Sporting a level of strength that will power the likes of “Bonesaw” and “Pornstar” out of the speakers and into a nocturnal backdrop of the darkest strain like nothing else possibly could have, to say that the vocal DEVORA offers us in her new EP God is Dead is potent wouldn’t be doing it justice. When she

Musician and composer Louis Siciliano returns with his latest release entitled Ancient Cosmic Truth. The four song EP features a stellar cast of supporting musicians such as trumpet player Randy Brecker, tenor saxophonist Umberto Muselli, former Weather Report percussionist Alex Acuna, and drummer Claudio Romano. This impressive lineup plays exceptionally well with Siciliano’s customary assortment of
Pete Price’s Department of the Interior is a solo release from the longtime guitarist of The Fries. Price has played with the band over three decades and fuels their music with inspired guitar playing that embraces the melodic rather than empty showboating. The same principles drive Department of the Interior. Songcraft is always first on Price’s artistic agenda.
In order to cultivate a strong sense of artistic originality, it’s important for an act to take a step back and consider what matters the most to their profile. Whether it be melodic detail, compositional wit, or perhaps expressing heartfelt emotion for nothing more than the medium, priorities are everything in thought-provoking music – particularly
In her new single “Over Time,” singer/songwriter Queeva works a classic club beat with an added electricity not commonly found among modern crooners by any measurement. Although this is hardly the first occasion on which Queeva has strutted through the studio with a powerful command of the lyrics rivaling the best in the industry, there’s
In “Hate Being Human,” the latest single from Dark Below, the band’s melodic driving force marvelously melds Tool-style vocal harmonies with furious riffing that would appeal to casual rockers as much as it would serious alternative music aficionados with a discriminating taste for rebellious rhythm, and while it’s not the only indie anthem worth checking
Jennifer Alvarado is an international recording artist from Vale, North Carolina and has amassed over 1 million streams on Spotify alone. Her first EP project titled ”Playing with Fire” was released in April 2021. She released a country pop EP titled “Songbird: Part One” in July 2022. “Songbird” is a two part collection of songs
A groove has the power to shape an entire song. From the mood to the very tone in which it’s delivered, the beat plays a role in making the new single from Of Limbo, “Let’s Go,” as beastly as it can be, and I must say, it’s quite the monster even at moderate volumes. INSTAGRAM:
In some of the more erudite and sophisticated songs I’ve heard in my lifetime, the instruments that are present tell us as much of a story as the singers themselves do, and after getting hooked on Little Hurt’s new single “Buttercup,” I decided that it definitely qualifies as a member of this elite collection of
If you know Everett De Morier, you know unpredictability. In a career that has spanned more than twenty-five years, Mr. De Morier has written everything from the Weekly World News’ My Wife Is Having the Reincarnation of Elvis to the Hollywood optioned Thirty-Three Cecils. He’s an essayist, an author, a humorist, a contributor, a thinker.
