Be Only You – “Winning”

Be Only You’s latest single “Winning” is destined to be a theme song for the summer. The trio’s hip hop vocals are hard hitting and powerful, these girls are sure to become a fan favorite. I think fans of artists like Beyonce and Rihanna will love Be Only You.

Bells and Robes – Duality (Feat. Swain)

Bells and Robes’ new single “Duality” is an instant hit with its catchy hip hop vocals and EDM beat. The song is a fast paced poem that really makes you want to get up and dance. I would suggest Bells and Robes to fans of Lupe Fiasco or Wiz Khalifa.

Jim Bohn speaks about “Bound for Judah”

Today, we are speaking with Jim Bohn. Can you give us a little background information about yourself? How did you get into music? Funny thing.  When I was very young (five or six), my parents bought a cheap plastic EMENEE organ for the family.  Everyone else goofed off with it and eventually got bored.  One day, after a Catholic mass (I was required to attend as a first grader), I…

Witch Doctor is the opening effort on Niq Reefman’s new album, A Selection of Musical Tales. The track links together alternative rock, reggae, and funk in a unique fashion. There is a powerful set of vocals that sit at the top of the track, while the inclusion of horns adds further variation to an already deep effort.

WithLoveXavier – OFFICIAL

WithLoveXavier’s OFFICIAL is a track that builds itself on a rich musical tradition that can be traced back to musicians like Chris Brown, The Weeknd, and Trey Songz. The clean production and Spartan sound to the track’s instrumentation allows ample room for WithLoveXavier’s vocals to soar over the track.

Tito Montana – Must Be Crazy FT. Dave East

Tito Montana’s Must Be Crazy has a compelling backing beat and samples from a Dick Gregory comedy special. The rap flow laid down by Tito Montana and Dave East sits in start opposition to the vocal clips and instrumentation; this is a street-ready sound that hangs well with classic NYC rap. There is a lot of layers that listeners will be able to unpack over the space of a few listens.…

K Camp – “Rockstar Crazy”

K Camp has consistently released hot tracks since 2011, in 2013 he really exploded with “Money Baby” and “Cut Her Off”. Recently, he released “Rockstar Crazy” and it’s a banger. The song is similar to his other hits but shows a little more of a fun side.

John Hickman – Hello Hello

I love the style that John Hickman creates during his latest single, Hello Hello. This is a song that could easily be the theme for any late seventies or early eighties television show. John’s honest vocals play on top of a surprisingly complex instrumentation. The dynamic that the bass and piano create will stand up to repeat plays, while there is an incredibly layered sound that requires listeners many listens to…

Adam Mishan “Boomerang”

Adam Mishan’s “Boomerang” is an engrossing pop track that has a solid rock backdrop. There are hints of Say Anything, The Starting Line and Yellowcard all present here. The catchy harmony of the chorus will have fans singing along well after Boomerang has ceased to play; this single is taut as a drum. The production is particularly impressive, allowing for multiple layers to exist in the same space in a…

My Silent Bravery – Face to Face (Acoustic)

My Silent Bravery’ acoustic take of Face to Face is tremendously emotive and touching for anyone that has been through a rough patch with their significant other. Matthew Wade’s vocals rise and fall as the rich instrumentation continually shifts and changes, making for a track that is livelier that a great many acoustic-based compositions. My Silent Bravery is able to add another weapon to their arsenal; anyone that is an MSB fan…

Jay Pray’s new recording “Smile” is an indie pop hit for the summer. The light electronic pop mix with Justin’s vocals to create a sound that reminds you of superstars in the genre, he’s showcasing his talent in an emotional song that leaves you smiling long after the song has finished.

PWR BTTM – Big Beautiful Day

PWR BTTM has done it again with their latest single “Big Beautiful Day”. The Punk duo has brought classic 80’s pop-punk sounding melodies and deep bass riffs together to make a fresh yet familiar sound. The vocals are hard hitting and memorable, they are blended well with the music making a seamless connection.

A Little Bit More – Silhouettes

A Little Bit More begins their Silhouettes album with Get Up Crowd, a radio-ready country track that skillfully blend together Braid Paisley, The Outlaws, and Hank Williams Jr. The bold instrumentation, sizzling guitar work, and dusty vocals make for a track that will bounce around listeners’ heads long after Silhouettes has ceased to play. If Only For A Moment allows Jill’s vocals to shine brightly as a slower, more contemplative instrumentation provides highlights.…

Black Bolts – Antique Rhythms EP Review

Black Bolts’ Antique Rhythms latest release, the Call it a Day EP, begins with Call it a Day. This rock track is an interesting one is that Black Bolts immediately come forth and showcase a wide variety of influences in the first few minutes of the release. This means that there are hints of 1960s pop, the gritty sound of the 1970s movement in Detroit, and a bit of the funk and…

Louden Swain – No Time Like the Present (CD)

Yes, as a rule actors and musicians should stay in their own lanes. But like every rule there are exceptions and Rob Benedict, singer/guitarist for the LA-based indie rock band Louden Swain may just be one of those exceptions (I refuse to concede that Jared Leto is).

Ivan Beecroft – Believe

Ivan Beecroft’s Believe is an effort that immediately draws listeners’ attentions. The beginning instrumentation is lively and bouncy, eventually ceding ground to Ivan’s imitable vocal style. A rousing piano line and punctual drums establish the backdrop upon which the lyrics can hang. The track itself draws from 1990s alternative, 1980s alternative, and even hints of new wave and Britpop to make for something familiar. It is Beecroft’s tremendous command of…
