Get addicted to the new single from Selfish Things

July 9, 2015

I must confess, I have a new addiction. Don’t worry, it is nothing that will harm me, instead it rejuvenates me and gives me the lift I needed to face the world ahead. My new addiction is the new single, Spooky Action at a Distance from Selfish Things. Alexander Biro comments, “I don’t consciously select ‘dark’ subject matter. I just think there is a lot of bullshit in the world; a significant lack of self respect. To keep people around you who treat you like shit simply because of a cultural expectation teaches you to feel obligated. To do so isn’t living.” Check out the infectious new track that will have you hooked: It has such a depth of emotion that rises and has become the new battle cry. Sometimes you need to look around and just cry out, no more. Rid yourself of the negative energy and you will see how much your world will be brighter.

Jake Ducey delivers inspiring spoken words out on Vans Warped Tour

July 9, 2015

In today’s age, it is so easy to get lost in the negatives. It seems that so much of social media can be surrounded with negative comments, memes, videos and just a river of things to bring you down.  So it is no surprise that we were so excited to see Jake Ducey out on Vans Warped Tour for their Spoken Word Stage. Jake is a young independent author and self published his first book,  The Wind: My Six-Month Journey Wandering the World for Life’s Purpose in 2013. Earlier this year, Ducey’s second book The Purpose Principles, with a foreword by Jack Canfield, creator of the Chicken Soup for the Soul series, was released. What better place to bring share his positive energy than to the youth out on Vans Warped Tour. We had the chance to chat with Jake backstage at the Mountain View date. Check out our interview here: I hope you get a chance to pick up his latest book. You truly may have found the light through whatever darkness you have [Read More]

Interview with Yoav of the Dolphin Propaganda about the upcoming Kings of Chaos Benefit concert

July 9, 2015

We are getting closer to the amazing Benefit concert for the Dolphin Project featuring supergroup rockers Kings of Chaos. The benefit is presented by Dolphin Propaganda and we had the chance to chat with Yoav Ben-Sushan who has put together this incredible benefit show to raise funds for The Dolphin Project. What we would really like everyone to know is about the incredible cause that the concert is being held for. How did you get started with the foundation? Yoav: I met Ric O’Barry who runs The Dolphin Project while I was living in Japan two years ago. He’s such an amazing guy & I was blown away by the work he’s doing and the terrible experience of the Dolphins that were being rounded up and sold or killed in the cove in Taiji, Japan. Since the movie The Cove was released and the world started paying attention, things have really changed, especially in Taiji, Japan. The local fisherman and police do a lot to hide the massacre from the world. I knew I had to do something [Read More]
