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
In the spirit of Jack Johnson and Ben Harper, comes David Kahn. David is a Los Angeles based Singer/Songwriter, with little more than an acoustic guitar and some stories to share. Hard working and optimistic, David is more of a throwback than a modernist. With a tall slender frame, and a friendly face, there’s something
Michael Aroian, Adam Soucy, and Kevin Swaluk have been writing and playing music for some time now under the banner Elsewhere with great success. It’s obvious, however, they wanted more. The band’s latest album “Life… is a Fraction” is nothing less than a massive swing for the artistic fences, the long bomb for the end zone
Few genres in the American pop lexicon can evoke as much emotion out of their listeners as the blues do. As integral an element in our national artistic history as the very instruments that it would need to make its most profound creative statements, the blues have arguably never been as important to the identity
A little restrained but significant enough to the backend of the master mix that we wouldn’t be listening to the same song without its presence, the beat we discover beneath the verses in “Buttercup” is indeed a major point of interest for Little Hurt fans this November. Though perhaps not as important to the understanding
With nothing more than a sonic ease to guide his every word and a pastoral backdrop that suits the tone of his harmonies better than anything else on the planet would have, miQa.el delivers a wonderful performance in the music video for his single “Walking Medicine” which feels quite on-point with what pop fans have
With a fierce introduction that is louder because of how soft it is, Jeremy Parsons welcomes us into his incredible new single “Tickin’,” his much-anticipated latest single. Right off the bat, we’re hypnotized by the chic stylization of the percussion, the marvelously melodic crooning of Parsons, and the industrial tonality of the melodicism, which has
CelestiOwl has released over forty albums over a three decade plus long professional musical journey. This staggering rate of productivity suggests that, at this point, he may be slowing down. His new EP release Metanoia dispels any such notions. Four songs may seem like a paltry offering to some and, even more, no evidence of ongoing creative
A smoldering string arrangement peeks at us from behind a curtain of passive silence as we set upon Walter Sickert & The Army of Broken Toys’ new single “Goth Beach.” Though the first thirty seconds of this track more or less give us a pretty solid indication as to what kind of gothic pleasures await
