Lunchbox at Maximum Rock and Roll
I could easily write this off as pure sugary pop, but that would be a massive fail on my part. Sure, this record is drenched in the sweet stuff, but it’s also pretty rocking.

Knowlton Bourne at Big Takeover
Mississippi singer-songwriter Knowlton Bourne is a man desperately on the run from nothing at all. On his debut album Songs from Motel 43(Misra Records), the 23 year old constantly mulls over the bottomless threat of a “long way down.” He tackles this fear by hitting the same lonely highway taken by many a songwriter before… Continue reading Knowlton Bourne at Big Takeover
