One of my favorite voices (and interviews) has a pair of Christmas classics out and they have that signature Nikki Yanofsky sound. Songwriter Hugh Martin co-wrote “Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas” that Judy Garland then made famous in 1944, and “Marshmallow World,” written by Carl Sigman and Peter De Rose, was first recorded by […]
2022 has turned out to be a pretty great year for the band Everclear. Touring, reissuing a rare and majorly sought after album and writing new music has kept Art Alexakis a very busy man. After speaking with him, I get the feeling he wouldn’t have it any other way. While plotting out and playing […]
For Indie Pop-Rock band Fox Royale, 2022 has shaped up to be a pretty marvelous year. Playing shows, growing their fanbase, announcing their first national headlining tour, creating music and really nailing a radio friendly song with their latest – ‘Carnival Gods’. You love to see a band work as hard as Fox Royale does. […]
There are some things you can manufacture in the recording studio but one thing you cannot manufacture is pure tone. You either have it or you don’t. Kaya Stewart most certainly does. If Things Go South was released today via Bay Street Records and Kaya is ready to share her unique vocal tone along with […]
If there’s one artist I’d want to put on your radar, it would be Forrest Isn’t Dead. This alt-pop dynamo from Atlanta is making waves and releasing music that is not only thought provoking but pleasing to the ear. On September 16th Forrest Isn’t Dead released the full length album – The End Of Everything […]
Israeli/American hard rock solo artist SIMA (Sima Galanti) has released her new single “Angel”. With it comes the distinct vocal traits that Sima is known for. Subtle and gentle tones, enough to lure you in and powerful and aggressive traits when she has you in her web. I especially liked the the harmony vocals that […]
Brazilian-American artist Talkless takes us on a mental spiral with his new alternative rock anthem “Talking To Myself,” out via Uncomfortable Records. There are so many characteristics in this song that made me fall in love with its sound. Starting with the slightly overdriven drum track that feels a little lo-fi and thumpy at the […]
Sometimes a song takes the long road to completion. There’s many reasons why this may happen but if the bones are good it can be worthwhile to revisit and finish. After all, a good song is a good song. In the case of Reece Sullivan’s new 6+ minute epic single, “I Am A Good Man”, […]
The American Broadcasting Company aired The Middle for most of its lifespan on the same night as Modern Family. Modern Family would receive much more publicity than The Middle. More awards, more ratings. Modern Family, however, ceased being terribly funny or entertaining after about four seasons, in spite of the fact that it endured and […]
It was about two years ago that Carly Shea came onto my radar. It was April of 2020 and she released the song ‘Forever’. I still listen to that song and have been following her career ever since. Here we are May of 2022 and Shea has a new earworm for fans. ‘Brush It Off’ […]
