The Cerny Brothers premiere new song, The Kid off their upcoming album; Sleeping Giant

May 5, 2015

The Cerny Brothers have successfully created a new sound for their music which originally was acoustic, folk elements to a more electric rock style. All the while, they have captured their folk spirit as it fits so well with their new music. They are premiering a new song, The Kid which is off their upcoming album, Sleeping Giant. Robert Cerny explains about the song, “This is a song about remembering who you are, how you grew up and what you were taught, and not losing sight of that in a different place with different people. It’s also about the strange notion of struggle, and that a lot of people don’t like to confront it, especially in a professional sense. I felt like as a band we were supposed to go to meetings with people who wanted to work with us, look nice and pretend that the journey that got us in a that business meeting in the first place was easy. But it was hard. It all wraps up in the idea that I came [Read More]

August 20, 2014

Jesse Denaro has announced a US Fall Tour in support of his new album, Dear Love. The tour will also feature Animal Flag. Singer/Songwriter Jesse has done a wonderful job at creating an album full of emotionally driven lyrics, songs that connect the listener and engages them on his musical journey. It is quite a superb journey to be a passenger on as you will experience the ups and downs of life, love and loss. I can only imagine how wonderful it will be to experience the music live. Jesse posted the following about the tour: Hey Guys! This fall I am embarking on my first ever full US tour! I am going out with my best friend Animal Flag and we are supporting both of our new albums (“Dear, Love” & his upcoming self titled EP coming this Fall). Touring takes a lot of time, preparation and money, so if you have a spare dollar or two head over to iTunes, band camp or whatever and pick up “Dear, Love” or any older releases from Matt.
