Taken from her new album Texas Honey, blues/rock songstress Ally Venable drops the new music video for her track “One Sided Misunderstanding” right here, right now. Comprised of beautifully shot footage from what looks to be a studio session, the video displays a little bit more of Venable’s attitude and a whole lot of her live performance flare. You’ll fall in love with the guitar chords, as they dance around her vocals and make you feel just a little more alive than you already did. Explains Venable of the track, “This song is about when you are you are in a situation that seems as if you’ve been put on the back burner, and blamed for something that you didn’t do.”
Take it for a spin below!

Justin Kibbel is a saint. OK, perhaps that’s stretching it… but only a teensy bit. The man is a well-known music industry player in Madison, WI, works for an incredible new venue, runs his own label, and manages a unique and magical indie pop duo named Seasaw. When (if) he has free time, he tends toward international travel, so he’s got some tricks up his sleeve for us on today’s podcast.
What you can probably glean from all of this as that good people exist, you just have to find them. We are so proud to have worked with Justin in the past, and cannot wait to see what the future holds for This Means War!

This month has already been super packed. With SXSW, the announcement of every tour and festival for what seems to be from now until eternity, and throwing ourselves at a few shows in between, we feel like we should be taking a nap. But this month is still so full of vim and vigor — especially with the Spring Equinox at our feet. Featuring Holy Pinto, Fatherson, VanJess, K.Flay, Kero Kero Bonito, A Choir of Ghosts, Scott Lavene, and more, there are so many new visuals to share with your inner circle. So here’s another round of amazing videos that came out this month. Feel from to take a look now, but remember that we update our YouTube playlist throughout the month, so there might be some newbies to glean over the next few days as well!

Rising Taiwanese act The Fur. enjoyed galavanting around SXSW 2019. We know this because they shared a brief glimpse of the experience with us. Check out the view from their lens below, then head over to take a listen to their debut album Town.
“Yes, we are so happy to play at SXSW.”
We got hair done at artist lounge and felt cool and ready to be on stage.
Edit.
Ren made a new friend.
Zero is at Walmart.
We saw someone wearing the same shirt as Ren’s, so took a secret photo with him. Nobody noticed.
It’s challenging to finish a stage setting within a short period of time at B.D. Riley’s. We yelled at each other in Mandarin and moved so quickly to get the change-over done as fast as possible. It’s so much fun to recall how we did the show.
We shopped at a toy store. How we wish to bring all the Rick and Morty toys back to Taiwan but we can’t.
Keep up with The Fur. here.

Pop/rock musician Natalie Lynn has released a sparkling, fun track as her debut with “One”. Starting with upbeat synth and incredibly invigorating percussion, Natalie’s vocals are introduced amidst a cloud of cotton candy sound, strength and vulnerability dripping from her lips. The bridge brings with it more 80s and 90s influence, and we’re fully on board with the freeing, incredible feeling it brings out in all of us.
Natalie Lynn describes the track like a rollercoaster. “Pure excitement and vulnerability. The feeling like you might just be on the top of the world.
