Lovebirds by Birds Flying Backwards
‘Lovebirds’ by Birds Flying Backwards has been out for a second but such a good release I had to get ya a heads up about it if you didn’t already know. This six-piece London-based alt-country band put together a delightfully sunny, 70s-style, indie-folk rockin’ with some slightly jammy kinda stuff that makes for a solid […]
Ghosts Of The Past EP by The Daniel James Gang
Daniel James has been a good friend to us here at OKR over the years, and when he hit me up on Insta about this new EP, I was like, hell yeah… let’s go!! This four-song EP called ‘Ghosts of the Past‘ is a power-poppin’… trashy garage rockin’ ripper from start to finish… three originals […]
Target Practice by Pardoner
‘Target Practice‘, the fifth release from the San Francisco outfit Pardoner, was brought to my attention by my buddy Sam while I was cleaning the green room at Cactus Club.

Nature’s Pill by Wishy
Having grown up in Indiana years ago before escaping to Chicago in the 90s, I have always enjoyed hearing about great music coming from the state… whether it be from Bloomington, Lafayette, or, in this case, Indianapolis, with the band Wishy. I spoke with my buddy Sam at Cactus Club one night, and he told […]
At Least You Know What You’re Laughing At by Gash
Eau Claire is a very cool city here in Wisconsin. Xtine and I rolled through there on a road trip a couple of years back, mostly because my bladder was about to explode and we needed some snacks for our drive to Bessimer, MI. Wasn’t sure what to expect, other than maybe running into someone […]

Here comes their new release, Melodie, that just came out earlier this month…. Slow Pulp just keeps getting […]
Welcome to 20 Something by Reva K
Every once in a while, I have to take a break from all those hardcore, power-pop, emo, punk, indie, experimental/noise rock, etc. releases you’ve been sending me messages to review lately here at OKR, and review something from an up-and-coming artist you should know about. In this case, it’s Reva K who got a hold […]
