Arianna Kant Returns With A New Direction
A new single from Arianna Kant delivers a massive and orchestrated rock soundscape that borders on a dream-rock approach and feels cinematic, vast and it's undertone, and very driving.

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.

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

Alter Ego Rehab and the New Shape of Americana
Americana is shifting. In recent years, the genre has stretched beyond its acoustic roots and into something more textured—part folk confession, part rock grit, part quiet spiritual searching. It’s a landscape built not on polish, but on truth. And that’s precisely where Alter Ego Rehab’s new two-song tribute, Souvenirs, finds its footing. The Michigan-based band, led by singer-songwriter Randy Riddle, isn’t trying to reinvent Americana so much as remind US why it matters. Th

Matt DeAngelis - "Livin' It"
Matt DeAngelis is back with "Livin' It" which portrays another story, something the artist and songwriter does a lot of with his music. So what's the message here? "Livin' It" is a song that was conceived during the pandemic and is meant to convey the fearful and unknown world we continue to live in with reluctance for what is to come. We tend to look to happier times of bygone eras, while longing for relief that we pray tomorrow might bring. The path is not clear in the pres

A New Record from Clash Bowley
Clash Bowley’s EA begins with a strange act of release. On the album’s Bandcamp page, Bowley writes about taking Ea into a wet forest, opening her cage, and leaving her among stones, mist, and the bones of those who came before her. That framing gives the album an eerie center. Ea can be read as a character, a muse, a creature, a spiritual force, or even the album itself being sent into the world. Bowley does not overexplain her, which helps. The mystery gives the songs room

The Exploding Whales
"Spacesuit, Rocket Fuel, and a Cigarette" blends classic psychedelic rock, garage rock, and space rock into a hazy but energetic listening experience.

Rather than relying on modern production trends, the track leans into a vintage rock aesthetic with organic instrumentation and a warm analog feel. The mix

Luma Valen is the kind of artist who isn't really afraid to let a lot out through her music, and in doing so, she expresses a lot of feeling and emotion in her singing, which hits with a heavy hand but with a graceful beauty at the same time.

An Engulfing And Classic Synthwave Record from Valley Lights
Growing up in the '80s and '90s, I was exposed to some outstanding movies. During that time, movies had a very specific soundtrack. Whether it was sci-fi, action, drama, or anything else, there were always soundtracks that served as a sign of the times. I rarely hear a record that's able to harness that kind of semi-nostalgic and rich, full-bodied synthwave vibe the way that the new record from Valley Lights does. The album is called Devil May Care, and it absolutely captures

Erik Rabasca draws from country folk, Americana, swing, and roots music without treating those traditions as museum pieces. Instead, he uses them as a framework for stories about ordinary experiences, personal reflection, and the kinds of observations that accumulate
