New Hope Club, a band destined to be the Next Big Thing!

July 17, 2017

New Hope Club in Santa Rosa opening for Sabrina Carpenter. We were so excited to catch the first opener of the Sabrina Carpenter show at the Luther Burbank Center. Check out our post on Sabrina’s show here. Her Summer De-Tour is travelling across the country and truly has some crowd pleasing openers. New Hope Club is a British pop trio and they were the perfect start for the evening. They delivered an energetic set that had the girls in screams and on their feet for the entire set. These boys are not only charming but have the musicianship to take them to new heights. New Hope Club was recently selected as a nominee for Teen Choice Awards under the category Next Big Thing. Well, let me tell you – they are well on their way! We hope you get a chance to vote for them by heading over to http://www.teenchoice.com/ We won’t be surprised if they take the win! Check out photos of their set by Rockin Ryan. (Click photo to enlarge) New Hope Club will be out [Read More]

Ramonda Hammer releases new alt-grunge-rock single, Bender and we are hooked on it!

June 28, 2017

We are hooked on the new track, Bender from Ramonda Hammer. It is an addictive track that brings together grunge and rock and swaddles it in 90’s alternative vibes and singes it with pop catchiness. We love it! The song is off their new EP Destroyers which is set for an August 4th release. Devin Davis comments about the new song, “I wrote ‘Bender’ when I was binge-watching Shameless for two weeks straight and I couldn’t get off the couch to do anything productive. In retrospect, I guess I could call it “research” or whatever, because I ended up writing this song. But yeah the lyrics are really just a conversation between two opposing sides in one’s brain. The verses ask questions from the more sane, healthy part of one’s psyche, and the choruses respond from the anxiety-ridden, depressed, and very frustrated side. And the reason this person (okay, it’s me!) is so effing frustrated is because they care so so so much, but when crippling depression sets in from time to time, when they [Read More]

Alt-pop duo Heirsound release their new music video for Heaven With You

June 16, 2017

The alt-pop duo of Heirsound which is Alexa San Román & Dane Petersen have just released a music video for their song, Heaven With You. The song is off their EP LAYERS, a three-volume collection of EPs that progresses through deeper levels of emotions as the layers unravel into a story. It is a great emotionally driven track that brings authenticity through it’s raw vulnerable feel transitioning into acceptance. It is a track that captures your attention and has you revisiting the first volumes.  On the song, Alexa San Román states: “Beginning Volume 3 with the sound of rain that you hear at the end of Volume 2 – ‘Heaven with You’ revisits the same story from Volume 1 except this time with a feeling of acceptance & letting go.  This song is the conclusion to the first narrative throughout Layers.  Although it is a separate narrative from the track ‘Next Life,’ the two are connected in that you must let go of one person to hold on to another.“  Check out the video here:   [Read More]
