Warria Trumpet releases new single “She Like It”



Reggae songwriter and performer Warria Trumpet has released his latest single, titled, “She Like It,” to critical and fan acclaim. The track is the newest release from the up and coming modern reggae artist Warria Trumpet, who recently signed with the Multi Lynk Ent / Multi Nation Recordz music label. Like some other of Warria Trumpet's songs, and as might be suspected, “She Like It” is based on lighthearted, romantic themes, and is carried by Warria's own vivid color of reggae music. It is not, however, the romantic ballad that is the main focus of Warria's music.

Warria Trumpet has made a point of stressing to the press that he intends his love songs to “get the ears of the people,” and to prove versatility. This versatility is certainly proven, once one hears the difference in tone between sensual tracks like “She Like It” and more solemn anthems, like his self-explanatory war cry of the people, “Pain and Poverty,” which song sees Warria in more familiar territory.

One understands this thematic territory much better if one understands the meaning behind Warria Trumpet's interesting stage moniker. When asked about this, Trumpet says with subtle intensity, “Well, the sound of the trumpet is the same sound of I and I.”

By the Rastafarian term, 'I and I,' Warria alludes to the Biblical name God gives for Himself with the mystically meaningful phrase, “I Am that I Am.” Warria calls the trumpet the “same sound of I and I” because there are many Biblical references to the trumpet being the instrument of the hand of God, Joshua's toppling of the walls at Jericho being one of the more well known examples.

"I want people all over the world to listen to the lyrics of the songs that I am writing,” emphasizes Warria Trumpet. “ I want them to heed the message and be inspired to do positive things.”

The Warria Trumpet single “She Like It” is available online worldwide beginning spring of 2013.

Blade Martin releases new single 'Celebrate Your Life'


The Florida based singer and songwriter of reggae, soul, and hip hop music, Blade Martin, has released his latest and greatest single, titled, “Celebrate Your Life.” The track is the most recent offering from this singer who is often billed as a “businessman by day, sultry performer by night.” Martin is well known in the Florida area for performing romantic ballads with healthy reggae overtones and strong undercurrents of soul. Much like his recent hit single, “3AM (Show You),” “Celebrate Your Life” is poised to take the American peninsula, and then the world, by storm.

Martin has been writing and performing music since his teens.

“I started singing at an early age, mostly to get the attention of the ladies,” he writes. “I soon discovered that my passion for music was more than just a good pick-up line.”

His latest offering, “Celebrate Your Life,” is a jubilant, upbeat dance number that exemplifies Martin's signature reggae, soul, and hip hop blend, which is best described in that order. The song boasts an extremely infectious chorus refrain that demands an encore, and colorful, creative melody lines that carry the tune like a pied piper. Showcasing the skills of Blade Martin to a “T,” it has been mixed by the Grammy Award winning bass player and engineer, Christopher Meredith.

“This single,” writes Martin, “is a song about celebrating every day of your life, enjoying each moment, and making lasting memories as we go.”

This genial sentiment is found throughout the repertoire of Blade Martin, and he excels at outwardly professing the same.

“We don’t need a reason to party,” he says, “just make the best of every opportunity! Celebrate your life.”

Blade Martin has performed with such talented likes as The Millennium Band, The Nubian Players Band, The D.H.W.A.S. Band, and The Code Red Band.

“Celebrate Your Life” by Blade Martin is available online everywhere beginning spring of 2013.

Lars Alexander releases new EP 'Star Walking'



Hot on the trail of his last extended play release, composer of electronic dance music Lars Alexander has published his latest EP record, titled, “Star Walking,” to critical and fan acclaim. The record is comprised of six original tracks for a total of 22 minutes worth of excellent dancing and listening time. It is the composer's first release since his EP “My Melodic Trance,” which was released in January of 2013.

“Star Walking” is a wave in the same set as “My Melodic Trance,” although perhaps a tad more vivacious and direct, which is saying something considering the high-octane beats and melodies of the earlier record. “Star Walking” is an adrenaline-charged, “get up and move” album to which fans can listen casually, but which will also require some physical movement on the part of the music fan. There is no feasible way to be in the room with a Lars Alexander record playing without taking part in the dancing. This is perhaps more true for “Star Walking” than it has been for any previous Alexander release, although it is certainly true for all of them.

This is at least partially due to Alexander's background as a professional dancer, the occupation which sometimes takes him away from his secret passion, the writing and producing of electronic dance music.

“I have always been involved in music,” writes Alexander. “I have been a ballroom dancer with a passion for trance and club music all my life.”

His goal in writing music is to be the catalyst other dancers need to truly express themselves.

He writes of this, “I try to make music that gives people a good feeling, and makes them want to turn up the volume and let go.”

Alexander names as main musical influences the likes of popular musicians Tiesto, Armind Van Buuren, and Sash.

His newest offering, the EP “Star Walking,” is available online everywhere beginning spring of 2013.

