Album Review: Lunar Twin – Ghost Moon Ritual
For a duo with members in Hawaii and Utah, Lunar Twin have perfectly captured a glacial Arctic chill with deep dark gothic trimmings in their glorious album ‘Ghost Moon Ritual’.

Album Review: R.A. The Rugged Man – All my heroes are dead
R.A. The Rugged Man, the rap moniker and alter-ego of Long Island, New York native R.A. Thorburn, is the kind of guy who arrives early to a party, and leaves late. He drinks too much and pukes in the bathroom. When no one is looking, he jerks off in the punch and then giggles in …
