Jess Nolan – “Emergency Landing” (Song Premiere)

Today I’m thrilled to share with everyone the latest single from Nashville singer-songwriter, Jess Nolan, called “Emergency Landing.” The vibrant track tackles the theme of having to be “on” all the time, and making sure to take care of yourself in this crazy world that we all live in. With a sound that strays somewhere between the styling of Lucy Dacus, paired with the picturesque storytelling of Joni Mitchell, Jess Nolan is truly onto something magical here. Nolan shared:

I wrote this song with my friends, Hadley Kennary and Jake Finch, on a day when we were lamenting about the societal pressure to be “on” all the time. We live in a world that glamorizes the grind and doesn’t prioritize rest. It’s up to us as individuals to draw our own boundaries around what we need to recharge. Taking days off and spending time alone helps me show up more fully for the people around me. Instead of viewing it as selfish, I now see it as a sacred step in community care. My hope is that we can all give ourselves a high level of compassion for our own needs so that we can better serve others. Take a breath! We don’t need permission to care for ourselves.

If you’re enjoying this latest single, more music is expected soon from Jess Nolan via Righteous Babe Records.

Divided Heaven – “Clean Sheets” (Song Premiere)

Today I’m excited to bring everyone the latest single from Divided Heaven, a cover of a Descendents classic, “Clean Sheets.” The single features a collaboration from Matze Rossi, and highlights Divided Heaven’s dedication to their punk roots as well as moving the needle in the artistic development. Lead vocalist, Jeff Berman, shared this about the cover song:

I heard Bill Stevenson say that he wrote ‘Clean Sheets’ in one swoop. It just came to him. About ten years ago, I was working on a riff that sounded too familiar; took me a moment but I soon discovered it was ‘Clean Sheets.’ The lyrics immediately came to me and it just felt right. My favorite Descendents song, ‘Clean Sheets,’ beautifully translates to the acoustic guitar. Add a pinch of tenderness and the incredible, incomparable, Matze Rossi, and this classic punk song resonates in a new beautiful darkness. Much love to Bill for writing it, Stephen for being my favorite guitar player, and to all that give it a listen.

Divided Heaven’s latest LP, Oblivion, is out now via A-F Records here.

Tacos! – “Kick Rocks” (Song Premiere)

Tacos!
Adam Grundy

Today is a great day to share the new single from Seattle-based metal/punk trio, Tacos!, called “Kick Rocks.” Band members Lupe Flores, Donovan Stewart, and Hozoji Matheson-Margullis catch lightning in a bottle on this politically-charged song that transcends genre lines. Donovan Stewart shared:

This is by far one of the hardest hitting songs, out of the gate on this record. One of the first songs we co-wrote with the addition of Hozoji in Lupe’s cave of a basement in Ballard. Expressively charged by all the things happening at the time but none more hard to swallow than the prevailing racial injustice happening around the nation. Often shielded and in a false sense of security, our area in the Northwest wasn’t without its own problems. Coupling this with the insane unknowing day to day activities that the pandemic presented us, it was easy to let loose a barrage of lyrics and hammering riffs. Jam your whole fist down your venom spitting throat so you can vomit up all those demons you’ve been forced to swallow.

The single comes from the band’s forthcoming LP, 3, that will be released on August 4th via Nadine Records.

These songs are meant to be played loud, so go for a drive and blast it with the windows down. We hope you enjoy it and we’ll see you at a show this summer!” If you’re enjoying the EP, you can purchase it wherever you stream your music on June 16th.

Today, Los Angeles alt rockers Animal Sun have released a fiery, animated visual for their new single, “Wolves.” The track, which features driving guitars and impassioned lyrics, comes as the band begins to tease an upcoming EP this summer. Sara Blake (vocalist) shared, “You are given two choices in this life. Either run with the pack or rebel and be thrown to the wolves. This song delves deep into the question, is it better to be a trailblazer?” Emerging alternative rock band Animal Sun is highly driven and always focused on creating new content with edgy elements like that of Palaye Royale, The Killers, and Muse. As they lead up to a new EP this summer, Animal Sun continues to push forward by releasing singles and hopes to be out on the road again soon.
