Megosh premiere new music video for Body Works

July 24, 2014

The progressive indie rock band Megosh are premiering a new music video for their song, Body Works. The song is off their new EP of the same name that was released via Revival Recordings and is available on iTunes. The video was directed by Justin Reich and the song (and whole EP) was produced by Shawn Milke guitarist/vocalist for Alesana and owner of Revival Recordings. Check out the song here: “I would love to just sum up the meaning of the song by saying it’s about promiscuous sex, however there’s more to it than that!” says vocalist/guitarist Josh Grosscup. “We’ve all had someone from our past who strayed from the moral path and might have even dragged us down a little with them. In this case, the girl in this story takes advantage of a less promiscuous partner. The song showcases the hesitance and guilt that follows.” Megosh are currently on the “Crash Your Couch Tour” with The Dear Hunter…sort of. The unique concept involves Megosh following The Dear Hunter’s tour around the East coast and Midwest, where [Read More]

From Adventure Time to Make Out Monday, Jeremy Shada (Finn) premiere catchy new song

July 24, 2014

Make Out Monday is a new band compiled of brothers Jeremy and Zack Shada, Logan Charles, John Spicer, and Seth Renken. You might know Jeremy Shada as the voice of Finn from Adventure Time (Cartoon Network) which my oldest son loved and still enjoys watching it with his 7 year old brother. So in this house, everyone is familiar with Finn. It was cool to hear that he formed a band after doing some jam sessions in Los Angeles. What is even more amazing that these five really click together and have a solid sound that is ready to take over the alternative rock – pop punk scene. When you take a listen to their first song, Hope Less Romantic you will be just like me, begging for more new music! Check out the track here: You can pick up the new single on iTunes here. I am really excited about this new band and look forward to what the future holds for these talented young musicians. They are set to perform this Saturday, July 26th at [Read More]

Grab your socks because Dirty Loops is about to blow them off with their new track, Die For You

July 24, 2014

The one thing I really wish more people would do, is love all styles of music. Just like we have our different moods or change our style of clothing, you can also do the same thing with music and enjoy every style and genre of. True musicianship knows no genre lines or boundaries… it is just that good music! I have a Swedish pop band, Dirty Loops that is the perfect example of excellent musicianship and talent in their craft. They are premiering their new song, Die For You that is poptastic and over the top amazing! It has a JT feel yet with hints of be-bop, stellar bridge in the song, catchy chorus, powerful wide ranged vocals, sweet piano solo, bouncy beats and bring back to life the ever so loved harmonizations. Check out the song here and get hooked: The track will be available on their upcoming record, Loopified, out August 19 via Verve Records.

July 23, 2014

It is finally here! The release of the music video by The Hollywood Kills for their bad ass track, I Don’t Walk Straight. The straight up rockin track is off of their MUST HAVE EP, Coming of Age which was released earlier this year. You can read our review of their EP here. As I mentioned before, “The Hollywood Kills new EP, “Coming of Age” should be marketed as the instant mood elevator! Who needs antidepressants when you have an EP filled with 5 songs that will get you out of any funk you could ever be in. I love music that makes you feel so alive and takes you to even a new found level of euphoric bliss.” Check out the video here: The Hollywood Kills may be from Nashville, TN but they mean business with their rock n roll sound sprinkled with punk, pop and even Motown.
