Memory In Plant is a band from Tel Aviv, Israel and they are gearing up for the release of their new EP An Epic Triumph. Their music ranges from eclectic psychedelic rock into alternative waves of experimental and progressive sounds. They have created depth through their song within layers of musical fusion. Imagine if you will, what your mind sounds like as it is cycling through your thoughts, racing around from one subject to the next, still with one common thread trying to hold it together.That is what their music recreates for me and it is quite unique and wildly inviting. Memory In Plant is Yehiel Hamou, Chen Firsel and Imri Cohen. Take a listen to their new song, Shame On Me here: Stay tuned for their new EP which is set for a release this month.

Time to put the spotlight on Grey for some new hard rock!

August 2, 2014

The other day I heard someone at a concert talking about how they couldn’t find any new music that is good. I instantly remembered a quote from Leon of Ragdoll during one of our interviews as he said, “If you can’t find new music, then you’re the problem”. That is so true because with all the different ways to listen to music, there should never be a reason that you can’t find a new band to check out. Also listen to people when they recommend a band, actually take the time and check them out. If you don’t, you just might be missing what could be your new favorite band. Perfect example, earlier this week, I received a message from a music lover named Jenna on our Music Junkie Press Facebook page with a recommendation to check out a new band. I am grateful to the recommendation because you know what? I LOVE THEM!!! The band she told me about is Grey and they are an alternative rock/metal band that really deserve to be in the spotlight.

August 2, 2014

Wayland have been getting a lot of attention for their fun new party anthem song, Get a Little. The song starts right off with the sweetest Southern Rock style that just grabs a hold of you. The vocals are powerful and inviting as you find yourself singing along to the catchiest chorus.
