Heavy Buys

In years past, we’ve tried our hand at a column whereby staff were able to discuss physical media in its various forms and any other music-related purchases, and that was Heavy Buys. The column was used sporadically, but we felt that it was time to bring it back for 2021.

Columns, Rotten to the Core

It’s been a year since we last spoke. January and February felt like a full year, right? The last thing I remember was spending a week holed up writing blurbs about bands like END and Clown Core and now we’re here. 2021 is proving to be no different than its ... Read More...
