Singer/Songwriter Paul Nourigat Releases New Music

Paul Nourigat isn’t going to let the world and life he loves sink down the drain, if that’s where it’s headed, without saying something about it. His EP collection of demos Complex Truths presents listeners with three tracks that tackle modern life with unsparing contempt for anything that strikes Nourigat as limiting individual potential. Potential is a wide thing. It’s potential for happiness, material success, and decision-making mundane and large, and Nourigat…

Les Fradkin Drops New Single

Les Fradkin’s return under the moniker California feat. Les Fradkin isn’t any attempt to cash in on a moribund but potentially lucrative musical brand name. The band’s original incarnation notched a few hits in the 1970s before bowing out at the dawn of the 1980s. Rejuvenating the band sounds and feels like unfinished business for Fradkin, however. The new single “Perfect World” is unquestionably pop. The harmony vocals, piano, guitar,…

Singer/Songwriter Ralph Curtis Releases “Man You Want Me To Be”

The newest single by Country Singer/Songwriter, Ralph Curtis, is an emotional trigger, in the quietest way possible. While that description may sound like something of an oxymoron, there’s just such a contemplative and gentile quality to “Man You Want Me To Be.” The song begins with a hollow and unobtrusive piano riff, yet it manages to immediately subdue your sensibilities. At 5 minutes in length, “Man You Want Me To…

Pistols at Dawn Release New Music

You could say that there are a lot of big concept pieces in mainstream rock right now and you’d be 100% right, if not understating the situation just a bit in 2022. Everyone hates the term progressive when it comes to contemporary rock aesthetics, but when it comes to embracing the qualities of storytelling and camp that made prog what it always was, most are going full-steam ahead; save for…

A few minutes with Sp8ce Owl

“Digital Breathing” has incredibly mesmerizing visuals! How do you feel all of the clips included came together to encompass the sound and feel of the track? I am very happy with how the video came together. This song is one of the more narrative based releases. I feel the video really encapsulated what I was trying to say, which I guess if I were to put it into words it…

Joe Macre’s “The Dream is Free” LP

No one will look at you askance when you say, “Who’s Crack the Sky?” I didn’t know the story behind this 70’s prog rock band bestowed with a breathtaking brush with ever-lasting fame only to end up defeated by circumstance and largely forgotten. It’s well-worth looking up and reading. The band’s members didn’t necessarily fold up their respective tents and abandon any hope of making music; many went on, in…

Interviewing HOFFMAN

How does it feel to embark on your solo career since your days as the lead singer in TheGray Vines? What motivated you to begin this journey now more than ever before? I just wanted to finally do whatever I wanted to do, you know? In the past, I experienced a lot of,“I know what’s best for you”, and I remembered I do this for me. There’s no promise of…

Sisteria’s “Dark Matter”

If you’re into heavy music or, more specifically, inclined towards stoner rock in any capacity, the sludgy guitar play in Sisteria’s Dark Matter may well be the most intriguing element of the record to behold, but if you listen a little closer, you’re definitely going to see that there’s more to this LP than is initially expected. With lead vocals that bring to mind the fragility of a bohemian folk-rock…

Andrew Reed & the Liberation Sit Down With Neufutur

How would you describe your musical genre and style? Where do you draw inspiration from when cultivating your sound? Firstly, thank you for having me. I don’t know really… There is a musicality within me that can go in so many directions…from prog rock to classic or psychedelic to acoustic… And I know I am a problem for music biz folks because I will often change direction before the commercial…

A few moments with Nya

When did your musical journey begin? At what point did you know music was a passion that you’d like to pursue professionally? My parents aren’t musicians, but they are music lovers, so It was rare that there wasn’t music playing in my parents’ houses (they divorced when I was 5) growing up. I also had an obsession with reading and writing basically since I could spell. I started singing lessons…
