Lesley Barth does it again with another great video!

May 12, 2016

  Folk rock singer/songwriter Lesley Barth has done it again. She captivates us with her new video for piano ballad, Good Like This. She brings to life the amazing atmosphere which was inspired by a recent trip to Silver Falls State Park. “I almost didn’t know what to do with how amazing the setting was,” says Barth, and that feeling is easy to understand given the stunning environment captured in the video. “It was so green, overwhelmingly vibrant and lively. I think that there’s something related about the setting and the meaning behind that song.” The clip allows viewers to venture through the park alongside the artist as the lyrics pose thoughtful questions.

Kevin Martin of Candlebox talks about their new album Disappearing In Airports

May 12, 2016

  The multi-platinum rockers Candlebox have been touring in support of their recently released album, Disappearing In Airports.  We were able to catch them when they made a stop in San Francisco at Slim’s. It was a packed house and the crowd was filled with long time fans as well as a slew of new ones.  They were amazing and their sound was timeless as many longtime fans found themselves back in the ’90s singing all of their favorites.  What was quite impressive was the warm reception that their new songs received. Many fans already knew all of the words of the new songs, and were rocking out.  Their album has been well received and it completely rocks. We had the chance to chat with Kevin Martin about the new album and the music scene today. We are pleased to bring that interview to you here: * * * * * * *  Music Junkie Press: Thank you for taking the time to talk with us here at Music Junkie Press. We have been very excited [Read More]

Interview with The Dramedy as they gear up for their new release of What Time Is Life?

May 12, 2016

The Dramedy out of Los Angeles truly caught our attention last year. David and Abby blew us away with their music and they are ready to do it again. They recently announced that they will be releasing their new song, What Time Is Life? on a cassette through Wiener Records.  We took a listen to the song and are quite impressed with the musicianship that The Dramedy have brought to the table with the track.  It is quite a different style than what you might be familiar with of their music, but once you take a listen, you will love it.  It has a haunting mysterious vibe that grabs your attention and shows the softer side of the band with lyrics that have you pondering life and reminding you to grasp it and make it your own. It challenges you to not just sit around, it encourages you to take life by the reigns and control your destiny. David’s vocals on it are powerful and yet comforting. We had a chance to chat with David [Read More]
