SUMMARY:SLOAN
DESCRIPTION:\n \n\n\nSloan is four distinct songwriting voices — guitarists Patrick Pentland and Jay Ferguson\, bassist Chris Murphy and drummer Andrew Scott — that nonetheless form a cohesive collective. Long-time Toronto scenesters who will always call Halifax home. \nMuchmusic and rock-radio regulars who — via their own murderecords label — maintain strong ties to their indie roots. Money-city maniacs who have a soft spot for sweet sugar tunes. Music vets who\, instead of coasting on their cred\, continue to challenge themselves with each record. \n\n\n\n

SUMMARY:BLISTUR
DESCRIPTION:Blistur has been described as “the love child of Tool\, Metallica\, Pink Floyd and Rush.”\nThe band members describe composing a song like looking at a giant palette of colors to choose from. The best ones come naturally without thinking too much on how to fit the lyrics into the mood of the song be it comical\, dark\, moody\, angry\, happy or inspirational.\nLife is comprised of many emotions. No one is in the same mood every day\, so why be tied down to one sound? Let’s just make a great song! \nThe Almas are an all American touring hard rock band from New Munster\, Wisconsin. They impart the truest essence of Rock n’ Roll through guitar driven licks\, road dog attitudes\, and a high energy\, professional live performance! Their music has a very large and refreshingly organic sound that follows in the many traditions of the yester-year of Rock N Roll. They jokingly describe themselves as a hard rock version of Fleetwood Mac\, just dirtier. The Almas are touring the US in support of their debut album “Back To Bad” to bring the new wave of Rock n’ Roll entertainment to your city. \n

SUMMARY:PASSAFIRE / BUMPIN UGLIES
DESCRIPTION:On Passafire’s sixth studio release\, Longshot\, the Savannah\, GA based rock outfit gives a testimony to following dreams\, inspired by people\, places\, and experiences Passafire has shared since forming as a band. The group’s four members continue chasing their passion despite being told many times that “Making it as a musician is a long-shot\,” a piece of advice that inspired this album and its title. Longshot takes its listeners through a full spectrum of emotions\, telling stories of heartbreak\, new beginnings\, overcoming personal struggles\, finding truths\, discovering new places\, and getting older\, all weaved into Passafire’s genre-defying mix of reggae\, hard rock\, hip hop\, and anything else that turns the group on musically. \n  \nPassafire was formed in Savannah\, GA\, in 2003 by Ted Bowne and Nick Kubley\, and have built a strong reputation within the U.S. reggae scene through relentless touring with fellow band members Mike DeGuzman and Will Kubley. Bowne doesn’t mind the grueling schedule and adds\, “Touring is the best way to keep the buzz about the band going. What keeps it fun and exciting is the people we meet and places we get to see. We are in a new city every day so there’s always something to go see or do.” They continue to be a larger part of the U.S. reggae scene\, even though musically they are often far apart from many of their peers in the genre\, with a growing emphasis on alternative and progressive rock elements within their songs. \n  \nBumpin Uglies spawned from an Annapolis\, MD scene awash in musical history over a decade ago. They are rooted in East Coast ska\, punk\, and reggae\, making their mark up and down the Eastern Seaboard. In the past ten years\, Bumpin Uglies have worked to carve out their path by relentlessly touring\, and releasing one album after another. With each release came more focus\, more creativity and more desire to always experiment and try new things with their music. The band is psyched for their latest EP\, Buzz\, which released on March 22 via Ineffable Music Group based in Oakland\, CA. Ineffable is a name synonymous with the likes of Collie Buddz\, Stick Figure\, The Movement\, and many other prominent artists. \n  \nTheir last album\, Beast From The East\, is proof positive that Brandon\, Wolfie\, Chad and T.J. have meshed into a dynamic quartet as the album topped reggae charts\, drawing interest from Billboard’s editorial team for their debut in the pole position. With fellow Maryland rocker Howi Spangler of Ballyhoo! working on the production\, the alchemy was right for their breakthrough release\, so naturally they are keeping that intact with their current album\, Buzz\, while continuing the trend of evolving their sound\, always experimenting in bold ways that keeps everything fresh from beginning to end.  \n  \nTheir climb hasn’t always been easy and as Bumpin Uglies have grinded their way to their current place in the music scene\, they’ve shown that hard work pays off and by putting your heart and soul into it and by taking risks\, you can achieve great things. It’s why they’ve springboarded from The Whiskey in Annapolis (RIP) to slots at major festivals like Firefly\, Peachfest\, and Reggae Rise Up\, and are selling out several markets around the nation. Bumpin Uglies are also proud to have announced their own Headlining Festival\, Weekend at Wolfie’s\, set for June 13-15\, 2019 in Bedford\, PA.   \n  \nAs a band they are clearly intent on doing things their own way\, it’s how it’s always been done.  This philosophy has grown Bumpin Uglies into a prolific music-making beast\, has devoted fans tattooing Brandon Hardesty’s poignant lyrics on their bodies and has them growing into a nationally recognized touring headliner. Bumpin Uglies is on fire with no end in site.  \n  \nWho is Bumpin Uglies? \nBrandon Hardesty – Vocals\, Guitar \nDave Wolf – Vocals\, Bass \nTJ Haslett – Drums \nChad Wright – Vocals\, Keys\, Guitar \n  \n

