STRATEGIC ARTIST ADVOCACY SINCE 1997
"My Own Way," the new single from Atlas Road Crew is out today on all streaming services, and Paste has the premiere of the "joyous and carefree" music video for you today, too. Shot in one take by Dries Vanderburg of SUSTO, go and check out the guys "making good on the promise they’ve shown the last couple of years."
“There is obsessive joy in the Fawns of Love’s take on shoegaze.” Check out the music video for "That's What We Do," inspired by the Kate Bush clip for "The Red Shoes," via The Big Takeover!
20 Minute Loop approached this subject matter with an incredible sensitivity and reverence that I've never heard in a song about immense human tragedy before. Thanks out to Atwood Magazine for eloquently covering "Giftgas" with that same attitude. This song is the sole new number on Songs Praising The Mutant Race, the band's stripped-down reworking of songs from its extensive catalog, out tomorrow.
Gotta say that Jared Putnam as Susanna Hoffs looks completely natural (#fakenews). Thanks out to Cover Me for premiering the second in this series of 80's tributes by The March Divide. Listen to Jared covering The Bangles covering Prince. It's "Manic Monday" for real!
Check out the "delightfully twisted" music video for "Mercury Vapor" by 20 Minute Loop via BLURT today, and celebrate with the band tomorrow at the 20 Minute Loop: 20th Anniversary and LP Release show as part of Noise Pop 25 in San Francisco!
Symmetry Somewhere, the debut album from Minneapolis five-piece Tabah, arrives March 17th! Impose notes the "opaque and beautiful melodies" and "pure loveliness" of the "transportive" first single "Curtain Call," streaming now!
FLOOD Magazine nails it in its premiere of "That's What We Do" by Fawns of Love, saying the Bakersfield, CA, duo "draw heavily on their love of Kate Bush (their name being a Hounds of Love reference), but they filter her through the soft gauze of Cocteau Twins and Slowdive." Debut album out March 3rd, band plays L.A. at the Echo Park Film Center tomorrow!
I'm psyched about the series of 80's cover songs that Jared Putnam of The March Divide is releasing, each accompanied by a different cover image created by Krist Krueger, and featuring Jared "wearing" the era-compliant hairstyle of the artist he's covering. First up is "Closedown" from The Cure (as if that wasn't already clear!) Thanks out to Verbicide Magazine!
Atwood Magazine notes that Fawns of Love "captures turmoil through impenetrable sonic textures and emotionally thick lyrics" on the new shoegazey single "Silly Boy," taken from the band's upcoming debut album Who Cares About Tomorrow, arriving March 3rd.
Los Angeles-based "literate pop group," the black watch, will release The Gospel According To John, its 15th album in 30 years of making music, on April 21st, 2017. As a teaser, check out the video for album cut "Way Strange World" via BLURT!
"A respect for raw expression while leaving room for nuance and beauty. Provides an immersive and mind-altering experience," says Culture Collide with the premiere of the music video for "Define My Name" by The Ferdy Mayne. A beautiful song deserves a beautiful video like this. Watch!
Cotton Mather is nearing the half-way mark! Robert Harrison is writing 64 mini-pop masterpieces, one for each reading of the I Ching, an "extraordinary book about ordinary life," as he defines it. The latest is the final version of the song "Faded," which features Nicole Atkins on vocals, and is one of three tracks with Nicole for the project that will be released on 12/30. Thanks out to The Bluegrass Situation for premiering this one!
Impose is feeling the "bittersweet beauty" of the music video for "That Song I Wrote For You" by The March Divide! Check out the premiere today.
"A beautiful guitar solo, a pleading chorus, a spacey Western twang that makes you think now that Firek has ridden off into the sunset, there’s a happy ending somewhere in the horizon." - Kevin Bronson of Buzzbands.la with the premiere of "Define My Name" by The Ferdy Mayne
Thanks out to The Big Takeover with the premiere of the latest music video from Dallas-based duo Corner Suns. See "The Speed of Sound" now! Debut album out Jan. 13th on Idol Records.