When you think of the sport of hockey, you generally think of nitty, gritty, hardcore aggression. There are maybe thoughts of figure skating or Disney On Ice sprinkled in, but for a majority of the folks out there, it’s all about that blood on the ice. Hockey is a pretty unforgiving sport, all things considered,
A man of many hats including pastor, father, husband, and computing professional, David Raybuck didn’t play around when he added songwriter to that list. I am willing to believe that the fourteen songs included on his debut release The Prodigal aren’t the full extent of songs Raybuck has at his disposal for this collection. The fecund creativity
Self-described hard rock outfit Messer lay down a chest-pounding metal-inspired anthem in their latest single “Unfvckwitable,” and it’s garnering some notable attention from critics and audiophiles this autumn. Right from the jump, Messer is firing off one gargantuan riff after another with a sense of urgency that is driven by both the intensity of the
It’s been stated that Australian band Bloom has the distinct ability to make personable moments onstage that resonate with audiences, crafting intense crowd pleasers with a distinct sound, and on their newest track Elevate from their album of the same name, it’s clear why they’re a master of that delicate thread between the artist and
MUMEx Duo’s latest set of studio recordings, titled Heat the Silent, consists of songs like the noisy but endearing “Heat the Silent” and the synthetic fusion offering “Joe’s Island.” It emits colorful tones in “Thelonious” and abstract groove-driven swagger in “Beyond the Eight Door.” We find an unspoken darkness amidst the foggy melodies of “Variazione Senza
The recording studio can have quite the impact on an artist’s sound, and more often than not what we hear in a conventional piece is a lot different from what we would expect out of a live performance – save for the work that Elizabeth Sombart is doing right now. Sombart wants to draw us
Music and materials have always gone hand in hand. From Kanye’s “Gold Digger” to the obvious Madonna classic “Material Girl” it’s an inescapable theme that only grows more relevant with each passing decade. We’re at the height of decadence, with buying things easier than ever with the rise of corporations like Amazon and the slow
With Love is the latest music release from an artist who does so much more. Canadian-born Tia McGraff isn’t a songwriter or singer alone, but an author of children’s literature as well. There is a lot of wide-eyed sense of wonder pervading these songs, both musically and lyrically, but it’s never childish. Those qualities are, instead,
Jahleel Kamara’s rise through the world of film and television should help restore any faith you’ve lost that the industry can produce talented and healthy young performers. Kamara’s first two years working as an actor in both film and television productions is a rousing success and he’s poised to take the next big step, at
Eleven-year-old kids are supposed to be playing video games and worrying about school. The rigors of the Broadway stage, memorizing lines, performing for different faces at each staging, wow, some adults can’t handle that, let alone eleven-year-old children. Milanis Clark didn’t get that memo, however, and nor did her family. Shepherded by her mother Yeimis
Saying classical music and opera aren’t everyone’s cup of tea is akin to announcing anchovies are unpopular pizza toppings. It isn’t exactly earth-shattering news and, moreover, it’s well-established fact. Neither genre has ever experienced meaningful commercial popularity in the American market, as much a result of cliché as any inherent stuffiness in the music. Many
The Cali vibes that had so much influence over Little Hurt when composing his newest single are all over the place in “Cooler If U Did,” and no matter what volume you’re listening to this song at, there’s a good chance they’re going to rub off on you before the track has reached its climax.
Harmony Dreamers is a project conceived by powerhouse musical artist Byron Lee Scott that draws its inspiration from a deeply personal place. Scott doesn’t promote this work in that way. It’s promoted and built, instead, with a clear reaching out of spirit, a focus on our common welfare instead of focusing on the self. In
Denmark’s underground music scene is synonymous with some of the best content to come out of northern Europe in the past forty years, and in their album Funhouse Mirror, the country’s own Vinyl Floor is looking to continue this rich tradition with some of the most insightful indie rock tunes I’ve listened to in a
Jason Shand doesn’t just have the goal of getting his new single “X Factor” to the masses this summer – he wants to establish credibility that goes beyond the waves of a trend, and he’s likely chosen the right song to do as much with in this one. Although I’m as big a fan of
On paper, there’s really nothing unconventional about “She Makes Beauty,” the new single from rising singer/songwriter Marc Bosserman, but upon closer inspection, this song seems just a bit more elaborate in style than what the status quo is calling for in 2022. URL: https://www.marcbosserman.com/ Although he approaches his lyrics with a humble tone that suits
In a song like the elaborately arranged “Drop Me Off at the Rainbow,” Joe Macre can demonstrate a compositional versatility that has become quite rare in contemporary rock, while in the more straightforward “Get Up, Crack Down,” raw rock adrenaline serves as the biggest element in the spotlight. Where the contrast comes together in the
Cover Song Contest from Masterpiece Sound Studios Detroit gives musicians a shot at a $25K grand prize, and a Detroit concert spot In Partnership with Sony Music Publishing Calling all musically talented artists! We’re looking for singers, musicians, producers, and re-mixers who are game to makeover a classic Motown Hit! Legendary Motown songwriter and record
It’s great to know bands such as Dark Below are still out there flying the rock guitar flag. This isn’t any retro-minded band, however, looking to cash-in on audience nostalgia. Dark Below sees and uses melodic alternative hard rock as a pummeling and emotional vehicle for sharing their life with listeners. This isn’t guitar rock
