Wendy Bevan – “Innocence” (Video Premiere)

Today I’m thrilled to bring everyone the latest single and cinematic music video from Wendy Bevan called “Innocence.” On this vibrant new track, Bevan weaves in the narrative of capturing the tension between risk and intimacy. Bevan shared:

I’ve always been fascinated by the beauty and risk that coexist with human connection. ‘Innocence’ is about the longing to lose yourself in another person while still searching to understand who you are. It explores that dangerous space between vulnerability, desire, and surrender, between seduction and uncertainty. Being drawn towards something luminous, even when you know it may hurt you. I wanted the song to feel suspended between dream and memory, but with a strong hypnotic vocal that draws you in to the world of a femme fatale you may recognize from a past life. Innocence is like a faded film noir, unfolding at midnight into a dark blue velvet sky, suspended between glamour, danger, and longing.

The song comes from Bevan’s newly announced solo LP, Alone With The Unknown, that will be released on September 18th, 2026.

Today is a great day to share the latest single and music video from singer-songwriter Marc-Alan Prince with the title track from his new album, Runaway. “Runaway” is an incredible song that deserves to be discovered. Marc-Alan Prince shared:

’Runaway’ is a song about growth, fearlessness, and discovery. It reflects my personal journey of leaving home at an early age and moving to the big city before I even knew how to properly read the street signs. When I started out in Austin, I learned more about myself than I could have ever imagined. I discovered not only who I was, but what I wanted to be and who I intended to become. This video was filmed in Texas-the place where it all started, where I made my bones, and where I truly became Marc-Alan Prince.

Today I’m so excited to bring everyone the new music video from a band called Uppity, which comes from the mind of G’Ra Asim, the vocalist/bassist of Baby Got Back Talk. The new single, called “Catch 22,” is a rock song with a beating heart attached to it filled with purpose. On top of the new music video, a companion book from Asim called 99 Problems Finding the 1: a love story (sort of), is now up for preorder here. Uppity shared:

Like the book, the songs deal with the slings and arrows of loving while Black. Black folks are often under pressure to code switch, and as I argue in the book, there’s a lot to be gained from defying that pressure. Sometimes a code is a way of making verboten the very things that need to be said most. Code ditching is catharsis, a way of letting it all out.

If you’re enjoying the video, please consider pre-saving the song here.

Today is a great day to share the latest music video from Chicago punk trio, NightFreak, for their single “Midwest Rattlesnakes.” The title track from their new LP, out everywhere on July 10th via Big Neck Records, this is NightFreak at their leanest and meanest. The band delivers beer drenched chaos, by blending hardcore punk ferocity with metal-inspired riffs, machine gun drumming, and scorched vocals. Recorded by Bobby Hussy (No Coast Records) it’s stripped down, raw metal-tinged punk and it’s mean as hell. The band shared:

This one has a little bit of everything that makes up NightFreak; sick riffs, bitchin’ guitar solos, & killer drumming. We wrote it after a wild gig where we got into a lil’ tussle with another band. It’s full of piss, vinegar, and bravado. It’s a way of saying we don’t fuck around in Chicago and also a shout out to our core group of fans we call the NightFreak NightKrew. We were trying to create something in the spirit of the old 60’s and 70’s music shows like Live Beat or Musikladen TV and we were really influenced by some of the old Black Sabbath and Motorhead footage. We wanted a grimey psychedelic feel, like a good acid trip, and we’re stoked with how it turned out. We shot and edited in the living room of my apartment,100% DIY, on gear we bought thru Amazon and returned when we were finished. Rock n Roll Forever!

Today is a great day to introduce everyone to Brooklyn rock trio A Very Special Episode who are releasing an early look at their latest single and music video for “But I’m A…Starr”. This rock band has a sound that sits somewhere between the realm of Weezer pop sensibilities and the blistering hard rock of Queens of the Stone Age. The band shared, “We only realized after tracking how much Weezer’s ‘Beverly Hills’ must have been a subconscious influence. ‘But I’m a . . . Starr’ is about the anxieties of being in a working DIY band more than anything else. ‘March of the Pigs’ is a big visual inspiration for the upcoming video to be directed by Brendan McKnight.” The band is gearing up for the release of their self-titled EP that hits all streaming services on July 31st. If you’re enjoying the music video, please consider pre-ordering the band’s EP on vinyl here.

