Pete Price’s guitar work alone should push him into the upper echelon of modern musicians. His fluid fretwork, impassioned melodies, and physical sound recalls other guitar greats of yore without ever risking imitation. His six-string talents do not dominate the entirety of his new album Department of the Interior, he’s far too complete of a songwriter

Houston, Texas has produced a winner with the five piece band Crank Up the Silence. Formed in 2018 by guitarist and lead vocalist Leif Måsvær, Crank Up the Silence puts forth a complete band presentation rather than serving as a glorified solo vehicle for Måsvær and the band’s packaging accentuates their high caliber work without
What is the biggest tip you followed when creating your sound? Work hard to make the music you want. Keep pushing yourself to get the sound in your head into the universe. I chose the path of a lot of practice and to go to music school and to spend every moment I could to
A blues-colored rhythm creeps out from the shadows of a staggering melody and cuts through anything that gets in its path in “Window Shopping” of Ralph Nix & the Guilt Birds’ new album, Good Ingredients. In “Call Me Baby,” a mischievous melody is broken up by a slothful implied beat that is as much an agent
Vienna CC’ s recent spate of singles has produced some of the most unique music in modern pop today. His songwriting frame of reference extends into classical music and, of course, touches on some familiar modern names such as Jimi Hendrix and Deep Purple, among others. His latest single “Here Comes the Attraction” doesn’t necessarily
Dianña has logged numerous Adult Contemporary hits and her latest “Missing You Underneath the Mistletoe” is another hit on the way. Yes, it is seasonal tune, but it’s more than that. It’s the next step in a career that has seen nothing but an upward swing since she first began. Her latest two chart successes
In a casual demeanor more commonly found in living room performances shared with friends and family exclusively, Christine Hand lays into the opening chords of “Love Me True,” the second track in her new album Standing on the Shoulders, and in the wake of the ensuing melody sparks a captivating flame that will last for the
Migrant Motel combines modern Alt.Pop sounds with contemporary production techniques into a blend that is unique yet familiar. They have been making music and developing their sound since 2017 and the band has built their fan base in Mexico and throughout Latin America. They are now aiming their sites on the growing Bi-Lingual and Bi-Cultural youth movement in the
The relationship between spirituality and music is essentially as old as civilization itself, if not predating societal existence entirely. Concepts of divinity, good and evil, and the sense of what eternity is have always been entwined with the story of music, and in their new record The Synaesthetic Picture Show: Part 6, Elektragaaz envelop their unique
Coming shortly past a discharge of melodicism that is uniquely as fleeting as it is mood-setting, Wreckless Strangers and Michael Herrick are off and running in the dance remix of the song “Sun State” this autumn, with little to stop the momentum that quickly builds behind their groove. In an era that has been robbed
There’s a certain finesse one has to have when it comes to being a contemporary indie artist. You can’t jock other artists’ styles, you can’t “sell out,” and most importantly you can’t not tour. There’s a rulebook that magically appears on your desk as soon as you hit the stop button on your iPhone’s voice
I applaud Nanci A. Smith’s new book. With the release of Untangling Your Marriage: A Guide to Collaborative Divorce, she lays out the groundwork for what I would argue is one of the most humane, sound, and effective strategies to realize one’s divorce with a little dignity. The bar even recognizes the methodology, so that
Although this isn’t something I conventionally endorse in a rock record, especially one as compact as The Make Up Sessions by The Make, the string play isn’t the main focus of the music – and it still feels like a pretty heavy LP from top to bottom. Where there’s a bit of reliance on oversized grooving to
Missouri power trio Dark Below are continuing their Breakout year with new single ‘Hate Being Human’. The song was produced by Malcolm Springer (Matchbox 20, Collective Soul, Fear Factory) and Jason Schrick for JPS Productions at East Iris Studios in Nashville.

Swedish country artist Hicks’ transformation into miQa.el has not diminished his artistic powers one iota. His new single “Walking Medicine” continues building on the impressive songwriting reputation has garnered and advances his art a significant step forward. It is a self-conscious turning point in his art and life, but the musical execution of the song
From the moment that his honey-sweet lead vocal enters focus in “Tickin’,” the passion in country singer Jeremy Parsons’ voice is simply off-the-charts awesome. “Tickin’” is the latest dispatch from the experimental country-rock singer/songwriter, and if you’d told me that it was a single from a more seasoned studio veteran, I might not have believed
The Century Family Records. Alt.Pop artist Little Hurt is heading out on a co-headlining tour with Hembree to support his new single ‘Buttercup’ . The song is a compact, clever nugget of pristine pop-rock perfection that features longtime friend The Ready Set on guest vocals. ‘Buttercup’ offers a frank confession of romantic uncertainty and insecurity — set to a funky backbeat, pulsing
Sisters J may tread familiar musical territory, the sibling singing duo, but they are traveling through with a style that’s all their own and remarkably mature for such young vocalists. The flawless timing demonstrated in their harmonies isn’t solely a product of the studio and production shepherding – it’s a honest reflection of two skilled
