“The Fountain” instrumental from Nashville’s Pet Envy couldn’t be more aptly named. Capturing the roller emotions of a relationship or even just splashing the listener with a range of sounds and beats, Pet Envy creates an envious sound in this vibrant instrumental.

“Olivia” is the new pop rock single from Rob Alexander. A song with heart and a story that feels very real, Alexander is at the top of his game with a fresh rhythm and a voice that steals the show. Any musician would be envious of the backing band’s sound – a band that includes

Anyone else feel rushed all the time? Like there are just not enough hours in the day? The song “Ganesha” from exceptional composer/singer Paul Avgerinos is like that Energizer Bunny track you’ve been searching for.

Christmas and holiday music can be like a box of chocolates – you never know what you’re going to get. Sometimes the track can be such a familiar song that listening to it is like picking the plain chocolate bite – it’s fine, but not as delish as some of the other confectionery delights. One

Elektragaaz has released their third EP, “The Synaesthetic Picture Show Now Playing, Pt. 3,” following on the heels of high praise for Parts 1 and 2.

Swainn, an Arizona four piece also known as Cockswain, first emerged on the indie scene six years ago. Their 2015 debut release Seamus earned considerable attention for the band and they followed it up with an even stronger second release, 2017’s For the Whiskey. One of the chief attractions of Celtic rock, as it is normally called, for

The newest single by Rapper, Ronnue, entitled “Why” is indicative of the artist’s brash and outspoken nature. It’s a unique hybrid of an original work by Ronnue, that also features Figuz, and footage of Lil Nas X in the music video. Lil Nas X, who just won the VMA for Best Video, earlier in the
