Smile Empty Soul releases new song and video for Savior

June 7, 2024

So excited to share that Smile Empty Soul have just released a new song, Savior. Their music crosses from hard rock to alt rock and is always one on our playlists! The new song is off their upcoming EP Swan Song which is scheduled for release at the end of the year through TLG|ZOID / Virgin Music Group. The new song “Savior” addresses the challenging state of contemporary society, as explained by the band’s frontman, Sean Danielsen. “I feel like people have grown cold to each other and selfishness has stepped up as the primary mentality,” Danielsen reflects. The song’s poignant lyrics and gripping melody are a testament to the band’s signature sound and their ability to tackle relevant themes through their music. Check out the new song and watch the video here: Smile” has become known for its constant touring and never wavering honest sound/lyrics. They’ve never changed for anybody, and turned down many opportunities to “sell out” because it’s not who they are. With a new album, and just as much drive as they had starting [Read More]

Ida Mae releases new single, Tomorrow’s Just Too Far

June 7, 2024

British duo Ida Mae have just released their new single, Tomorrow’s Just Too Far. The new single was co-produced by Bob Mackenzie and Ida Mae’s Chris Turpin and features bassist Nick Pini (Laura Marling, Tom Jones) and drummer Mikey Sorbello. Chris Turpin comments, “This is a ‘get out and run’ song. I wanted it to have the guttural voice of an old country blues song, the yodel of an old Guthrie or Rodger’s tune, tied up in the vernacular or an old English folk ballad. Picking up these threads I wrote it late at night in streams of consciousness on my Steel National Resonator Guitar. It was written at an incredibly important moment.
