Snobby Sundays: The Sorting Hat
NO GRIDS CAN CONFINE ME. SCHEDULES TREMBLE AND BOW DOWN BEFORE ME LEST THEY BE BROKEN BENEATH MY FLIP-FLOPPED HEEL LIKE SO MANY BEFORE THEM. Here’s some thoughts on a free debut EP from 2009 that I somehow missed and just discovered a fortnight ago. No build mode. Am I hip and cool with the…

Snobby Sundays: Seven Potters
Oh thank God I said “next time” in the last article, and not “next week”. Anywho – hey there, wizard kids! Welcome back to Snobby Sundays, an occasional series where I, the Wrock Snob, introduce you to a less-famous wizard rock band that I really dig. Today, we’re looking at Seven Potters, a one-myn acoustic-focused…

Snobby Sundays: Lumos + Nox
This week, I’m going to introduce you to the best new band of 2010 you never heard about: Lumos + Nox. This two-person band from somewhere in the US, like, Ohio or one of the other boring states, jumped into the scene in early 2010 with what I regarded as a big splash – a…

Snobby Sundays: Bella’s Love

Snobby Sundays: Lord of the Strings

We hope the Wizard Rock Reviewbot 3000 suffices.] Witty introduction referencing previous article. Mention of today’s topic, Lord of the Strings. Brief history acknowledging their status as an older wizard rock band that existed for…

Welcome back to our final stop in our Wrock Tour ‘Round the World, as we look at a band from America’s Hat, also known as Canadia! Wait, if Canada is America’s Hat, then is Alaska the dumb ponytail that comes out of the back of the trucker hat? Is Alaska America’s Ponytail? DID I JUST…

Snobby Sundays: The Deluminator
After our brief stop in the US for some topical shenanigans, we continue gallivanting around the world as we take a look at a band from the place where the magic all started. Or we would, but I don’t know of any wizard rock bands from Albania. So instead, we’re gonna look at The Deluminator,…

Snobby Sundays: Happy Funtimes Edition
Hey guys, gonna do things a little differently than usual. So, I had the beginnings of a post on UK band The Deluminator all set out and was going to review that, but then… well, yesterday happened. For those not in the know, a lot of not so great things happened, across a wide variety…

Snobby Sunday’s: Luna’s Ceiling
Hey, wizard peeps! I hope you all had a good LeakyCon, to those able to attend the shindig in Portland. I am writing this on the eve of the con, so if I did anything really awkward like accidentally broke one of the drums, or vom’d on Maureen Johnson, or mistook Joe DeGeorge’s cries for…
