There comes a time in every person’s life- I believe- where they have to admit that music does not need vocals/words to be good. You can go all the way back to classical music if you really want to, but if you prefer to stay closer to the present then I suggest not looking… Continue reading deardarkhead at Raised by Gypsies

Great Lakes at Raised by Gyspies
As someone who listens to a lot of music, I can tell you that sometimes music should be simple. It should be all that appears on the surface. Now, many times that might seem like something you don’t want to hear in music and I agree, for the most part it is not.… Continue reading Great Lakes at Raised by Gyspies
Halfsour at Raised by Gypsies
If you’re Halfsour, what does that make the other half of you– sweet? Or is this one of those glass half empty/glass half full type of deals? While I have no answers to these questions I will say that if you should happen to name your band Halfsweet I think you should totally go… Continue reading Halfsour at Raised by Gypsies
Eureka California at Raised by Gypsies
There are a number of ways to describe the music of Eureka California, some of which I have used already in previous reviews. Eureka California is loud. It is music which feels like you could hear it through your walls if your neighbor is playing it, you know. But it’s something more… Continue reading Eureka California at Raised by Gypsies
Witching Waves at Raised by Gypsies
I first heard Witching Waves because of a split cassette they did with As Ondas. I remember this split cassette because not only did I really enjoy it but because someone randomly sent me a message on SoundCloud asking to buy it from me. If I recall, the potential buyer didn’t live in the… Continue reading Witching Waves at Raised by Gypsies
Animal Daydream at Raised by Gypsies
“Citrus” is an EP I wasn’t really sure how to feel about at first. Over the course of four songs (which isn’t as much as it even sounds like even though these songs are fairly long) Animal Daydream brings out a psychedelic upbeat sound. It’s somewhere between Blue Oyster Cult and Cream with… Continue reading Animal Daydream at Raised by Gypsies
Mark Van Hoen at Raised By Gypsies
It doesn’t take a lot of musical knowledge or technical terms in your head to have heard music been referred to as created by composers before, but I truly feel as if Mark Van Hoen takes the term “composer” to a whole new level. Every song is, essentially, composed by someone but not every… Continue reading Mark Van Hoen at Raised By Gypsies
SPC ECO at Raised by Gypsies
The first time that I listened to “DARK MATTER” we were driving in the car, the three of us, on our way to our first hockey game. We were technically on our way to Springfield, MA but we drove past it to go up to the Holyoke Mall first. There aren’t… Continue reading SPC ECO at Raised by Gypsies
Noon:30 at Raised by Gypsies
If you’ve never said “Noon:30” before then you probably have never talked to me in real life. Yes, I like to say that because it’s not just funny but it sort of just works, you know? And a lot of what I like about that idea of time is also what I like… Continue reading Noon:30 at Raised by Gypsies
Static Daydream at Raised by Gypsies
The music of Static Daydream is instantly loud and full of distortion. If you think of the distortion levels as being like a water faucet these are set to full throttle here and there is very little signs of them stopping. When you hear the distortion as well- this loudness that goes throughout… Continue reading Static Daydream at Raised by Gypsies