SUMMARY:THAT ONE GUY
DESCRIPTION:With an extensive and amazing track record of unique and imaginative performances featuring his curious instrument and copious amounts of originality\, Mike Silverman\, a/k/a That1Guy\, has set himself apart as a true one-of-a-kind talent that rivals any other artist currently in the entertainment industry. Averaging 150-200 shows a year all over North America and Canada\, he has been a consistent favorite at such festivals as: Wakarusa\, Electric Forest\, Big Day out\, All Good Music Festival\, Bella\, High Sierra Music Festival\, Summer Meltdown\, Montreal Jazz Festival\, and many more. He was also the ʻTap Water Award’ winner at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival for best musical act. His legendary collaboration and multiple tours with Buckethead performing as The Frankenstein Brothers has further cemented his virtuoso story as a creative visionary.  \nHis innovation continues to soar with his latest tour\, That1Guy & The Magic Pipe Present: An Evening of Musical Magical Wonder… The Likes of Which Ye Haven’t Yet Seen\, which kicked off in 2014. Along with his pioneering main instrument\, The Magic Pipe\, a monstrosity of metal\, strings\, and electronics\, he facilitates the dynamic live creation of music and magic in ways only That1Guy can conjure. You can also expect to see magic seamlessly integrated into the already clever performance. With the addition of magic in his live shows\, he has legitimately achieved an all-inclusive audio/visual performance unlike anything experienced before. “So much of my music has miraculous qualities to it because it’s hard to tell what’s going on. There are lots of slights of hand and sonic misdirection. It feels like I was meant to do magic”.  \nSilverman’s back-story is similar to many musicians that have come before him. He grew up a self-proclaimed music geek\, soaked in the influence of his jazz musician father\, and enrolled in San Francisco Conservatory of Music before joining the local jazz scene himself as a sought-after percussive bassist. This is where the similarities end though and where That1Guy truly began. “In my case\, being a bass player\, I just felt very restricted by the instrument itself\,” he says. “I’ve always wanted to sound different and have my own sound. I was headed that way on the bass\, but for me to fully realize what I was hearing in my head sonically I was going to have to do it my way”. His influential and innovative double bass style eventually evolved into what we see today as That1Guy and The Magic Pipe.  \nAs his story continues to develop\, Billboard has famously noted\, “In the case of Mike Silverman’s slamming\, futuristic funk act… the normal rules of biology just don’t apply.” In addition\, Silverman also has new music and videos in the works for 2015 that will further validate his status as an industry trailblazer. “I like being my own person”\, he says. “I didn’t set out to be a weirdo\, but I’m starting to embrace it”. Ultimately\, his motivation can be encapsulated as this: “Human beings do our best work when we’re challenged and pushed up against the wall”. That1Guy goes on to further explain\, “By nature\, we’re hunters and gatherers\, spending each day looking  \nfor their next meal. It’s easy to be lazy when you don’t have to come up with something creative right away.”  \n  \n

SUMMARY:MIKE PINTO
DESCRIPTION:Mike Pinto has crafted an exceptional style of songwriting\, with a truly unique take on Roots\, Vintage Rock\, Reggae\, Ska and Classic Surf\, but it’s his distinctvoice and seamless storytelling that has brought him success both in the United States and overseas. \nWith the release of his debut album (Little District\, 2005)\, Pinto began his attack on the Philadelphia music scene as a solo artist. By 2006\, underground success and a fervent\, exploding fan base empowered him to expand westward with two nationwide solo acoustic tours. After the second tour Pinto relocated to San Diego\, where he immersed himself in the thriving Southern California music scene and quickly gained notoriety. His infectious sound garnered so much attention that Insomnia Radio included his single “One More Time” on a hard hitting compilation of the SoCal sound’s brightest groups\, including DI and Slightly Stoopid. In very short order\, Mike Pinto transitioned from a kid from Philly playing acoustic in coffee houses and tiny bars to a prominent fixture on the SoCal music scene. \nIt was precisely the sardonic\, Philly-bred mentality\, which distinguished Mike Pinto amongst his musical peers in sun-drenched Southern California indie music scene. Philadelphia is known as a tough city which churns out tough-minded\, skeptical people; this influence is clear in Pinto’s lyrics. Pinto doesn’t just write about the bliss of new love or tired clichés found littered throughout the songs of many of his musical peers. His lyrics can spin dark tales populated with characters who have sold their souls (“Tricky Nicky”)\, or been left flailing and stripped by the terrible toll exacted by addiction (“Bad Luck”). Though he writes and performs mainly reggae and ska\, the words “Babylon” and “Rastafari” are not invoked on a routine basis\, nor does Mike employ an adopted Jamaican accent or sing in patois. Mike Pinto writes music that is true to his experience\, never making room on his tracks for pretense or posturing. \nPinto’s music quickly caught the tradewinds from the mainland to Hawaii\, getting regular airplay by top radio personality Shaggy Jenkins. Pinto also consistently tops the charts in Guam\, where his music is an island favorite\, and has placed songs on several Japanese compilations. and Japan. Following suit\, Pinto has sold out shows in Guam\, Big Island\, Maui and Oahu\, which left countless\, frenzied new fans sprouted by the thousands in his wake. \nIn late 2007\, Pinto teamed up with professional skateboarder and legendary Drummer/Producer Chuck Treece (Pearl Jam\, G Love\, Bad Brains\, McRad) and released his most accomplished album to that point. With Treece lending his knack for producing and playing a number of the instruments on the album\, Pinto’s self-titled album has sold tens of thousands of copies worldwide. The album gained so much attention that Pinto was urged to follow it up with an entirely acoustic version of it\, which was released in 2008. \nPinto’s live shows draw fans from a diverse cross section of genres\, thanks to his ability to play anything from horn-infused ska to punk-tinged rock and beyond\, or his own unique brand of reggae classic covers delivered with near perfection. \nIn 2011\, Pinto released The West is Still Wild\, a six track EP that served to satiate his now-global following until Pinto felt a full-length effort was feasible. Pinto toured in support of The West is Still Wild\, and was received by noticeably larger crowds as those on previous tours. His music and name started spreading noticeably via word-of-mouth and social networking as well\, the public started taking notice of who Mike Pinto is and why his music is worth discovering. \nPinto’s new album\, Truthful Lies\, has received high praise in early reviews. It features a deep lineup of special guests\, including: Chuck Treece\, George Laks \, Max O’Leary\, Eric Hirschhorn \, John Browne\, Todd Elrod\, Lew Richards\, Jesse Wagner \, Roger Rivas\, Junior Marvin\, Don Carter and Jon Cestero \n \n

