Until a month ago, I had never heard of band Ranj Singh and The Discriminators. But when Singh contacted me to review their newly released debut album, “Found A Way Home,” I felt very lucky. For the first time in a long while, I realized that I was literally listening to  — and almost touching — the “soul” of an artist.   

There was a time, not so long ago, when the Internet, CDs and DVDs did not exist yet. LPs, singles and cassette tapes were all the rage. It was a time when rock ’n’ roll — garage rock, in particular — was simply raw, fun and intoxicating, and seemed unstoppable.

Do you miss that era? If so, I have great news for you! Danny Echo is bringing that good old sound back. The members of the band know their classics. They sound like a mixture of AC/DC, Mötley Crüe, Alice Cooper, and Pink Floyd, with some personal uniqueness thrown in the mix. And there is even an unmissable Irish flavor at times.

When Stephen Jerome Ferguson contacted me for a potential review of his album, titled "We Are One," I felt instantly drawn towards his unassuming approach. And upon hearing the first song on his Reverbnation profile, I knew there was something definitely worth paying attention to. And I am glad that I took on the assignment.
