New Jersey-based Indie-Rock pioneers The Feelies have released their seventh album, Some Kinda Love, their first-ever live album. But even that comes with a twist since the music is not their own, but rather a performance from a retrospective of The Velvet Underground that they were invited to take part in the East Village in […]

Catbells is an artist who introduced her project by releasing the single with a video for “Fade” on Youtube, expanded on that by launching an EP titled Wilderness, and has recently released a debut full album, Partly Cloudy, on vinyl, CD, and digital vai SQFT Records. Her work is introspective, but also expansive in terms […]

Most touring musicians look forward to and cherish their time off from the road as a chance to unwind and revitalize themselves after enduring the rigors of cohabiting in tour buses and hotel rooms for months on end. Fortunately, Daniel Donato is not like most musicians.  Inspired by some sage advice he received from local […]

Roots-influenced artist Jonah Tolchin has traditionally been associated with the Blues but has never made a complete album focused on his biggest formative element until now. His collection Dockside, recently released by his own newly established label, Clover Music Group, was Produced by Luther Dickinson (North Mississippi Allstars) and recorded at the beloved studio of […]

Belgian-born and New Orleans-based singer/songwriter Ghalia Volt recently released her fifth album, Shout Sister Shout!, via Ruf Records. True to form, and as she did with her previous albums, she sought out a unique experience in working with a very specific Producer and in a special studio space.

Gov’t Mule loves to surprise us. I mean, here is one of the preeminent southern blues rock bands and they gave us a big dose of Pink Floyd. On their debut album in 1995, they pulled out an obscure quiet blues scratch by Son House. And they have roared through AC/DC and Zeppelin songs for […]

Benjamin Jayne is releasing his third full-length solo album, Broken, on October 13th, and it’s a project that pushes the boundaries of his previous work in terms of genre elements, song structures, vocal ranges, and even themes. Essentially, the album takes inspiration from confronting oneself in the midst of the life that has built up […]

Roots-Rock artist Adrian Sutherland is building on his solo work by following Juno Award-nominated debut album When The Magic Hits with a new collection called Precious Diamonds. While his first solo album necessitated the building of a studio in his home in the Attawapiskat First Nation of Northern Canada to write and record, for Precious […]

For Emily Kinney, music and acting have always existed side by side. She may always be “Beth Greene from The Walking Dead,” and even gets recognized on dating apps as Beth. Her most prominent role was Beth, but she’s also appeared on Showtime’s Masters of Sex and even guest starred on the CW’s The Flash […]
