown into something that clearly can be claimed as their own distinctive [...]
