Poolside starts out Caribbean Gold and provides listeners with a brief introduction to the eclectic style of Australia’s World Wild. The track ties together the laidback style of acts like Porter Robinson and Chromeo with hints of Random Access Memories-era Daft Punk. The alluring vocals are a perfect fit with a late-eighties / “West End Girls”-type of Pet Shop Boys.
Kelly Wheeler (SexTapes, Janes Addiction, Ultraject) has created a new act, Chainflower with singer Erica Renee (A.H.M.A.D.). The band has just released an EP containing two tracks, The Fever and Dissolve in the Sky.
Cain’s Regret is a track that possesses a tremendous narrative aspect that will have listeners focused in from the onset of Paula D. Tozer’s latest EP, Cain’s Regret. Tozer’s vocals are a blend of pop and country artists, meaning that the titular effort is reminiscent of Suzanne Vega, Stevie Nicks, and Reba McEntire.
At the Top of the Pyramid is a title that anyone hat has been through high school will be able to intensely and completely understand. The film focuses on those issues that are deep in the psyche of all teenagers, including feelings of belonging, depression, and an overall mis-match between what one feels and sees in the mirror. The title focuses on Jamie Parker, a beloved member of the high…
Kimberly Amato has tested her mettle as an author with a new title, Steele Resolve. The work focuses around the ever-changing life of Jasmine Steele after the death of her brother. Tasked with finding those that dispatched her relation, Steele has to deduce and locate those that perpetuated this horrible deed.
Hello, Sakima. Your current album is The Process. What significance does the release’s title hold for you? The title is everything. The Process is the result of my growth in music. This is the first album that I truly produced and almost fully created myself. I grew from a rapper to an artist. And that’s what the title reflects. The music on the album is the result of my process…
Double Dread, Mad River Brewing’s Imperial Red Ale, pours with an incredibly dark brown to red coloration and an off-white head that winds its way down the glass as one continues to drink the beer. There is a decent sweetness, surprising considering the higher ABV of the brew (8.6% ABV); one will be unable to discern the 8.6% ABV of Double Dread until a while after they have completed the…
Smuttynose’s Imperial Stout, the latest in their Big Beer Series, pours dark brown to black with little in the way of tannish/brown head. There are rich chocolate and malt sides to the nose, while the beer does well to unite the hop and more sweet elements into a luxurious and dangerous package. An alcohol bite concludes each quaff and refreshes palettes for subsequent sips; additional flavors present in this beer…
This unassuming relationship comedy from novice writer/director Susanna Fogel could have gone either way, but thanks to a perfectly cast Gillian Jacobs (Community) and Leighton Meester (Gossip Girl) as the co-leads, she ended up with a charming, if light, take on best friends navigating relationships in their late 20’s.
Now that Network TV has completely given up on creating compelling, original dramas, cable channels of every variety are filling the void. WGN America is behind the impressive period drama Manhattan, building a wildly compelling series around the semi-true/semi-fictional take on the building of the Atom Bomb.
Nic Nassuet is nearly ready to release his new album, Eleutherios. This comes off of Nic’s wins at the Veterans Creative Arts festival, where he took home awards for Best Original Song, and Best Vocalist (in folk and rock).
“Like This Like That” is the latest single from Melbourne’s Melissa James band. Which artists most influence the band’s overall sound?
Brooke Sunny Moriber will have a set recorded on April 8th for the Verizon Fios1 show, “Rick’s Rising Stars”. The show will be recorded at the Revolution Bar & Music Hall (http://www.revolutionli.com/ , 140 Merrick Road, Amityville, NY), but this is not the first time that Brooke has been in front of a camera. Throughout the course of the last few years, Moriber has landed roles in Law & Order:…
For a debut E.P. Long Knives already know exactly what they are which is a female fronted band wanting to ride comfortably between the lines of punk rock and a radio friendly mainstay. That’s a sincerely difficult task to complete because I originally was not convinced that this album was going to be worth the listen but they have those reliable hooks which appeal to everyone.
Blanche De Chambly pours with an incredibly small amount of head and a hazy golden coloration. There is a little sugar and orange that can be discerned from the beer’s nose, while the first cursory sips yield hints of wheat, citrus fruits, and sweeter flavors. The beer is refreshing and sits in a position between more wheaty and fruity efforts; there is a considerable constellation of flavors that one can…
Rob Magnotti ( http://www.robmagnotti.com/ ) has a huge 2015 lined up. This comedian will be seen on the silver (Paul Blart: Mall Cop 2) and small (Surviving Sam) screens and will be appearing alongside other comedian luminaries in Long Island through the end of March and the beginning of April.
The Protokon contributes to the rich retro style that has been fostered in film, movies, and video games in the last few years. Adding his own contribution to the trend built up by Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon and the second season of Danger 5, director and writer Anthony de Lioncourt tells a compelling story about the steps that someone has to take when their happy life is absolutely destroyed.
Sitting on the fence is the current EP from Newcastle (Australia)’s Velvet Lane. What are the band’s favorite tracks on the EP? It’s a throw up between My Dear, Harlequin Lover, and Brian Jones, although we obviously have a soft spot for all of the tracks. Len (the bass player) really likes Harlequin Lover, although our collective favourite is most likely My Dear.
It’s a pleasure to sit down with The fundaMentals. You are promoting two 2014 releases – a six-track EP named Full Mental Jacket and Locked and Loaded, your latest single .
Can you describe your creative process to us? How does a song go from an initial germ of an idea to a full composition? Its all pretty loosely done to be honest. sometimes i might just be messing around with a synth and come up with a melody. other times ill have an idea stuck in my head and ill try recreate it within Logic. but once the melodies down…
