ARI’s creative duality promises a game changing talent with Tunnel Vision.

July 8, 2016

(Los Angeles) The past doesn’t define you, nor does it make you who you are. These are the words and the definitive core of the musician/artist/provocateur ARI, whose past is complex and painful but also exultant. Regardless of bygone fears and refuges, she will not let her past tunnel vision either her life or her music. Instead, she uses it to inform it. The result is not just music, but a music/artform that makes her one of the most interesting performers on the music scene today. With a voice that ranges from childlike to ancient crone, a music structure that elides format boundaries and yet stays engrossing and entertaining, and a visual presentation both on stage and in video that is a performance art in itself, ARI is at once alien and comfortably familiar as she emerges with the promise of being a game changer. Toronto-born LA-based ARI (a stage name she took as part of her public career) studied psychology in college and was a competitive figure skater. She had no [Read More]

Metal/hardcore band My Own Will are from Detroit, Michigan and have just released a new lyric video. The song is Deep Blue and is the third single off their 2015 debut EP Ghosts. Check out the lyric video here: Outside of releasing their debut, they’ve filmed and released two performance videos and have toured with The Convalescence and I, Apollo. With momentum in their favor, the band has crafted the lyric video for “Deep Blue”, the final song on Ghosts . “The song lyrically is about watching someone you care about sink into a pool of self-destruction, whether that self-destruction involves alcoholism, drug addiction, or even a toxic relationship. It is about being powerless, and unable to save your loved one from drowning themselves,” says vocalist David Keoppen. My Own Will is going to continue to steamroll their way through the heavy music landscape, with no signs of slowing down in the foreseeable future. Along with plans for a new tour in the works, they’re heading into the studio before the end of the year and will [Read More]

July 5, 2016

For Today have announced that this will be the last year for the band. They have released dates for the Farewell Tour. Check out their post on Facebook earlier today: After over 11 years as a band, 6 full length albums and 1 EP, we have decided to make 2016 the last year of For Today. When we started this band in 2005, we never imagined that our music would make it out of Sioux City, Iowa, let alone take us all around the world multiple times. Our lives have been hugely impacted by the time we’ve spent making music and touring. We met our wives, had kids and moved to different states because of For Today. It’s been an incredible experience, but we feel like now is the time to close this chapter of our lives and move on. There’s no behind the scenes drama happening or disagreements between band members. We’re all still best friends and will continue to be long after the band is over. We want to thank everybody who has [Read More]
