Bands like Once Great Estate are something of an anomaly in the modern musical landscape. On the surface, they are a traditional Country group, though they consider themselves to be Southern Rock. They combine a classic sound with a modern method of storytelling, and at the moment, they seem most preoccupied with the finality of
A subtle, somewhat somber piano is waiting to commiserate with us in melodic terms in the song “Peace Piece – Revisited,” the opening cut from Monsieur Job’s W.T.F.!, but as we’ll learn in the next five slow jams on this 120-song LP (yes, you read that correctly), facilitating emotionality through singular dimensions is hardly the first
I hadn’t heard Little King or their previous albums before reviewing their latest release Amuse De Q. Reading in the press materials that Ryan Rosoff, the band’s chief songwriter, cut his teeth on late early period Rush, taught high school English, and focused on creative writing during his college years put me on guard. Would this
I am nearly fifty years old and confess the 1980’s does not seem so far away to me. The decade’s mid-way point, 1985, is almost forty years in our collective review but Foolish Deep, thankfully, never got the memo. Their five song EP release, recorded live this summer, had no overdubs and sparkles with the
Hi Blooming Fire! Thank you for speaking with me today! It’s our pleasure! You are gearing up for the release of the visual component of your project, Dunia! Will you tell us about it? Absolutely! Our Dunia EP had 4 tracks on it that created a collective vibe and concept if you will. The first
Hello! Thanks for chatting with me today! Tell us about your latest release! My latest release is titled “Your Loss.” I wrote this one after I heard from a past boyfriend who responded to one of my previous releases from this year, finally apologizing 10 years later. This definitely gave me a lot of new content for my
So give me the chance, a dreamy voice sings over a blushing, lush guitar bed. It’s the sound of a woman that has confidence, sometimes but not all the time. Isn’t that what being 17 is like? In the new pop/Americana song “Seventeen” from Wild Fire, exploring the ups-and-downs of being a young adult bubble
Depth in a contemporary rock band means more than just big guitars and bigger personalities; it means making complicated statements simple via the majestic tonal bond that comes from electric instruments playing in perfect unison. Burn the Ballroom have been thinking about this and other conceptual elements of their sound, and it’s evidenced quite profoundly in their
How do you want to make a difference with your music? I want to inspire people to be themselves and I want them to just feel something with any song I put out there. Do you keep someone or something in mind any time you’re writing new material? Usually I write about a particular experience
Annette Adler is bringing love and magic to the masses with her album Color My World. Undoubtedly this will be met with positive reactions worldwide, and Adler is one singer to rave about. Adler’s voice beams when she sings such descriptive lyrics, leaving the listener not only spellbound by her soaring harmony, but just as immersed by her guitar playing. Color
Do you keep someone or something in mind any time you’re writing new material? I am a firm believer that to create requires some sort of inspiration. Most of my songs are about my feelings, experiences or someone who relayed their experiences to me in a way that I found truly meaningful. My children’s book
Whether we’re children or adults, we know that feeling when we’ve stared blankly at the night sky, imaging worlds just beyond our reach. In an isolating feeling to be sure, what that makes us so painfully aware of our loneliness, but there’s an even greater beauty to be had when you look to the stars
Hi Joey! It is great to speak with you today! Thanks so much! Tell me about your recent documentary ‘Don’t Blink’! This is a very cool project I am really excited about! Filmmaker Courtney Adkisson wanted to do a mini documentary on my life in music as her master’s film project for SCAD! This film

How much fun do you have on stage? Maximum Are you excited for anything coming up? Everything! Links!
Brooke Josephson’s new single release “Rainbow” comes from her forthcoming studio EP Showin’ Up. It’s an ironic title for no other reason than it implies the bare minimum, in some uses, while Josephson goes far beyond anything resembling a token or cookie-cutter effort. “Rainbow” has an uniformly positive message running through its lyrics that never succumbs
“The principles of art is not to convey, but to evoke.” – Jerzy Kozinski. Miami based indie act, Mold!, has released the second single from their upcoming LP, No Silence. They have described it as being much more symbolic of the record than their previous single, and if that is the case, then No Silence
To say we’ve all been suffering as of late would be an understatement. This past year saw an increased rise of breakups, divorces, violence, mental health problems that the world wasn’t prepared for, I believe because we just never thought anything like this could ever happen. Aisles seem to have always known and channels that
