The word prolific barely begins to describe Karsh Kale’s storied career. The British-born, New York City-raised artist of Indian heritage has spent the last two decades zigzagging the world as a producer, multi-instrumentalist, tabla player, drummer, film composer, DJ, collaborator, and solo artist. The culmination of his planetary library can be heard on his fifth studio album for […]

Anyone who’s watched the apocalyptic zombie show The Walking Dead can tell you that it’s anything but uplifting. Now imagine watching it after a break-up and things start to sound downright dreadful. For Nick Loss-Eaton, frontman of Brooklyn band Leland Sundries, it was exactly this scenario that inspired “Apocalypse Love Song”, which we are excited […]

The gritty urban sprawl of Phoenix, Arizona might not be your typical launching pad for a band sporting bluegrass instruments and four part harmonies, but Haymarket Squares aren’t romanticizing nothing. The city with an identity of many a political mishap,  is the ideal locale for a “punkgrass” band that sparks informative lyrics, fast tempos and […]

Austin’s BUHU like many other like minded bands out of that region, play music that embodies experimentalism and artistic integrity: and they’ve pretty much nailed it wth the first single off their debut full length LP Relationshapes.

Dan Stuart is best known as the wild-eyed lead singer of cult […]

Jacksonville based Singer-songwriter Jeremiah Daly might be most familiar to many as the former frontman of acoustic-pop band the Perfect Measure. Courageously he stepped away from the group to do his very own thing in a more folksy, Americana roots style that spoke to him on a more personal level. Daly’s solo debut album, The […]

Back in September, Glide contributor Christian Long had this to say about the new album from indie pop group Superhuman Happiness: “There’s not a lot of bad things to say about Escape Velocity; the crisp, clean production lets the eclectic arrangements alternate between instruments as they move in and out from one another. A precise work of […]

Most music publications have just finished wrapping up 2015 with their year-end “best of” lists. This doesn’t mean we can’t be thinking about next year, and many of us already are since the advances for 2016 releases are already pouring in. I can pretty much promise that one of the standout releases of 2016 will […]

Toronto band Sultans of String have a worldly sound, but it doesn’t seem appropriate to classify it as world music.

Koncept & J57 were weaned on crate digging and local deep cuts, but have always kept one foot in the mainstream. It was this deep immersion into NYC’s hip-hop scene that brought the two together. Lyrically, Koncept delivers intimately biographical rhymes that explore where he’s at now by dissecting his past. His friend and cohort J57 […]

As the term “jamband” has become one of open ended sounds and possibilities, Denver’s Digg relates to the core sole of the genre by keeping guitar, drums and bass at the forefront while never swaying from the temptations of spontaneity and improvisation. Digg started out in Denver, Colorado in 2012 by playing a variety of styles […]
