Rain presents itself like a straight, silvery punishment of steel rods. The rain starts very innocently at first but then the sky becomes packed with clouds, and gradually they drop bigger and heavier. The color is the sky with dark clouds like a mysterious shade….. such is the release by rising House/Pop music artist Irene
Samuel Pratt
Migrant Motel’s latest single “Party” has an at first deceptive theme. Anyone who has struggled to get over someone, regardless of age, will relate to this song. It doesn’t confine itself to a niche audience but, instead, shows the wisdom and maturity to tap into something universal. Singer David Stewart Jr. sounds like he’s experienced
Like the first few notes we hear before the pouring of audiological lust that comes screaming out of the ethers at the start of a grand symphony, the opening bars of Bruce Sudano’s “Make the World Go Away” are as telling as they are deftly erotic and evocative. We’re instantly drawn in with the instrumental
Jesse Lynn Madera’s latest release “Unchained” is a haunting and beautiful rendition of Johnny Cash’s 1996 hit — Madera’s downbeat, somber country track showcases her impressive vocal range, as she sings of being unchained from the weight that has been holding her down. The accompanying lyric music video featuring imagery of flowers growing through cracked
Tommy Howell’s American Storyteller is a throwback in the best possible way. The actor known as C. Thomas Howell has taken on a different moniker for his debut musical collection, but the same guy shines through. Onetime rodeo star and son of a famed stuntman, Howell’s love for roots music comes through during each of the
Battered but still unadorned with plasticity, the dark melodies dance with reckless abandon in “Pornstar.” They quake and rustle against the rhythm of a pained melody in “Bonesaw” and struggle to define the tone of the music with a casualness that impales the lyricism with a strange sense of irony. There is no overstating their
From the hate-driven mother in Perception, to the yoga-class attending Liz in Three For the Road and the mob-boss no one wants to cross in Paper, actor Linda Collins is living her best life. Audiences might not like her characters, but they will surely remember them. Based in New York City, Collins was born in St. Louis, Missouri, and
There’s not much – if anything – about Migrant Motel’s “Shame” that would qualify as typical by mainstream standards. For example, take the hook in the chorus; David Stewart is pushing the vocal track hard into the synths in the background, but their clash is anything but discordant. They’re fused as one, peppered with a
As far as most of us are concerned, 90s alternative rock is a classic genre within rock n’ roll now, and while there are some who would use the style as a model to cheat the basics of pop with, others like Dark Below are using it as the aesthetical jumping-off point they should. In
Summoning the spirit of 2000’s hardcore, Dallas, Texas band Nygma has established a reputation for surrealistic lyrics, unorthodox guitar melodies, unpredictable shifts in tempo and rhythm, and wild stage presence. Burnie, Colten, and Caleb have been playing music together for close to 16 years, they’ve been in other bands together as well as touring the
Ideally, a collaboration between two artists teaches us something about both performers and what they have to share in a unique capacity. In the right circumstances, a track like “Buttercup” would have us get to know another side of Little Hurt that simply wasn’t accessible before coming into the same studio as a veteran performer
Adding to a credible discography when you’ve already got the kind of street value that racks up hundreds of thousands of streams online is a lot harder than it sounds on paper, but in their new single “Let’s Go,” Of Limbo are making it sound all too easy. The band’s sound has come a long
If you know Everett De Morier, you know unpredictability. In a career that has spanned more than twenty-five years, Mr. De Morier has written everything from the Weekly World News’ My Wife Is Having the Reincarnation of Elvis to the Hollywood optioned Thirty-Three Cecils. He’s an essayist, an author, a humorist, a contributor, a thinker.
Vividly kaleidoscopic melodies spark “The Pathway,” one of them more instantly satisfying in David Raybuck’s The Prodigal, to life with an effervescence that the singer and songwriter will revisit in “Be Healed” and “Desert Ride,” but that said, there’s something really special about what we’re met with in this experiment in making harmony-powered pop endearing again.
Louis Siciliano and Mauro Salvatore’s MUMEx Duo are an increasing rarity in the modern musical landscape. The fact they are staunch purveyors of jazz sets them apart, of course, in an exploding world of bubblegum popular music. It is their passion for their art, however, that makes them stand out most for me. Heat the Silent isn’t
On her new short film, The Day, at the Beach, director Cindy Di Xin has stated: “This film is based on my own personal story. This story also is a lesson that I am still learning since I was 15 years old. First, my feature concept came out in my mind, which is about an
Something akin to an impassioned whisper greets us as Sick Puppies lay into the devastating riff-rock of their latest single, “Ready, Steady, Go,” but the statement that the acclaimed Australian alternative band is trying to get across to their listeners in this brand new track is anything but muted. URL: http://sickpuppies.com/ With brutish guitars, a
Messer are living up to their promising handle and executing one of the sickest, slickest, and most stylish rock tracks that you’re going to hear this quarter in their official new single “Unfvckwitable.” Using a sonic vortex that originates from a sizzling bassline, “Unfvckwitable” sees its creators using every weapon in their war chest to
Lance-Carter Obadiaru and Cree-Silver Corley are two brothers from Jamaica, Queens, eleven and six years old, poised to break through to the next level of stardom. Under the guidance of their family and manager T. Theresa Bastien, Lance and Cree are landing the best roles possible for such budding talents thanks to the skills of
Instrumentally speaking, there’s conventionality in Little Hurt’s “Cooler If U Did” that can be a little difficult for some to get around, but this might be the point of the song’s deliberate framework. Rather than going with predictable on top of predictable, Little Hurt wants to illustrate his unique vocal abilities against a backdrop of
In quality rock, it all starts with the way the players address production. If there’s a good handle on what they want to make and the story they want to form out of the music they’re recording, there’s a strong chance that what we hear is going to be appealing, but those who choose to
Sal Rendino’s acting career on stage, film, and television has placed him in scenes and otherwise rubbing elbows with some of the most talented and creative people working in entertainment today. The New Yorker made his first television appearance in 1993, his first film appearance came a year after with a part in 1994’s Renaissance Man, and

Nick Phoenix has released a cinematic video for the song ‘Andromeda’ from his ‘Wide World’ album. The video was shot in Pasadena, CA on the historic campus of the California Institute of Technology and various locations in the Mohave Desert. Explaining about ‘Andromeda’, Phoenix says “The song is about an astronomer who dreams of visiting the Andromeda Galaxy and he designs
Big guitars have been on a major comeback in the last couple of years, and nowhere is this more evident than in the new single “Who You Are” from crossover crooner Cody Jasper. Where a lot of Jasper’s peers have been settling for a more straightforward delivery style, this is a singer/songwriter who wants to get elaborate in
In between the smoky melodies of “Walk Between the White Lines,” there lies a simple sense of Americana that stands as one of the most important elements of Chris St. John’s new album Fly Away. It’s neither forced nor filled with bravado, and yet it’s undeniably one of the most entrancing components of this tracklist, defining
