Brandon Backhaus
Brandon Backhaus has been asleep at the wheel for a decade. He just woke up smashed in a roadside ditch surrounded my empty Mike's Hard Lemonade bottles, and Ragga Jungle mixtapes. And after taking stock, has decided to hitchhike back to life, pausing only to belt out the occasional, "It's the Final Countdown", masturbate, and be mouth-raped by Cap't Crunch.
Album Review
Thunderbitch - Thunderbitch
Brandon Backhaus | October 4, 2015
I was watching this new Rubble Kings documentary on Netflix. It's almost like a prequel to Crush Groove and Beat Street and Wild Style, taking you into the true story of New York gangs in the 1970s. Such gangs provided the...

One Song: gutter$nipes$ - DOUBLEBAGGED
Brandon Backhaus | September 24, 2015
One of our favorite production duos and fine cheese connoisseurs, Morbidly-O-Beats and Hoot are gutter$nipe$. Their first single is "DOUBLEBAGGED". It's like Peewee Herman jackin it in the back of a XXX short...

Milo - So The Flies Don't Come
Brandon Backhaus | September 23, 2015
How things change.
Milo first came to us at Syffal like so many other artists, bundled from the cold, shivering, teeth chattering lyrics, feverishly rapping at our email's back door.
And now, I basically begged him for a chance to review...

World Premiere: Walter Gross - Fade to Facts
Brandon Backhaus | September 21, 2015
WORLD PREMIERE:
Popular music these days is so pleasant.
I tend to fall into one of two lines of thinking as to why. There are the baser aspects of my soul that lean towards music's pleasantness being sprayed down from the heavens like some form of chemical...
Album Review
emmanuel fade - unflood
Brandon Backhaus | September 17, 2015
I chilled. Listening to my kids play Splatoon and Super Mario chess simultaneously with the neighbor kid. I hid in my room. Them occupied. Me occupying the time before I would commandeer the living room. As much as I am nothing like the American man, I am an...
Album Review
Lapa - Meeting of the Waters
Brandon Backhaus | September 15, 2015
Today has been surreal. So much happened in one night. Universes colliding. Rubber bands snapping back. Waves crashing only to be sucked back out to sea to gather the momentum to crash all over again in an endless succession of natural forces. Magnets....

The Growlers - Chinese Fountain
Brandon Backhaus | September 13, 2015
Weirdly nostalgic and forward-thinking pretty boys holding hands in the present.
The Growlers are a band I FUCKING LOVE but am too old to properly support. The one time I went to Beach Goth (Beach...

Gregory Pepper & His Problems - Come By It Honestly
Brandon Backhaus | September 9, 2015
There nothing I can say that Gregory Pepper can't say better. I rarely use the word genius. But Gregory Pepper's particular brand of bite has provided sheer genius moments in music the last...

Henry Canyons - C'est La Vie
Brandon Backhaus | September 7, 2015
Some people are just cool. Like no matter what they wear. No matter how they act. No matter who they kick it with. No matter where they are. No matter what language they speak. No matter. Just cool.
Henry Canyons is one cool human being in...
