Slightly aggressive but wholly tempered in every way that matters, the short, sweet, and surprisingly haunting instrumental introduction that we encounter only instants after pressing play on the new single from Taydem Shoesmith, “Are You Clapping?,” doesn’t last any longer than ten seconds, but despite the briefness of its appearance, it impresses a strong emotionality

Hello The BRKN! Great to speak with you today! What have you been working on lately? Hello! Thank you so much for having me! This is Jacob Cade the singer of The BRKN. Lately we’ve been working on new material to put out early 2023. We want to release another EP with a bit more
When did you make up your mind that you wanted to be a musician? darcy: i’ve always wanted to be a musician, not gonna lie. I honestly don’t think I could see myself doing anything else nate: my brain has always been the creative type, whether i be putting that into engineering and robotics or
For a lot of critics, myself included, it’s lately been feeling like everybody wants to make southern music great again, whether it be by incorporating alternative-style frills to its framework or expanding on the genre’s imagery by adding elements of 21st-century prose into its classical style of storytelling. Despite this, I get the idea that
2022 produced some interesting guitar-powered alternative pop/rock, but if you are following the underground at the start of this new year, there’s a good chance you will hear – at one point or another – a little of The One Tonic’s new single “We Can’t Fail,” as it undeniably got a lot of buzz-worthy attention
Hard rock and metal are intricately connected, but when they’re driven by a melodic center, they rope into the realm of pop rather seamlessly – as is demonstrated so well in the new single “Soul Shredding” from Proof of Life. While these guys are certifiably underground, the way they attack the riff in this track
When you’ve done something regrettable and you feel like there’s no fixing it, you might be inspired to take a minute to recollect your thoughts. If you have experience in poetry, you might be prompted to get your feelings out on paper, putting the emotions into prose, and eventually, if you’re a musician, you’ll want
Haley Dreis is back with an album for the first time since 2018, with her latest EP 20/20 releasing in late 2020 — this time, it’s Cozy Christmas, her take on a Christmas album, and fans are in for a treat. Tackling some old Christmas throwbacks as well as some Haley Dreis originals and even
Ryan Dart’s music encompasses the worlds that he lives in. You can’t sing about needing rain, unless you really know what it means to need rain. As a grandson of the dust bowl and a steward of the land, Dart’s unique blend of modern knowledge and continual search for forgotten truths has led to this
With lyrics frequently as stormy as the tone of the music behind them, it should be obvious from the jump that eccentricities are a big part of the new album from the mind of Chris McCooey, Missing Pieces. What isn’t initially made clear to us in the record’s instrumental construct and foundational verses is just how
How would you classify your music? Instrumental Spooky Surf/Hard Rock. Who are some of your top 5 musical influences? That’s always evolving so it’s hard to narrow it down. For today, I’ll go with Alice Cooper, Queen, Van Halen, The B52’s, Paul Gilbert, and more recently, Unlucky Morpheous. What do you want fans to take
The Brkn is an alt pop band based out of Denver, CO. With your latest music, what has inspired you to innovate differently? For the latest two singles we really wanted to go for a sound that was completely us with minimal references. We just approached the sessions as if we had never heard any music before
Sometimes, the exact thing that audiences need is the thing they least expect. In an era of over-produced, mass-marketed pop hits primed and segmented into thirty-second clips for social media consumption, it finally feels like the pop genre is back at a familiar breaking point. There’s always going to be pop music because in its
Brenda Carsey is a Los Angeles-based vocalist, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, and producer. Her music has been described as brilliant, timeless, playful, and larger than life R&B/Soul and Progressive Pop. Carsey delivers an engaging, energetic show, with her unmistakably unique sound rooted in the classic pop diaspora. Carsey’s voice is uninhibited with a virtuosic range, mixing a
Though comprised of little more than an acoustic guitar, the occasional percussive accent, and a vocal that is capable of dispensing both heavenly harmonies and devastatingly menacing melodies almost simultaneously, Christine Hand’s Standing on the Shoulders has all the required hallmarks of a deeply emotional and compositionally multilayered album. FACEBOOK: https://www.facebook.com/ChristineHandMusic/ Its foundation is purely organic; starting
A confident strut of the percussion is all that it takes for the new single “Shame” from bilingual duo Migrant Motel to get everyone in the room dancing like it’s their last night on earth, and while the beat is eroticized by the feverish rhythm of the bassline, it’s only made as potent as it
Three generations of music making are represented in the five members of Williamson Branch, but there’s more. Those three generations understand the breadth of bluegrass history and how to best utilize the style as a viable modern musical vehicle without losing its initial spirit. The five-piece family outfit has five studio collections to their credit
Elektragaaz’s dark and addictive new EP The Synaesthetic Picture Show: Part 6 has a lot of brutish synthetic charm, but I think its poeticisms are the biggest reason it deserves a fair share of accolades this November. The implicit rhythm from the powerful “The Forge of the Red Horseman” at first glance seems devilish, but upon further
Alternative rock has had quite the odyssey in the last half-century. Since the genre’s infancy, when the likes of the Amboy Dukes and MC5 were laying the groundwork for what would ultimately become an entirely new style of music in garage rock and proto-punk, its most important players have always been driven by the desire
Over the past forty-five years, rock n’ roll as we’ve known it has evolved arguably more than it did in twice the time ahead of the new millennium, and at its purest, most emotional form, it’s produced music in the style of The Make’s The Make Up Sessions, a premium indie LP you should get your
