Today I’m beyond thrilled to share the latest music video from alternative rockers Amarionette for their single “Rescue Me.” On this great new track, the second single in total from their upcoming full-length record that will be released later this year, Amarionette channel the best parts of the power-pop genre with heartfelt vocals and their trademark breakneck hooks. With so much positive momentum going their way since the release of their 2020 album, Sunset On This Generation, this band appears poised to continue their incredible artistic trajectory.

Pony Girl – “Enny One Wil Love You” (Video Premiere)

Pony Girl
Adam Grundy

Today I’m thrilled to share the latest music video from indie pop band, Pony Girl, for their new single. With a sound that dazzles as much as it does rock, “Enny One Wil Love You” has hook after hook to stay in your head for days on end. Speaking on their new single, the band shared, “‘Enny One Wil Love You’ sounds like dizzying video game that you’re not sure how to win. While the words actually come from a child’s drawing we saw on tour, it also struck us as the perfect backhanded compliment for false prophets. ‘Anyone will LOVE you’ for their charisma, yet ‘ANYONE will love you’ despite their bullshit. Community doubt only benefits their toxicity, so you better pick a side. The only thing worse than doubt is indifference.” If you’re enjoying the direction Pony Girl are going for on this single, you can purchase the song soon via their Bandcamp page. Their upcoming LP, Enny One Will Love You, will be fully released on October 14th via Paper Bag Records.

Review: Paul Roessler – The Turning Of The Bright World

Adam Grundy

Taking a brave and bold step away from the production boards, Paul Roessler has made an album worthy of your attention in The Turning of the Bright World. Roessler has made a name for himself by producing records for bands like Tombstones in Their Eyes, Josie Cotton, and CrowJane, among many others, and he felt the timing was perfect to make his own creative stamp on the music scene using his voice as a beacon of light inviting listeners of all ages into his headspace. On the new album that released today, Roessler shared, “Each song has its own message, even if sometimes that message could never really be explained. I like those kinds of songs a lot. The music preached to me, and I did my best to deliver what it was saying.” With a steady heartbeat of purpose filled in each song, Roessler has taken full advantage of leaving his legacy through these songs found on this latest LP.

New Jimmy Eat World Single Coming Soon

Jimmy Eat World
Jason Tate

The next single from Jimmy Eat World will be called “Place Your Debts” and is due out at the end of July. The band recently talked with Forbes about the freedom to release music at their own pace:

It’s just that sometimes we’re really excited about a catchy three-minute rock song, sometimes really excited about something that’s like seven minutes and very, very moody and absolutely no hope of Top 40 radio play. But that’s okay. That’s totally cool. Our core audience is pretty hard core. There’s definitely a group of people out there that’ll give us a shot, whether or not a song is on the radio. That’s all you can really hope for I think at the end of the day. Yeah, I don’t feel like we’re competing with anybody, you’re sort of competing with everybody, in a way you’re competing with everybody and no one at the same time. Which is kind of why like, “Okay, so yeah, we have 10 albums already. That’s a lot of material. We’re really gonna add another 12 songs to that? Okay, what are we not gonna play out live now?” It’s a lot to ask people like, “Dude, you got an hour? Check out my band.” It’s really what you’re asking people when you put out an album. I think in a weird way, more people will give a song a shot than maybe track nine on your album that you killed yourself to make. So if the goal is to get things in front of people that they might want to listen to or have a chance of being listened to, asking them for less of their time in one setting, you might actually get them to check it out.

And Zach added a little more detail in our forums:

For NOW we are doing this. Truth is after our touring cycle for Surviving vanished into thin air, the band body clock needs some time to adjust. In the end the thing that prob guides what we do is the music more than anything else. If the pieces feel like they are fitting together in a cohesive vision then that usually points to a larger collection of tunes. Sometimes, especially after releasing 5 albums in a row without an EP or a major stand alone single release, it’s nice to try something different.

Interview: Short Fictions

Short Fictions
Adam Grundy

Recently I was able to catch up with the alternative rock/emo band, Short Fictions, shortly after they released their great new album called Every Moment of Every Day, their third LP to date. In this interview, I asked the band about what the album title means to them, the lessons they’ve learned by playing in this genre of music over the years, the band’s key musical influences, as well as a fun question on their “dream billing” to tour the world with. Every Moment of Every Day is available for purchase here.
