Get your fix of 90’s grunge-infused alt rock with Love Ghost!

December 14, 2016

  If you are craving new music, I have the perfect fix for you of 90’s grunge-infused alt/rock with Love Ghost. The Los Angeles band was formed 15-year-old frontman Finn Bell and the band features teenagers who are well beyond their years with their music. They bring out our love of 90’s grunge but blended with alt rock and a modern sound. Finn who is the lead vocalist and lyricist highlights his songwriting by taking you on an emotional journey. He describes his process as a continuous stream of consciousness, drawn from his emotional response. Bell expresses ‘It’s a shame that people tend to shy away from anything that feels too personal, because those types of things let you know who you really are.’ They have just released a cinematic video for their track, Forgive Me. Check out the video here: Their EP was produced by Mark Renk (P.O.D.). We will see if we can bring you an interview with this fast rising band soon. Make sure to visit their social media sites for more information. [Read More]

Soulful songstress Aly Tadros announces West Coast tour dates

December 14, 2016

The soulful songstress Aly Tadros successfully released her third fan funded album, Hungry Ghost. You can pick up the new album by heading over to:   iTunes  || Bandcamp || Spotify . Produced by Kevin Salem (Rachael Yamagata, Yo la Tengo, Mike Doughty) and Tadros herself, Hungry Ghost is an tangible example of an unabashed attitude towards living and creating. Borrowed from Buddhism, the title represents insatiable creatures with crippling appetites for things outside their bodies. For Tadros, constant touring, performing and drinking in her early career failed in giving her fulfillment, but emotionally charged her new 13-track LP.  Aly has just announced dates for her upcoming West Coast Tour: Jan 21 — Los Angeles, CA — Hotel Cafe Jan 22 — Fullerton, CA — Continental Room Jan 24 —  San Francisco, CA — Neck of the Woods Jan 25 — Portland, OR — White Eagle Saloon Jan 27 — Seattle, WA — Fremont Abbey A little bit more about Aly Tadros wears many hats, possessing a viral Internet presence, penning with introspective blog posts and pieces, being a TEDxYouth Speaker and Committee member and official representative of [Read More]

Spread some Holiday Cheer with Jeff Michael’s new song/video Green n’ Red

December 14, 2016

We know the holidays can be quite overwhelming as we all try to meet the expectations in our head of how things should go. But there is also something magical about this time of year. It reminds me of my favorite quote from the 1970’s Christmas classic, “Santa Claus is Coming to Town” Poor, misguided folks. They missed the whole point. Lot’s of unhappiness? Maybe so. But doesn’t Santa take a little bit of that unhappiness away? Doesn’t a smile on Christmas morning scratch out a tear cried on a sadder day? Not much maybe. But what would happen if we all tried to be like Santa and learned to give as only he can give: of ourselves, our talents, our love and our hearts? Maybe we could all learn Santa’s beautiful lesson and maybe there would finally be peace on Earth and good will toward men. I still get choked up every time I hear that. It just gives us all hope that things can get better and if we just take the time [Read More]
