There aren’t many bands in popular music willing to go with an instrumental track as a single, but conga player par excellence Robert Starks and his band mates aren’t your usual grouping of R&B musicians. Their two new singles “21st Century Grandma” and “Text-MEE-Baby” do a little bit of everything on their way to providing audiences

The swaggering guitar riff opening Lily Vakili Band’s single “She Wants What” is a signpost for what is to come. This is an ultra-confident, to the point, and two-fisted rock anthem in the making urging listeners to never be denied the best for themselves. There’s nothing superficial about it. The arrangement is relatively simple and

Thank you for your time today.  Please share with our readers the latest news of The Keymakers! We have a lot going on these days!

Thank you for your time today.  Please share with our readers the latest news of Reverend Doctor! Absolutely! I just released my second single “Dance Warrior” in August of this year. It’s a pretty triumphant achievement for me because I was also on the road the most I’ve ever been, played the most shows I’ve

Seattle jammers, Forest Ray are back with their third full-length album Faded Reflection. That word – faded seems to be key in figuring this band out and their groove. The song “Back To Bed” sounds like remnants of a sixties revolution song, folksy and bluesy all at once, and as that sound has faded into

RV Farms release self-titled LP At first listen the standout song “July” seems like the percussion is going backward, while the chiming keys and the strung-out guitar riffs are going in a completely different direction. It’s like light hitting the sun – a radiance that reverberates to the listener. It’s a stunning song and it’s

Australian four piece Scizzorman has carved out an unique niche for themselves in the modern music scene as purveyors of funk rock with a decidedly offbeat and modern bent. This is far from a glorified tribute act to past icons like Parliament, Funkadelic, and others of that ilk; Scizzorman are far too idiosyncratic to follow

A slow-motion wave of percussion gently nudges forth a beat in the opening bars of “Moving Mountains” that will serve as the perfect backdrop to Jennifer Truesdale’s immaculate singing, but for as majestic a melodic soundscape as we find in this track, “Moving Mountains” is only one of the ten chill-inducing songs to be enjoyed

The gilded chords that open up Casey Ahern’s “Just a Dance” are as warm as a sunrise, as crisp as a freshly picked apple, and just supple enough to appeal as much to pop fans as they would country twang diehards who are in desperate need of an all-American pick-me-up this September. Slowly but surely,

Ritesh Das formed the Toronto Tabla Ensemble in 1991 and the Canadian organization/musical act has provided Canadian society with an important cultural component over the last twenty-eight years and counting. The ensemble’s school has expanded in recent years with the development of the Youth Ensemble and they figure into this release in a significant way.

The Why Because by John DeNicola is a revisit of some songs he’s been known for in the past, as a songwriter dating as far back as the 70s who picked up in the 80s by way of efforts which include songs on the Dirty Dancing movie soundtrack being where his work is most prominently

“All that I need is a moment in time” begs Jeremy Rice in the opening line of his new single “Somebody Like You,” one of the star tracks on the album Jeremy Rice and the Legendary Fist of Takinawa, his voice aching with a sobering emotionality that is quite rare in mainstream pop anymore. There’s an

A surreal soundscape sets the tone for a cutting rap from Andrew Seely, better known as Morsifire, in the first track of his debut LP Metanoia, “Slice,” but this lush sonic backdrop will play a part much greater than most in this multilayered studio album. In this track, the chest-pounding hip-hop epic “77 Skeletons” and sublime

URL: www.chrismardinimusic.com “I been leaning / Don’t wanna go through this alone / Keep breathing / I’m tired, stressed, wanna go home” croons Chris Mardini in the opening stanza of his new single “Retrospective Outlook,” every word saturated in an angst-ridden grit that is almost more expressive than the actual substance of the statements being

New York City’s Jay Elle opens his latest studio release with its title song “Ease Up (Into Love)”. His fluid guitar playing sets an eloquent and mellow melodic tone for the song seconds in and the production captures the ensemble performance with the right fidelity and punch. Elle wears a well-deserved reputation for one of

As expressive as the lead vocal from rapper Hassa is, the beats that adorn the backdrop of the new single “Aajah” are an essential component in the melodic tour de force that this debut release is, but they’re not the only reason why I would highly recommend hip-hop connoisseurs take an extra-special look at this

The Chordaes’ new EP What We Breathe In has been lauded by critics as one of the best records of its kind to have debuted in the last couple of years, and there is perhaps no song that encapsulates its inviting sound as much as its title track does. “What We Breathe In,” the latest single from
