AV Super Sunshine’s growing following is a testament to a successful DIY ethic in the modern music world. This resolutely independent artist has managed to forge a sterling critical reputation alongside a burgeoning fanbase expanding with each additional release. This isn’t chart success with a massive major label driven promotional push behind it, manufacturing something

Hot off the release of their 2020 album Back to You, Suzanne’s Band is back with another standout addition for the modern independent blues-rock canon with Ice & Fire. Fans will recognize a great deal of familiarity between this and Walker’s previous songs, but longtime listeners and fans can rest assured that Walker and company still have
Nashville, Tennessee isn’t typically associated with hard-hitting blues acts, but Chris Ford’s SuBourbon Blues Project didn’t get the memo. “Whiskey Still” is a powerhouse single from the band’s second album Where Concrete Meets the Grass and, as a representative of the album, promises Ford has further refined the gritty punch delivered during his debut. His music and
From the start of its grungy guitar and seemingly deliberate overindulged production, “Scroll” from Emily Ronna has quickly become a gem of the 2021 music landscape for a variety of reasons. Ronna has always been a brutally uncompromising performer, combining sounds of pop, punk, rock and even dabbling in the technicolor nightmare fantasy that is
Rocking a sensuous melodic tone that almost overshadows the lyrical ambitiousness he’s presenting so candidly to the audience, Alyst is on another level of cool at the mic in “Gold,” his new single with Affluent Oscar Sanchez. Where a lot of other rappers are starting to embrace a cut and dry stylization of arrangements, this
For the most part, Morten Nygaard’s debut single “Tomorrow Never Comes” has a softer sensibility than most pop music does. There’s not a lot of push in the rhythm, the piano accentuates what feels like a naturally smooth, low-key tempo, and even Nygaard himself sounds more comfortable in a relaxed position than he ever would
Singing The Nocturnes is the new 21-song collection from classical pianist Elizabeth Sombart. I can’t claim to be an expert in classical music, nor do I have the trained ear to discern the difference between Sombart’s rendition of Frederick Chopin’s compositions such as “Nocturnes, Op. 48 No. 1_No. 13 in C Minor” versus say, David Fray
Love like you mean it, sings country/pop rocker Aaron Crawford in his new single, “Dreams Don’t Come Cheap”. While the title suggests a wealth of financial investment, Crawford breaks it all down for his listeners in this genuine and rather endearing up-tempo track. Featuring a swooning electric guitar and a rumbling rhythm, “Dreams Don’t Come
Country belongs to a new generation of players, and one of those players just so happens to be Kari Holmes. Holmes’ new album is When I See You Smile, and when any of its twelve songs begin to play, its title starts to make a whole lot of sense. In harmony and lyricism the same, tracks
You can’t fake the ‘it’ factor – you’ve either got it or you don’t, and Max Hawthorne definitely has something special in his new children’s song “A Tyrannosaurus For Christmas.” Although composed simplistically and marketed towards a preadolescent age group, there’s a lot to marvel at from a compositional perspective in this track, and it
Collaborations spotlight the abilities of all parties involved when they’re done right, and while the verse-heavy new album Christmas with Bigfoot initially seems to focus more on the poetic stylings of Marty Achatz, it’s undeniably a strong showing for Streaking in Tongues as well. Experimentalists Streaking in Tongues have been on every credible critics’ radar for years
Anyone who ever said that good rock can come to you without heavy guitars doesn’t just sound silly; they clearly haven’t heard the stylings of one Jordan Wolfe in his new single “Different,” which blasts us with the kind of guitar gold that has been increasingly difficult to find in the underground and the mainstream
Describe your vocal & songwriting style to your potential new fan base.. Before debuting as an artist, I’ve been a songwriter. I wrote my first song in 2009 & have just shy of a hundred songs registered in my name since then. I value a good story. That’s what haunts me in a song. The
Tempting us with the tempo of his lyrics in “Angel.” Christening a harmony with pure charisma in “The Dash.” Escorting our worries from the atmosphere with a solid melodic lead in “Afraid to Dance.” In the album Philadelphia, Eric Colville isn’t necessarily rewriting the rules of American folk-rock but instead reminding all of us what made
Kids might be scared of the boogeyman, but they will be partying and feeling freaky fun in the Halloween-soon-to-be-classic, “The Boogey Woogey Man” from celebrated children’s music artist, Marla Lewis. Lewis, a Parent’s Choice Gold Winner, is on the top of her game with the loose and flashy tune. Crackling the funny bone a few
When did you first know you wanted to make a life in music? Well, my parents started me in piano lessons when I was five years old. I enjoyed it for a while, but eventually at age eight and nine I was tired of always having to practice, so I complained and threw fits and
Hi Virginia Sweet! Great to speak with you! Thanks for having us! What have you been working on lately? We have mainly been working on writing and ironing out the wrinkles in the fabric known as Virginia Sweet. Being such a fresh project it always takes a little time to hone things in .What has
Reeya Banerjee’s The Way Up begins with the single release “The Magic Word”. The Washington D.C. born, San Francisco-raised singer filmed a video for the song as well that has a personal edge lacking in most promotional clips. Banerjee isn’t unafraid of depicting herself, either in a clip or in song lyrics, as vulnerable and affected by
The list of positives that COVID brought us is a short one. We can, however, count Cozi and Flounder’s EP The Place among those slender gifts. The dawn of the ongoing pandemic upended Ezra Vancil’s burgeoning indie music career with the cancellation of live gigs, lockdowns, and curtailed travel, among other personal discomforts and inconveniences. His preceding
New York City’s fusion jam band trio The Dream Logic has several prior releases under their belt but their latest single “I’ll Be Right Back” may be their finest effort yet. It’s an entertainingly accessible performance despite the clear musical skill on display – Charles Compo, Camille Gainer, and Jerry Brooks are each respective virtuosos on their respective
