The Album Review: Releasing her sophmore album, country singer Tonya Kennedy, is ready to once again blast onto country radio with a new album of very radio friendly songs. Upon listening to the album a few times I haven’t heard a song on the album I couldn’t hear on the radio today filled with some [...]

Kylee Epp is from the small town of Qualicum Beach, in British Columbia. At an early age she was already known around town and sang and performed whenever she could singing national anthems at school assemblies, hockey games and baseball tournaments and by 15 was playing in local bars with her band. Kylee recently released [...]
Right from the first track of Overexposed it gives you a pretty clear idea of what to expect out of it, extremely radio-friendly pop music, that seems a bit overworked. That said this is not a bad album, it’s not, it’s a solid album that will spawn chart friendly hits (and already has) that will keep Maroon [...]

Posted: 22nd June 2012 by refrainmusic in Albums, Concerts, InterviewsAlbum Review: If Chris Kirby doesn’t manage to get you grooving or at least tapping your toe with “Wonderizer”, in my humble opinion, you have no soul (musically that is).

Five years ago we were all introduced to Chris Daughtry via American Idol, we were all shocked when he was evicted from the idol island way too soon, but soon were thankful that he was because then he could make the music he was meant to make not influenced by the ‘pop’ machine. He then [...]
This album is what I like to refer to as ‘blue collar’ and based on the songs and the lyrics I really don’t think Eric Church would take issue with that. Back with his third album titled “Chief” (named after his grandfather) he is singing about down home relatable topics, combined with strong lyrics, and [...]
Red Hot Chili Peppers – I’m With You…Album Review
Posted: 2nd September 2011 by refrainmusic in AlbumsI was quite excited when I first heard of a new ‘Peppers’ cd after roughly five years, but the departure of long time guitarist and writer John Frusciante and the entrance of youthful Josh Klinghoffer made me nervous, I wish I could say I was wrong. Frusciante was an integral part of the Chili’s sound [...]
Right off the bat I have to say that I love this album and I try and write as unbiased as I possibly can, but this is a really good album. Right from the get go with the first hit song “Misery”, this Mutt Lange produced album (Def Leppard, Shania Twain, AC/DC), to the [...]
Hawaii born singer/songwriter/producer Bruno Mars (real name: Peter Hernandez) seems to have his hand in a plethora of hit songs today while his own melodic hits rise to the top of the charts. We all got our first major glimpse of Mars on B.o.B.’s hit “Nothin’ On You” and Travie McCoy’s “Billionaire” (both of which [...]