Seth Blair releases new LP record 'Mendable'


The precocious pop singer and songwriter, Seth Blair, has released his newest record, an LP called “Mendable.” The album is comprised of 14 original tracks for a total playing time of 52 minutes, making for an excellently comprehensive introduction to this rising star for listeners who have not yet experienced his music. A collection of mostly pop-oriented electronic dance tracks that are exceedingly suitable for casual listening, “Mendable” is poised to bring Seth Blair into the limelight he clearly deserves.

Seth Blair is the birth name of the artist previously known as Digital Optimism, under which moniker Blair has published three full-length albums, “Want You Bad,” “Neon Nitrogen,” and “Up and Down.” At the young, yet apparently very ripe age of 17, this makes him one of the most prolific music composers in his age group, averaging four LP records in three years. In addition, the variety in these LPs is also remarkable.

Though recorded back-to-back over a relatively short period, an experimental trajectory is clear over the four records that outlines a surprisingly complex diversity in styles. Blair is not one to shy from a fun idea for the sake of conceptual consistency. “Mendable,” like the records preceding it, takes turns that one is not expecting, revealing Seth Blair to be not only a courageously creative songwriter, but also a very versatile singer and performer.

This is perhaps partially due to his wide range of instrumental interests.

“I’ve always been involved with music,” he writes, “whether through school band or private lessons. I have played guitar, trumpet, piano, ukulele, keyboard, and have dabbled with the banjo and harmonica.”

In thinking about the array of musical instruments he practices on, he suddenly muses about how this came to be, saying, “I must thank my parents for setting up piano lessons for me, as that began my journey with music.”

“Mendable” by Seth Blair is available online worldwide beginning spring of 2013.

Genio releases new single 'It’s Raining Every Day'


The eclectic singer-songwriter known as Genio has released his newest official single, titled, “It’s Raining Every Day.” The song is a remarkable mix of chord progressions and movements that invite a more full understanding of the nature of life, which Genio reminds us is not always sunshine.

The heart of the track is a general tone of stoic malaise, one which is not melodramatic, but rather philosophical in mood and intelligence. Genio's chords are mostly minors for a dark, rainy sound – appropriately so – and his voice is a surprising, shadowy intonation from somewhere far away, or perhaps lurking above. The overall experience is like a Socratic seminar crossed with a haunted mansion.

In his own words, Genio explains that the point of his song is to remind the world of the darker side of life.

“The title 'It’s Raining Every Day' tells about what we all are going through,” he writes, “sometimes or more than sometimes, in our lives. It tells about having resistance, and feeling down-and-out within. It tells that life is not just a piece of cake, that ups and downs are a part of life for all of us.”

Genio reminds that simply acting positive doesn't necessarily equate to being positive, nor having positive effects on the rest of the world, neither.

“Convulsive positivism does not bring cash-in-hand and happiness within. Better to be balanced and look at negativity as a part of life we have to go through and learn from.”

It’s Raining Every Day” is also a song about humanism, though, about how one can do another wrong for shortsighted reasons.

“Unfortunately, we too often act [badly] towards each other because of our fear and pain, or wounds within,” says the recording artist.

“It's Raining Every Day” is not all clouds, however, and it does not need to culminate in depression following a listen-through. The music is quite beautiful, and Genio's vocals are richly mysterious. The entertainment factor is in its relentlessness. Genio accedes that his song is brutally honest, but also says that this is where all the fun is.

“The song may be an [eye-opener]” he says, “but it's fun to listen to because there's no sign of release or joy in it. It's just terrible to understand the reality of the crooked road we all stumble on. It is too real, but – ” and one can imagine the songwriter smiling here – “it wouldn't be right to sweep it under the carpet.”

“It's Raining Every Day” by Genio is available online worldwide in spring, 2013.

Singer Ms. Tausha releases new single 'Eagles'



The R 'n' B gospel singer from Greenville, SC, known as Ms. Tausha has released her newest single, “Eagles,” on the Luv U 2 Lyfe Productions record label. The song is an impeccably performed, highly inspirational track that has become the current focal point for fans of Ms. Tausha, who has released this single as an introduction to her music as she continues the production of her debut full-length LP in the studio.

The track is most notable for its direct treatment of Ms. Tausha's subject matter, which is that of the glorification of her Lord and Savior. Many performers of gospel and ecclesiastical music take their cues from the mainstream while managing to remain within the bounds of acceptable conduct and lyricism of their respective labels. Tausha is not riding any such fence, however.

“'Eagles' is based on Isaiah 40:31,” Tausha writes, “which says: 'But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.”

Ms. Tausha, although clearly slated for the stage long ago, has only been dedicated to her craft since 2005, when she moved to Atlanta to pursue her singing. Still, songs have been with her since the beginning, and not just psalms of praise, either.

“I used to write poems when I was younger,” she says of this. “Over time, the poems turned into songs. I started taking music seriously a few years ago, when a former A&R of a major label heard me sing at a Thanksgiving Day gathering. He hooked me up with a vocal coach in Atlanta, GA, and I’ve been on this track ever since.”

