Telltale share new song and video for “Cobain feat. Honey Revenge!”

January 28, 2022

Rock band Telltale is excited to share their new single and music video “COBAIN,” a melancholy track featuring LA-based artist Honey Revenge. “COBAIN” is out now via European label Rude Records. About the song, the band shares: “There’s a line out the door of artists trying to cut their teeth, trying to be the next “great.” You can make a goal of signing a deal, or touring the world, but at the end of the day it’s all about hustle. The party lifestyle is going to try and sweep you up and people aren’t always going to give a shit about what you’re trying to do. So keep your nose clean and grind. Nirvana may have been an overnight success, but this isn’t the 90s anymore.” “There’s a lot of kids out there who will never see their dreams and talents recognized because of circumstance. I read somewhere that making a living on music is 10% skill and the other 90% luck. If you consider the kind of “luck” afforded to young people living without [Read More]
