In Air- The Glow EP is (almost) here

I'm so excited about this post that I can't come up with a catchy intro!!!

What I will tell you is that yes, the long awaited and highly anticipated EP from In Air, The Glow, is in fact almost here. BUT, I am fortunate enough to have been given permission by the guys to share with you the EP ahead of it official public release date of 05/30/13.

I first came across this band around the middle of 2011. It took me some time to get around to checking out their music... and I'm sorry that it took me as long as it did! At that time, the band was know as Nobody Gets Killed, and their debut album, Just a Seed, will forever hold a place very near and dear to my heart for what it gave to me... REAL music. When the band decided last year on a name and (musical) style change, I think they were more worried than their fans about how it would go. Just a Seed would be enough to give ANY band an ulcer when it comes to recording a follow-up. But really Mo, Mike and Tony, you guys have absolutely nothing to worry about because The Glow is AMAZING!

So without further ado, I give to you, in all its digital re-mastered glory, The Glow by In Air!




THIS is what alternative music is about today. Period.

Not that I'm putting any pressure on you guys, but when does the full album come out? LOL!

Poor Yorick

No, I'm not about to start quoting Shakespeare to you... I'm going to introduce you to one of the coolest indie bands that SoCal has to offer.

THIS is Poor Yorick!

Now, if that's not a proper introduction to Poor Yorick, well then, you're reading the wrong blog people!

Poor Yorick is a Los Angeles, CA, USA based indie band led by Rome Balestrieri on vocals and piano and featuring Michael Holowatch on drums, Mars de la Mancha on lead guitar, and David Gielan on guitar/bass/backing vocals.

The best compliment that I think I can pay this awesome band is to not try to group them into one genre or another. As you can see from the video for  Still Not Over You, Poor Yorick can rip it up with the best of them. Give 'em a listen and you'll find jazz influences (Here Again & Kissing You (Des'ree cover)), pop influences (Water and Sky & one of the coolest covers ever recorded, Wicked Game) to alternative (Oblivion) and some good old fashioned alt/rock (Sea of Conundrum).

Euphoria Audio: Pledge Music Project

As a proud card-carrying member of the #EUAUARMY, it is with great pleasure that I bring this post to you tonight.

The band has recorded their long-awaited and highly anticipated debut album. Now they need our help to get the album out... and to take back music!

I first discovered the music of Euphoria Audio over a year ago, thanks in large part to my personal discovery of #Indie music and the fine folks at Wise Radio. This is a band who instantly connects with their fans thru their music and their unending interaction with us thru social networking sites such as Facebook and Twitter. Most recently, the band has added weekly updates to their YouTube page as well as their SoundCloud page.





The band has officially kicked off their Pledge Music project to allow the fans to help them fund the release of their album. We the fans have entrusted Euphoria Audio to bring the music back to us. Now it's our turn to give back to the band.













Please click on the link below to see the full project update. There are a lot of different price points to pledge and some very generous gifts being offered by the band as well. Please find it within yourself to help fund this very worthy project. With close to 25,000 followers on Twitter and nearly 8,000 "likes" on Facebook, this should be a slam dunk, right?

I've already pledged... will you?

Richie Ashwin

I'll be the first to admit that I haven't been much into r&b and/or hip-hop in some time. If I'm being honest, I haven't really been into it since the early part of the 1990's. To me, this genre was the first to fall into the big record trap of putting out the same bland artists that sounded like the same bland artists that were already all over mainstream radio.

Only recently have I rediscovered my love for r&b. You'll be seeing several r&b/hip-hop artists gracing the pages of this blog, and I'm very excited to introduce you all to London, England's very own Richie Ashwin!

Take a listen to to this insanely talented artist and hear everything that was right about r&b and hip-hop from back in the day... with a twist that makes him relevant in music today.




From Run DMC to Babyface to The Beastie Boys to Keith Sweat, you get the entire package wrapped up in Richie Ashwin. Synth-infused drum beats mixed with lyrics about life, love and relationships tied together by one of the smoothest voices today, welcome to the future of r&b- perfect for today!

Collette Andrea

It's not often that I'm blown away by a new (to me) singer. I usually have to have a listen or two to get a feel for the artist, to let the music seep in. That is until the first time I listened to singer/songwriter Collette Andrea.

Coming to you from Toronto, Ontario, Canada, Collette is a throwback to an era when music touched your soul. Intelligent lyric writing combined with innovative arrangements and one extremely melodic voice instantly take you back to the golden days of the singer/songwriter in the 60's and 70's, but with a fresh, now feeling.



 
Now is your time to discover one of the brightest hopes for the future of music!

Saints and Sinners

Got a question for you.

What do you get when you cross one of the top front men in rock n roll today with a genuine drive and passion for his craft?

You get Saints and Sinners, thanks to Kingdom of Few front man Curtis Butala!

Mixing equal parts acoustic rock, alternative rock and just flat out blow-up-your-earholes nasty, dirty rock n roll, Saints and Sinners is a project that Mr. Butala first put out about 6 or 7 years ago... and is already, in my book, one of the finest examples of music ever recorded. Period.

I have it on good authority that there may be some new Saints and Sinners material released by Curtis this summer... is it summer yet?

Check out Saints and Sinners today and get yourself back to what music can be again.
