Let me get this out of the way early – Knox Hamilton’s The Heights sets the Album of the Year bar extremely high for all other artists to follow in 2017.
The debut full-length album from this Little Rock trio – due out March 10th via Prospect Park Records – surprised me with two things right off the bat. First, its length. With 13 tracks and a run-time north of 42 minutes, this album has a long reach and keeps your attention from one song …
The ACLU has been in the news quite a bit since late January – and for good reason. Their team is on the ground, fighting the good fight wherever they are needed, and have seen support for their cause pour in from across the country.
Adding to what has already been a record year for them will be the addition of this new compilation – Music For Everyone – curated by Taking Back Sunday’s John Nolan. The album will be out March 30th via Collective …
For those us that were absolutely smitten with Ron Pope’s last album, 2016’s Ron Pope and the Nighthawks, the announcement of a new album for this year is like manna from heaven. While the new album, Bad For Your Health, is still a few months away from release – August 18th – we do now have a lyric video for the title track which you can enjoy below.
If this song is any indication, Bad For Your Health will pick up right where Ron Pope …
Watching 19-year-old New Yorker – by way of Australia, South Africa, and Denver – Felicity perform last night at Rockwood Music Hall I kept thinking back to what I was doing when I was her age; most notably using my chalked ID (is that even still a thing?) to get in to the bars and clubs in my college’s town to see local and touring bands perform. The last thing on my mind would’ve been performing in a room I couldn’t legally get into on …
If there’s one, or two things actually, that will instantly get my attention when listening to a new song it’s fun, light piano work, and a creative horn section that really gives you your money’s worth. Walker Lukens’ new track, “Where Is Thunder Road?”, has both of those in spades and is an absolute delight, three minutes at a time.
Lukens teamed up with Spoon drummer Jim Eno and his band The Side Arms to record a new EP, Ain’t Got A Reason – due …
Nashville quintet The Delta Saints return with a new full-length album this April, Monte Vista – due out April 28th to be exact. Along with this news is the release of the album’s first tract, “California”, as well as a very special performance in their hometown tomorrow night before heading off to mainland Europe for a month-long tour beginning March 2nd.
The new track is jammy and dynamic and deftly weaves in and out of inspirational styles for vocalist Ben Ringel & Co.
“California” has …
Picture it: You’re a Grammy-shortlisted pop artist opening for the likes of John Mayer and Train, you’ve secured multiple soundtrack placements, and the New York Times just compared you to Regina Spektor. What do you do next?
For Sarah Solovay the answer was simple: step away from the music industry entirely and go to college.
Four years later, Solovay has returned – degree in hand – and is releasing her first new single “Rough Draft” today.
I am endlessly fascinated by stories like Solovay’s; of …
The 2017 edition of the Alternative Press Music Awards will return to Cleveland, OH this year on July 17th. The award show, which always fits in nicely to the Vans Warped Tour calendar, will be hosted by Black Veil Brides frontman Andy Biersack.
I am so honored to be hosting this year’s fourth annual APMAs. I’ve attended every APMAs, and I’ve been fortunate to have a favorite moment every year. As host, I want to make people feel happy and create favorite moments for them, …
LA-based singer-songwriter Adam Friedman and his debut EP, Green, are already on their way to the masses; and will undoubtedly be helped along by two national TV appearances where he’ll be performing his new track, “What If”.
After next week’s appearances on The Bachelor (Monday 2/13 at 8PM EST) and The Today Show (Friday 2/17 at 10AM EST), you will almost certainly be hearing a lot more from Friedman with multiple soundtrack and commercial placements already lined up.
“What If” is perfectly soundtrack-worthy in its …
One of our favorite tracks off last year’s new Taking Back Sunday album, Tidal Wave, was “Call Come Running” – a pure shot of adrenaline delivered at the albums midpoint. The new video, out now, and conveniently coinciding with their upcoming European tour, acts as a sequel of sorts to the previously released “You Can’t Look Back”.
The video follows the album’s themes of adulthood and family.
Just like with any of the other records… it’s always just been this autobiographical thing, and things are …
