The main things that make up the Calmgrove sound, like palm-muted riffs, catchy vocals, and energetic drums are still present, but we pushed ourselves creatively with these songs. 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.

It is the most sublime form of surrender, and it holds within itself the power to set us Free.

Nicholas Hamilton – “Alone” (Song Premiere)

Nicholas Hamilton

Today is a great day to share the latest single from actor turned pop singer/songwriter, Nicholas Hamilton, called “Alone.” The song comes from his forthcoming EP, FATE, that will be out this summer. Hamilton shared, “Growing up, and even as I moved into my 20’s, I loved the independence of being on my own. No one to report to or rely on, just me, myself and I. The moment I moved to NYC at the end of 2021, after almost a year of floating around the world, sleeping on couches and shooting movies with barely a cent in my bank account, I felt different. I wanted to experience life with someone. I found myself calling my parents more often, making plans to hang out with friends, just to escape the suddenly dreaded feeling of being alone. ‘Alone’ was born out of this sensation, which was as foreign to me as the city I’d just moved to. ‘Alone’ is not what it once was. Remember when it was nice?'” I was also able to catch up with Nicholas for a brief interview below.
