The Ivins shine in the spotlight with their new video for Stockholm Syndrome

February 17, 2016

Get ready to catch alternative rockers The Ivins in the spotlight with their new video. The Ivins features brothers Jack and Jim Ivins from Richmond, VA. They have just released a music video for their infectious new track Stockholm Syndrome. It is great to see a band put so much energy and attention in to their music and the passion these guys carry shines through with their sound. We applaud them for bringing us something new in this usually over-saturated market.  Jim told us a bit more about the new track, “As for the inspiration behind it, Jack and I both know how ADD the 2016 music listener is and know that immediacy is the name of the game so we wanted a song that just blasts off right from the top to get your attention. In a larger musical sense, however, the inspiration came from our quest as real musicians/songwriters playing in a genre that is completely in the outs with mainstream culture: How do you recontextualize something unpopular and present it to someone in a way that makes them compelled [Read More]

Our Spotlight Band is CREEPER and check out their new video!

January 28, 2016

For our spotlight band I would like to feature goth punks CREEPER as they are set to release their new EP The Stranger on February 19th. They were recently added to Radio 1’s In New Music We Trust List yesterday, they build towards its release by unveiling the video for ‘Black Mass’. Vocalist Will Gould comments about the video: “The concept behind the video is a dream that our EP’s cover character named Madeline is experiencing. She’s in the middle of an episode of sleep psychosis with the band performing to her in her dream. She awakes to find herself in her bedroom. The song’s lyrics are written from the perspective of the character of The Stranger, the heartbroken monster who is the EP’s namesake. They’re partly inspired by recounts of sleep paralysis, where sufferers describe seeing a ‘black matter’ or ‘black mass’ haunting them in their rooms at night, while they lie paralysed in bed.” Check out their video for their bad ass new track,  Black Mass:  I love the fresh new sound that CREEPER brings out but [Read More]
