Mary Broadcast’s EP Panic reflects the Austrian born singer, songwriter, musician, and bandleader’s refusal to cookie cutter her artistic vision. She may object to the term, but Panic is a concept album built around a narrative arc extending over six songs. Broadcast includes an accompanying video for each of the EP’s six “episodes”, as she calls them, and the

Nearly famous even before he was conceived Scott Page was the son of multi-instrumentalist, entrepreneur and band leader Bill Page, a Chicago born reed player who is recognized for his continuous presence on the Lawrence Welk show. It wasn’t unusual to see the very young Scott performing with his dad on the show as well.
Eric Scott Stevens’ “Burnt Umber” is an early contender for single of the year. The imaginative crackle sparking off the composition never hits me as flashy but, instead, as an authentic expression of the songwriter’s point of view. It doesn’t really matter if the material is what we might call autobiographical. Stevens so thoroughly inhabits
Bass virtuoso Leland Sklar is the core, polestar, the guiding light of the “BASS”, and of Rock-N-Roll itself. Aside from being the leading sessions bassist on the planet for 5 decades the poetry of his longevity is the fact that he evolves, and is able to reinvent himself and reinvent the future….He is already etched
John Pasquale (lovingly also known as SohoJohnny) is right at the CORE of the philanthropic universe. As a visionary he produces some of the biggest benefit concerts known to mankind. The founder of the “Let Me Help, Inc” foundation was created by him as a tribute to his mom who passed from Covid early on during the
Although it can be said that the guitar strings decadently adorning the backdrop throughout Dici’s new single “u n i” aren’t meant to be the main attraction in this track, they make a strong point for the melodic underpinning soon to follow the first few bars here. Anyone who knows anything about Dici is well
Bio: Teyquil Skelton is a singer, songwriter, producer, writer, actor, and all-around performer, born and raised in Philadelphia. Influenced by indie pop, electro, and synth elements, Teyquil’s music has remnants of a good ol’ 80’s vibe that take you back to the nostalgia of a significant era of music with a modern twist. Artists like David Bowie, Michael Jackson, Marc Bolan, The
Conqueror of Love, Bobby and the Crew’s latest Single, holds onto the wedding guest in you and doesn’t let go. Witty lyrics, fast paced melodies, and horns give this pop song a zesty nature that stays with you after one listen. Bobby and The Crew have created a naturally flirtatious song that doesn’t take itself
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
