the federal empire, “i never liked your friends”

the paranoyds, “carnage bargain”
Though we have to wait until September 13th for the debut release from Los Angeles quartet The Paranoyds, we are being kept calm, cool and collected with the release of the music video for their surf-tinged rock single "Carnage Bargain". The group - comprised of Staz...
toopoor, “lamented”
Though the first line of TOOPOOR's new single feels like the intro to an early 2000s pop/punk track, with the quick addition of the instrumentals comes an understanding that her sound exists more in a modern punk sphere, though TOOPOOR's vocals would indicate a hint...
ritt momney, her and all of my friends
Never before have I heard - and perhaps never again will I witness - such an inspired and heart-wrenching album vocally than Salt Lake City act Ritt Momney's debut 13-track collection, Her and All of My Friends. Brainchild Jack Rutter speaks from a space of loss at...

common hours, “looking for anyone”
Rolling, bright and temperate: “Looking for Anyone” is the newest single from self-described “easy listening” group Common Hours, and it’s perfect for a back porch at twilight. This track invites us in with warm shoegazey strums met by a texturizing, Southern-esque...
lulise, “taken”
Recently, we had the wonderful pleasure of sitting down with Lulise to chat for season 2 of our podcast. We have to wait until August to experience that gem, but for now we thought we'd bide some time and premiere her new single, if you're into it. (Frankly, we don't...

darro | r&b influence
This is a playlist blending my R&B influences. It may not show very much in my own music but I'm a huge R&B fan. Most of the vocal melodies I hear in my head stem from R&B artists, (it doesn't mean I can actually sing them though!). This is a mixture of...

santana @ sprint center
The strong scent of incense wafted over the audio gear. We had been standing in the barricades of the photo pit, anxiously awaiting Carlos Santana, for all of three minutes when I realized the footage being played above stage was from Woodstock fifty years ago. This...
