October 6, 2016

One thing is certain The Soul Shakers will definitely capture your attention with their straight up Rock n Roll. Their sound carries a deep passion for their music and is fueled by the bands that have inspired them; The Rolling Stones, Black Crowes, Aerosmith, Doors, etc. All bands that were highlighted by their honest feel good rock that would touch you deep in your soul.

HEIRSOUND release music video for “Choke” off their new EP, Merge

October 6, 2016

Alternative Pop Duo HEIRSOUND, formed by Alexa San Román & Dane Petersen (formerly of Love, Robot)  recently released their colorful debut EP, Merge in August. They have just released a music video for their song, Choke which is off the new EP. “Choke” is the oldest song on the EP as it was one of the first demos Alexa and Dane wrote together as a duo. This song feels most reminiscent of their old bands in the rock genre, because it’s very high energy & it’s a heavy topic; death. Lyrically this song is kind of the inner monologue of Alexa’s brain going back and forth with itself. San Roman explains, “touching on religion, death and the unknown, this song represents my own fears and existential crisis.” HEIRSOUND was formed in New York in December ’14 around the talents of singer/songwriters Alexa San Román & Dane Petersen while the members were still in transition from a previous musical endeavor. Built around the dueling vocals & guitars of Petersen & San Román, the two set out [Read More]
