Review: This Is A Process Of A Still Life – Light
Every time I’ve been to Montana, I’ve not wanted to leave. The beauty of its pristine wilderness is breathtaking and leaves me speechless every time. Perhaps that is why the music of This Is A Process Of A Still Life works so well without vocals. Words simply can’t describe how the mountains just rise up (Read more…)

Review: The Loved Ones – Keep Your Heart (or) tonight tonight alright alright
One of my new year’s resolutions for CYSTSFTS? was to get back to my punk rock roots a little more. Last year saw me listening to a lot of indie rock and it although it was all good, it almost felt like I moved too far off course. Besides, there seem to be very few (Read more…)

Review: Firescape – Rearden’s Conscience (or) gains on the sale of plant assets
It’s midweek and I present you with the pop-rock sounds of Firescape. The band is the side project of Josh Partington, the guitarist and 2nd songwriter from So-Cal’s Something Corporate. He is the one that doesn’t sing or play piano and who (if you read the liner notes) writes their more rockin’ (read: better) songs. (Read more…)
