CJAM Album Review: Contexture: Gods, Men and the Infinite Cosmos

Posted on by Walter Petrichyn

Written by Aiden Russell (CJAM Staff) I wish that Broadway had a more successful career. Misha Camacho is an amazing singer. Felipe Sanchez’s lead riffs and Sean Conners’ rhythm guitars together created something really special. They’ve had a bit of an odd career. Their first album, Kingdoms, was a heavy metalcore album.

CJAM Album Review: Afterglow

Posted on by Walter Petrichyn

CJAM Album Review: Crest

Posted on by Walter Petrichyn

Written by Aiden Russell (CJAM Staff) Bladee and Ecco2k’s collaborative album, Crest, is my personal favorite album from either artist. Both Bladee and Ecco have had very versatile careers.

Upon my initial listen to this album, I did not enjoy it very much. But I have found that the more I listen to the album, the more I enjoy it. This album […]

It’s unbearably hot outside, you get sweaty just from standing, and everything is on fire. It’s summer, and it won’t be for much longer.