While anyone who hears the first twenty seconds of “Eagles” can agree that its higher purpose is clear, there are still personal themes within the track, too, which hit upon Ms. Tausha's more personal connection to the song. She explains how she found succour and support in the Good Book following an unfortunate romantic split.

She explains, “I knew all along he was not right for me. But someone else’s 'eagle' experience may not be a breakup; it can be any situation that causes you to feel alone, or like you just aren’t going to make it. Regardless of the circumstances, the promise in Isaiah 40:31 stands. All that’s left is for you to believe it and receive it! This doesn’t always mean that God will remove the circumstances, but He promises to be there with you in the midst of whatever it is you’re going through (Deuteronomy 31:6).”

The beautiful voice, uplifting poetry, and Biblical strength of Ms. Tausha is available online worldwide to one and all in “Eagles.”

BrotherWood releases debut single 'Higher'



The solo artist known as BrotherWood has released his debut rock single, titled, “Higher.” The track is
the first official release from BrotherWood since his 1995 LP, “For the Machine,” with his band Lyamaneye (Liam-an'-I). The song is part anthem, part ballad, and greatly inspirational. It features the polished, catchy songwriting and powerful vocals of Jason Wood, whose talents are at the burning core of “Higher,” and which talents prove him to be every bit as explosively dynamic as he ever was.

BrotherWood's voice has matured over the years to obtain a darker, rougher tone, like whiskey aged in oak barrels. The result is a stronger and more aggressive vocal timbre, like Bruce Springsteen crossed with Jon Bon Jovi, though with the same post-grunge style that has characterized Wood's music from the very beginning. “Higher” is a song that plainly proclaims BrotherWood's return and demonstrates his seemingly endless capacity for writing heartfelt, majestic, melodic rock music.

Upon being asked how he began his music career, he reflects: “Going through my parents' record collection. I loved listening for hours and experiencing it all.”

Unlike many teens around the globe, however, Wood was not content to merely experience the artistry of others.

“I went into band class like most kids,” he recalls, “but wanted to create – and not just play someone else’s music – there was too much music going on inside of me.”

Clearly, some of that music has been locked away in BrotherWood's soul just waiting to hit the studio. “Higher” is not all about music, however. It's also about mending.

“My aim,” Wood says, “is that 'Higher' gives hope in the face of hopelessness, healing in brokenness, and love in loneliness.”

Surely these lofty and admirable aspirations are certain to be fulfilled, but even more certain is that the music world is glad to finally have BrotherWood back again.

“Higher” by BrotherWood is available online worldwide beginning spring of 2013.

Jack Mack and the Heart Attack Horns release new EP 'Lookin' Up'



Jack Mack and the Heart Attack Horns have released their new EP, titled, “Lookin' Up,” to broad critical and fan acclaim. The band, who not long ago celebrated their 30th anniversary as the “Hardest Working Band in Soul Business,” are famous for having kept a tireless musical inertia since the release of their hit record in 1980, “Cardiac Party,” and before. Their deep-groove blend of rock 'n' soul music has provided the upbeat backdrops for movies such as “Police Academy,” “Jersey Girl,” and “Short Circuit,” as well as enough material for several LP albums, both live and studio-recorded. Based in Los Angeles, their talents have been widely sought after for decades of A-list parties hosted by celebrities such as Whoopi Goldberg, Tom Arnold, Steve Jobs, and George Lucas.

The sound of “Lookin' Up” proves that Jack Mack and the Heart Attack Horns haven't aged like fine wine, as the cliché goes, because The Heart Attack simply hasn't aged at all. The new EP record is like an elevated Chicago train that doubles as a time machine, whisking the listener away to the days of Motown, when real funk used blasts from a hot brass section to emphasize walking bass lines and punctuate the bright flickety-flick of a disco-style rhythm guitar. Fans of James Brown, Tower of Power and Otis Redding will be enthusiastically impressed and gladdened by this thundering record.

Jack Mack and the Heart Attack Horns is fronted by Oak-Ridge born, New-Orleans raised Mark Campbell, who was singing gospel, soul, R&B, and southern rock in the French Quarter by the age of 16, four and five nights weekly. His vocals are impossibly precise, yet raw and rich, studio-perfect, yet entirely live and natural, proving him capable of improvising new turns of phrase in every iteration.

Every instrumentalist on the record is a giant in the industry, and the female backing vocals are fantastic, as well. Featured players include, but in no way are limited to: Les Lovitt (Eagles), Terry Landry (Luis Miguel), Roy Weigand (The Who), Davey Faragher (Elvis Costello), Carlos Murguia (Rikki Lee Jones), and Les Falconer (Keb Mo); Emmy and BMI Award winner E.G. "Snuffy" Walden; pianist Reese Wynans (Allman Brothers, Stevie Ray Vaughn, Buddy Guy); and Rock-and-Roll Hall of Fame honoree Julie Delgado (John Mayer, Stevie Wonder, Janet Jackson);

Music fans who have not yet been introduced to the Jack Mack and the Heart Attack Horns experience can do so online worldwide beginning spring, 2013, when their five-song EP “Lookin' Up” goes on sale for the mellow price of $4.99.

