  • Strangely MORE THAN Alright: “Not The End” by Strangely Alright

    Strangely MORE THAN Alright: “Not The End” by Strangely Alright

    What’s also of interest about this single, is that it is the second of a four-song arc that began this year with the single, “Life in 3.” I thought that was a pretty cool idea. We are all familiar with concept albums, but I don’t believe I have ever seen a band apply a “concept”…

    Dream of a Man in a Top Hat – “Opposite Poles”

    “I wish I could tell you what this song is really about but I haven’t got a clue – I only have theories. Michael wrote the words and sang them (in his “vocal booth” which resembles a homemade sarcophagus but is actually quite comfortable). I did not ask nor did he offer the true meaning…

  • Motihari Brigade’s super groovy new album “Algorithm & Blues”

    Motihari Brigade’s super groovy new album “Algorithm & Blues”

    The album’s cover art features red wine spilling from a shattered glass of elegant stemware, symbolizing the decadent party that is now winding down while a new generation seeks its place in a diminished world. Motihari Brigade

  • Chip Pirrs an undying hope in “Tønder”

    Chip Pirrs an undying hope in “Tønder”

    “Tønder is a town in southern Denmark. People in Europe specifically in Germany and surrounding countries go there to get married. Think kind of like Las Vegas but with less pizazz. It can be an adventure to travel there and when you get there you have to set up “residency” in the town before you…

  • Lonnieclaire – “Flock o’ Fakes”

    Lonnieclaire – “Flock o’ Fakes”

    “Flock o’ Fakes” by Lonnieclaire is an original fusion of grunge and rock but also power pop. A slightly disharmonic, vastly original tune that brings together lofi textures with a familiar sound.

  • RUIZ! – “ONE RULE”

    RUIZ! – “ONE RULE”

    “We are being treated like fools, the cost of living is becoming unbelievable, and unpayable by the majority of people, whilst the rich, and in power get richer… I know this has been going on around the world for decades now. We need a change. A revolution? Stay safe, keep on keeping on!” Ruiz!

  • Near Death Experience (NDX) – “Living”

    Near Death Experience (NDX) – “Living”

    Ian ‘Lightning’ Whiteling’s vocals shine with graceful highs and lows and layered do-wop harmonies while Bill ‘The Professor’ Mar-ten hits the keys of an encircling organ. Amar ‘The Groovemeister’ Grover on bass and Alan ‘The Milkman’ Perkins on drums and percussion rack up their accolades with a playful beat and skillful harmony.

  • Desert Ships – “Watching The World Stop”

    Desert Ships – “Watching The World Stop”

    “Watching The World Stop” by Desert Ships is as hypnotic as it is bitter-sweet, as it tells the tale of one man’s desire to escape through his roof from the mad times that surround us. Needless to say, we’ve all been that man, or woman, and in fact an immediate escape would be very refreshing…

  • PANTHALASSA – “SWIMMING THE SURPLUS (DRIFTING)”

    PANTHALASSA – “SWIMMING THE SURPLUS (DRIFTING)”

    “This track is about procrastinating at work or home, when you can end up surfing the internet for hours without even noticing. This track tries to capture the psychedelic aspect of ‘losing hours and hours’ of time to a surplus activity, hence the title, and the trippy guitar riff that comes in. The style of…

  • FLATFOOT SAM DOPE NEW SINGLE “BOATHOUSE”

    FLATFOOT SAM DOPE NEW SINGLE “BOATHOUSE”

    “It is about the relationship between earth, wind, and water, and all of the deep resonance that we as humans can feel when humbled by their enormity, often putting perspective into our own place in the world, when our daft egos can convince us otherwise.” – Flatfoot Sam

  • Stuart Pearson – “Devil Whammy”

    Stuart Pearson – “Devil Whammy”

    “I wrote it at 5 AM and wasn’t quite aware of my surroundings yet! “Devil Whammy” is the second official release from the next Dark Americana album (“Where Are You?” was the first one).” Stuar Pearson

  • THE QWARKS FANTASTIC NEW TRACK “INFLUENCER”

    THE QWARKS FANTASTIC NEW TRACK “INFLUENCER”

    “We felt funky and we felt inspired by the wonderful ways in which consumer lifestyles are now sold to us every second of every day. What a time to be alive! We were compelled to engage with this issue through the medium of funky psychedelic rock. We did not have a choice in the matter,…
