  • ONEDAYBEAR – “MARRY YOU”

    ONEDAYBEAR – “MARRY YOU”

    There are some unique qualities to his music, which by the way carries a very analog sound. It is filled with color, interesting drum grooves, as well as catchy melodies. His upcoming single “Marry You” is a fairly optimistic track that channels all of his Manchester roots. Although there might be some sense of nostalgia…

    “It seemed fitting to combine a psychedelic-tinted lyricism, hints of anthemic uplift, and darker reflections on spaces riven by spiritual dereliction.” – Ian Rowley

    Considering The Chemistry Set’s veteran presence and cult status in the psychedelic rock scene, it comes as no surprise that the album marking their 35th anniversary is a highly enjoyable and thoroughly impressive work.

  • Parallel – Parallel (Original EP)

    Parallel – Parallel (Original EP)

    Parallel’s self-titled EP is quite an impressive debut release, and a compellingly engaging listen throughout; at the same time that the songs on the EP convey the wistful feelings of isolation that listeners will surely relate to, their powerfully dreamy atmospheres also bring about a relaxing sense of tranquility. Highly recommended.

  • Red Skies Mourning- “Where You Been?”

    Red Skies Mourning- “Where You Been?”

    The backstory is not knowing that you’re hurting someone due to your own internal issues(low self esteem, self doubt, thinking that person is out of your league, you don’t deserve them and other struggles…). Only realizing what you’ve done after that person opens up about not feeling important or worthy and they eventually leave, hurt.…

    “Days” is inspired by the landscape of Myrtle Beach and how it transforms throughout the day and the changing seasons. Nesmith makes us feel just how special this place is by his poetic lyrics. The music by itself has a dreamlike feel to it.

  • Jess Porter- “Overplayed”

    Jess Porter- “Overplayed”

    “I wanted the strength of the melody and lyrics to shine through, which are important to me on this song. It’s about meeting someone – a friend or a lover – you care deeply about, but you know it’s just not the right time to be able to develop the relationship. You feel sad, but…

  • A. B. Violet – “EQUINOX”

    A. B. Violet – “EQUINOX”

    All my tracks are a little insight into my story and mental health matters. Music inspires me, generally: I think it can be so powerful, but it’s more about what motivates me, rather than inspires. I always hope that with each track, someone can relate in some way, feel like they’re not alone, that their story matters and are encouraged…
