PREMIERES

“It’s hotter than hell, but don’t it make for a sunset” begins Orchid South, the third album by acclaimed Memphis singer-songwriter Chris Milam. Introducing a lush, bold rock and roll record full of extremes—the highs and lows of adolescence—Milam sets a stage of looming disaster and irrepressible beauty. This is Milam’s teenage wasteland: it’s the […]

Up-and-coming Americana artist Evan Boyer is not a polished, perfect singer-songwriter plucked from a glossy magazine page: He’s the genuine article, making relatable music from the raw edges of his own flawed existence. Boyer’s compelling, country-leaning Americana is organic and down-to-earth, laced with laid-back narratives in the vein of folk icons Jason Isbell and Tom […]

Jayce Turley has the stories of someone twice his age. The 19-year-old Greenup County, Kentucky, native has already been entrenched in his state’s storied music scene for years. Turley attended his first concert at the age of two and estimates that he’d been to hundreds of shows by the time he hit double digits. He […]

“Hi, I’m Jared Deck and I represent the people of Oklahoma’s 44th District,” reads the singer-songwriter with the mighty vocal prowess on the State of Oklahoma gov. website. Yes, that’s right, the Democratic State Represenative has got something to say beyond the dome halls of Oklahoma City. Beyond The Sooner State, perhaps Deck needs to […]

Singer-songwriter Meli Levi has recently returned to music after a transformative 5-year hiatus away, studying meditation-based healing techniques with a master full-time. Today, she writes with a reverence for the transformative capabilities of music. “A song can recall a powerful memory or inspire someone to forgive a person they’ve been upset at—music has that power—and […]

The cathartic opening resonant guitar chords of Rachel Ana Dobken’s new song “Tomorrow’s Another Day” sounds mystically like a familiar Pearl Jam song from the early 90’s. Where Stone Gossard would lay the quiet intro and Eddie Vedder would creep in with some emotive howls that would transcend listeners. While drums are Dobken’s primary instrument, […]

For Brian K & The Parkway their time is now, resolute on making their voices heard with the release of their debut album Killing The Bear. “It’s like a mission statement for our band,” says Pagels. “We’re dreamers AND doers. We’re visualizing the future we want and then seizing it with hard work and courage. […]

Handsome Jack, the gritty rock trio hailing from Lockport, NY, will be releasing their latest studio album, A Good Thing, on March 1st (PRE-ORDER). These 11 tracks embody the band’s evolution over the last 10 years and showcases their distinctive blend of swampy blues, boogie-infused rock, and deep soul, evoking the golden age of rock-n-roll […]

Boone Johnson and Michael Swanson met while doing trail work in Eugene, Oregon. The two quickly bonded over music, realizing they were both guitarists, and proceeded to write their first song together shortly after. The song was called “Moon and Bike” – a play on both of their names. Twenty-five years and a variety of […]

HOW???, a co-creation of musicians Alex Tebeleff and Matthew Dowling, picks up the pieces of a longstanding East Coast project, deeply rooted in DIY culture. That project, Paperhaus, was both a shape-shifting musical collective which toured extensively, AND a beloved DIY space which feverishly hosted touring acts from around the globe. The band is inspired […]

Songwriter/guitarist/vocalist Jenner Fox has recorded pastoral lo-fi folk in the realm of Bonnie Prince Billy and Bill Callahan for years now, yet while he has yet to be nabbed by the prestigious Drag City label- perhaps his new album The Moon That Moves The Sea (due out 2/23/24) with fellow creative voice Jeremy Elliott shall […]

Of all the tags and musical descriptions, we come across here at Glide, perhaps the most animated and well-described is “cinematic psych-country duo”. Take what you want from it, but I think that surely warrants a listen and takes you down the road of where The Cramps and The Meat Puppets jam with Gram Parsons […]

Much like a lot of cities in the Southern U.S., Austin, Texas has gone through some major changes. At the moment, it feels like the city is slowly turning into Nashville’s cousin with bachelorette parties and post-college grads flocking to the up-and-coming city in hopes of getting closer to whatever dream is in their head. […]

There are very few artists in the modern age that are carrying on a true renaissance. The idea of a renaissance man has taken on a new meaning thanks to the wide range of knowledge and tools readily available at our fingertips, it feels like anyone and everyone can lay claim to the title. Very […]

Jake Sheppard is a musician, filmmaker, and ex-scientist from Colorado, currently based in Los Angeles, California. Before his pivot, he worked as a cancer geneticist, but he left the lab to go to art school, a move that is still hotly debated over holiday dinners at his parents’ house. Midwest Marlin (due out out March […]

Few poets follow their own arrow as devotedly as Tim Easton, whose songwriting career has woven in and out of folk music and rock ‘n’ roll (and Americana before it was really called that), of erstwhile bands and solo songwriting, of his birthplace of America and all the other places he’s called home. Whether surviving […]

When The Eyebrows couldn’t firm up scheduling at their favorite studio, the studio’s owner and in-house producer—longtime producer and trusted friend Mitch Easter (REM, Let’s Active)—suggested they try recording themselves. The Charlotte, North Carolina-based rock n’ roll band did just that, and they still found time to record with Mitch at Fidelitorium Studio in Kernersville, NC. The resulting album, Double […]

After six years of tireless creativity and countless chances to rearrange and reshape these songs, West Coast folk duo Misner & Smith are finally ready to share this creation with the world. All Is Song is the brand new album from the band set to be released on April 12. This album has gone through […]

Caitlin Cannon’s upcoming release, Beggar, a four-song EP set to debut on April 5th as a standalone precursor to her forthcoming full-length album Love Addict, is all songwriting chops and vibe. With cinematic soundscapes, nostalgic atmospheres, and words that are a testament to the enduring power of storytelling at their center, Cannon is evolving beyond […]

Laney Jones and the Spirits have big f*cking heart. It’s undeniable watching Jones, who usuallyperforms live as a trio on her gnarly 1960s Sears Roebuck Silvertone guitar with her life andmusical partner (Brian Dowd) holding the heartbeat on the drums. They’re “everything that’sgood about rock and roll” says GRAMMY-winning icon Lucinda Williams. And like Williams, […]