Tray Chaney releases debut EP 'Hungry, Humble, Honest, Vol. I'



Tray Chaney, the actor best known for his role as Poot in HBO's hit program, “The Wire,” has released his debut hip hop EP, titled, “Hungry, Humble, Honest Vol. I.” The album is comprised of six solid tracks with the traditional urban underground sound, but without the typical hip hop themes of cash, grass, and promiscuity to accompany it.

In fact, Chaney has made quite a name for his new rap career with his hit single and video, “Live,” which is subtitled as his “World AIDS Anthem.” The track encourages sexually active people to use their brains before engaging other portions of their bodies. To emphasize this point, Chaney's video was shot on location at the AIDS Memorial Quilt.

This is typical of Chaney's rap in this first official offering – it is intellectual, respectable, dignified, and fantastically poetic. His rhymes are slick, quick, and seemingly off the cuff. He turns phrases like an F1 car turns corners. The beats bump, the groove is deep, and true to the title of the record, Chaney's lines are nothing but true, true, true.

“I want to give the fans all of my personal experiences,” says the up and coming rap artist. “'Hungry' represents me wanting to put my all in whatever I do. 'Humble' represents how I appreciate all the joy and pain to a certain extent that I have experienced. It makes me a better person. 'Honest' gives that true essence of how I feel about certain situations. You will be able to hear the honesty throughout the whole EP.”

He's right, too. One can tell that the man isn't fooling with his audience, simply by listening.

The world can judge for itself, though. “Hungry, Humble, Honest, Vol. I” is available online worldwide in spring of 2013.

Vaughty releases new electronica single 'Endless Road'


The music artist known as Vaughty has released his newest electronica single, titled, “Endless Road,” on the Aggro Monkey Records label. The song is a dance-floor friendly anthem with upbeat, emotionally charged chord progressions, and 80s-style synth instrumentation. Fans of Vaughty's underground cult-classic, “Warm Inside,” will not be disappointed by the familiar new-wave sensibilities Vaughty loves to fill his music with, and which keep listeners clamoring for more from the young and endlessly fun composer.

Perhaps most remarkable about this latest Vaughty single, which is an instant classic and for which he is certain to be known in short time, is how time flies when one listens to it. At just under five minutes long, the track is relatively comprehensive, yet it seems over just as soon as it has started. This temporal shift is not unlike the experience of “Warm Inside,” which is approximately the same length and also seems to always end too soon. Vaughty music – and “Endless Road” in particular – inspires a yearning need for more Vaughty music. It's addicting. One chain-smokes his singles in repetition.

Part of the unstoppable flavor of “Endless Road” is that Vaughty has re-orchestrated the track from a nearly forgotten song of yesteryear, with which he fell in love and felt compelled to recreate it from his own vision, like da Vinci painting the Mona Lisa.

“It's a cover song,” Vaughty says of this. “It was originally written by Alides Hidding and performed by his band, the Time Bandits, in 1985.”

The Bandits' distinctive eighties feel is retained, and even polished up by Vaughty's rendition. He has also added the more nineteen-nineties elements for which his music is famed and adored, many attributes of which he shares with early electronica bands like Depeche Mode.

His vocals, provided by himself in his shadowy, yet strangely comforting tone, are far more stylistic than those of the original. The enrapturing, angelic voice of frequent Vaughty collaborator, Jenny Palmer, make “Endless Road” a work of such delicate finery that no music fan can ignore the secret treasure that is Vaughty any longer.

Fortunately, no music fan has to. “Endless Road” is available online worldwide beginning spring of 2013. Very un-fortunately, however, the Vaughty LP is still some time off. At least the world can content itself with this little piece of musical perfection in the meantime.

The June Rise releases new LP 'Of Raging Waters'



The instrumental music project known as The June Rise has released its latest LP, titled, “Of Raging Waters,” to clamorous, universal applause. The album is utterly, shockingly unique, and beautiful to its core. It is a musical representation of order from chaos, cohesion from abstracts, intelligence through incomprehensibility. It is absolutely impossible to quantify, except that no portion of the record consists of anything but wild gorgeousness, untrammeled genius, and the unpretentious creativity of one of the music world's most adventurous composers since John McLaughlin and his Mahavishnu Orchestra.

The June Rise is the musical pen name of Mark Yodice, who personally composes and arranges all of the music on “Of Raging Waters.”

“[I've] loved music from day one,” he writes of his musical past. “Always listening at home; especially fascinated by the guitar at an early age; began playing as a teen and have been ever since…”

While the end result of The June Rise is only implausibly communicated in language, elements can be reasonably extracted for examination. There is a healthy dose of jazz in the album, as well as classical, folk, and progressive rock inspirations.

A great many artistic and philosophical attributes are also present. Postmodernism abounds in “Of Raging Waters.” Deconstructionism is also present in the way Yodice breaks apart seemingly predictable movements and rebuilds entirely new projections from them. There is even a suggestion of the multidimensional nature of time and space – if this can be believed – in his simultaneous, differing melodies, which often braid together without blending, fading in and out of one another with various and inconstant interrelations.

