The Wizrocklopedia is Back!
Hey you wizard rockers and wrock fans! As you might have noticed from the Staff page, the Wizrocklopedia has added some new faces. Much like wizard rock itself, the ‘pedia has evolved a lot over the years and we’re excited to be part of the next stage. We’re hard at work behind the scenes to…

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. TK wanted to give the wizard rock community more diverse representation through this album, and I’d argue…

Review: Totally Knuts: “Pan Magic”
Totally Knuts’ “Pan Magic” EP isn’t the band’s first official release (stay tuned for our review of their full-length album, “Fresh, Spooky, & Queer”) but it is an excellent preview of what the band has to offer. Let’s get started! The EP opens with a delightful anthem for Luna: “Being Me.” This song emphasizes Luna’s…

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,…

Review: americanquidditch demos
This Name Your Price wizard rock EP comes to us from Cincinnati, Ohio’s This Is My Nightmare (seriously, there’s a lot of wizard rock in Ohio). The project appears to be a solo act, with all of the songs (along with their other non-wrock releases) being just a single voice and acoustic guitar. Fans of…
