Adam Grundy Sep 22, 2022

Today is a great day to share indie-pop star, Parris Mitchell, and his new lyric video for “Your Only.” This New York-based singer-songwriter channels the best parts of the pop genre in this crowd-pleasing new single. On the track, Mitchell shared:

I wanted this song to feel like the tension before a kiss. Being in between who you were before and after it. Not love gained or lost but the middle child of the two. I had the most fun writing this one, the songs that pour out immediately usually are. There’s a lot of elements to this song that excite me, especially the ripping saxophones paired with the 80’s-esque drums. I love this song deeply and I hope you can hear that through its soaring vocals and production.

If you’re ready to take the next step in joining Parris Mitchell in his musical evolution, there’s no better time than now. I was also able to catch up with the artist for a brief interview.

Today is a great day to share a live performance from Baltimore experimental rock duo, The Furniture. The band recently released their debut, self-titled LP via the label, Spanish Prayers. On this latest performance-based video, the band shared, “From a distance this band has two moving parts but when you’re able to peer over our shoulders and under our noses, there’s a lot more going on. It’s almost like a micro-world happening with the various instruments and sound makers. The video captures this beautifully, putting the viewer in the micro-world.” If you’ve been looking for that next great rock band that transcends musical genres, look no further than the ultra-talented The Furniture.

Today I’m thrilled to showcase the latest single from San Francisco rock band, The Stone Foxes, called “Time is a Killer.” With a sound that strays somewhere between The Black Crowes, Jack White, and The Struts, The Stone Foxes have crafted a blistering new song that hits all the right chords. The Stone Foxes are comprised of brothers Shannon and Spencer Koehler, and the latest single comes from their forthcoming LP On The Other Side, out everywhere music is sold on November 18th.

Today is the perfect day to share Atlanta punk rock band, New Junk City, latest music video called “High Contrast.” In this great-sounding single, the band channel their love of Tom Petty with more of a Green Day styling to it. The band fits well in the scheme of fans of The Menzingers and Kali Masi. Band leader, John Vournakis, shared this about the new single, “It’s pretty on the nose – just about making an effort to remind myself of those moments when the clouds part, the light shines in, and I can see all the good, positive things in my life instead of staying focused on everything that is fucked up, rotten, and ugly. I’m certainly guilty of this, but I think a lot of songwriters use misery, dissatisfaction or self loathing as the defacto starting point. There’s nothing wrong with that, and I frequently feel that way, but it’s where I’ve always written from, and I just wanted to try to write a positive song for once.” By facing their hardest challenges head on, New Junk City have crafted a masterful new single.

Today I’m thrilled to bring everyone the latest single from indie singer-songwriter Megan Slankard, called “Magical Thinking.” Slankard channels the best parts of guitar-driven indie rock with a sound that tows the line somewhere between Snail Mail and Soccer Mommy, but with enough twists and turns to make it her own. Slankard shared this about her latest single:

When I wrote this song, I was in the middle of a relationship where I felt I was disappearing, fearful and unable to express my feelings. Some days the only way I could write songs was to imagine myself as someone else. In my songs I could transform myself into a powerful, commanding, and confident character that was larger than life. She was like my own personal super hero who helped me get through difficult times.

If you’re ready for that next great musical discovery, look no further than the ultra-talented Megan Slankard, and you can pre-save the song here.

Today is the perfect day to share the latest music video from Katrina Ford, a performance video of her single “Peace Out.” In this latest song, Ford shared, “This was the first time we played these songs in person to anyone. It has a prominently featured foot bass cam. The studio mid-pandemic was set up in this luscious blue opal room. These are the songs as we played them to some beats and triggers. This is OUR future present now.” If you’ve been looking for that next artist that checks all of those boxes, look no further than the dynamic Katrina Ford. I also had a chance to catch up with the artist for a brief interview.