The June Rise, himself, puts it far more succinctly:

“It’s an instrumental record,” he says. “A friend expressed it really nicely – it’s a reflection of our shifting and often overwhelming emotional seas. The title alludes to this, too.”

Intuitively, he names as main musical influences a grab bag of entirely different artists, such as Juana Molina, Bjork, Egberto Gismonti, Bill Evans, The Beatles, Americana, Bela Bartok, the Tin Hat Trio, and “all sorts of ethnic and 'world’ music, like Amiina and Badi Assad.”

No amount of music-listening experience can prepare the hearer for “Of Raging Waters” by The June Rise. Fortunately, however, none is needed. Its excellence is not an acquired taste.

In fact, The June Rise is a musical experience all its own, one that nobody's appreciation of art is intact without hearing. “Of Raging Waters” is available online worldwide in spring, 2013.

Constance Alex George releases new single 'I'll Be There'


The gospel R 'n' B singer Constance Alex George has released her newest single track, titled, “I'll Be There.” Hot on the heels of her recent hit music video, “My Destiny,” Alex George's “I'll Be There” is slated to be a chart-topping radio triumph, as well as an instant Internet radio smash success. The Colorado-born singer of film scores such as “Some One for Me” and “He Doesn’t Know It” is also the head of Clex Records, Inc., on which label this newest single, “I'll Be There,” has been published.

Having begun her singing career at the age of 12 at her local church, Constance Alex George has been making steady headway in the contemporary gospel and R 'n' B music scenes ever since. Her usual themes of spiritual steadfastness, unshakable faith, and the adoration of her Lord and Savior are omnipresent throughout her work. In this, “I'll Be There” is no different.

“This single has a message for every one,” writes Alex George. “Encouragement, inspiration, the hope for a better tomorrow... It hits hard on the struggles that we all face day-to-day, and pushes you to keep your head up high and try again.”

Her proverbs are communicated in plain English, and to which enlightening epigrams anyone in any circumstance can relate.

“Even if you fail, you can do it,” councils the chanteuse, “just rise up and try again. Even when you feel alone, you are not alone. God will always be there. He understands, and will always be there for you, no matter the situation.”

The rising success of Constance Alex George stands as clear proof for thousands of fans that He has certainly not forsaken her in her own musical quest. She names as main musical influences the likes of Shirley Caesar, Toni Braxton, Kirk Franklin, and Adele, names which her own may soon be joining in the chronicles of America's most beautiful, clarion, and crystal-clear voices.

“I'll Be There” by Constance Alex George is available worldwide in spring of 2013.

Jaded Ibis Productions releases compilation LP 'Edible Flowers'



The eclectic and forward-thinking publishing house, Jaded Ibis Productions, has released its newest brainchild in the form of a compilation LP, titled, “Edible Flowers.” The comp contains 16 original tracks for just under an hour's worth of ingenious listening. The record rallies the sonic and literary artistry of many Jaded Ibis writers, and serves as a marvelous introduction for readers and listeners alike to one of North America's most imaginative and adventurous publishers.

These tracks cover a broad spectrum of genres and make for an exceptionally intellectual experience. “Edible Flowers” is suitable for a surprisingly elastic array of circumstances, as well, such as a respectable and interesting background for a cocktail party, driving around town, personal listening, and more. Some tracks contain material of a shocking, mature nature, though this is for purposes of artistic expression and by no means warrants the obligatory “Parental Advisory” sticker.

“Monster” by Resident Anti-Hero is not unlike the brutal, beer-bottle honesty of Charles Bukowski, for instance, and the tone of “Logical Conclusion,” by Yasutoshi Yoshida, is reminiscent of the stone-cold sociopathy of Chuck Palahniuk's characters. These are perhaps the grittiest tracks, but artists OC Notes and Lisa Dank also boast three funky, deep-groove songs decorated with rarefied writing of a highly sexual and socially conscious nature.

A strong, beautiful digital music presence exists on the album, too. Patch Rubin's tracks are lofty piano compositions mixed with ambient digital orchestration for a refined, spacious sound. Paul D. Miller (often billed as DJ Spooky) creates remarkable, striking digital remixes of classical compositions from Bach.

Other tracks on “Edible Flowers” are more stylistically traditional. John Gallagher provides a magnificent track of guitar and vocals called “No One Told Me I Was Going to Disappear,” which has a slightly Latin-flavored tone and gorgeous, folk-music sensibility. “Ready to Burn” features the combination of Tornado in a Jar's flawless guitar playing and Betsy Carney's fresh, unadorned vocals. These tracks easily exceed the quality of most singer-songwriter pieces on mainstream radio today.

Among the most literary pieces comes material taken from “Your Metaforest Guidebook” by Anna Joy Springer, Rachel Carns, and Tara Jane O’Neill. These three spoken-word songs form a psycho-spiritual, metaphysical, and highly poetic exodus into the multifarious possibilities of being.