SUMMARY:ROCKSTEAD
DESCRIPTION:The feeling of love. The power of unity. The essence of happiness. The strength of togetherness and positive vibrations. The highs of living life and the lows of dealing with its obstacles. All of these things encapsulate the music of Cincinnati\, OH-based Rockstead\, a four-piece\, passion driven rock/reggae group. \nWith roots leading as far back as middle school\, Rockstead combines a lifetime full of influences ranging from rock\, punk\, reggae\, jam and even metal. In their early days Rockstead ruled the college party scene in Ohio with a schedule full of impromptu house shows that led to packed\, sweaty basements of DIY venues and later\, massive crowds attending college fests such as Ohio University’s infamous spring festivals. This early success catalyzed the debut of their first album “Wake Up and Live” (2013) shortly followed by their popular “Rise” EP (2014). These releases ignited their inner road warrior leading to a plethora of plays at music festivals and concert venues across the Midwest. Since then Rockstead continues to widen their reach with an added 2017 tour through Florida. \nThough member changes have occurred over the years\, front man singer/guitarist Jake Burns continues to drive the group forward as they have shared stages with international acts such as The Wailers (Jamaica) and Sticky Fingers (Australia) as well as many staple East coast reggae acts like Giant Panda Guerilla Dub Squad and Roots of Creation. With a healthy gap since their last release (Homegrown\, 2016) new music looms close on the horizon. By using their relentless high-energy performances and genre-bending set lists while aligning their unwavering dedication to the do-it-yourself work ethic\, Rockstead shows no sign of slowing down their mission of bringing people together through music. \n

SUMMARY:PRIDELESS CD Release Party
DESCRIPTION:It all started with Ian logue\, Lead singer and guitarist. He wanted to start a band\, but not just any band\, he wanted a band to call his own\, a band for him to have pride in. Well\, that ended up being a terrible failure. Broken\, beaten\, and scarred\, Ian instead started a band with some friends of his\, and that ended up being much better. Prideless was born\, and soon had quite a following…of about 30 people. As their fame grew\, the original members drifted apart\, eventually. Ian was crushed\, beaten down\, but he was not out. Through the ashes of his old band a blazing phoenix arose. It was a match foreseen by the Gods of Rock\, and it was good. With Ian’s energy and leadership\, Lee’s Bitchin bass lines and Daniel’s death defying drums beats\, They now write kick ass songs while having fun being awesome with their silly shenanigans and dick jokes. \n

SUMMARY:MOONCHILD
DESCRIPTION:Moonchild is a combination of three independent\, strong-willed spirits—Amber Navran [vocals\, tenor saxophone\, flute\, keyboards\, synth bass\, drum programming]\, Andris Mattson [trumpet\, flugelhorn\, keyboards\, synth bass\, guitar\, drum programming]\, and Max Bryk [alto saxophone\, clarinet\, keyboards\, synth bass\, drum programming]. The resulting union yields an ever-evolving fusion of alternative R&B and neo-soul. For as singular as each personality may be\, they all participate equally in writing\, producing\, tracking\, and mixing their records\, collaborating as true equal partners. Not only do they create as a unit\, but they also evolve\, grow\, and transform as one.\n“Our chemistry as writers was pretty instantaneous from the start\,” explains Andris. “The first tune we came up with\, we all sat on a piano bench together and wrote as a unit. Nowadays\, each of us has our own studio setup and are constantly making beats and writing songs on our own. We’ll often send each other emails of beats we made and then get together to expand them into full songs. We have so much trust in each other during the writing process.”\nAs Moonchild\, the whole becomes greater than the sum of its parts—never more so than on their fourth full-length\, Little Ghost [Entertainment One].\nAfter that first shared piano bench session at the University of Southern California\, the group unveiled their debut Be Free in 2012. Please Rewind followed three years later\, and 2017’s Voyager saw them ascend to new critical peaks. NPR Music touted the record among\, “Five R&B Albums You Slept On In 2017\,” and JAZZ FM named them “Soul Act of the Year” for 2018. “Cure” toppled 8 million Spotify streams\, and “The List” exceeded 7 million plays on Youtube.\nAlong the way\, the trio performed headline shows everywhere from the United States and Europe to Asia\, and supported other tours for the likes of The Internet\, Kamasi Washington\, and more. As they began writing and recording Little Ghost in 2018\, the individual progression of each musician informed and elevated the creative process. While laying down tracks at a Lake Arrowhead retreat\, Andris dove further into the guitar\, incorporating it at the core of the new music.\n“The three of us are always experimenting with new programs and gear and trying to improve our craft individually\,” he goes on. “I’ve been so into guitar\, so that’s a big shift from previous Moonchild albums. The acoustic and ukulele really expanded our sound. The keyboard-driven sounds and horns are still there\, but they’re intertwined with guitar.”\n“The evolution connects to the title\,” adds Amber. “At the end of a star’s life\, the gas expands into space and leaves a really beautiful nebula\, and there is one up there called Little Ghost. We thought it was a cool concept of expansion\, mirroring what we were doing as a group.”\nThe first single “Too Much to Ask” illuminates that expansion. Andris pairs an electric piano patch with the guitar and ukulele over a skittering groove as Amber’s raspy delivery rolls from a near-whisper to a soulful swoon.\n“It’s about realizing you’re in a relationship with someone who’s halfway out the door – who doesn’t care like you do\,” she says. “Often you come to that realization one hint at a time\, with the all little things they don’t do.”\nEliciting a raucous reaction by playing horns together live\, the band “incorporated more horns than ever before\,” according to Max. Not only do horn solos blare and bounce through “Money” and “Come Over\,” but they kickstart the momentum on the opener “Wise Women” where jazz-y shakers and hi-hats give way to a breathy clarion call for female empowerment as Amber sings\, “Go on and prove them wrong.”\n“‘Wise Women’ is just about making things happen for yourself and not waiting for opportunities to come\,” she elaborates.\nUkulele and piano converge for a dreamy dynamic on “The Other Side\,” while everything concludes on the sweeping string outro of “Still Wonder.” It serves as a cinematic send-off befitting of the 14-track journey.\n“Writing together is ultimately therapeutic\,” Amber leaves off. “I hope we give listeners something they can relate to and find comfort in. It’s what music does for us.”\n“We were obsessed with crafting this record\,” concludes Max. “It got us really excited every day. Maybe it can inspire others to pursue their own art or anything that makes them feel good.” \n\n\n\n

