[From sideonedummy.com] One listen to Feast Or Famine, and it is undeniable that the deep, gruff voice that once screamed powerful punk anthems belongs to none other than Chuck Ragan. The former Hot Water Music frontman has become a musical troubadour, writing stripped-down acoustic songs that retain the same passion evident in his punk rock career. Feast or Famine, his debut studio album for SideOneDummy, beautifully captures the sound of a gifted singer/songwriter as he journeys into the next chapter of his musical life, with an acoustic guitar in hand. Harland Spinks of Synthesis [...]

Corey Bloom interviews Phat Kat. Also featured in this podcast, the tracks Nasty Aint It? and Cold Steel [From the Look Records Bio] With its mix of original, streetwise rhymes that fall somewhere in-between gangsta, conscious, and backpack, grooves that can take you from the gutter to the VIP and back, and production that innovates rather than imitates, Carte Blanche is like no Detroit album you've ever heard before. It maintains the standard for excellence set by Phat Kat's cohorts Dilla and Slum Village, but with a much more hardcore thrust. Asked what the album's [...]

An emcee that is always hard at work in the studio. Methodically perfecting his craft, so that when it's his turn to unleash his brand of hardcore hip-hop onto the world, it will surely shake the industry. A man not afraid to tell it like it is. A man fed up with the overachievers in hip-hop. A man on [...]

Given that their name is derived from childhood nicknames, it would be fair to say that Arthur & Yu know a thing or two about the process. Comprised of Seattle residents Grant Olsen and Sonya Westcott, Arthur & Yu have made an album that grapples with the idea of growing up and of letting go, creating a small space in which to drift away. With soft, layered vocals that float over [...]