In addition to being a collection of the finest sonic art available today, Jaded Ibis' “Edible Flowers” also represents the high-minded principles of its publishers. Half of the net proceeds from the sales of the record will benefit the Wild Salmon Center, a non-profit organization protecting the last, best wild salmon ecosystems of the Pacific Rim. Jaded Ibis is noted for widespread ecological involvement, as well as for respecting their authors with far greater royalty shares than typical publishing houses.
“Edible Flowers” by Jaded Ibis Productions is available online worldwide in spring of 2013.

Dead Man's Thoughts releases new single 'Nothing Left to Do'


The punk rock crew known as Dead Man's Thoughts have released their newest single, “Nothing Left to Do,” on Honey Bunny Records. The track heralds the coming of their forthcoming LP record, “Dusty Road to Nowhere.” The overall sound of “Nothing Left to Do” immediately recalls UK legends The Clash, but a minimalist approach to the instrumentation and structure of the song, as well as a lurking, restrained undercurrent of aggression that permeates the track, hints at Dead Man's Thoughts' more explosive nature.

A look at their charging, riotous 2012 LP, “Ayahuasca,” gives the listener a fuller idea of what “Dusty Road to Nowhere” is likely to entail. One must consider especially the open-minded creativity that resulted in tracks 10 and 12 of that excellent record. Like these surprising songs on “Ayahuasca,” the single “Nothing Left to Do” is a punk rock song from the heart and soul of punk culture, and it says more about the band's bulletproof artistic integrity than it does about playing hard, fast, and loud.

Since the nineteen-nineties, many listeners have considered the term “punk” to be synonymous with one-two beats, harmonic overtones, and simple, pop-music chord progressions the likes of which bands like Green Day and The Offspring made famous. Real music fans know better, though. The punk rock of the seventies and eighties was, on many levels, much more complex, a music scene absolutely exploding with variety and innovation. In many other ways it was also far more basic and musically fundamental. “Nothing Left to Do” proves that modern bands like Dead Man's Thoughts are the proper inheritors of this versatile, unbounded sound.

The guitar tones of “Nothing Left...” are bright, yet edgy, its bass lines prominent, active and agile. Its drums are clever and jazzy, yet unpretentious, utilizing a garage-style kit. True to traditional punk principles, DMT's vocals are direct, raw, and delivered without frills or flamboyance, but also characterized by a high degree of natural skill, something that has never been a prerequisite in the scene.

“The whole album is changing its face like the weather,” writes Dead Man's Thoughts of their upcoming album. “One moment you're looking into the skies and thinking about having a good time, the next you're hit by a song like a bolt from the blue. It`s just like life…”

“Nothing Left to Do” by Dead Man's Thoughts is available online everywhere beginning April 26, 2013.

Traditional Aztec musician Mazatl Galindo releases new LP 'Red'



The musical composer and performer known as Mazatl Galindo has released his newest full-length record album, titled simply, “Red.” The album contains 10 tracks for a total of 45 minutes' worth of enchanting, remarkable music. The songs utilize a creative, tasteful mix of instrumentation with an emphasis on raw, warm, acoustics such as flute, guitar, and percussion, but also including a light smattering of synthesized effects, drums and keyboard, which blend a more contemporary atmosphere with the sounds of the pre-Columbian era.

Composer and performer Mazatl Galindo is a native of Mexico City, which is built upon the foundation of the largest Aztec city-state, Tenochtitlan, in the Valley of Mexico. He names as his main musical influences a broad spectrum of geniuses, including the famous film composer, Ennio Morricone, Genesis front man and flautist, Peter Gabriel, noted postmodern composer Philip Glass, and the Chilean folk ensemble, Inti-Illimani. Galindo got his start in music with traditional Aztec, Amerindian ceremonial song and dances, the foundation of which has informed his arts from the very beginning.

Galindo has devoted his life to the preservation of pre-Columbian music, having composed original scores for documentaries, films and commercial recordings using his collection of more than 200 original instruments. He has appeared (among a great many other venues) at the Museum of the American Indian in New York City, the Museum of Art in Dallas, the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, and the Young Museum in San Francisco. He has also performed at many vitally important sites of the ancient world, including Stonehenge in England, the Great Pyramid of Giza in Egypt, and Machu Picchu in Peru.

He is well schooled in Ancient American art, architecture, astronomy, mathematics, philosophy, cosmology and ceremony. He strives with his music to communicate the Aztec understanding of an interconnectedness that runs throughout all life, and which directly relates humanity to the natural world.

His majestic, newest contribution to the appreciation and preservation of pre-Columbian culture, the album “Red,” is available online worldwide beginning April 26, 2013.

Electronica artists THEBLND release debut EP 'Flashbang'


The Bay Area electronica musicians known as THEBLND have released their debut extended play record, titled, “Flashbang.” The album is an eclectic and sleek work of digital music the likes of which hasn't been seen since bands like the UK's Depeche Mode and France's year-2000 duo, Air. Like both these excellent acts who retain so much popularity, THEBLND creates timeless music that is absolutely well suited to almost any situation, whether it be midnight on an Italian dance floor at an underground club, a night drive through London, or simply taking a walk through one's neighborhood streets in the sunlight.

