Today I’m thrilled to bring everyone the new single and lyric video from Victory Kid called “No Brakes.” This high-energy new single capitalizes on the momentum gained from their previous LP Discernation, and was recorded with Mike Pepe (Taking Back Sunday). Lead vocalist Harrison Nida shared this about the blazing new track, “The song is about ditching doubt, toxic thoughts, and anything else that may hold you back. Recognizing those as they come up and releasing them to become the best version of yourself.” By putting their best foot forward, Victory Kid are keeping excitement in their band high as we turn the page on 2022.

Kristin Robinson, writing at Billboard:

Within a year of posting as Mostley Music, Motley found himself suddenly able to break into the industry which felt impenetrable to him just months earlier. Atlantic and Interscope/ Darkroom offered him A&R consultant gigs and Spotify tapped him as co-host of their Spotify Live show Lorem Life. And just a few months ago, Motley co-founded a label of his own. Called Music Soup, the record label provides expertise in digital marketing and was the first to use TikTok Sound On as a distributor. Motley says if it hadn’t been for building out Mostley Music during quarantine, he’d probably be working his way up slowly in the ranks from the assistant level of a record label – not founding his own at age 24.
Us silly bloggers are so behind the times it’s not even funny.

With the absolute shit show going on at Twitter, I’ve created a new bot over on Mastodon that acts like our Twitter account did and posts the news from our homepage.
I’m also over there as well. I’ve posted up some basic tips for finding people quickly, and I am toying around with the idea of running a music-centric instance myself. (Thoughts on the URL ideas?)
Here are some invites to mastodon.social, and if you’re in a band, or run a record label, or are a music writer, sign-up! We need more music voices over there.
