A little restrained but significant enough to the backend of the master mix that we wouldn’t be listening to the same song without its presence, the beat we discover beneath the verses in “Buttercup” is indeed a major point of interest for Little Hurt fans this November. Though perhaps not as important to the understanding

With nothing more than a sonic ease to guide his every word and a pastoral backdrop that suits the tone of his harmonies better than anything else on the planet would have, miQa.el delivers a wonderful performance in the music video for his single “Walking Medicine” which feels quite on-point with what pop fans have
With a fierce introduction that is louder because of how soft it is, Jeremy Parsons welcomes us into his incredible new single “Tickin’,” his much-anticipated latest single. Right off the bat, we’re hypnotized by the chic stylization of the percussion, the marvelously melodic crooning of Parsons, and the industrial tonality of the melodicism, which has
CelestiOwl has released over forty albums over a three decade plus long professional musical journey. This staggering rate of productivity suggests that, at this point, he may be slowing down. His new EP release Metanoia dispels any such notions. Four songs may seem like a paltry offering to some and, even more, no evidence of ongoing creative
A smoldering string arrangement peeks at us from behind a curtain of passive silence as we set upon Walter Sickert & The Army of Broken Toys’ new single “Goth Beach.” Though the first thirty seconds of this track more or less give us a pretty solid indication as to what kind of gothic pleasures await
Of Limbo’s new single “Let’s Go” is out now and has already generated considerable buzz. Its recent addition to Amazon’s “Breakthrough Rock” list is a feather in this young California-based band’s cap that will get a lot more eyes and ears paying attention. The power trio format has made a remarkable comeback in 21st-century rock
When AV Super Sunshine is singing, it’s easy to get distracted by the control he exudes over every other element around him in a song. No matter the size of the guitars, the plushness of the Hammond, or even the danger element created by the right sort of beat, his voice is one that has
So excited to be chatting with Brian Congdon today! Welcome! Let’s dive right in.When did you first know you wanted to become a musical artist? What was the first song you ever wrote? I would say I first started thinking about it when I was 20 years old right before I started playing in bars
Rock’s best attribute has been its ability to stand on the outside and represent, no matter what the time of year or the culture of politics it’s rebelling against happens to be, and in “Unstoppable,” Different Moon continues the tradition of 80s-influenced art-pop avant-gardism in a manner that is bound to get a lot of
Playful, slightly restless, and instantly infectious in every way that a thoughtful extended play of any genre should be, The Real J Israel’s latest dispatch – Glass Half Full – doesn’t waste a second getting our attention with an especially bold melodicism as it’s presented in “A Better Me” and “I Am Me.” The beats don’t have
Hi Seamus! Great to speak with you today! What projects have you been working on lately? I Just finished an off- broadway play called New York Circa 1909 Written and directed by Geoffrey Cantor in which I played a critical role as an Irish Mobster! It was such a fun role! I also played a
Welcome to Melody Maker! We are chatting today with Marliii. Tell us more about yourself and how you got into music? Thanks for chatting with me! I first realized I wanted to become a musical artist when I was really young. My dad would play guitar a lot around my home when I was growing
Arbor Creek’s second studio album Thanks for Wading carries on many of the characteristics established with the band’s self-titled debut. The band sounds even more confident, however, with a well-received first album under their belt and there’s certainly an even stronger sense of identity burning in the heart of the songs. They have a physical sound that
“Flesh and Blood” will end 2022 as one of the most heart-rendering singles released in recent memory. The Finnish musical collective Hi Status Qualified, otherwise known as HiSQ, is responsible for this deeply felt confection and reaped the rewards of vocalist Marko Hietala’s singing for the track. The ex member of Nightwish related to the
Instrumental records are often tailored to one specific audience over another, whether it be fans of jazz or another form of iconic music enthusiasts, but that’s hardly the case with the new virtuosic instrumental album Here at Last by Dan Engelhardt. Though most of the material on Here at Last qualifies as critic-approved without having to get too deep
Major of Roses’ latest single “But Not Now” is Magnus Rosell’s latest offering under the aforementioned band name. The Stockholm based singer/songwriter first caught my ear with his debut 2018 set Cornerstone and this new track, while far from illustrative of his stylistic reach, nevertheless reveals a muted yet elegant side to his songwriting character. There is
Most artists choose to settle down and slow the creative process when they start a family, often going years between projects to prioritize the time they have and take stock of what’s important. It’s pretty rare for a new artist to arrive on the scene with a family already established, and in David Raybuck’s case,
Folk sometimes feels like one of the more elite and discriminating American genres to both understand and fully appreciate, but in the case of Webster’s Wheel and their new album Yum Yum Pie, the traditional music of Americana and those who made the aesthetic everything it is today couldn’t be much more accessible and easy for
Jean Morrison’s single release “Cardboard Skies” is a radio edit of a cut originally released in single form seven years ago. He’s resurrected the song for the Halloween holiday in honor of his father, dead just before the pandemic hit in 2020, and as an exorcism of sorts in line with the season. It’s an
A strutting electric guitar comes into focus and is quickly met with a bouncy but threatening bass that will usher in a stampede of percussive grooves capable of eviscerating anything that comes in their path. URL: https://www.messerband.com/ The beats are swinging with a poppy effervescence, but they’re filtered through a scooped EQ that quakes the