SUMMARY:THE EXPENDABLES
DESCRIPTION:The Expendables enjoyed a laid-back lifestyle growing up in Santa Cruz\, CA; surfing\, skating\, partying\, and playing music were commonplace. Since 1997\, The Expendables have staked their claim in the California surf/rock genre by headlining venues from coast to coast. Blending Reggae\, Punk Rock\, and 80s style dueling guitar solos\, The Expendables have made heads turn and floors shake for years. \nThe band consists of four longtime friends: Geoff Weers (Guitar and Vocals)\, Adam Patterson (Drums and Vocals)\, Raul Bianchi (Lead Guitar) and Ryan DeMars (Bass). The first seven years of their career was fueled with three full-length\, completely independent releases. No Time To Worry (2000)\, Open Container (2001)\, and Gettin’ Filthy (2004)\, would bring in a combined total of over 40\,000 units sold with no physical distribution and no record label. \nWhile touring and supporting their album\, Gettin’ Filthy\, The Expendables would share the stage with Slightly Stoopid and catch the attention of founders and front men Kyle McDonald and Miles Doughty. In 2007 Slightly Stoopid formed their own independent label\, Stoopid Records\, and signed The Expendables for the label’s first non-Stoopid release\, which was The Expendables self-titled. Released in September 2007\, the album would be accepted as an instant classic by fans and received rave reviews from critics. \nThe band continued supporting the album with hundreds of shows over the next two years\, gaining fans around the world\, and respect from the bands that influenced them. Early 2009 The Expendables toured relentlessly. Within a few short months\, they hit the road with NOFX\, Less Than Jake\, Pennywise\, and Pepper. In case that was not enough\, The Expendables were honored to join 311 on their Summer Unity amphitheater tour\, rocking huge stages\, and opening new doors for the band. \nThe boys decided idle time was not an option after the conclusion of their tour with 311\, so they went straight in to the studio to begin recording their next album\, Prove It. Paul Leary (producer of Sublime\, Slightly Stoopid\, Pepper\, Supersuckers\, as well as guitar player for Butthole Surfers) and El Hefe (guitar player of NoFX) would split producing duties at Big Fish studios in Encinitas\, California. \nProve It was released May 11th 2010 debuting at #158 on the Billboard Top 200\, #30 on Billboard’s Independent charts\, and #4 on Billboard’s Heatseekers! The album also pushed to #15 on iTunes Top 200 and #5 on iTunes Alternative Charts\, jumping The Expendables to a new level in their career. The band’s new release would include guest performances by C-Money\, OG\, and Dela of Slightly Stoopid throughout the album. Jumping into the mix as well would be long time friend G. Love on the ballad “Wells”. \nTo support the release of Prove It\, The Expendables continued their tenacious touring schedule with their popular yearly Winter Blackout Tour\, a headlining Spring Tour\, a slot supporting Slightly Stoopid and Steel Pulse on this summers\, Cauzin’ Vapors tour and will be in Europe with The Mad Caddies during the fall. The band will close out the year with a national headlining run that will be sure to keep The Expendables strong hype building. \nThirteen years later\, five albums down and countless miles covered The Expendables show no signs of slowing down. \n

