Long Beach, CA Punk/Metal band CARSEX have released their ferocious new EP “Human Interest”, which is a deep dive into timely themes about the current state of our chaotic world.

Las Vegas based Rock artist Freemoor is surging into 2025 by sharing his soulful new song “Affliction”. The track was produced by noted session guitarist and producer Adrian Andres (Cirque Du Soleil, Maeve) at Mouse Trap Studios in Toronto, Canada. “Affliction” is an homage to the unfortunate demise of creative people who have succumbed to their demons,
Alex Haughey’s new film is Under the Influencer, now available on streaming (Apple TV, Amazon). At first glance, the zany satirical comedy feels like something akin to a Harmony Korine picture, complete with dazzling color, meticulous framing (shout out to cinematographer Matthew Lynn, QC’s It Lives Inside), and strange and offbeat characterization. Quickly though, we’re

San Francisco has a historical reputation as a countercultural haven for music such as The Grateful Dead, and Jefferson Airplane, but artists such as Gene O illustrate the community’s diversity. The longtime vocalist, guitarist, and lead songwriter for 80s pop maestros The Make is cut from a decidedly broader cloth than those aforementioned peers. His
We are happy to spend some time today with the talented Nashville based producer Kara Greskovic. Thank you for taking time to talk with us. Can you tell us a little about your story, where you started and where you are now? Of course, thanks for having me! I’m originally from Scranton, PA (where the
Step into room, and you will see Henri Cainglet’s work. The Filipino native has an undeniable, visual aesthetic that inspires both delightful bewilderment, and a sense of all-encompassing, wild-eyed immersion. There’s something refreshingly modern about his style, whilst simultaneously displaying a kind of timelessness. Mr. Cainglet’s mixture of his cultural roots with elements of key
Now and again, someone with a brave voice comes around to say the things that need to be said the most without even batting an eye, and for fans of mild-mannered pop/rock, Rob Alexander could be that someone in 2023. His new single, “Get Over Yourself,” takes a somewhat basic bassline, shy synth melodies, and
Two people can connect in incredible ways through the majesty of melodicism, and perhaps spring is the best time for a smart duet to debut, as it matches the tone of the season better than most any other kind of song in pop music can. Bruce Sudano is crooning alongside a worthy collaborator in Valerie
“If you feel that you have begun, or are in the midst of a spiritual awakening, you should consider yourself lucky,” writes Ora Nadrich in her new book, titled Time to Awaken: Changing the World with Conscious Awareness. “Not everyone gets a chance to emerge from what I call a ‘sleepwalker trance’, and find themselves
Extended plays are too often wrought with unfocused passion and a lingering hesitant execution that is common among players in a transitional state of creativity, but this isn’t true of DEVORA’s God is Dead. Consisting of four simple but thoroughly engaging compositions, God is Dead is an EP feels more like a miniature album than it is a
It isn’t often that a synthesizer dishes out the sort of endearing melodicism that we normally associate almost exclusively with string instruments in western pop music, but that’s exactly what audiences can expect to discover in the charming “Shame,” from the acclaimed Migrant Motel. Through their boisterous and evocative harmonization with the lead vocal, we
Williamson Branch are not newcomers to the bluegrass world. The five-piece family group has amassed an ever-growing reputation as one of the most well-rounded acts in this style that you will ever hear and their new collection Very Merry Christmas. The fourteen songs slated for inclusion on the album range from traditional Christmas material played straight,
Guitar-driven melodies were once overwhelmingly commonplace in metal and hard rock music, but in 2022, they’re not quite as contemporary as they used to be. This isn’t because of an underground lacking in fret-born energy, however, and the likes of Dark Below are challenging the narrative with their new single “Hate Being Human” this autumn.
There aren’t as many detail-oriented players in the pop genre as there were, say, ten years ago, but that isn’t stopping miQa.el from taking intricacies pretty seriously in his new single “Walking Medicine.” Where a lot of artists would have streamlined the hook in this inviting new track, miQa.el works out a rigid groove and
To know Paul Oakenfold’s original angle on “Ready Steady Go” and then hear Sick Puppies’ take on it, there was obviously a boost in adrenaline and percussion added into the mix. Even folks who might not be able to place the track will have undoubtedly heard it in numerous films, such as Collateral and The Bourne Identity,
It’s a curious thing, a thin thread to traverse. Some bands can sound like they are from a particular school, a style or influence coloring their music; yet possess one crucial idiosyncratic quality or attribute that spins their music off into multiple possibilities. Messer is one of those bands. The hard rock outfit out of

Contrast can be your best friend or your worst enemy in a recording studio and beyond, and for artist and acclaimed pianist Elizabeth Sombart, it’s the former more than it is the latter.

Little Hurt is the solo project, of a sort, for former Mowglis front-man Colin Dieden and its new single “Cooler If U Did” sticks with you like a particularly artful rant.

Many likely harbor a preconceived notion of music executives as being either sunglass-clad hipsters with patter galore and stylish haircuts or else as stodgy and portly old white men smoking cigars and married to a model a decade or more their junior. Bob Morelli blasts such stereotypes to smithereens. He’s much more in the mold
