We recently told you the exciting news about Framing Hanley and how they are set to release their new album, The Sum of Who We on April 29th on their new label Imagen Records.  This will be Framing Hanley‘s third CD and the first in 4 years. Frontman Nixon explains, “There was definitely a dark period during the 2 years we spent recording this.That’s not to say this album is some dark and brooding album. There are definitely some light-hearted tunes on here as well; some that are fun. This album is the past 2 years of our lives and is every part of our beings…that’s what the title means. This album really is the sum of who we are. The thing that I love most is, I think when the listener puts on those headphones, or puts the cd in the car, he or she is gonna listen and come to find out, hey, me and this guy have got some things in common!” This album is said to be the bands boldest artistic statement to date capturing the essence of [Read More]

DORYDRIVE’s new album Here’s To You is addictive!!

April 7, 2014

I have to share a secret with you…. I am addicted to the new album “Here’s To You” by DoryDrive and I mean addicted!  DoryDrive is an alternative rock/ pop rock band from Nashville and they have released their full length album earlier this year. It is definitely making an impact. DoryDrive is Mathieu Nevitt on Vocals, Tom LaBrosse on Guitar, Henry Koller on Guitar, Nick Mendini on Bass and Joey Zak on Drums. As soon as you take a first listen, starting with Radiate you can’t help but be captivated by the infectious vocals of Mathieu Nevitt. He almost reminds me of my fave vocalist, Myles Kennedy. It is awesome to hear fresh new music that immediately grabs your attention and then continues on with the next song.  Paramour has emotionally driven lyrics that ring through passionate vocals and catchy melodic hooks. This band definitely delivers a complete package and holds nothing back in their delivery. Here’s To You has a sweet seductive intro that builds into a rockin song. It is probably my most favorite song, but honestly every song [Read More]

Love Crushed Velvet release new video for their song “Bye, Bye, Baby”

April 3, 2014

Love Crushed Velvet from New York City have released their new video for their song, “Bye, Bye, Baby”. The track was originally released on Love Crushed Velvet’s compelling new EP Delusions in September, mixed by Mark Needham (Blondie, Fleetwood Mac, The Killers). Lead singer/songwriterA.L.X. explains more about the song, “After having spent time getting close to someone and developing a deep bond with them, it can feel very confusing when things start to fall apart.  It makes you question whether you every really knew the person at all, or whether they just showed you one side of themselves.  The reality, of course, is that there are usually underlying issues or conflicts that we often don’t take properly into account early on in the relationship, and we later pay a steep emotional price for this when that reality comes back to bite us.”  Check out the video here: [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=miq3K5Ok6Z0&feature=youtu.be]     That song is so awesome. I love the sultry emotionally driven vocals in this melodic rock track. This is the second single off of Delusions which really captures a dark melodic rock [Read More]