SUMMARY:JOYWAVE
DESCRIPTION: \n \nJoywave has spent much of the past decade holding an aural mirror to society\, concocting a distinctively modern approach towards pop music that is both organic and synthetic\, much like our own day-to-day lives. The Rochester\, NY-based band is now wrapping up work on their hugely anticipated third album\, POSSESSION\, due via Cultco Music/Hollywood Records in early 2020. Produced at Joywave’s own studio in Rochester by founder Daniel Armbruster\, arranged by Armbruster and his fellow band members Joseph Morinelli\, Paul Brenner\, and Benjamin Bailey\, and then mixed by Dan Grech-Marguerat (The Killers\, Liam Gallagher\, Lana Del Rey)\, advance tracks from the LP offer a clear display of the band’s evolution from the basement to the big stage\, to their current role of full-fledged pop provocateurs\, fearlessly assimilating genres\, motifs\, and big ideas into its own one-of-a-kind identity. Songs such as the unprecedented first single\, “Like A Kennedy” or the haunting “Blank Slate” provide both commentary and catharsis by bridging the political with the personal\, as Armbruster’s finely etched social commentaries ultimately give way to frank introspection. \n“The album really focuses on control\,” says Armbruster. “It examines it on a broader societal level but also on a very personal level\, like\, how do I gain control over my own life and experiences? We turn on the news now and it’s like\, what is happening? How am I supposed to go to the grocery store or think about paying my bills or whatever mundane thing I need to do?” \nJoywave first came together in 2010 to put live flesh on the bones of songwriter-multi-instrumentalist Armbruster’s original home recordings. A series of visionary mixtapes and EPs followed\, as did Big Data’s RIAA gold certified 2013 single\, “Dangerous (Feat. Joywave)\,” a #1 hit at Alternative radio as well as a top 10 multi-format smash. 2014’s HOW DO YOU FEEL? EP was fast followed by the band’s full-length debut album\, HOW DO YOU FEEL NOW? The album spawned a string of multi-format hits and 2016’s innovative remix collection\, SWISH. The following year saw CONTENT make a top 10 debut on Billboard’s “Heatseekers” chart upon its arrival\, powered by the Alternative radio favorites\, “It’s A Trip” and “Doubt.” \nJoywave has proved just as prolific and popular on the road\, performing countless headline dates\, show-stealing sets at international festivals spanning Lollapalooza\, Coachella\, Bumbershoot\, and the UK’s Reading/Leeds\, and support runs with such artists as The Killers\, Young the Giant\, Foals\, Walk the Moon\, Bleachers\, Metric\, Thirty Seconds To Mars\, Silversun Pickups and more. Indeed\, the increased focus on live activity in turn fueled the POSSESSION sessions\, the band’s increasingly complex interplay taking a bigger spotlight in the studio than ever before. \n“I think this album reflects our live show a lot more than the first two records did\,” Armbruster says. “I still wrote all the songs but the process has become a lot more inclusive. The first record was really something that I wrote in my parents’ basement. The second record was also pretty closed\, but now\, with this new one\, I got all the songs to a point and then really opened things up to the rest of the band. It’s kind of a big step for me actually\, to say\, Okay\, I don’t have to micro-micromanage everything. Now I only have to micromanage. I’ve gone from nano-managing to micromanaging.” \nThough not quite finished\, it is already abundantly clear POSSESSION will prove a milestone for Joywave\, evinced by such extraordinary new tracks as the aforementioned “Like A Kennedy\,” the band’s first-ever ballad and perhaps most startlingly original moment thus far. Wedding a strikingly transgressive lyric to a simple melody and tender vocals\, the song looks back into history to confront our current polarization\, desensitization\, and information overload\, culminating with a symphonic guitar solo seemingly pulled out of some lost FM broadcast from 1976. \n“It’s a media burnout song\,” Armbruster says. “It’s anti-chaos. It’s encouraging people to zoom out. Unfortunately I think that everyone will fit it to a political narrative because that’s where society is at right now. It’s not really taking a stand – it’s more like\, just stop all the crazy shit. We’re constantly told\, this is what’s happening\, what do you think about it? But I don’t know. I just want to be fat\, old\, and happy.” \n“Basically the violence just happens over and over and over again\,” Armbruster says about the video for “Like A Kennedy.” “There are four or five assassinations throughout the video and each time that I’m shot nobody reacts. It’s like putting the Zapruder film into 2019\, where nobody is surprised by the violence and no action is taken each time that it occurs. The violence is allowed to just continue and continue and continue. Obviously that is very relevant to where we’re at now. Every time there’s another mass shooting\, all these people die\, and you know\, thoughts and prayers. And nothing changes. It’s amazing to me that we had a president be the victim of gun violence and still the legislative bodies refused to make any type of meaningful change.” \n“Obsession” looks to be another highlight of POSSESSION\, its irresistible dance-pop expertly  “encapsulating the history of Joywave into one track\,” says Armbruster. “I think that this new record is – hopefully – going to elevate the band and introduce us to a new audience so I thought it was important to catch people up in one song as to what the band has done up till now. It’s like the Cliff’s Notes version of where the band has been. I think it sums us up very well.” \nEven at this early stage\, it is impossible to view POSSESSION as anything other than a giant leap forward for Joywave\, a boldly ambitious work that pushes an already visionary band across ever level\, from songcraft and band interaction to freedom of influence\, and most of all\, perspective. \n“One of the ideas on the record is being able to zoom out and have people back out of corners and back out of talking points\,” says Daniel Armbruster. “I’m making a three dimensional line where people are able to zoom out enough to see what’s happening and be able to use rational thought. I’m not trying to go left or right – I’m trying to move forward. I’m trying to go up.” \n \n

