I’d like to introduce you to a great pop, rock and rap-based band out of L.A. called Tempoh Slow. The band, who reminds me the emo-tinged rap/rock of Twenty One Pilots and the atmospheric feel of The Neighbourhood, are onto some great things on “Villains In Love.” The performance-based music video features vocals from LUNA AURA, and the band rallies around the catchy chorus to make for a memorable single.

Straylight Run played their first show in 12 years last night, and Brooklyn Vegan has some photos from the show:
Straylight Run’s nine-song setlist pulled almost entirely from their debut, hitting underrated cuts like “The Tension and the Terror,” “Tool Sheds and Hot Tubs,” “Sympathy For the Martyr,” “For the Best,” and “Another Word for Desperate,” as well as the bigger fan faves like “Your Name Here (Sunrise Highway)” (which John opened by telling the crowd how the “very Long Island” song took place on a street that was just around the corner, and also how technically the song references “Carmans Rd,” but that he changed it to “Carmans Avenue” so it would rhyme), and of course “Hands in the Sky (Big Shot)” and “Existentialism on Prom Night,” both of which had the crowd singing like they thought no one was listening.

Andy Hull of Manchester Orchestra sat down to talk with Consequence:
He says that when he was younger, he worried about turning into one of those cranks as he aged — or worse yet, running out of new material. “It used to be something that scared me, especially as an artist, because I think earlier in my career I hadn’t really gotten over the imposter syndrome of, ‘If these people find out that you aren’t really that good, it’s all going to be over.’”
But he’s been at this for a while now, and some of that doubt is starting to disappear. “Chances are, I’m probably not going to run out of songs. As long as I approach my work honestly and with excellence and really try to make the best thing that I can, there is no ceiling to it.
The Vinyl Resurgence Continues
Zachary Crockett, writing at The Hustle:
For modern-day indie artists, it’s a welcome boom. A vinyl record costs ~$7 to manufacture, and a band typically sells it directly to fans for $25, good for $18 in profit. By contrast, streaming services only pay out a fraction of a penny for each listen. A band would have to amass 450k streams on Spotify to match the profit of 100 vinyl sales.
Broken Field Runner – “Save You” (Video Premiere)
Today I’m thrilled to share the latest single from Los Angeles’ own Broken Field Runner, for “Save You.” In this great sounding track, that sounds like a blend between Jimmy Eat World and Hey Mercedes, the band explodes out of the speakers with an emotive force not usually seen with this much urgency. Vocalist/guitarist Tony Bucci shared this about the new single:
‘Save You’ is one of the best songs I’ve ever written. Every so often I write a song and every song I write after it I’ll ask myself, ‘When am I going to write another <fill in the blank>?’ ‘Save You’ is an example of that. It’s one of the only songs in the trilogy of releases that we were able to play live before the pandemic hit, and it has an urgency and energy to it in the live setting. I wrote it for two good friends of mine who experienced a devastating loss and when I shared the demo with them it brought them to tears. In fact, when I sent initial mixes of the song to Dane at Jetsam-Flotsam he replied, ‘If the rest of Runner sounds like this, I’m going to lose my shit.’ It also includes some of my favorite recent lyrics at the end of the song: ‘You are the sun in my horizon / the moon is a lighthouse watching over the cliff / there’s a shore / in the distance a few miles more / called acceptance.'”
If you’re digging this song as much as I think you will, consider pre-ordering the trilogy here.
