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
Origins: Singers and Songs that Made Me is the latest solo release from former Chicago bassist and vocalist Jeff Coffey. The album’s fourteen songs are covers from a wide spectrum of artists who Coffey has admired over the course of his life, but these are reverential treatments akin to pinning butterflies under glass. Coffey, instead, brings
West coast rap has evolved a lot in the last thirty years, but in some ways, it hasn’t changed at all. Take for instance the attitude exuded by its most exciting players – whether we’re talking 1991 or 2020, there’s a swagger that puts Los Angeles-based rappers like OG Cuicide in a league of their
Wild Fire’s “Damaged (But We Still Work)’ is a thoughtful musical reminder of the pervasive and often destructive power social media and celebrity culture exert on our daily lives. It’s a natural subject for two young women to explore; Kayla and Kelli Iutzwig are up to the task. They perform under the name Wild Fire
Elz Bentley’s latest release “Buddha” comes with a matching music video further reinforcing the song’s potential impact. It’s a hallmark of Bentley’s career, thus far, that he pairs each new release with complementary visual material bursting with the same inspiration and skill heard in the song. It wraps its arms around the same urban imagery
“Relationship” is the new single from Danish singer Arina Mai. Proving once again she sings with passion, Mai’s words glide from her voice as if they were straight from her heart. Like a balm to a bad abrasion, Mai’s soothing voice is no match for the unsettled and sporadic music bed. Exciting as it is,
It’s evident from just a few Facebook posts that musician and artist Manny Cabo is an upbeat, positive guy. He’s also always on the move. The former The Voice Season Nine contestant and rocker is back again with his latest single, “All Night Again”. The powerhouse vocalist assures the listener that his emotion is more
Country fans have been leaning on the genre a lot in 2020, and as periods of great strife tend to teach us, few mediums are as medicinal as music is in times like these. In his new single “Two Lane Airplane,” country artist Gary Burk III is steering clear of negativity and downtrodden dirges and
Supple and smoothly applied to the blank canvas afforded by silence in the backdrop, the strings we initially make contact with in Jeffrey Li’s debut single “Anniversary” are a masterfully melodic element to say the least. A near-perfect complement to Li’s stunningly warm lead vocal, this textured component of a much grander harmony is far
In his new extended play, titled Insane, Tom Tikka & The Missing Hubcaps put their artistic narrative on the line for everyone to appreciate, and I must say, it’s one that feels rather refreshing this summer. Although rock has been struggling to stay relevant in the past few years, there isn’t any retrospection on Tikka’s part
If you have never heard Paul Mark before listening to Gravity, this album asks you to make important decisions from the outset. It is true Mark’s work exists well within the wheelhouse of the singer/songwriter genre, but his performance moves in the realm of artists like Leonard Cohen, Tom Waits, and some Bob Dylan rather than
