Over the course of the last decade, the Striving Artists company has carved out a name for themselves. Coming into creation in 2006, Striving Artists held a number of holiday shows before deciding to place their performances onto a home audio format. This led to the creation of the Christmas with the SAC Pack album in 2012 and Spare Ornaments in 2013. 2017 brought the release of the Jesus Christ…
In March of 2017, Massachusetts-based Striving Artists released their own take on the musical Jesus Christ Superstar. Beginning with an immediate jolt, the Overture will have listeners eagerly sitting at the edges of their seats. The guitar work and brooding drum work creates a haunting tone that gradually opens up into the frenetic, high-energy sound that will permeate the rest of the recordings.
2016 marked the first time Georgia’s own Terrapin Brewing placed their imperial oatmeal stout Wake-N-Bake into cans, and was one of the first times that we in Ohio were easily able to get their products. The Wake-N-Bake is a delectable beer with a strong coffee flavor, due to the contributions from Jittery Joe’s Coffee.
Avantist has released a new amazing single called “Tidalwave”, the song is a bassy pop song with a touch of electro. Avantist’ vocals remind one of a young Anthony Kiedis or Julian Casablancas of The Strokes. This song is a lot of fun, the production is tight and the instrumentation really increases the vocalist abilities. I think that fans of The White Stripes or Franz Ferdinand would enjoy the sounds…
Will Jay’s new single “leading Man’ is great new pop song for the summer. It’s an up beat and fun single, the lyrics are playful but ask the question “why can’t he get a change”. The beat is produced masterfully, it easy going pop song that enhances Will’s lyrics. The arrangement make sure that each part of the song is equally presented. I think that fans of Ed Shreean or…
The SLVR Tongues new single “S-Class” has been one of the best songs I’ve came across this year. The vocalists are accompanied but a unique mixture of Country and Electric music, honestly they are almost like a Country version of the Chainsmokers. The song is produced well, the music is funk and fun and the arrangement is fantastic, nothing over powers each other. It’s really refreshing to hear that Country…
Today, we are speaking to Japanese performer. DOHKE, Atsuo. Can you give us a little background information about yourself? How did you get into music? Answer: Actually I did not plan to have a music career until I was 18-year-old. However, I had had an intention from high school days to play a certain instrument on my entrance into college. So, I had started to play the mandolin from the…
The new Highland Kites EP “I’m Not Weak” begins with Nothing To Say. This track is built upon powerful, female vocals that have an equally assertive set of drums as their counterpoint. There are hints to acts like The Cranberries, Milky Chance, and Sarah McLachlan. The two-part dynamic between the guitars and the heartbeat-like drums establish Monster in a wholly different avenue than I’m Not Weak. The airy, ethereal vocals…
Every Other Sunday has just released their debut single “Ghost”. With a focal guitar line that builds off of 1970s rock, what Every Other Sunday does with their debut single Ghost is make for a unique bit of rock. The raw power of the vocals and the situation that is discussed – a lost love – is something that can be appreciated by anyone that has been in that situation.…
Aim With the Arrow begins the new The SHRIMPS album Abstracts and Keywords. The track is a fantastic challenging of genre conventions. There are hints of Jane’s Addiction, O.A.R., and the Dave Matthews Band here. Make It Better is another great track in that it has the instrumentation front and center. While the vocals are a focal point of this song, everything combines to make for a fully engrossing effort – imagine…