SUMMARY:LEGENDARY SHACK SHAKERS / SLIM CESSNA'S AUTO CLUB
DESCRIPTION: \nThe Legendary Shack Shakers’ hell-for-leather roadshow has earned quite a name for itself with its unique brand of Southern Gothic and swampy “hillbilly blues” that is all-at-once irreverent\, lyrical\, dangerous\, and fun. Led by their charismatic\, rail-thin frontman and blues-harpist JD Wilkes\, the Shack Shakers are a four-man wrecking crew from the South whose explosive interpretations of swamp blues\, rock n’ roll and hillbilly music have made fans\, critics and legions of potential converts into true believers. \nBetween intermittent hiatuses to work on other projects (including JD’s sideshow banner-style artwork for acts like The Squirrel Nut Zippers and Marty Stuart…plus his two published books The Vine That Ate the South and Barn Dances & Jamborees Across Kentucky)\, the band is constantly re-mobilizing\, much to the excitement of many a Shack Shakers fanatic. Despite Wilkes’ extracurricular projects\, the band’s reputation for intense entertainment has stuck with them. \nOn stage\, JD has been compared to the likes of Iggy Pop\, David Byrne\, and Jerry Lee Lewis. The Nashville Scene named Wilkes “the best frontman in Nashville”\, while former Dead Kennedys frontman Jello Biafra has called JD “the last great Rock and Roll frontman.” Guitar virtuoso\, Gary Siperko (Pere Ubu\, Whiskey Daredevils) intones a variety of strains\, from garage blues to gypsy jazz\, while the rhythm section rounds out with Preston Corn (The Dirt Daubers) on percussion and Fuller Condon (Two Man Gentlemen Band) thumping the upright bass. \nAlthough not necessarily “legendary” upon being named\, the band has grown into its reputation the last several years due to their heavy tour schedule\, seven critically acclaimed studio albums\, and songs that have been featured on television shows such as HBO’s True Blood and Swamp Loggers. Past tour mates and fans include Reverend Horton Heat\, Rancid\, The Black Keys\, Slim Cessna’s Auto Club\, and Hank Williams III. Robert Plant is also a noted Legendary Shack Shakers fan\, and picked the band to open for him on his 2005 tour of Europe. Plant named the band’s third album Believe as one of his favorite records of 2005. The list of esteemed admirers goes on to include horror novelist Stephen King\, who listed “CB Song” as among his iPod’s Top Five in a 2008 Entertainment Weekly article. Such a wealth of devoted\, cult like fans over the years has only added to the mystique that the Legendary Shack Shakers possess\, carrying them down the road toward new creative pursuits and riotous tunes. \n \nThere comes a moment in every Slim Cessna’s Auto Club show when you realize you’re seeing something you’ll never see anywhere else. It’s Slim Cessna in a whitecowboy hat and beard\, the lights haloing his ungainly frame\, horn-rimmed glasses flashing through the smoke. He’s trading lyrics and insults with Munly Munly\, gaunt and strange\, dressed in a shade of black particular to preachers and burnt down barns. Their voices rise and converge in the kind of exquisite harmony usually found in Sacred Harp congregations\, and then the band cuts loose\, the best live band in the world\, and the two men are doing battle\, playing out some cathartic war between good and evil on stage. Or trading dance steps. You can’t tell. \nI said the best live band in the world\, and I ain’t the only one. No Depression and Spin Magazine have said the same. This is a band that’s held its own onstage with everybody from Johnny Cash to the Dresden Dolls. But you listen to the recording of “That Fierce Cow is Common Sense in a Country Dress\,” and it’ll take you just about four minutes before you realize you’re listening to the best band in the world\, period. It’s Lord Dwight Pentacost leading the lunatic rapture on his Jesus and Mary double-necked guitar; Rebecca Vera playing pedal steel so sublimely that I swear to God you can see the ghost of Ralph Mooney circling the stage; and\, holding down the rhythm section like they have with each other since seventh grade\, The Peeler on drums and Danny Pants on the doghouse bass\, driving the band\, making you lose your damn mind. \nThey’ve been making music for over twenty years\, and there is\, quite simply\, nothing else like it. It’s gospel music\, is what I’ve decided. Gospel music for a blasted world. A world straining and bursting in constant pain\, but one that can’t help but overspill with joy – even knowing better. And the songs\, Jesus. Songs about Colorado Indian hater John Chivington\, alien abductions\, patricide\, a man born without a spine. This is the wild\, bloody and weird America of Harry Crews\, the only America worth a damn. It’s what Flannery O’Connor was trying to say when she wrote of dark romances and the grotesque. If you’ve got a heart\, these songs’ll break it\, and if you’ve got any laughter left in you\, they’ll beat it out of you until you cry. \nI probably can’t improve on what Jello Biafra said about Slim Cessna’s Auto Club\, that they’re “the country band that plays the bar at the end of the world.” But I like to think that as long as they’re around\, they can still save us from that end. Or at least from what currently passes as country music. \n \n

SUMMARY:THE BASTARD SUNS
DESCRIPTION:The Bastard Suns are a five-piece sonic assault vehicle. In just over 10 years\, this Atlanta band has managed to release three full-length albums and five EPs\, punctuated by 2009’s ultra-popular full-length Here Come the Suns\, and most recently\, 2011’s A Band for All Seasons. With the help of several national radio stations and sponsors like PRS Guitars and Soultone Cymbals\, the band has amassed hundreds of thousands of views on YouTube\, including the video for their single S.B.M.T.\, which has over 100\,000 views alone. Their tours are completely self-funded\, and have spanned the length of the U.S. almost two-dozen times\, including countless East Coast and Southeastern tours. \nThe Bastard Suns have always set themselves apart by seamlessly blending their primary influences (punk\, ska\, bluegrass\, folk and reggae) into a live show that borders on a religious experience. What began as a small grassroots campaign has quickly turned into a full-blown national following and it seems that The Bastards are only just now hitting their creative stride. The boys are are currently finishing up material for a 7-song EP. If you love great live shows and a D.I.Y.\, Never Say Die attitude\, boy howdy do we have a band for you. Ladies and Gentleman\, allow me to introduce The Bastard Suns. \n

SUMMARY:THE SUPERVILLAINS / MEPHISKAPHELES
DESCRIPTION:THE SUPERVILLAINS \n \nThe Florida-bred swamp reggae rockers have been bending genres\, partying hard\, touring the world\, and leaving tales of joy and destruction in their wake. \nMEPHISKAPHELES \n \nFormed in the East Village of New York City in 1991 by a group of punk rockers/artists/ad guys/jazz musicians\, Mephiskapheles played its first show on Long Island. From day one\, the band began attracting a diverse\, dedicated fan base. \nSold-out NYC gigs led to tours with the Buzzcocks and GWAR\, and hits on the Hawaiian Islands Chart with three singles from the band’s first album\, 1994’s God Bless Satan\, produced by Bill Laswell. \nWhile touring relentlessly\, Mephiskapheles followed-up in 1997 with Maximum Perversion\, a jazz-influenced work that didn’t take long to be hailed as a classic. A deal in 1999 with Koch Records resulted in the band’s hard-hitting\, exploratory third album\, Might-Ay White-Ay. The band released the self-titled EP Mephiskapheles in 2015\, featuring the single “Satan Stole My Weed\,” an instant classic. The Never Born Again EP\, released in 2019\, brings the band back full circle to its dark and melodic roots. \nFronted by lead singer Invidious aka the Nubian Nightmare\, along with the hottest rhythm section in New York\, and the Horns of Hell\, Mephiskapheles spreads its evil seed with an ongoing reissue program\, epic shows\, and new music out now. \nSee you in Hell. \n