Today I’m excited to share the latest music video from indie pop/rock band Late Cambrian, called “Sydney Sweeney.” In this dystopian-styled song, the band explores the pitfalls of being stuck online with no glimmers of hope to escape the ugliness of this world. The single comes from their upcoming record entitled Future Snacks, where the band shared, “We were originally going to call the album Future Ghosts, but I thought it was too grim,” says Wlaysewski. “Future Snacks came out of that idea of planning for a party, creating an experience, but then underneath that there’s the creeping sense that it can all end at any time. In a way, we’re all future snacks.” If you’re enjoying the new track from Late Cambrian, Future Snacks hits the streets on September 23rd via Mifflin Street Music.

Today I’m excited to share the lead single from indie band Good Sleepy, called “Make Pretend.” The song comes from their forthcoming EP I Better Start Dreaming, which releases on October 21st via No Sleep Records. The EP features three full-band tracks as well as three acoustic ones to round out an EP that showcases the band’s continued songwriting growth. The band shared:

”Make Pretend” is the first single off of our upcoming EP release, titled I Better Start Dreaming Vol. 1. We chose to release this song as a single because we felt it accurately gets many of the main points of the EP across, which is all about setting goals for aimless realities, trying so hard to be happy that you lose sight of what makes you happy, and burning your home town to the ground. “Make Pretend” is a song about regrets and giving yourself another chance when you feel like there won’t ever be another.

If you’re enjoying the latest track, please consider purchasing it here.

Today I’m excited to share the latest music video from singer/songwriter Andrew Pitrone, called “I Talk To The Wind.” In this great, picturesque single, Pitrone channels the best parts of his well-rounded sound in a crowd-pleasing song. Pitrone shared:

When your words seem to fall on closed ears and nothing you say seems to be heard, your words must be swept up to the wind. ‘I Talk To The Wind’ was written in an instance like that. Whatever the circumstances are, we have all had the feeling of being unheard when outspoken. Sometimes the rain is needed to clear the air and refresh the vision. There’s a great story behind the recording of ‘I Talk To The Wind.

If you’re enjoying his latest single, the full EP has been released via Lolipop Records here.

Today is a great day to share the latest single from singer-songwriter Joshua Lewis, called “Heartbreaker.” With soaring vocal harmonies that fit somewhere in between the pop bliss of George Harrison and John Mayer, Joshua Lewis is well on his way to superstardom with great songs like this. “It was all about discipline and motivation to make the best possible thing I was capable of, striving for perfection and doing what I love,” Lewis explains. With his heart firmly planted in the right place, Lewis transcends the boundaries of his music ability in this great-sounding single.

I couldn’t be more excited to bring everyone the latest single from Junro, called “Stay Here Now.” The song builds off of the band’s successful debut EP, Throwing Stones, and speaks to their commitment in putting their best foot forward in their music. The band shared:

”Stay Here Now” is about hating where you are and trying to get out. I moved back to my home town a few years ago with my family and even though we came back on our terms and for our own reasons, it’s hard for me to feel successful living where I grew up. This song is one of the first we sent over to Andrew Groves, the singer and guitar player of Arcane Roots and our producer for ‘Matches’, and it really was the catalyst in our sonic change. We had a ton of fun trying to make the ending sound as massive as possible, layering so many guitars and different sounds. We think the track really defines the new vibe and we hope it hits listeners as hard as we worked on these tracks.

If you’re enjoying the single as much as I have been, please consider purchasing it starting this week. Junro’s new EP, Matches, also features this great single and will be released on November 4th.

Expert Timing returns with their sophomore outing Stargazing, its sound carrying an emotional punch that harkens back to the early emo of Hot Rod Circuit and Hey Mercedes. The record drops on September 23rd via Count Your Lucky Stars Records but we have an exclusive taste with the band’s latest single “New Queen.” Vocalist/bassist Katrina Snyder describes the track as:

It’s incredibly frustrating when you deep dive history and find that women have always been behind so many of the biggest events in history, yet their stories weren’t told and names were rarely printed. Even now, most women can tell you a circumstance in which her accomplishments were pushed aside or credit taken in favor of a man being in the spotlight. “New Queen” is about those forgotten women and celebrating them.