“Flashbang” serves these many purposes partially out of its own complexity: at over 27 minutes' worth of playing time, it is almost a full length LP release; and the six tracks are various enough to suit just about any mood. Its tone is cool and dark, but not to the point of Gothic inspiration. Its beats are invigorating, strong, and passionate, but not melodramatic or impulsive. The consistent excellence in its composition is one of its most impressive and enjoyable traits. Of especial note is the fifth track, too, which features rapper Felton Parker. It is a standout on the album, and has a soulful, intense character all its own.

“Flashbang” gets its name for the artists' intent to make a powerful experience from a short album. As the album is only an EP release, they succeeded in the latter, but it is in the little record's power that they truly excelled. The compelling nature of these tracks begs for a full-length followup.

“Our idea,” writes THEBLND, “was to make electronic music with dyes of rock using organic sounds, adventuring into new structures and playing with the listener’s mind throughout the EP.”

Hearing them speak of this is remarkably, eerily near to hearing the record, itself.

“Our main objective was to make an EP that would be a short but very powerful experience for the listener. Like a 'Flashbang' [a flare grenade intended to blind enemies].”

The EP has already made a 'bang,' but a flash in the pan it certainly is not.

“Flashbang” by THEBLND is available online everywhere beginning April, 2013.

S.P.A.D.E releases new single '40oz.'



The Brooklyn grown rap artist known as S.P.A.D.E has released his newest hip hop single, titled, “40oz.” on Igrindnyc Records, to broad critical and fan acclaim. The single is a down low, laid back anthem of the urban underground with all of the slick class and mystique that has made S.P.A.D.E one of the most rapidly climbing stars of the year 2013.

The music of S.P.A.D.E's track features a jazzy back beat with a restrained ride cymbal for accompaniment, traditional hip hop synth melody lines, and suave, mellow keys played lightly in the background. This is all stage and circumstance surrounding the main attraction, however, which is the writing and performance of S.P.A.D.E, himself.

S.P.A.D.E has taken a fresh view of nightlife in his new single, “40oz.” In this latest track, his rap is understated and sung deep in the groove, with plenty of verve, swing and style, bespeaking a quiet arrogance for which his musician's bio says he has become famous:

In the eyes of others he may come off as a bit 'cocky,'” it reads, “but to him, he is simply confident and comfortable with his vibrant style.”

This vibrant style is certainly omnipresent in “40oz.,” which is all about the general mood and tone of the music. In fact, it is S.P.A.D.E's style that seems to direct the song's energy from start to finish. All swagger aside, though, there is meaning that comes with his poetry of the street.

This record,” S.P.A.D.E writes, “gives a view how alcohol consumption makes you think and do different things. We abuse certain things. There’s always a better way.”

Today's better way to modern hip hop is “40oz.” by New York City's S.P.A.D.E. Keep an eye on him. And the better way to handle a forty-ouncer?

Enjoy your drink, but don’t over do it,” says the rapper.

40oz.” by S.P.A.D.E is available online worldwide April 23, 2013.

Myles Sanko releases debut solo album 'Born in Black and White'



The soul singer and songwriter based in England known as Myles Sanko has released his debut EP record album, titled, “Born in Black & White,” to broad critical and fan acclaim. The album consists of seven original funk and soul tracks written and performed by Sanko, himself, for a total playing time of approximately 22 minutes. The record is composed and played in the style of soul greats such as Bill Withers, Otis Redding, Al Green and James Brown, all of whom Sanko names openly and proudly as his main musical influences. A stop-to-finish work of deep, deep groove and jazzy musical perfection, “Born in Black & White” is certain to be the first in a long, long line of remarkable and wonderful solo releases from Sanko to come.

Myles Sanko began his music career by singing and rapping alongside disc jockeys in nightclubs. He has fronted popular bands such as Bijoumiyo, and Speedometer. He has also toured with Martha High, James Brown's accomplished collaborator for more than three decades.

“My intention,” writes Sanko, “is to produce music with a feel good vibe and lyrical content that makes my listeners think.”

In order to select an appropriate collection of compositions for professional recording in the studio, Sanko uploaded live videos of himself giving acoustic performances to the Internet. He then invited his bevy of fans throughout Europe to give their opinions regarding which tracks would best fit his upcoming EP release. This interactive spirit, which has guided Sanko's solo career to date, reveals much about his humanist spirit, genial character, and artistic integrity.

“I want my music to be a real place to feel alive,” says Myles Sanko. “True motivation is the reaction I get from my audience when I perform, and I intend on making music that I love listening to. It’s the only way to stay authentic and to not lose yourself in all the other musical influences out there.”

“Born in Black & White” by Myles Sanko is available online worldwide beginning April 23, 2012.

