Pre-Order your Copy of Sumerian Ceremonials – Tribute to Florence and The Machine

April 9, 2014

Sumerian Records is set to release their album, Florence + The Sphinx: Sumerian Ceremonials – A Tribute to Florence + The Machine on May 13, 2014. Sumerian Records founder Ash Avildsen explains more about the tribute album by saying, “To me, Ceremonials by Florence + The Machine is one of the most timeless records to come out in years. The distinctive vocals and melodies, the orchestration and instrumentation, the production, the mood and the lyrics have made me enamored with the album. It is also one of the heaviest records in years to me… Not in the sense of metal and aggressive vocals/guitars/drums, but in how the songs make you feel. The emotional conviction that Florence Welch gives in her delivery combined with the brilliance of Isabella “Machine” Summers and the production of Paul Epworth has made for one of my favorite albums of all time. I wanted to give Sumerian Bands the platform to re-invent these songs and to hopefully bring great music to new ears all over the world who may have otherwise never experienced [Read More]

Top 25 Cover/Remake Songs You have to know!

July 23, 2013

I have always loved cover songs, most specifically cover songs that I end up liking even better than their original.  During many of my my interviews with bands, one of my favorite questions I ask is if they could take a song from any other genre and turn it into their own, what would it be?  I have had some great responses, like Jettblack rockers doing a cover of Tina Turner’s “We Don’t Need Another Hero“, or Wratchchild doing a cover of the Beach Boys, “California Girls” or A Story Beneath doing a cover of the Mamas and the Papas, “California Dreamin“. Those are all remakes that I  hope get made.  What I really like is when an artists takes the original song and completely makes it their own, truly owns it and not just imitates.  Haven’t you ever heard a remake where you are singing the lyrics and then it comes to you, that this is a remake of an old familiar song, just made completely different.  Well here is my list of my [Read More]
