Adam Grundy Oct 13, 2022

Today is a great day to share the latest single from singer-songwriter Wesley called “Not Sure That Was Me.” For those unfamiliar with the artist, he would fit in the same vein of fans of Kurt Vile and Arthur Russell. On the latest music video, Wesley shared, “I’ve always really liked those red glowing eyes in movies and things. Like in Uncle Boonmee Who Can Recall His Past Lives, and the Cure’s video for ‘Boys Don’t Cry.’ I cut red reflective tape and put it over my eyes. At one point I was standing on the top of a ladder in the dark with tape over my eyes. I wouldn’t want to do it again.” Be sure to keep your eyes peeled for Wesley’s new LP Glows in the Dark, out everywhere on November 11th via Earth Libraries.

Today is a great day to share the latest single and music video from Tearing Up called “Highway Bandits.” Tearing Up comes from the mind of Graham Caldwell and his creative energy that he puts into this new project is felt far and wide. On the name of the band, Caldwell shared, “Growing up, I loved punk bands that sneered in the face of authority, demanding their voice be heard. They made me feel like I was stronger than I was. I was the kind of person who avoided conflict since I’d lose every fight I’d end up in, but there’s still a part of me that itches to get its hands dirty, hence the name: Tearing Up.” The single comes from the recently announced debut EP called Billy Is Dead, out everywhere music is sold on October 14th.

Today is the perfect day to share a blast from the past. Spain have returned with a new single and video for their latest song called “Her Used To Been.” The song comes from the band’s new LP entitled World of Blue, out everywhere music is sold today. On the latest single, the band shared:

In the late 1980s, I worked as a music librarian at KCRW while taking college classes at Santa Monica College. One of the perks of the job was taking home lots of great music. The music director let me keep a Bessie Smith box set, and I listened to those discs all the time. ‘Her Used-To-Been’ is paraphrased from a Bessie Smith song about how the protagonist goes back to her abusive ex-. In my version, I’m the protagonist and I’m telling Bessie to not go back.

Step right up if you’re ready to experience some music that makes you feel something magical in its delivery.

Today is a great day to share indie-pop star, Parris Mitchell, and his new lyric video for “Your Only.” This New York-based singer-songwriter channels the best parts of the pop genre in this crowd-pleasing new single. On the track, Mitchell shared:

I wanted this song to feel like the tension before a kiss. Being in between who you were before and after it. Not love gained or lost but the middle child of the two. I had the most fun writing this one, the songs that pour out immediately usually are. There’s a lot of elements to this song that excite me, especially the ripping saxophones paired with the 80’s-esque drums. I love this song deeply and I hope you can hear that through its soaring vocals and production.

If you’re ready to take the next step in joining Parris Mitchell in his musical evolution, there’s no better time than now. I was also able to catch up with the artist for a brief interview.

Today is a great day to share a live performance from Baltimore experimental rock duo, The Furniture. The band recently released their debut, self-titled LP via the label, Spanish Prayers. On this latest performance-based video, the band shared, “From a distance this band has two moving parts but when you’re able to peer over our shoulders and under our noses, there’s a lot more going on. It’s almost like a micro-world happening with the various instruments and sound makers. The video captures this beautifully, putting the viewer in the micro-world.” If you’ve been looking for that next great rock band that transcends musical genres, look no further than the ultra-talented The Furniture.

Today is the perfect day to share Atlanta punk rock band, New Junk City, latest music video called “High Contrast.” In this great-sounding single, the band channel their love of Tom Petty with more of a Green Day styling to it. The band fits well in the scheme of fans of The Menzingers and Kali Masi. Band leader, John Vournakis, shared this about the new single, “It’s pretty on the nose – just about making an effort to remind myself of those moments when the clouds part, the light shines in, and I can see all the good, positive things in my life instead of staying focused on everything that is fucked up, rotten, and ugly. I’m certainly guilty of this, but I think a lot of songwriters use misery, dissatisfaction or self loathing as the defacto starting point. There’s nothing wrong with that, and I frequently feel that way, but it’s where I’ve always written from, and I just wanted to try to write a positive song for once.” By facing their hardest challenges head on, New Junk City have crafted a masterful new single.

Today is the perfect day to share the latest music video from Katrina Ford, a performance video of her single “Peace Out.” In this latest song, Ford shared, “This was the first time we played these songs in person to anyone. It has a prominently featured foot bass cam. The studio mid-pandemic was set up in this luscious blue opal room. These are the songs as we played them to some beats and triggers. This is OUR future present now.” If you’ve been looking for that next artist that checks all of those boxes, look no further than the dynamic Katrina Ford. I also had a chance to catch up with the artist for a brief interview.

Today I’m excited to share the latest music video from indie pop/rock band Late Cambrian, called “Sydney Sweeney.” In this dystopian-styled song, the band explores the pitfalls of being stuck online with no glimmers of hope to escape the ugliness of this world. The single comes from their upcoming record entitled Future Snacks, where the band shared, “We were originally going to call the album Future Ghosts, but I thought it was too grim,” says Wlaysewski. “Future Snacks came out of that idea of planning for a party, creating an experience, but then underneath that there’s the creeping sense that it can all end at any time. In a way, we’re all future snacks.” If you’re enjoying the new track from Late Cambrian, Future Snacks hits the streets on September 23rd via Mifflin Street Music.

Today I’m excited to share the latest music video from singer/songwriter Andrew Pitrone, called “I Talk To The Wind.” In this great, picturesque single, Pitrone channels the best parts of his well-rounded sound in a crowd-pleasing song. Pitrone shared:

When your words seem to fall on closed ears and nothing you say seems to be heard, your words must be swept up to the wind. ‘I Talk To The Wind’ was written in an instance like that. Whatever the circumstances are, we have all had the feeling of being unheard when outspoken. Sometimes the rain is needed to clear the air and refresh the vision. There’s a great story behind the recording of ‘I Talk To The Wind.

If you’re enjoying his latest single, the full EP has been released via Lolipop Records here.

I couldn’t be more excited to bring everyone the latest single from Junro, called “Stay Here Now.” The song builds off of the band’s successful debut EP, Throwing Stones, and speaks to their commitment in putting their best foot forward in their music. The band shared:

”Stay Here Now” is about hating where you are and trying to get out. I moved back to my home town a few years ago with my family and even though we came back on our terms and for our own reasons, it’s hard for me to feel successful living where I grew up. This song is one of the first we sent over to Andrew Groves, the singer and guitar player of Arcane Roots and our producer for ‘Matches’, and it really was the catalyst in our sonic change. We had a ton of fun trying to make the ending sound as massive as possible, layering so many guitars and different sounds. We think the track really defines the new vibe and we hope it hits listeners as hard as we worked on these tracks.

If you’re enjoying the single as much as I have been, please consider purchasing it starting this week. Junro’s new EP, Matches, also features this great single and will be released on November 4th.

Mother Sun – “Orange Colossus” (Video Premiere)

Adam Grundy Aug 24, 2022

Today I’m thrilled to share the latest music video from Mother Sun called “Orange Colossus.” The single comes from the band’s forthcoming LP Train of Thought, out everywhere music is sold on October 28th via Earth Libraries. Guitarist Jared Doherty shared:

”Orange Colossus” is about the way ignorance can grab a hold of an ugly thought and mutate it into resentment and hate. Angry fuzzed out verses describe the narrator’s unchecked frustrations, which are countered by melodic choruses urging the pursuit of understanding and empathy as ways to combat falling into cycles of negativity and instead promote an openness to learn and grow.

If you’re ready to take the next dramatic leap forward, Mother Sun are prepared to shine your path ahead.
