Check out Brian McShane’s new single, Automatic With You

January 7, 2015

We all have those special people in our lives where we finish eachother’s sentences, or can sit quietly side by side and never feel alone, no awkward pauses or small talk. It is just a relationship that freely flows, completely automatic. Well Brian McShane‘s new single captures those moments and emotion with Automatic With You. It is a colorful vibrant song and reminds me of a mix of Jason Mraz, Matt Nathanson and the fun side of early Barenaked Ladies. Check it out here: [soundcloud url=”https://api.soundcloud.com/tracks/181707112″ params=”auto_play=false&hide_related=false&show_comments=true&show_user=true&show_reposts=false&visual=true” width=”100%” height=”450″ iframe=”true” /] Brian has an inviting voice that carries such honesty and emotion with his song.

He not only continues on with both projects, but he has been pursuing his degree in Early Childhood Education while working full time on A Hero to Fall and Long Lost Love. We congratulate Michael on his new project and really look forward to more music. So take a listen and check out his lyric video for his first song, Gangsta On The Roof from his EP.

Day 4 of 12 Days of Vocalists is for Danny Worsnop

December 18, 2014

Here we are on Day 4 of our 12 Days of Vocalists and for this day, we highlight a very special vocalist, Danny Worsnop of Asking Alexandria, We Are Harlot and solo artist. Danny is one of those of talented artists who can tackle any style of music and completely give it his own signature style. He kicks ass with Asking Alexandria where he can deliver some of the best growls and screams in the industry and then completely rocks when he sings for We Are Harlot. With his solo work, you wouldn’t even believe it is the same person as he takes you through emotionally driven songs with passionate vocals. I don’t think there is anything this man can’t sing and make it sound great. His powerful vocals have been in high demand as he continues to be featured on many bands’ songs. His versatility can have him singing country one day, emotional ballads, hitting some of the highest notes and he can transition right into the deep dark growls and screams. Amazing work!

We caught him in San Francisco at the legendary Fillmore and it was one of the highlights of all our concerts this year. Gerard‘s stage presence is that of a dapper crooner as he took the stages in his fashionable attire and girls literally swoon over him. Gerard has brought to life the Britpop genre into his music and his infectious energy and style just might be the one to revive that genre in the music scene today.
