Album Review: “Wizard Rock” by Pottörhead
January brought us a new year, and with it a new release from a brand new band – Germany’s Pottörhead dropped their debut album “Wizard Rock” on us all just a few days into 2018. When we happened to stumble across one of their introductory videos on Twitter, we knew that we had to get…

Review: Shauna Carrick “Songs from Hogwarts” EP
Ireland has long been a welcoming home to fantastic wizard rock (hello, Romilda Vane and the Chocolate Cauldrons!) and they’ve gifted us with another amazingly talented musician – Shauna Carrick. Shauna recently released her first EP on Bandcamp, “Songs from Hogwarts” in November, and it’s comprised of 5 quick but fun tunes that will be…

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: 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…

Announcing the Wizrocklopedia Music Archive
One ongoing topic within the wizard rock community the past few years has revolved around older music, and its lack of availability. With MySpace fading away, and changes they made a few years back to wipe out a lot of features and available music, it’s been tougher to (legally) find older music from bands that…

Album Review – Mudblud “Snitches Get Witches” EP
Mudblud first burst onto the wizard rock scene roughly a year ago with a slightly different name (The Mudbluds, which sparked just a tiny bit of confusion with some fans) and a whole lot of volume. Their 2015 debut EP “Wizard Rock Is Not Dead” kicked out 4 songs in a grand total of just…

Album Review: Muggle Born “Potions Class”
Wizard rock has always had a world wide reach, with bands reporting in from all over the globe. Australia’s certainly no exception to that, and has delivered another great wrock band in Muggle Born. And let me tell you this – they certainly bring the ROCK to wizard rock! Although their first EP “Potions Class“…
