Albany New York is finally making sense to me thanks to Gay Tastee Ex Machina’s album “Ban the Bomb Trains”. On this tape you’ll hear some tubular experimental rock metallic blues in natural essence.

In times like 2025, 2022 seems like long ago, but this album will remain in the eyes and ears of those who listen. I recommend this album while you are in practice against corruption and be sure to wear headphones. Listen here .  More Gay Tastee Ex Machina

  Whip Appeal can be described as american freight train wreck country music with the paranoid, lonely and outsider class. Stumbling upon this band will remind you of crate digging for vhs tapes in the record store, or all of the forgotten flea markets and shows in your town where nothing happens much anymore.  Whip Appeal has been a personal favorite former Massachusetts band of mine and with releases like Cut Flowers being graced from unknown land you can’t blame me. Their style of somber country intertwined with folk and rock and roll is a pure blend of classic you can’t miss out on.

Image
  Dome Lettuce is a rapper and producer from Western Massachusetts and will engage in disorientation based flow with poignant beats that inspire me to delve into large amounts of library music and jazz. Which is something many such as myself forget to do unless I listen to musicians like Dome Lettice. The greatest part of this album is that the lyricism is also very avant garde approach to rap that is based on growth, flourishment, being cool, herbalism, wordplay, mischief, tomfoolery and many other themes will introduce themselves in this album.  Despite the fun loving nature of Not Labeled For Individual Sale the record has moments of earnestly experimental scenes in the delivery and instrumentals of Dome Lettuce.
