J.M. Clifford releases touching new single, Raised in the Ashes

February 16, 2024

Brooklyn-based artist and educator J.M. Clifford has released his new single, “Raised In The Ashes,” via Brooklyn Basement Records. Clifford comments on the touching new track, “One of the joys of writing songs and making records is the fact that, at the end of the process, you’re left with this auditory journal that shows you what was going through your mind when those tunes came along. A theme that I address in this collection of songs is my evolving sense of spirituality and the conviction that we have a soul. I wasn’t raised in a particular faith tradition but I’ve spent plenty of time trying to orient myself and develop some understanding of what we’re all doing here and what the point of all of this is,” he adds. “This tune is one of those markers for me.” “Raised In The Ashes” was produced by platinum recording artist Ron Pope and features contributions from Robby Hecht (backing vocals) and Mountain Heart’s Seth Taylor on banjo and acoustic guitar.

METALCORE DROPOUT’S TOUR Coheadline with FIT FOR A KING & THE DEVIL WEARS PRADA

February 15, 2024

The 49ers were playing in the Superbowl and we didn’t know what to expect at the Metalcore Dropout’s Tour as they were playing on Superbowl Sunday in San Francisco. The Tour featured coheadline with Fit for a King and The Devil Wears Prada, along with openers Counterparts and Avoid. Well no worries because the place was packed as concertgoers were checking their phone’s before the first band hit the stage. The energy was intense as the 49ers teetered on a win as Avoid hit the stage. But as the show started all eyes were on the band. Then as the 49ers loss was announced, the crowd knew what to do as they let out their rage and anger with the fiercest mosh pit! Next up was the Canadian hardcore band Counterparts. We saw them a decade ago and they were every bit as energetic, if not more. They killed it and held us captive from start to finish. The crowd was wild as the co-headliner The Devil Wears Prada hit the stage. For a [Read More]

February 15, 2024

We are excited to share the awesome cover of Billy Idol’s Dancing With Myself from Maren Morris. Her cover of the classic track was produced by Gabe Simon (Noah Kahan, Lana Del Rey, Dua Lipa, Post Malone), alongside a video shot at Grimey’s record store in Nashville.

L.S. Dunes release new Valentine’s Day single, How Dare You

February 14, 2024

Today, L.S. Dunes: vocalist Anthony Green, guitarist Frank Iero, bassist Tim Payne, guitarist Travis Stever, and drummer Tucker Rule shared a brand-new single “How Dare You,”. The single was produced by Will Yip (Turnstile, Circa Survive, Quicksand) and L.S. Dunes and recorded at Yip’s Studio 4 Recording in Philadelphia, PA. Check out the new track here: Vocalist Anthony Green comments, “The past life is gone and yet it never really was. “How Dare You” examines the mentality behind what you choose to grab as you’re running out of your burning house. Except the burning house is in the dirt underneath your dentist’s fingernails. My parents had just sold the house I grew up in and I had just gotten sober again for the millionth time when I felt like what I imagine people say when they use the phrase “born again”. Even though I hadn’t lived there in years, I was still holding onto so much baggage and drama. I used to think my parents had an alarm system at that house connected to the police that would alert them in case [Read More]

Hey Violet releases angsty new track, Uncomplicated for Valentine’s Day

February 14, 2024

What better way to celebrate Valentine’s Day than cranking up the new track Uncomplicated from Hey Violet. The band released the angsty new track today. Rena Lovelis comments about the new song, “This song was a way to call out my own distorted thinking in relationships… a sort of reckoning for what I chase and why I chase it. I remember when I was 16 years old and I was dating someone who was just a total sweetheart, and I was bored out of my mind. It really had nothing to do with that person; it was the volatility that Nia and I grew up witnessing that then transgressed into my relationships later on.” “Uncomplicated was initially written by us, our friend Robbie Hiser, and an artist friend for their project, but we ended up loving the song and asked if we could have it for this album. The lyrics really feel like a harsh spotlight on my thinking and we thought it was an important part of the album as a whole. It [Read More]

Our Last Night share European tour dates

February 14, 2024

In October 2023 one of the probably most famous rock cover bands Our Last Night announced their “The Covers Only” tour for North America. The tour starts April 16th, 2024 in Houston, TX at the House Of Blues. A few dates have already sold out. Get your tickets HERE. The band will be joined by Broadside and Normandie. Just a few days ago, the band shared their latest cover of Tate McKae’s “Greedy”. But aside from their amazing cover versions, they also write pretty good songs of their own. Their last original release has been “Losing Game”. The last record the band released was a seven-song EP called “Empires Fall” in 2022. But with a new song out, there’s always a chance of another full-length record. Our Last Night are very “present” on the internet. They never seem to take a time-out, constantly release new covers, and also take out their songs on the road. Almost 2,6 million followers on their youtube channel are proof that they have a huge fanbase and it keeps growing [Read More]
