Pop artist JoLivi proves Love Wins with her new song, Love Who You Wanna Love

November 29, 2016

Pop artist JoLivi has released her  new single, Love Who You Wanna Love.  JoLivi talks about her personal experiences and passion behind the track exclusively with Bust Magazine – read here: http://bust.com/music/18658-jolivi-bust-premiere.html.    This track begins a new conversation for JoLivi, personally and as an artist. “Love who you want to love” is a expression of how I believe everyone should go through life—and that is without judgment,” she told Bust Magazine. “I’ve had friends struggle through times of confusion on their orientation and before my own experience I had always encouraged them to break free and not care about what anyone else will think of them.

Interview with The Fame Riot as they bring nasty beats and truthful melodies to the stage out on their tour!

November 23, 2016

  We recently brought you our coverage of The Fame Riot as they performed in San Francisco along with Radkey at the Neck of the Woods. It was quite a show and what will be a rare treat to catch these amazing bands in an intimate venue setting. I completely believe that it won’t be long that they will be playing large capacity venues as they explode onto the music scene. The Fame Riot features brothers Liz and Shazam. They truly are incredible and dish up “feel good” music that has you dancing and letting go of any concerns or stress. Their music brings out a nostalgic vibe of 70’s glam/rock as well as the infectious style of 90’s alternative/dance, and a heaping side of modern day electro pop. You can’t just box them into any one genre, as they defy the boundaries and have successfully created their own unique style of music, complete with a dazzling fierce fashion style. We had a chance to chat with Liz and Shazam ahead of their performance at the Neck [Read More]
