ARTIST SPOTLIGHT: Kyle Rising shines with performance at The Independent SF

October 24, 2023

One of our favorite sets of the year was not at a large festival, stadium venue, world tour events. It was at the intimate venue The Independent in San Francisco last week.  We were heading out to cover BabyJake on the SF tour stop and were happy to see that Kyle Rising was an opener.   We watched several of his Doors covers via Instagram and couldn’t help but be in awe of his uncanny resemblance to Jim Morrison and the amazing vocals to match.  One thing is certain, although you might have been introduced to Kyle through his Doors covers, it is his own style and songs that will keep you a longtime fan.  His music and vibe brings a nostalgic nod to the 70’s, all while his alluring voice delivers pure perfection with rich tones that hold you captivated. Check out his latest song, Honeydew which has a permanent spot on our daily playlist.   Kyle’s live performance highlights his passion and impressive stage performance. He not only has a striking voice but [Read More]

Check out the new track California Letdown from Teddy Cosmo

October 23, 2023

  Some people are annoyed with the suggested posts as they are mindlessly scrolling through Instagram, but today, that is not me.  I saw a snippet of a song and immediately had to find out who it was and how to get the track. The song was called California Letdown and it was a new release from Teddy Cosmo. I had to find out more. It states the following on the profile: Teddy Cosmo musician, producer, podcaster, ♿cerebral palsy, wheelchair user, Berklee College of Music and from NYC. The song is amazing, the vocals remind me of a young Morrissey but with a modern production that captures the depth and tones of the emotions. Check out the track on Spotify here or take a listen below: As I delved deeper, I found his EP Ouchie and it is an alternative indie gem!  Check out the track Distant Stars and tell me how you can’t get hooked on it. The vulnerable raw emotion grabs a hold of you, all the while taking you on a musical [Read More]

Hall stuck in a black hole as he croons these haunting lyrics “At best I’m but a blur, if you remember me at all. Fuzzy memories playing on your basement VCR. Found the final payphone, dropped my change and made the call. Picked up – whispered last room on the left. End of the hall.” Matt Katz-Bohen comments, “‘BLUR’ opens with a classic Juno-106 synth drone, evoking the early 80’s, flirting with [Read More]

Get electrified with Norway rockers new track Flicking the Bees

June 22, 2023

  Electric High hailing from Bergen, Norway are a blend of alternative rock and hard rock with a burst of old style rock n roll. They have released their new single, Flicking the Bees. About the track This swaggering rock ’n’ stroller came out of the usual collab between Electric High’s most active songwriters, PV Staff and Marius Mørch. The idea was to create an Electric High song that would stand in contrast to the band’s many more upbeat past releases. The band collectively tapped into the idea and created a track that builds in intensity throughout, from a pretty light-headed, easy-going start, to ending in a quite frantic vibe, with the characteristic screaming from the two lead singers, PV Staff and Olav Iversen. The lyrics pretty much bring across the message that if your keep on flicking the bees, they will eventually get back at you and sting you fiercely. It’s gonna hurt. So don’t act stupid. Stop wasting time on silly stuff. Do good. Be cool. And you’ll be alright. Flicking the Bees was [Read More]
