Review: Vypers – Vypers
One should leave while the going is good. The good news is that we finally get an LP from the Vypers. The bad news? It marks the end of the band. We have plenty of fond memories, especially their Champion 100 EP. In recent years, however, the Canadian group had…

Review: Germinator – Germinator
What began as a bedroom project during the COVID-19 pandemic has evolved into Germinator, a band now presenting their self-titled debut album. Entirely DIY, yet far from LoFi.
