It’s an interesting era in post-pop revivalism no matter what your aesthetical persuasions are, and of the recent dispatches to come to my attention, the Noshows/Aud collaboration “Slow Up” is one of the more compelling singles of its kind. Although it’s a rhythm-forward composition, “Slow Up” isn’t lacking in melodic ribbonry by any measurement; contrarily,

A ghostly harmony follows every word Jimmy Goings sings to us in the familiar “He’s in Your Mind,” but as strong an impression as this song makes, it doesn’t dwarf the ensuing emotion we’ll soon embrace in the tone-driven “Is It Just Me,” the tune that immediately follows it in Goings’ new record Late Check-In. The
In one moment, Kaitlyn Kohler’s new single “Everywhere I Go” is the picture of a perfect country/pop anthem; in the next, it’s a more complicated and personal piece, designed with the bones of a folk song but delivered unto us with a surreal softness not common of such content (in modern times, at least).

John Dorsch’s vision for his music has an all-encompassing design that few artists share. His latest release Elevation spans the breadth of fifteen songs that touch on multiple genres such as folk, pop, and rock without ever coming off as a hodgepodge of disparate tunes lacking an overall cohesive theme. The fifteen tracks included on Elevation are bound together
If you think hard rock is a dead genre, reconsider. Sobak’s A Little More Time will definitely make you rethink such a stance. The Florida-based bandleader Anthony Sobak has been playing music and singing since fifteen years old and the long voyage he’s had to this moment delivers the goods in one of the most inspired hard
You don’t need loads of creative contrast to create provocative harmonies in rock n’ roll anymore, and if there’s an American who can illustrate this rather flawlessly this season, it’s none other than greenhorn recording artist Kristen Capolino. Capolino’s new Independence Day single, titled “Freedom,” is one of the most straightforward progressive pop songs I’ve
In the competitive world of indie pop, Ajay Mathur doesn’t have an easy road ahead of him in trying to put his name on the map, but this isn’t to say that his new single “Don’t Want the Phone to Ring” doesn’t put forth quite the sterling effort. Mathur introduces himself to us in “Don’t
“Make Believe” from Missouri rockers Dark Below heralds the further dawning of their considerable talents. The song was recorded at East Iris Studios in Nashville, TN with Producer Malcolm Springer (Matchbox 20, Collective Soul, Fear Factory, Josey Scott) at the helm, assisted by Jason Schrick. The trio of vocalist/guitarist Josh Campbell, bass player and backing vocalist Josh
Hitting us with a forcefulness that becomes the greatest element of consistency in the tracklist before we know it, Rob Alexander wields a lot of raw power in the opening cut of his new album, Young Man’s Eyes, titled simply “The Soul or the Skin.” The track’s compositional premise will be revisited in the namesake song
Classy and sophisticated in “I’m Here Forever,” slow-churning and seductive in “If I Ever,” the grooves featured in Conor Maynard’s new album +11 Hours are undeniably the foundation of every cathartic event the record has to offer. Though coupled with rhymes that frequently stir up as much emotion as any melodic faceting ever could, the beats found
Aficionados of folk music and singer/songwriter material will gravitate to Australian Jason Freddi’s work. A seasoned veteran of regional band projects and possessing a daring imagination, Dreaming Australia is his first solo release and won’t be the last. His work with multi-instrumentalist and producer Isaac Barter gives the nine song collection a consistent and unified vision seldom

Austin Avenue’s record Little Boy’s Cards is a revelation in the Americana music scene, inviting even the most unsuspecting listeners into a world brimming with heartfelt storytelling and captivating melodies. Released on May 1st, this album defies the boundaries of genre, proving that great music transcends preconceived notions and TikTok’s algorithms. In a world where
Ranzel X. Kendrick, otherwise known as Alias Wayne, comes by his art honestly. The Texas native, now living in Costa Rica, is the nephew of country music legend Roger Miller, songwriter and singer of countless Nashville classics, and his early forays as a fledgling musician and songwriter are full of lessons derived from his uncle.
Encountering someone who makes music for the sheer joy of it is always a satisfying experience. It’s especially so in a day and age when so many artists obviously view the creative act as a means to fame and nothing more. There’s no question that Rob Alexander wouldn’t mind scoring a number-one hit or filling
Indie rock fans don’t need to be told about the deficit in mainstream talent that their favorite genre has been experiencing lately – if you turn on the radio, you’re going to notice. From one end of the rock n’ roll lexicon to the next, it often feels like some of the best artists in
Bill McBirnie has carved out a richly deserved reputation as one of the finest flutists of his generation. It hasn’t stopped him, however, from continuing to explore the limits of his creativity and, in collaboration with electroacoustic player Eugene Martynec and piano player Bill Gilliam, his recent output ranks among the finest in his career.
Fleeting melodicism seemingly made of gold circles preparing to go in for the kill in “Smokey Mountain Memories.” Fiery harmonies are made compressed into a bout of Americana as emotive as it is stirring in “I Wonder How the Old Folks Are At Home.” Nathan Stanley dazzles us with vocal showmanship in “Hallelujah, I’m Ready”
Brea Fournier & the Dream Ballet is a talented and unique band that we are so excited to talk further with. Big welcome! You just released a new single. Congrats! Talk with me on the single and how it came together. Hi! Thank you so much for having me! My name is Brea Fournier, and as you might have
Colin Dieden writes about a plethora of little hurts scarring the songs on his new Alt.Pop solo project album, Lovely Hours. The sanguine disappointments of everyday life, the internalized pressures of wrestling with identity, and cure-alls for emotional maladies that ultimately prove transient and superficial. The songs he’s written for Lovely Hours lay his little hurts bare. He never flinches
