The Satin Dollz: Pinup Revolution

Read "Pinup Revolution" reviewed by Nicholas F. Mondello

by Nicholas F. Mondello

Classic music. It is something that withstands the test of time and gains resonance—and perhaps audiences—in doing so. This recording revisits the mid-20th Century swing canon, from before and during World War II, before the Spotifys, Elvis, Beatles, et al. Pin Up Revolution, a debut recording presented by The Satin Dollz, pays tribute to that musically ...

This music is so properly presented, it has all the elements of composed music. To acknowledge these eight tracks as instant composing is sort of mind-blowing. Those immersed ...

Vince Tampio: Adult Children

Read "Adult Children" reviewed by Geno Thackara

by Geno Thackara

At first glance, it's unclear whether Vince Tampio wants to imply something optimistic or dystopian with the strange cityscape on the cover of Adult Children (and with the title, for that matter). As a reflection of some strange times, such a striking image has plenty of room for interpretations positive and negative. It also could not ...

Read "Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas" reviewed by C. Michael Bailey
