John K. Samson – Provincial

Review — April 2, 2012

It’s already been four plus years since the last Weakerthans record. If I weren’t aging quickly myself, that would feel like a long time. While I’m not sure what’s up with their status as a band, ringleader John K. Samson set aside time in early 2011 to record his first …

John, The Void – Self Titled EP

Review — August 18, 2014

Proving that Italians can do the doomy, post-metal thing just as well as anyone else, mysterious and methodical five-piece group John, the Void’s 2014 self-titled EP (which actually runs a bit longer than what I might typically expect from an extended play) features six tracks ranging from two minute ambient …

Father John Misty – I Love You, Honeybear

Review — March 16, 2015

I saw Father John Misty in concert about two years ago. Josh Tillman sauntered onto stage in an all-white suit—wild and mustachioed—advertising the caricature of a drug-addled, disillusioned troubadour that he had created for himself.

John Frum – A Stirring in the Noos

Review — July 17, 2017

Technicality in death metal is a very common treat, and it has been present within the genre since its beginnings. Through time this idea has evolved, moving from the likes of Death and Suffocation to acts like Artificial Brain and Ulcerate. John Frum is a new entry in this …

John Prine – The Tree of Forgiveness

Review — June 25, 2018

John Prine's first album of new material in 13 years is a great place to start with the legend’s career, as it kind of covers the ground of the sometimes funny, sometimes terribly sad songs he’s known for. Working with Dave Cobb (known for producing both Jason Isbell and Chris …

Swami John Reis – Ride The Wild Night

Review — April 5, 2022

Rock ‘n’ roll is full of clichés. It pretty much has been one about 50 years now. And the many projects of Swami John Reis revel in these roots. Whether we’re talking about Rocket From The Crypt or Hot Snakes or Night Marchers, Reis has an ear for …

Water of Life - Paul John

Blog — October 1, 2019

Water of Life - Paul John   Chalk it up to the not exactly exuberant or eye-catching presentation of the bottle or the fact that when it comes to Indian whiskies, I have so far been focussed on Amrut, but unfortunately Paul John is a distillery that has …

Blog — June 7, 2020
