It’s a good idea to brace yourself, when you learn of Sarantos. Perusing his bio will result in an initially dizzying state of disbelief, brimming with sensationalism and likely, embellishment. He pontificates himself as a Singer/Songwriter, Author, Radio Show Host, and of course, Musician. He is also caustic at certain points, describing himself as a

Have you performed your latest song Live yet? I haven’t performed the version I have out right now but I have performed the acoustic version of it which is very different. I’m excited to perform it at my show at Molly Malones in Hollywood on June 12th. What is the best part of performing Live?
What has been your most favorite compliment about your music? Edem: That it sounds like nothing, and nobody, else. Brett: We have received many compliments throughout our career, but one that stands out in my memory was from a show we had a few years back where someone from the audience yelled “Nectar”. Anonymously delivered, well timed,
It staggers out of the silence rather begrudgingly, but by the time it comes into focus completely, there’s something rather loveable about the broken strut of the piano keys sailing out of our speakers in the first moments of DICI’s new single “Five Rings.” They aren’t being backed by a bassline just yet, and the
The ongoing evolution of alternative music has been spurred forth by the underground experimentalists before everyone else – and this especially includes the fusion players like those in Jesse & The Hogg Brothers, whose facilitation of a proper cowpunk revival has brought forth an exciting wave of players from Texas to Tennessee and beyond in
Tash Hagz is piling on the rip-roar rock thunder in his new single “Dependent On,” and no matter what volume at which you’re listening to the track’s first ten seconds, it’s almost guaranteed to quake the floor beneath your speakers on the strength of the riffing alone. The drums crash into each other without fail,
There’s no comparing modern music to music of the past. This is an oft contested topic, but even on the base levels of music production quality and the types of instruments and production equipment available, it’s almost impossible to say that the music of today is worse off or far superior to the music that
You have some hilarious TikTok videos – how did you get started with these? I have a son and 3 grandsons. I have not seen them in many years. So, I turned to TikTok because maybe they would see me. Will you share a little backstory on yourself? I was born in Brooklyn. And raised there too
Self-described as a “whiskey and beer drinking, fishing and hunting loving, motorcycle riding, quality food eating, hippie sympathizing, people loving husband and father” I’ll be honest, after listening to even just this single track, yeah I’m hard-pressed to disagree with him. In a lot of ways, Rodriguez feels like that friend you don’t see all
How are you making out in 2021 with your music? It’s already been an amazingly creative year. I have released a single ‘Show Me You Feel’ and remixes, then released a collaboration with Synth Steve, and next month, releasing another music video with a new tune and remixes called Don’t Tell Me No! I have
When’s the last time you fell in love? Like truly felt in love. The kind of love that couldn’t easily be contained. What did it sound like? We have a tendency to quantify these kinds of thoughts and feelings like butterflies in the stomach, or like suddenly everything felt and sounded clear, but how many
Allow me to make the corniest of jokes and say that Open Sesame Vol.1, Her Dress by Instabul-based musician Barista is very much an Awesome Mix. I’ll wait for you to get that. Okay, we good? This album just strikes like a bolt of lightning across 7 glorious tracks of varying styles and tastes, all
It can be said that there aren’t many songs quite as exciting as those designed to make us dance, and after a harsh year like 2020, we can all agree that the club has never felt so far away. Ronnue was taking all of this into account when getting together with Lisa G. Allen for
Pop music has certainly had its fair share of genre-crossing revivals in recent years. Tracking what will take off next has evaded even those most familiar with the historical trends of the genre, and the fairly recent introductions of social media and streaming have only sped up the process of fads and trendsetting within mainstream
2020 wasn’t much of a year for dance tracks, and all things considered, why would it be? Without much reason for busting a move, a lot of artists retreated into the poetic mundane, while others like Rob Alexander dared to keep dreaming and cultivating the music and moves we’d need when reaching the light at
Sam Green has spent 2013-2018 in a flurry of musical activity. He’s shared the results of those years on the Spotify platform in hopes of exposing his art to a wider audience; it isn’t difficult to hear why. Even Green’s saddest tracks are filled with a life-affirming impulse; the fact they are written or performed
You are fresh from a rare achievement of getting into the DRT Rock TOP 50, what’s next? My single Jab the world peaking at number 8 on the DRT ROCK TOP 50 opened my eyes to the global radio potential of my music. So, while I am excited to see my name next to the
The newest single by Leo Ganza is called “Pandemic.” There is no symbolism, as it is inspired by exactly what you think it is. The addendum, is Ganza imagining a love story unfolding through the crisis. He also addresses the concurrent events of police brutality and the ensuing BLM movement. It’s as timely as a
There’s no limit to Melanie Rogers’ potential. The young singer/songwriter has recently endured a heartbreaking fracture in her relationship with the church and has turned her musical attentions towards secular music instead. It flies in the face of her long-held belief that her talents as a singer and musician should always be used in praise
Howling out of the silence with an ominous tonal presence that sounds more like a wail of a siren than it does anything deliberately melodic and instrumental, we find the opening bars of Jay Bang’s new single “On Sight” waiting to crush us with indulgence and textural presence both underexploited by the vast majority of
Luckie Boy is back to making killer vibes and beats in epic hit “26 Letters”. Not your typical groove maker – Luckie Boy sews together several bandwidths resulting in a sonic burst that could elevate any room. In this case, “26 Letters”, or 26 days without his better half by his side, is a working
The decision to name your first EP released as a Christian artist after a book or gospel widely considered non-canonical by those within your faith is a bold choice that requires a strong will and a bold artist to stand behind. The idea of it being a mixed and contested message, either about the mother
With help of an array of talents ranging from choir and orchestral backing along with a myriad of expressive but never bombastic drumming talents and guitar talents including from lead singer Stephen Winston, his newest album One True Story stands out above the rest of the numerous B-side records released in the last few years.
Outside of being Canadian and early in his career, there is little we know about, Rick Christian. He spouts himself as a visual artist, as well as a musician, and when you hear his work, the former seems a faux accompli. Based out of Edmonton, notable for their hockey team, Christian experienced the doldrums of
For his new single, Houston based Rapper, Bing, has telegraphed the notorious Texas Summers. “Heat” is a high energy track that comes in a with a roar, and never really relents. It’s got a massive and head bobbing chorus that kicks things into motion and you will most likely get it stuck in your head.
The true job of musicians, far beyond simply playing music to entertain, is to further reflect the sign of the times and rise to any and all historic occasions by offering either an escape or an answer within their art. With the unexpected rise of the viral pandemic early last year, most bands and artists
There are plenty of pros and cons that came out of the immense amount of free time folks found themselves unexpectedly submerged in due to the global pandemic that began in 2020, and the positives for some came in the form of artistic expression. The Brian Shapiro Band was the outlet of one such positive
