Q&A with ABIR
Her debut EP, MINT, was just recently released, with stellar tracks like “Young and Rude” to the super-relatable “For Ya,” ABIR has only shown us inklings of what she’s capable of so far.
Lostboycrow’s Music is No “Waste of Time”
I discovered Lost Boy Crow’s music sometime last year, and I’m still confused as to why he isn’t a household name yet, ‘cause his tracks are all super jams. With his debut full-length album “Santa Fe” set to release in early 2019, we’re hoping he’ll somehow keep his air of mystery, yet also get into the ears of literally everyone in the world everywhere.
TRACK PREMIERE: COLSON “GUMMY BEARS”
Just at the tale end of Halloween, when you’re still sorting through your “good” candy vs. your “bad” candy, electro-pop singer songstress Colson brings us a tasty-pop track with the synthy-sweetness that’ll make your heart sing right along with her, “Eating Gummy Bears for dinner.”
LIVE REVIEW: CAPTAIN CUTS AT EMO NITE DAY 2018
Captain Cuts is two things, 1) The Music Industry’s best kept secret and 2) three of the silliest dudes in existence. I’ve covered these guys before, and I can’t really understand why they aren’t a household name yet since their level of producing knowledge seems to far exceed anything I’ve heard lately. Plus, how must it feel to walk around in the world saying you wrote “Shut Up and Dance With Me?” — Arguably one of the most successful pop songs of the past five years, so successful I can’t even form a proper-sounding sentence as to how many times platinum this song has gone…

TRACK PREMIERE: SMALLPOOLS “SOCIAL”
Smallpools first came onto the scene with “Dreaming,” which has now gone RIAA Certified Gold, which surged to the top of the Hype Machine chart; quickly earning the band support from alternative radio stations across the country. Their older songs including faves like “Million Bucks” will make you think they are surely in the category of Alt Rock — however, listen to the newer songs and you might think otherwise…

LIVE REVIEW: MY BROTHERS AND I @ THE PEPPERMINT CLUB
Straight off the release of their EP Heartbeat, the band toured down the west coast from dates in Seattle through Los Angeles. The tour concluded with a special show at Hollywood’s The Peppermint Club in company with their tour mate Dylan Dunlap and his band.
VIDEO PREMIERE: A R I Z O N A “WHAT SHE WANTS”
Last month they released the double single, “Summer Days” along with “Freaking Out,” which dominated the viral charts and drilled its’ way down into people’s ears and into their hearts. This time, the guys are returning with a stellar visual to match the 80’s vibes of yet another earworm banger, “What She Wants,” a major throwback to the amazing 1983 dance film, “Flashdance,” featuring dancer Jessica Castro who has danced with Beyonce, Janet Jackson, Black Eyed Peas and appeared on TV shows like Glee and all the cool things!
VIDEO PREMIERE: TT THE ARTIST “PAYROLL” FT. STARRZ
Her name may not be a household one just yet — but TT The Artist has been here this whole time as our actual queen of Hip hop.
TRACK PREMIERE: SAM SETTON “WINE”
The song features next-level production, swiftly taking us into a post-skrillex era of electronic production that combines melodic songwriting with big hooks and big drops. His crooner-esque voice is so smooth, it’s likely what modern-day Timberlake wishes he could sound like — sorry, JT.
