A little slice of Americana right there in your stereo, albeit one that’s dimly lit and sorrowful.Elm Street by Lanterna (Review)

If gothic music lived up to it’s name this is what it would sound like.Love Ambition Demo by Matt Easton (Review)
Easton isn’t doing anything mind-blowing here. He’s just very adept at penning good songs, musically and lyrically.
