‘For Knows No Bounds’ by Death.wav leads us into the future.

Being true oneself is a trait that all trailblazers share. Going against the grain takes a certain brand of confidence. Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos and Kanye West are great examples of unwavering vision. Our featured artist Death.wav and his music go against the cookie cutter world of hip hop. His lyrical subject matter is personal, […]

Fearless Heart by Tokyo Tramps is Rock N Roll done their way.

What’s in a band name? Most band names are clever buzz words put together. It’s true, some monikers have no meaning whatsoever. Our featured artist’s name has a deeper meaning. Vocalist Satoru Nakagawa and Yukiko Fujii relocated from Japan to the bible belt. By chance they met in Boston and Tokyo Tramps was born. As far as […]

Koch & Kennedy take us to the other side with Music In The Afterlife.

I’m not sure when the term “dream team” was first coined. I will always associate it with the 1992 American Olympic basketball team. Now I loosely use the term anytime those who are at the top of their profession pair up. Gareth Koch and Martin Kennedy in my mind are a dream team. Both are regarded […]

Renee Ruth aims for the stars with her new self-titled EP.

Catching the music bug is a peculiar thing. However, this “bug” changes directions. Whatever drives us to go through the music business meat grinder may change over time. Most want to be famous and bask in adulation. Chasing fame and the fatigue of constant self-promo may cause artists to lose track of why they began. Taking a […]

Lovesick Anguish Ruminates in “Heartbreak Is Misery” by Brannon

Recently, I was introduced to Jonathan Brannon’s discography. For some time now, he’s been hard at work in Los Angeles. There is a collaborative spirit to Jonathan’s music. Whatever music genre he takes on, an unquestionable quality exists. An acoustic record? Sure! How about hip-hop? Why not! Always diversifying his approach, Jonathan reached out to vocal […]

War Panties bask in a “Loving Sunshine Dream”

When I think of a “party band” two bands immediately come to mind. ZZ Top and Chromeo. I always thought Chromeo and ZZ Top sharing a bill would be the ultimate event. Does Coachella take suggestions… asking for a friend? I bring this up because Louisville Kentucky natives War Panties tap into this raucous party vibe. […]

“From Dreams To Screens” LP by Brian Hutson is What Dreams Are Made Of

We all have dreams and aspirations. My guess is that Brian Hutson dreamed of show business at an early age. Singing in choir and performing in theatre was the start. Once the Hudson Valley native arrived in the big apple, it’s been full speed ahead. Endorsement deals, touring, recording is all in a day’s work. […]
