The new collection from New Jersey’s Mike Montrey Band, Searching for My Soul, continues with the same impressive combination of R&B, soul, and blues that has so far defined the band’s music and Montrey’s solo efforts. The album has a surprising amount of variation given its seven song length and we can lay much of the

With over 100 performances notched throughout the Midwest, dynamic singer-songwriter Matt Fawcett is no stranger to festivals, charity events, churches and even house shows taking place in the living rooms of his biggest fans. His unique blend of country music with a contemporary Christian twist and a speck of bluegrass is influenced by some of
Jason Jordan and his bandmates in bluegrass outfit Route 3 made a deep and positive impression with their self-titled debut. They haven’t wasted any time following it, however, with a sophomore effort dispelling any notions about a jinx for these Missouri-based talents. Jordan is joined on Losing Time, as before, by bassist Doug Clifton, banjo player
Gene O’s journey to his new single “COOL” has been a long and colorful ride, but the track doesn’t feel or sound like some sort of cumulation. Instead, it sounds like an experienced musical artist shifting gears and hitting a new stride without abandoning any of the many virtues that brought him to this place.
A true artist wears it all on their sleeve not because they want to but because there’s no other way to present what they’ve got to communicate in their medium, and in the new single “Growing Pains,” which was officially released on September 23rd.. we find a stone-cold brilliance in singer/songwriter Andrew Z that definitely
Tia McGraff’s With Love is the latest offering in a 15+ year musical career that’s enjoyed success far outside of her native Canada. The Ontario born artist has long since diversified her work, as well, branching out of the music world to pen popular children’s literature and some of the wide-eyed wonder required for producing such work
Colin Dieden enjoys an indie darling reputation built on the back of his tenure fronting popular indie act The Mowglis. The tours, successful releases, and acclaim showered on him and his bandmates, however, didn’t quell the restless need within to express himself in a different way. Dieden acted on it, at last, in 2019 when
Byron Lee Scott’s Harmony Dreamers project sets a new standard for conceptual music releases in the 21st century. This isn’t a concept album in the traditional sense – I Come from Earth’s songs make no pretense toward storytelling and there’s no theme or multiple themes bringing the work together in an overarching way. Instead, they share a
If you were to take the five biggest EDM artists in the world right now and place them side by side, would you be able to tell their bodies of work apart? The Nylon Admirals don’t seem to think so if their website is anything to go off of. “Over the past 20 years, electronic
OneGunn is the moniker Marvin Gunn has adopted in recent years performing and releasing new material. His new single “Why” adopts what OneGunn has dubbed “the Minneapolis Experience”, nothing more really than a vibrant mix of the same soul, R&B, rock, funk, and pop influences fueling his music since the 1980s. He first emerged early
Dici’s rise through the indie pop ranks is, in my opinion, destined for full-fledged mainstream success. Those of us out here, along the margins, still have him to ourselves for a little while longer, however. His new single “Beautiful Collision” veers in a different direction than the Miami based performer’s prior material without sounding like
When the pandemic first hit, the band was hit hard. It took away our freedom, including the freedom to express ourselves. It was no easy task to find inspiration but in the end it brought us to this album. “Another Way of Silence” is a child of this difficult time, a child of this silence.-
There are two sides to seemingly every artist in the industry, and if there’s one in the underground who wants us to know this and appreciate everything he has to share this fall, it just might be The Al Ur Pal Project’s own Al Wordlaw. Born in Chicago and raised on Motown classics, Wordlaw has
Jaelee Roberts’ debut collection Something You Didn’t Count On, as first albums go, is virtually unassailable. It’s a near-note-perfect model for what modern bluegrass should sound like if widespread appeal is the goal. The last part of the preceding sentence is what we call a caveat. Many musicians, songwriters, and/or performers cannot balance commercial interests and
NYGMA IS BASED OUT OF DALLAS, TX. BURNIE, COLTEN, & CALEB HAVE BEEN PLAYING MUSIC TOGETHER FOR CLOSE TO 16 YEARS. THEY’VE BEEN IN OTHER BANDS TOGETHER AS WELL, IN ADDITION TO TOURING THE US MULTIPLE TIMES. THE 3 OF THEM MET THROUGH LOCAL CHURCH FUNCTIONS IN MANSFIELD, OH. BURNIE MET DANIEL & CHRIS THROUGH THE LOCAL
The buzz that Sharon Rae North has been attracting this year has been anything but minimal, and with the release of her new single “Heart of Mine,” she seeks to establish herself as one of the smarter vocal pop performers currently making noise in the underground. While there’s a lot of cosmetic charm to appreciate
Pretentiousness has been common in indie rock for a long time now, but if you listen to the new album from Vinyl Floor, Funhouse Mirror, following its upcoming release date of September 16th, one thing you won’t encounter in the whole of the record is a sense of ego. While there’s pride behind the lyrical
Elizabeth Sombart’s artistic life has a reach far beyond the world of classical music and its admirers. The French pianist is an unofficial cultural ambassador as well thanks, in part, to her establishing Fondation Résonnance in 1998. Fondation Résonnance’s aim is to offer a chance for free music education to groups and individuals who otherwise
Nonstop to Cairo dispenses with any pretense at all during their second single “Awkward Situations”. Horns and keyboards may prominently figure into the band’s other material, but the new track is a sinewy and uncompromising reminder that Cairo, first and foremost, wants to rock. It’s never going to be the ham-fisted and colorless 4/4 variety
We’ve all had this thought before. We’re sitting someplace, maybe on a train, in a restaurant, just out and about. Someone catches our eye, whether their with someone or not is irrelevant, but something about them strikes us. It’s unexplainable, but it’s innocent. It’s love. The mind begins to wonder what could be, do you
