Waymon Hudson
My new single “Talk With Your Hands” is out now: a bold, flirty dance-pop anthem about connection beyond words. It’s a song where rhythm becomes language, and touch says everything that sound can’t. As a queer, late-deafened artist, I create music through vibration, emotion, and memory… feeling every beat instead of hearing it. “Talk With Your Hands” turns that lived experience into something universal: that shared pulse on the dance floor, where everyone speaks the same lang

Bones of Goliath Prove Three Pieces Are More Than Enough on Explosive Live Cut “Face The Flames”
There’s something inherently dangerous about a heavy band that doesn’t hide behind excess. No backing tracks. No extra players. No studio padding. Just three musicians making an unapologetically massive sound. That’s exactly what Bones of Goliath deliver in their newly released live video for “Face The Flames.” The Ohio trio has built its reputation on a full-bodied, groove-driven presence that defies expectations. “Face The Flames” — a song centered on perseverance and pushi

A Nostalgic Release from Chillin"
A very warm and welcoming new single from Chillin" delivers what I would consider to be the heart of nostalgia at its best. The song beckons childhood and time spent at your grandparents' house.

A Warm New Single from Lady Lazarus
A fresh new single release from Lady Lazarus delivers quite an important sentiment to a lot of us out there. The song is based on how a man can be on the outside but feel on the inside. She holds very little back in terms of articulating lyrics and laying everything out there from both perspectives, especially how she feels about it. More importantly, though, it's about how she can see past the tough guy element and understand the layers that lie beneath. The song expresses h

Don't Blink Drops New Music
One Voice by Don’t Blink is an album that resists quick categorization, a nine song set that treats style as a moving target rather than a fixed point. Each track occupies its own aesthetic space, yet the record never feels disjointed. Instead, it plays like a series of carefully framed studies in texture and arrangement, where nuance carries as much weight as melody. I found myself drawn to the instrumental details first, the small gestures tucked into the margins that reve

Madzilla LV Confront the Cost of Being Good on “Angel Genocide”
Heavy music has always been good at expressing rage. What it doesn’t always do well is interrogate why that rage exists. With their new single and video “Angel Genocide,” Madzilla LV turns their attention toward a quieter, more unsettling truth: that goodness itself is often punished. Rather than framing anger as rebellion or strength, Angel Genocide looks at vulnerability — the experience of being too generous, too trusting, too willing to help — and how easily those traits

An Interview with Bernice Marsala
A new release from Bernice Marsala delivers a very impactful breed of honesty with lyrics that come across as vulnerable but extremely authentic, so you know this whole thing came from a real place. I love songs that give you the feeling that the artist is putting pieces of themselves in their music again, and with Bernice, this is 100% the case. This is a single that can be taken in a few different ways depending on who's listening, but for me, it felt more like a sort of in

Lana Crow Delivers A Message With "Orwellian Times"
A single from Lana Crow delves into societal approaches of the world we live in and how they can affect each individual person as well as the group as a whole. She digs into the aspect of self-righteousness and how we all turn to screens to get our fix, information, news, and media. The approach speaks of how this is not really good for society as a whole. And she's absolutely right. Now, this is just how I interpreted the song; others may take it a little differently, but fo

An Honest And Edgy Single From Maya Wells

Vanden Dool - Somebody That Someone Can Love
The dry, suburban prairie landscape of Lethbridge, Alberta, Canada is not an immediately obvious candidate for the birthplace of someone in a genre as inherently metropolitan as synth-pop. Nor would you expect the sounds of CHVRCHES, Depeche Mode and M83 to cut through the noise of hard rock, country and heavy metal. Yet, this happened with Ty Vanden Dool, who has left his own personal stamp on the genre for over a decade and taken it with him up to his new home in Calgary. V
