L.A. VanGogh Releases Multi-Faceted Full Length, ‘Drawback’
Over THREE years ago I put together an artist spotlight on L.A. VanGogh, an artist that continues to progress and innovate.

Joshua’s ‘Geronimo’ & ’11:11′ Show The Beauty of Experimentation
Listening to Joshua. for the first time is exciting, confusing, and compelling. In two songs flat, the South Carolinian has re-introduced me to how far music can truly be pushed.
