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…

Review: What Is Your Bag (to the tune of “Here Comes Your Man”)
Ludo Bagman and the Trash released their first album this past July, under an inventive new genre: BAG ROCK. Don’t bag it till you try it, folks. The album itself is a mixed bag of styles and instrumentations. It opens with “Song From Ludo’s Mom,” which is my tied-for-first-place favorite cover of a Katy Perry…

Editor’s Note: Content on the ‘pedia has been a bit light this year due to staffer schedules and responsibilities, however that certainly doesn’t mean that there hasn’t been any news or releases on the wizard rock front! In fact, this year has seen a number of album and EP releases from bands new and old,…

Buy Wizard Rock, Help Support the ACLU!
Tomorrow, Bandcamp (home of countless wizard rock albums) will be donating 100% of their proceeds to the ACLU. Unless you’ve been living under a rock (and to be honest, with all that’s been going on here in the US we wouldn’t blame you if you were) you understand just how important the ACLU is going…

Unexpected Wrock – Grimgotts “Extenditus Playus” EP
On one of my usual excursions through Bandcamp to find wizard rock releases I may have missed out on, I stumbled upon Grimgotts. I immediately cottoned on to their name, and seeing that they also were tagged “power metal” and “epic metal”, my interest needle spiked up into the red. I’ve been a power metal…
