Review: Totally Knuts: “Fresh, Spooky, & Queer”
“Fresh, Spooky, & Queer” is Totally Knuts’ first wizard rock album. As the recipient of a Yes All Witches Grant (video of the announcement here!), TK was able to put out this album using new recording software and microphones.

Review: Totally Knuts: “Pan Magic”

Review: [Explicit] MC Gryf: Witches Ain’t Shit
Note: This EP is not remotely safe for work or sensitive ears. MC Gryf asserts himself from the very first verse of “Where My Mudbloods At?”: “I been writin’ rhymes since Albus Dumbledore bit the dust.” This first entry on his “Witches Ain’t Shit” EP is an aggressive one, with MC Gryf talking shit on Slytherin…

Review: Nevertheless, I Persisted (Myrtle Elizabeth Warren) – The Moaning Myrtles
The last time the Moaning Myrtles put out a full-length album, we were still waiting on three more Harry Potter movies. The last time they toured, we were barely into this decade. Needless to say, it was a pleasant surprise when I found out that Lauren and Nina decided to play not one, not two,…