Today I’m so excited to bring everyone the latest single and music video from Effie Zilch called “Lover Boy.” This roots-rock band is Steve Wyreman & Evanne Barcenas, and their great musical chemistry together is immediately recognized on vibrant songs like this. The band shared:

Featuring a Benny Benjamin-inspired backbeat, a prominent bass riff, and Vandellas-style background vocals, ‘Lover Boy’ began as something of an inside joke. It quickly evolved into one of the album’s most infectious standouts. Sometimes songs don’t have to say anything deep or important. Some of our favorite music is playful and lighthearted. What is serious about the track is it’s composition, arrangement and style. It’s a fresh take on an old, familiar sound. Sticky-sweet and swaggering, ‘Lover Boy’ brings classic soul revue energy into focus through Effie Zilch’s distinctly Bay Area lens. The accompanying video leans into the song’s vintage charm – shot at historic Sacramento sites once used as film locations for silent-era icons like Charlie Chaplin and Buster Keaton, it pays homage to California’s cinematic history. “We knew we wanted to make a silent film, but how to capture the fun and whimsy of the song eluded us until we fully leaned into the ridiculous. Our video team, Station to Station Creative, didn’t bat an eye at our bizarre treatment. Instead, they went out and found the dapper duck costume the following day. A Flapper, Amelia Earhart, and a proper damsel dame set their eyes a gaze on Mr. Gentleman Duck. Cat and mouse chases, train track mishaps, and old-timey title cards tell the silent tale of this strange love story

If you’re enjoying the new video, please consider pre-saving the band’s new LP, Higher Calling, out everywhere on July 10th via Redtone Records.

Today I’m thrilled to bring everyone the latest single and music video from South London indie folk band, Gently Tender, called “Wild In The Uplands.” The band explains, “‘Wild in the Uplands’ is a song about escape from city to country. It’s about not having respect for fences and private land, roaming free and getting into mischief. Out of all the illegal activities a person can partake in, trespassing is one of the most exhilarating!” The second single from Gently Tender’s new EP called This Was Once Fields, “Wild In The Uplands” captures the free spirit of the band perfectly.

Today is a great day to share the new music video from San Antonio-based punk rock band, Fea, called ”Careful.” The band shares, “‘Careful’ is my personal anthem—a reminder to speak up and not walk on eggshells for anyone. Abuse comes in many forms, and conditioning a person is one of them. I was lucky to have a strong support system, but not everyone has that. Writing this song was cathartic, and I hope it helps anyone who’s been through a similar situation.” The track is especially timely amid broader conversations around sexual assault, abuse of power, and the pressures on women to stay small and quiet—issues that resonate deeply within punk and music communities. With “Careful,” Fea aim to speak directly to younger women and LGBTQ+ listeners, offering guidance from lived experience: be unapologetic, speak up, and don’t shrink yourself for anyone.

Today is a great day to share the latest single and music video from the ultra-talented NYC-based harpist/vocalist, Stephanie Babirak, called “Hey Cain.” Stephanie shared:

This song borrows the story of Cain and Abel to explore the difficulty of accepting a very specific kind of loss. It’s about the grief, sense of betrayal, and disbelief that comes from letting go of someone who is okay with losing you, and how strange it is to mourn someone who’s still alive…someone you still love very much. I was thinking a lot about the First Corinthians verse ‘Love is patient, love is kind’ when I wrote this song, and about how untrue that can be—love can be incredibly painful even when it’s real.

Stephanie Babirak’s talent is on full display on the vibrant lead single from her sophomore album, Rotten Fruit, that will be released on all streaming services on June 12th.
