July 6, 2015

Indie rockers Redlands from Denver, Colorado will once again capture your attention with their new track, Big Talk. The song is off their upcoming EP, Adventurer which is set for a July 14th release. Check out the new song here:   They have several upcoming dates as well as a chance to play on the Denver, Colorado Vans Warped Tour Date. You can vote for them here: http://warped.battleofthebands.com/u/weareredlands. Vocalist Ben comments,  “I think fans will be surprised with the direction of this new album. With hints of multiple genres in our last EP from heavy Rock ’n’ Roll riffs to sing along Country rock songs, I think creating something different from that was the main idea for any kind of follow up release. It’s definitely more of an indie pop rock album compared to the last set of songs, but who wants to hear the same songs twice? It’s fun to change it up and try new things”.  Check the dates below and get yourself to a show: Jul 09       Albuquerque, NM        Duke City Sound [Read More]

May 28, 2015

Austin based indie roots/pop band First Year on Earth are premiering their new song, Georgia which is off their upcoming self titled EP, set for release on June 25th. The song creates a snapshot of the splendor that is called love. Frontman Ryan Murphy comments on the meaning of the song as, “Georgia” came from my year living in New York City. I met a girl.
