A brand new release from Laklan just dropped today, and this thing is an electronic powerhouse, complete with massive and invasive synth work, driving beats, vast undertones, and a very unique approach that gives things a blend of popping color and a dark overtone at times that certainly does beckon club music from start to finish. The record kicks off with an intro that gets you off the ground and starts giving you a little bit of a hint as to what you might expect from the

Check out the new single from Malibu Blackout, "Pay Your Tab" as the band goes with a vintage feel with softer, cleaner guitars and intense vocals, accompanied by huge choruses and drive through and through. This is a step in a great direction for the band and it feels like they have really hit this hard. Experimental guitar effects give it an excellent approach and the heavier parts lend a hand to alternative and indie rock in true form. Consisting of Nashville Natives Cory

“Better Days” finds Virginia-born singer-songwriter Iyla Elise at her most grounded and sincere. The song continues her streak of heartfelt Americana releases that balance hope with humility. While rooted in rock and country, Elise’s sound stretches into modern folk territory, blending grit and grace without ever feeling forced.

The brand new  Light, Remembered  album from Adam Bokesch is one of my favorite new things.

In “ Silly Me”, singer‑songwriter Iyla Elise trades her usual ambient folk leanings for something more raw and direct. The song’s bones are simple with a rock‑band setup of cavernous drums and grit‑edged guitars but Elise uses that structure to amplify a new streak of courage in her songwriting. Over a steady verse‑chorus shape that eventually breaks into a roomy outro, she sings about unrequited love with the same plainspoken honesty that has always defined her work.  The me
