Modern indie can be whatever you want it to be. That’s kinda the magical thing about the current state of music, anyone can make anything and if it’s good, it finds its audience. For the eclectically-monikered CrashMonkeys (one word, Capital-C, Capital-M), they’re about as indie as they come. Based out of the lovely, beautiful Santa
The art of choosing a band name is as vital as the art of actually crafting music; there’s plenty of debate as to what makes or breaks the ruling on a good band name versus a bad band name, but the fact of the matter is this: when you know, you know. For Melbourne’s alt-country
The Chillbumps’ Welcome to Our Arbor Day Fair was released over three decades ago but sounds like it could have been written and recorded yesterday. It was uncommon, despite REM, for a proto-alternative act to emerge out of the Deep South, but the Alabama five-member outfit never got the memo. Instead, the five one-time Auburn University students

It contains songs about love, perseverance, hope, longing, joy, sadness, relationships, justice, and life. What was the creative process for it? The album began during COVID although the idea for
Having the right voice to sing your song is everything when trying to launch a career in pop music, and although I hadn’t been listening to him before hearing the new record Let the Day Decide, there’s no question that George Mallas has the proper pipes for this medium. Songs like Let the Day Decide’s
When breaking into the psychedelic rock community as an artist, there’s not exactly a blueprint on how to do it or from where to draw inspiration. For Cardiff-based psych artist WoodooMan, the best process is to just jump in headfirst and work out the kinks in the process. Iwan Ap Huw Morgan got his start
Project Grand Slam’s reputation as an absolutely commanding live band capable of blowing audiences away unexpectedly plays in their favor with their new single. “All of the Time” eschews their customary full-band attack for a much more intimate sound, as layered as ever, but possessing an added emphasis on melody. Not that melody is ever
Alex Lopez continues writing and recording at a near torrential rate. His sixth album with the Xpress, Nasty Crime, maintains the same high standard of songwriting and musicianship that has defined his work from the outset. The former has experienced exponential growth since Lopez’s debut and Nasty Crime highlights his songwriting prowess as much as his guitar skills.
Tangling country music and rock n’ roll is nothing new, and Cody Jasper isn’t righteous about doing as much in 2022. There’s increased visibility when it comes to songs that owe something to multiple schools, and in terms of the music he’s recorded thus far, I appreciate why “Who You Are” is the Jasper track so many people and critics
There’s nothing like a perfect road trip album; something that complements the scenery as it whizzes by while you glance back at it in the rearview mirror. The act of being the road trip DJ is no small task, and only the quickest can maintain a great playlist without losing the crowd — it seems
Mark Henry Ham’s new album Casper effortlessly captures the quintessential sound of Americana. From start to finish, Casper takes you on an emotional journey that stirs dormant nostalgia in the blood and lifts the spirit. Ham’s soulful vocals are at the center of each track leading you through his feelings and reflections. Casper is steeped
Bob Morelli’s Cool is Forever Consulting may be run by an industry veteran with multiple decades under his belt, but he’s far from mired in the past. Morelli and his team are constantly hatching forward thinking strategies and methods for extending the commercial reach of a diverse range of artists. It isn’t all about making
SistersJ debut single “Open When” will transport you to another realm the moment you press play. Elizabeth and Lily Jackson make up SistersJ, they’re real life sisters who have been harmonizing since they were girls. Music has always been a part of their lives and you can tell. “Open When” has an unexpected sense of
There are iconoclasts and then there’s Elektragaaz and their ilk. The East Coast-based multi-instrumentalist collective doesn’t restrict themselves to a single genre or even instrument. They fearlessly mingle improbable combinations and make them work through talent and foresight while they likewise open themselves up to influences from outside the traditional music realm as well. Even
Gifted storyteller and singer/songwriter, Laura Sumner breaks the mold with the Americana-folk-roots rock debut EP, Red Clay Blue Sky. Sumner sculpts together five songs that follow a pattern of soaring harmonies, poignant lyrics and gentle ease. Sumner’s lead single, the daring “American Man”, strikes an even more interesting note in the summer of inflation and financial
Makes My Blood Dance cannot seem to sit still. Single after single, live show after killer live show, they’ve made a name splicing and mutating the genes of metal with disco, glam, and electropop. Interview with Evan Russell Saffer – Frontman – Makes My Blood Dance Provide Background of your music career that not many
The role of the piano in the new single “Andromeda” from Nick Phoenix is neither the centerpiece of the song nor one that can be described as understated in the grander scheme of things. While the guitar parts are responsible for maximizing the chills the audience is inevitably going to experience as the track ramps
Occasionally, you stumble across a band and wonder how they aren’t Superstars, yet. In the case of Nashville’s Blackpool Mecca, you just hear and more importantly feel that prevailing sense of greatness in their music. With the impassioned yet polished Indie Pop stylings of arena- era Goo Goo Dolls, comes the band’s latest single, “Darts.”
How would you classify your music? In the past, my music was a mixture between Manson and QOTSA. Still, I often produce songs that are very minimal and repetitive, consist of two or three guitar riffs. Like we’re to be grateful, put it in order or nothing at all. Very simple but effective.
