They’re far from the lone attribute giving Nocturnal Youth its rock n’ roll core, but if you’re looking for the bread and butter of the new EP from Pistols at Dawn, you needn’t search any further than the dominant riffing we find everywhere in all four of the songs this record features. Led by star single “Crown,” Nocturnal

Thank you for chatting with us today! 2021 is finally here – what do you hope this year has in store for you? Jahleel: “A lot of fun and a lot of auditions” Are you feeling motivated in this new year? If so, what are you doing to keep that up? Egypt: “ well I’m
After hearing Get Hammered, your answer to the question, “who is your favorite Cow Punk band?” is destined to be, Jesse And The Hogg Bros. The Texas based band has taken a glistening genre, and given it a more robust identity. Their new full length EP, the aforementioned, Get Hammered, has every right to be
A slow, somber piano and strings begin to play as a bass creeps in and kicks up the tempo. Suddenly, horns flare and the laidback song you thought you were a few steps ahead of kicks itself up by about five gears, sweeping you off your feet — with Love & Conflict’s first track “Glamour
“Yesterday’s News” kicks off Rob Alexander’s third album Dream Out Loud with an irrepressible bounce. It has an inviting mood, without question, but some may be dissatisfied with the brittle slashing guitar chords, but I believe it dovetails into the song’s overall demeanor. Alexander’s vocal tone has its own unique flavor unlike many in modern pop music
Sam Green and the Time Machine’s creative run between the years 2013 and 2018 is nearly unrivaled in modern music. He maintained a release schedule during that time often dwarfing the existing catalogs of bands with multi-decade histories with five emerging during 2013 and three during the years 2017 and 2018. These are not brief
Where was the first place you ever performed with Water Tower? The first place we ever performed was at a dive bar in Portland, OR called “Slabtown”. The person who “booked” us had seen busking outside of a convenient store downtown. He paid us in weed and salvia and apparently the check he promised is
‘Jab the world’ is being played everywhere. What’s the recipe behind your fresh sound and approach? I am grateful to the multitude of radio stations in the US, Europe and many places in the world playing the song and for listeners requesting it. Lyrically, Jab The World has hit home as it has an optimistic
“Like a Virgin, come and talk to me. It’s not me, it’s you I like.” The opening line of Heistheartist’s EP The Book of Mary echoes across the track and bounces over a beat one might expect to hear in the bar or nightclub before ever getting play in a church. This very approach bears
Raquel Kiaraa is almost intimidatingly impressive. A true multihyphenate artist in her own right, this singer/songwriter/actress/coach/poet has had her hands in what seems like a little of everything. At 32 deciding to try her hand at singing and learning piano and a way to integrate her natural skills as a poet into their next logical
Ladies and gentlemen, Mac is back! Hughie Mac, known for his comprehensive albums of familiar standards, classics, and hits all titled some variant of “Sings Some Great Songs,” returns to the frontlines of classy music covers with his fourth stab at the concept. Standing tall at a whopping seventy-minute runtime, Hughie Mac Sings Some Great
What has been the highlight of 2021 so far? Today I was interviewed on my hometown news station Living East Tennessee the tv show. It meant so much to me because growing up all I wanted was for people in my hometown to understand my vision for myself. In the past I was too shy to
(POULSBO, WA.) “MERMAID – A DREAM MADE REAL” is a 150 page picture book featuring professional Mermaid Aura Stiers “The Swashbuckling Mermaid” based out of Poulsbo, WA. THE SWASHBUCKLING MERMAID: Mermaid Aura is also nicknamed The Swashbuckling Mermaid as she is a SCA Rapier fighter who enjoys a good melee every now and then. THE
Conceptz have seemingly captured lightning in a bottle, once again, on their new single, “Drippin And Drownin.” Though the song is slightly out of the box, it is incredibly well arranged, and MC, HighRowGlyphFix, once again delivers a stellar performance. Conceptz make cerebral Hip Hop, that is cleverly formatted to showcase the exceptional skills of
Few things distinguish the success of Vineet’s new single “Jab the World” than its impressive placement on the Digital Radio Tracker Top 50 Rock Airplay Chart. Reaching number twelve as of current writing outpaces current releases from other musical luminaries such as Greta Van Fleet, Slipknot’s lead singer Corey Taylor, and System of a Down,
