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. "The Storm Is In A Cup" is quite a wonderfully woven single and does bear as much color and soul as it does edginess. The guitar tones on this track are stellar. They have the drive, the impact, and they give the song that sort of harder alternative rock style, while synthesized string sections

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

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 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
