STRATEGIC ARTIST ADVOCACY SINCE 1997
The third single from Gregory Ackerman's And Friends (produced by Pierre de Reeder of Rilo Kiley) drops this Friday on V2 Records / Munich Records. Hear "Don't Need Nothin'" today over at PopMatters. Writer, Jonathan Frahm says, "“Bathed in Californian moonlight, reminiscent of folk and soft rock music coming from the West Coast in the ‘60s and ‘70s. Ackerman’s gentle voice is soothing straight out of the gate.”
"Deep, focused vocals seem to glide effortlessly through a dense fog as a rhythm of soft strings keeps us on target. This may be the perfect soundtrack to the morning." Thanks out to All Things Go for sharing the second single from the upcoming EP by Sleepspent, out May 4th on Slow Start Records.
“The Canadian band is pushing traditional music to a new place, and on a serious mission to find and convert fans unfamiliar with ‘progressive’ traditional music.” Mother Church Pew posts video of the opening cut from the new live album by JunoⓇ Awards-winners, The Fretless. Live at The Artfarm was recorded in front of a handful-sized audience, seated just feet from the band, with no overdubs.
When an author is also a songwriter: "A hazy and dreamy pop gem that merges gorgeous melodies with John Andrew Fredrick’s narrative storytelling." The new EP by the black watch is out on April 27th. Here now is the title track "The Paper Boats" courtesy of Treble.
"To peel away the layers and explain what's so much fun about the group's particular and peculiar brand of rock 'n' roll is like trying to explain why an ice cream cone or air-conditioned room are refreshing on a hot summer's day." There have been so many attempts to describe Peelander-Z over the years -- Jedd Beaudoin's hot take like this really resonates. Check out the premiere of the music video for "You Have Nice Tee Shirts" (directed by Toto Miranda of The Octopus Project) at PopMatters. The band's ninth album is Go PZ Go, out tomorrow on Chicken Ranch Records.
"A loving homage to the classic pop of the 80s." Thanks out to MXDWN for dropping another single from the debut album by Rush Week. Check out "Be Like Mike" now and listen up for the Feels full-length coming this Friday from Elefant Records.