What was a childhood dream of yours? A childhood dream of mine was to perform in musicals, I love theatre! I wanted to do everything, sing, dance, and design, perform….. work at Disney! Who do you turn to when you need someone most? That’s easy my mom! I can always count on her advice whether
What was a childhood dream of yours? I had an incredibly overactive imagination, so there were a lot of them! My biggest ambition was probably an astronaut or pilot. I wanted to fly, and it’s still a bucket-list goal of mine. Who do you turn to when you need someone most? My mom. I was
Hi 2 Four! Thanks for being here today! Thank you for having me! Is it harder to write or produce a song? I’ve done both and both are fairly difficult but songwriting is a beast. There is a reason most mainstream songs have multiple writers and some of your favorites don’t even write. I think
Y’all are so talented and cool! More music soon? Thank you and thank you so much for hosting this interview! More music is in the works for sure. We’re working on a couple singles which will come out this year alongside some music videos. We’re also working on our first full length album which will come out
Good grooves, solid rhymes and a generally chill vibe that carries from one melodic backing track to the next. What more do you need in a contemporary hip-hop debut? If you’re DICI, the answer – quite literally – is nothing else, and he shows us this without hesitation in his self-titled greenhorn EP. Comprised of
Des Cox doesn’t necessarily like doing things the easy way, and if this weren’t true I doubt he would have gone about making his new single, a cover of “Are You Lonesome Tonight,” as detailed as he did. It’s easy to play a cover tune before a rambunctious audience as a means of segueing into
Hi Olivia! Thanks for being here!! Do you have a favorite holiday song? Of my own would be my latest Christmas song “Secret Santa” and from someone else would be “This Christmas” by Chris Brown! If you could choose anyone to make you dinner, who would it be and why? Probably my brother! He’s a great
Working what feels like a top-heavy synth pop track into an industrial but undeniably psychedelic-tinged rap song that could pass for club music might sound like a tall order for most artists, but for HEwas and Afroman, it would appear all too easy in their new collaborative single “Wholething.” Although steeped in much of the
In today’s fast-paced world, the most provocative individuals among us tend to be the multi-hyphenates, and in the case of author-motivator-model-entrepreneur-actress (and proud New Yorker) Sharon “Champagne” Terry, covering all the bases has never been optional. Champagne’s most recent work, a pair of urban fiction releases in The Goddess of Lust, Love & Infatuation Part 1 and Blissful
Hi Beth! Thank you for being here! We are obsessed with your fashion style! How do you stay so current? Well, thank you! I stay current through watching runway shows, attending music festivals, and, most importantly, staying creative in my fashion. What do you think goes into the perfect outfit? I’m very much a “dress from
Set to a chicken-pickin’ melody that quickly finds a rock n’ roll-inspired groove to get in front of, “That Right There” from Russ Still and the Moonshiners isn’t the first fiery melodic country song to have caught my attention this autumn, but it’s one of the few to have been sourced from a purely independent
Thank you for doing our interview! Tell our readers more about how you got started and where you are located! Thanks so much for inviting me to interview! I’m excited for my recent album. It’s available on all streaming platforms 9/25. I got started in performance and singing when I was really young. I started through
2020 has been a crazy year without question, but it’s also been a year in which we’ve seen one of the better summers for indie pop fans collectively experienced in the new millennium. Amidst a season of pure isolation for most of the world’s recording artists, incredible material has begun to come out of the
Fast, furious and packing far more of a sonic punch than most anything I’ve heard out of the mainstream lately, Jupiter in Velvet’s “Not Again” is definitely one of the more brutish moments to behold in Punk Goes the Velvet, but I wouldn’t say it’s the lone track sporting some muscle in this latest EP from
Who or what is the “Invisible Stranger?” For that Matter who and what are The PondHawks? An indie group out of Chicago, The PondHawks are one of music’s best kept secret treasures. Their release of “Invisible Stranger” serves to make them even more valuable to the music industry as well as to the history of