The European pop sensation known as Fiona (Miss 2.1) has released her latest single and accompanying music video, titled, “Up & Down,” to rave critical and fan reviews. The song is a digitally composed, electronic dance music single that features the youthful verve and beautiful singing of Fiona (Miss 2.1). It is a romantic track with a carefree spirit and jubilant attitude, much like Fiona, herself. The single is the latest in a string of popular dance music singles from Fiona (Miss 2.1) that includes the powerhouse hits, “Lucky Night” and “Boy Toy.”

The music of “Up & Down” is steeped in the contemporary style of modern dubstep, with an undercurrent of old-school house music at its core. The dubstep overtones, combined with Fiona's happy-go-lucky singing and a funky, clean-channel rhythm guitar, make “Up & Down” a suitable listen for night drives through the city, a boombox day at the beach, or simply walking about the town. It will naturally find most of its audience in the heat of midnight at underground dance clubs worldwide, however, where its deep groove and thumping back beat are sure to rile the crowds into a frenzy.

Speaking of the themes this latest track has in store for fans, Fiona (Miss 2.1) writes in her characteristically upbeat and confident manner, “Life is great! Live everyday like it’s your last and don’t care about what people try to tell you. Just be true to yourself!”

Fiona (Miss 2.1) was part of the popular German girl-group called The Lollipops, with whom she enjoyed spectacular success and many mainstream Top 100 releases.

M.A.C. releases new single 'Fly Away (feat. Katie Taylor)'



The Long Island, New York artist known as M.A.C. has released his debut single, titled, “Fly Away (feat. Katie Taylor)” on the Aces Nation record label. The song is a rap anthem of modern urban romance and showcases to many listeners for the first time the writing and rapping talents of one of NYC's most evocative and vibrant up-and-coming artists. The track also features the clarion voice and masterful singing skills of Katie Taylor, who appears at length for supporting vocals on the track.

M.A.C. is the stage moniker of Bay Shore native, Miguel Angel Cabreja. He has said that the themes of his songs have revolved around stories drawn from his own personal life, which he calls his greatest muse.

“Through writing lyrics,” he writes candidly, “I've found myself able to freely project every thought and feeling, bringing them to life through music that contains energy and character.”

Certainly, M.A.C.'s character is ever-present in “Fly Away.” His performance is lightning quick, yet eloquent, poetic, and remarkably well enunciated. Listening carefully to his words is like thinking ideas in rapid succession, one after another, with a mental alacrity that far exceeds the casual cadence with which one is used to thinking. Hearing M.A.C. rap sounds and feels, in many ways, like waking up with a clear head, a sober mind, and a razor sharp intellect.

His goals for making hip-hop music are also very clear.

“Through creating music,” he says, “I want to send a message to this generation to persevere, to be inspired, and to pursue every goal and dream they’ve ever thought of, and to not let anything or anyone stop their dreams.”

A teacher by example, M.A.C. is currently attending Full Sail University for the Recording Arts and concurrently planning his maiden musical tour. Though his own impetuous ambitions are obvious, it cannot be missed that the focus of this debut track is one of dedicated romance, the passionate love of another. M.A.C.'s other themes will have to wait for his inevitable (and hopefully impending) LP record album.

“Fly Away (feat. Katie Taylor)” is available online worldwide beginning April 22, 2013.

The Six Sixes release self-titled debut LP 'The Six Sixes'



The rock duo from Roswell, GA, known as The Six Sixes have released their eponymous debut record LP, titled, “The Six Sixes.” The album contains 14 original tracks for a total playing time of over 50 minutes, making for a fairly comprehensive and generous introduction to music listeners worldwide. The album is a modern rock title with an honest, independent-label feel to its excellent production, and boasts some of the most creative and fun songwriting the scene has been privy to since the Ramones.

The general sound of “The Six Sixes” by The Six Sixes suggests a combination between Pete Doherty's The Libertines and the hotter numbers on The Jesus and Mary Chain's 1995 album, “Psychocandy.” Like the Mary Chain, The Six Sixes are bursting with restrained aggression that leaks from between their well-penned lines, their melodies colorful and profound, raggedly blurred with a Nirvana-style noisiness over everything.

There is a poppy, Beatles-esque cleverness to their chord progressions, as well as bright, active bass lines that recall the quietly prominent bass of 80s and 90s bands like The Cure. Percussion is straightforward, laid-back, delicately ingenious and as precise as a jazz drummer who does surgery in his spare time.

The result of all this is a form of alt rock that can happily be played under almost any circumstances, although the listener will quickly learn that the louder this album is, the better it sounds. This is at least partially due to their background in electronic dance music, which informs the spacious, cosmic atmosphere of digital effects that surrounds their music like drifting clouds. There are little, subtle sonic details that cannot be properly appreciated unless the listener's stereo is at a 6 of 10.

Concerning the themes in the fantastic writing of their record, The Six Sixes say, “Our debut is sort of about coming of age during the Bush/Obama era. Its lyrical content is romantic, but dystopian. It’s about how love is an illusion.”

“The Six Sixes” by The Six Sixes is available online everywhere beginning April 22, 2013.