SUMMARY:BEAR HANDS
DESCRIPTION:\n\n \nFour albums and 13 years into its career\, Bear Hands has mastered the art of the unfamiliar\, flouting trends and genres to capture the ephemeral with each new project. Fake Tunes\, the band’s fourth full-length album\, ventures further into uncharted territory: It’s a document of coming to terms with straddling the desire to stay young and the embrace of a slower life\, all while navigating a present that looks nothing as expected. \nFake Tunes is an album of firsts for Bear Hands\, comprised of vocalist Dylan\, bassist Val Loper\, and drummer TJ Orscher. It marks the group’s first album recorded in Los Angeles\, as well as its first since the departure of founding member and guitarist Ted Feldman. Produced by Chris Chu of POP ETC\, Fake Tunes is both playful and searing\, a collection of electro-pop introspection girded by hip-hop textures and psychedelic bones. Together\, it’s the sound of a band coming full circle\, one that sees Bear Hands both returning to its roots and redefining itself for the future. \n“It was daunting to have to go back to writing most everything myself\,” says Rau. “At the same time\, it’s been cool to have every single song be personal. It’s a dark time in America\, and I moved to L.A. specifically to run away from a drug addiction I had in New York. That was going better\, but not perfectly\, so that’s ended up bleeding into the songs\, too. “ \nFake Tunes captures that existential turmoil\, reckoning with the vertigo of life careening off the beaten path. But\, as the tongue-in-cheek title suggests\, it’s also a lesson in not taking yourself too seriously. Fake Tunes’ 11 tracks veer from the meaty\, rhythmic indie anthems the band cut its teeth on to digitally-infused numbers that swerve across stylistic lanes. The result is a fitting statement of what a band can be—and the expectations it can defy—nearly a decade after breaking out of its scene. \nBear Hands formed when Rau and Feldman began collaborating as students at Wesleyan University. They soon teamed up with Loper and Orscher\, both of whom hail from Connecticut’s hardcore punk scene\, and the band convened in NYC to test their chemistry on stage. \nBear Hands would go on to release its acclaimed debut LP\, Burning Bush Supper Club\, in 2010\, riding steady hype to 2014 showstopper Distraction. Radio soon caught on\, earning the band major chart success with singles “Giants” and “Agora\,” alongside a late night TV debut on Conan. The group quickly earned a reputation as a visceral live act\, touring with the likes of Passion Pit\, Killer Mike\, and Cage the Elephant\, and landing on festival bills from Coachella to Reading & Leeds. By 2016\, the band was venturing into moodier\, complex spaces with the release of third album You’ll Pay for This\, which landed critical acclaim\, a top five charting slot\, and extensive touring during which they further honed their expansive live sound. \nThen it all ground to a halt. Following the 2016 election\, Feldman left the band and Rau moved across the country to L.A. to address ongoing challenges with substance abuse. \nThat period of flux and reflection would prove to be a valuable test for Rau\, Loper\, and Orscher; the outcome is Fake Tunes\, the sound of a band tried\, regrounded\, and more passionate than ever. \n“It took us a minute to step back from everything and be able to write music\,” Loper recalls. \n“We regrouped and realized we wanted to be a band.” \nRau says he found himself “basically starting from scratch\,” writing much of the album alone at ABC Rehearsal Studio in Eagle Rock. \n“I had some nuggets that were half-finished instrumentals and it was very blank\, so I followed a schedule where I went there three or four times a week at 8 a.m. to get over there before anyone was there.” \nWith the nucleus of the new songs formed\, Rau and the band decamped to a cabin in the Catskills to refine the work and cement the group’s new dynamic as a trio. The process saw Loper and Orscher stepping into more central songwriting roles\, and collaborating on tracks in a piecemeal\, intuitive process that allowed the album to take shape around the songs\, rather than the reverse approach taken on past records. \n“When we first started the band\, it was just the four of us in a room writing songs—no computers and it was very raw\,” Orscher adds. “And the songs reflected that. They flowed and were kind of easier. And in a similar way that’s how we did this record.” \n“It was way less of a studio experience and more of a small rooms\, one-on-one experience\,” Rau says of the album sessions and his process developing the tracks with Chu. Rau similarly brought girlfriend Ursula Rose into the fold as a collaborator. At home in Echo Park\, he’d play her early versions of the songs\, with each going into separate rooms of their house to write lyrics in response and then reshape the songs together. The process would yield “Ignoring The Truth” and “Blame\,” as well as two tracks featuring Rose as a featured vocalist: album closer “Confessions” and single “Blue Lips\,” a weary tune penned after a night of drinking red wine that Rau describes as “about being fed up and hitting your limit with someone.” \nFake Tunes sees Bear Hands exploring new sounds and new themes with fresh wit and vulnerability. “Reptilians\,” for example\, is a surreal\, synth-layered track inspired by Rau’s fascination with conspiracy theories that embraces smokey hip-hop production and lilting rhythms. Single “Back Seat Driver (Spirit Guide)\,” meanwhile\, is lo-fi anthem steeped in reverberating synth loops\, while “Pill Hill” is a psychedelic reckoning with sobriety lead by Orscher’s muscular combination of live and programmed drums. \nAnchoring the album’s far-flung sounds is Rau’s sharp\, incisive songwriting\, tackling the challenges of relationships\, dependence\, acceptance\, and uncertainty. \nThe plaintive\, haunting “Clean Up California” is Rau’s most personal track to date\, confronting the disillusionment and false starts that come with the trials of shedding your past. \n“I went to California / Tried to clean it up / Turns out that California / ain’t gonna be enough\,” he sings over sparse acoustic strums and claustrophobic synths. \n“I wrote that song after Ursula and I had broken up\, which had to do with my drug addiction\,” Rau says. “I think a lot of people move to California to therapize and get clean. It’s a good running start\, and it ultimately got me to where I am now\, but it’s not the fix. There is no quick fix.” \nNow standing firmly on the other side\, Bear Hands is touring alongside Foals\, Walk the Moon\, and Twenty One Pilots\, taking the band to ever-larger stages throughout the summer. For now\, though\, they’re content to just take it one day at a time. \n“It feels like this record is grateful\,” Loper says. “We feel lucky to be here\, to have the chance to keep making music together. It feels lighter. The songs are shorter\, they’re pretty poppy\, and they’re to the point. And that’s where our music is most impactful.” \n \n\n\n\n\n  \n\n\n

