Sister Helen is an aural onslaught of creative indie punk rock juices but the band’s sound refuses to follow any cliche patterns your ears might be used to. Hailing partly from Brooklyn, NY and partly from Hell’s Kitchen, the band’s bio aptly states: Sister Helen signifies a third way for modern rock music: neither to […]

Sonic Nights gets “Back In My Head”
For some reason, I’m trying to come down on Sonic Nights’ ep “Mirrors”, but I can’t bring myself to do it. Perhaps it’s just a good record that’s aimed at a different market than I was in the mood for on first listen. Maybe it’s that the production is just incredibly good for an indie […]
