Louis Siciliano and Mauro Salvatore’s MUMEx Duo are an increasing rarity in the modern musical landscape.

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

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.

We’ve all had enough of shooting stars. The incandescent young talent blazing across the pop culture sky before soon sputtering out to a dull or depressing conclusion is a familiar tale.

With their current single clocking in at exactly 120 seconds, Tarah Who?, won’t be mistaken for Tool anytime soon. “Asian Blood” might suggest subject matter of a stereotypical nature, but it’s actually inspired by our relationship with the process of aging. For Tarah Who?, aging is examined from a female perspective, as they are a
There’s a familiar peacefulness to the way Corey Stapleton brings a harmony together, but I don’t know that I would call his new album with The Pretty Pirates, Sea Changes, a straight throwback. Songs like “New Me†and “As the Crow Flies†undeniably have an old school persona mostly due to the style of vocal that
