lana blac, “creature features”
I chose to make this playlist because these songs have inspired me through my musical journey and are a huge inspiration on the music I'm making today. I know they're all over the place genre-wise but I feel they all come together to make the sound I'm trying to make!...
alezzandra, “wicked creations”
The beauty of a great song for me has always been when a slow dark song or an underground uptempo dance song can move me the exact same way. One moment I can dance or run to it, the other just lay in bed & let the song take me away. When that feeling occur the...

the split seconds, “the dirty depth of classic punk”
Punk is a genre that has always been known for its simplicity and raw, primitive sound. Many music fans write off the genre entirely because they believe that music must be complex and polished to be great. But this couldn't be further from the truth. In the 70's a...
the dtease, “anarchy on the playlist”
We wanted to pick a theme that relates to the type of music we played, the music that influenced our sound, and the music that speaks to each of us personally. A couple suggestions came out that had the words glitter, psychonautic and rock, but we eventually settled...
amanda brown, “on the road again”
I’ve been traveling around the world as a touring musician for most of my adult life. In recent years, I've compiled an eclectic list of songs that I occasionally turn to. Whether I'm on a plane, getting ready for a show, or simply hanging in my hotel room, these...
brother hawk, “songs we jam in the van”
We listen to countless songs on tour, but these are the real standout rippers. The ones all four of us love with equal enthusiasm. The cream. The real heaters. The club bangers. The upper echelon type jams. The burner herzogs. Basically 11/10 hot fire cuts. THE...
