June 23, 2016

Right after midnight PT, Motionless In White introduced their new single ‘570’ to the world. Soundwise it’s a bit heavier than the their latest releases.

Also they’ll make a special appearance at this year’s AP Awards on July 18th. They’re also nominated for this year’s awards for ‘Artist Of The Year’ and ‘Best LIVE Band’.

Halo Circus: a warrior’s anthem with a poet’s heart, and all American.

June 23, 2016

Halo Circus sings in the key of the second largest Spanish-speaking nation in the world, the USA. Allison Iraheta’s Latin blood has been hidden under the beats of American pop.   Born to immigrants from El Salvador, she was raised in Compton, the creative cauldron of South LA, where she sang, took voice lessons and  performed at the local Latin electronics store, La Curaçao.  She entered and won the reality contest show “Quinceañera: Mama Quiero Ser Artista” on Telemundo, singing in English and Spanish.

Finally, the long wait is over. The Color Morale released a new song today called ‘Walls’. It’s taken from their upcoming 5th studio album ‘Desolate Divine’, which will be out August 19th. Pre-orders will be available soon. The song shows once again the great song writing skills, especially lyrically, of frontman Garret Rapp. The song is a rocky tune that builds up slowly and has a catchy chorus.