SUMMARY:SCUTTLEBUGGS
DESCRIPTION:Scuttlebuggs is a scrappy Midwestern indie folk-rock band described as “raw” “edgy” “honest” and “weird but cool”. Their original vocal melodies\, harmonies and lyrics are the focal point of their sound and people have likened their music to Neil Young\, Wilco and Cat Power. Their debut album After Brilliance was tracked live on analog tape at legendary Chicago studio Pieholden Suite Sound and received glowing reviews describing songs as “beautiful”\, “haunting” and “positively life-affirming.” Scuttlebuggs had a busy last year: they had a successful month long tour of Japan and two around the US\, were heard on radio stations around the country and released a limited edition CD combining their two most recent EPs: No Fast Legs and End Of The Itch – a review described the lyrics as “perfect”\, “genius”\, and “a punch in the stomach through their pensive penning style” \, before attempting to sum up the band’s sound: “Genre-wise\, Scuttlebuggs skate between a Lo Fi Dream Pop sound and throw in some Folk to perfectly round off their ethereal combination”. In 2020\, they released a new single and music video titled “Hey There\, Skipper!” which was picked up for a worldwide broadcast debut by Ditty TV. SBuggs will do some more touring this spring and then delve into recording their next full length album\, to be released later this year. \n

SUMMARY:JUSTIN TOWNES EARLE
DESCRIPTION:Justin Townes Earle has done a lot of living in his 37 years. For starters\, there’s the quick-hit bullet points about his childhood that seem to get dredged up in every interview\, article or review about the singer-songwriter and guitarist: Born the son of Steve Earle\, who was largely absent during Justin’s childhood; struggles from a young age with addiction and numerous stints in rehab; long stretches of itinerancy and general juvenile delinquency; a youth he once said he was “lucky to have gotten out of alive.”  \nThat’s before we get to the years spent honing his craft in Nashville bars and on club stages all over the world; the various bands\, record labels and industry types that have been drawn toward and\, at times\, pushed away by him; and\, finally\, the celebrated and rather formidable body of work he has amassed since releasing his critically-acclaimed 2007 debut EP\, Yuma.  \nIt’s a seemingly bottomless well of material for a singer-songwriter to mine out of just three decades or so of life. And Earle at times has—most recently on his 2017 album\, Kids in the Street\, which the artist calls “one of the more personal records I’ve ever made.”  \nBut when it came to his newest effort\, The Saint of Lost Causes\, Earle\, these days sober\, married and father to a baby girl\, chose to focus his gaze outward. “Maybe having a kid has made me look at the world around me more\,” he says.  \nAs for how he felt after doing that?  \n“Frankly\, I was horrified\,” he says bluntly. Although\, he adds\, “I already sorta was\, anyway.”  \nMake no mistake: there’s nary a party\, PBR or pickup truck to be found in any of the 12 tracks on The Saint of Lost Causes. Rather\, Earle is focused on a different America—the disenfranchised and the downtrodden\, the oppressed and the oppressors\, the hopeful and the hopeless. There’s the drugstore-cowboy-turned-cop-killer praying for forgiveness (“Appalachian Nightmare”) and the common Michiganders persevering through economic and industrial devastation (“Flint City Shake It”); the stuck mother dreaming of a better life on the right side of the California tracks (“Over Alameda”) and the Cuban man in New York City weighed down by a world of regret (“Ahi Esta Mi Nina”); the “used up” soul desperate to get to New Orleans (“Ain’t Got No Money”) and the “sons of bitches” in West Virginia poisoning the land and sea (“Don’t Drink the Water”).  \nThese are individuals and communities in every corner of the country\, struggling through the ordinary—and sometimes extraordinary—circumstances of everyday life.  \n“I was trying to look through the eyes of America\,” Earle says. “Because I believe in the idea of America—that everybody’s welcome here and has the right to be here.”  \nEarle tells these American stories in detail and without judgement. But he also lays out his point of view right from the start. The Saint of Lost Causes kicks off in stark fashion with the title track\, on which JTE\, over a desolate soundscape of acoustic guitar\, deliberate snare hits and moaning pedal steel\, presents a harsh vision of the world in plainspoken\, almost biblical terms: “Got your sheep / got your shepherds / got your wolves amongst men\,” he intones\, before asking\, “Throughout time / between the wolf and the shepherd / who do you think has killed more sheep?”  \n“That’s kind of like the spooky leftist conspiracy theorist in me\,” Earle says with a slight laugh\, before turning serious. “But the fact is\, if you look around\, we live in a time where one of the number-one threats to an inner-city black youth is a police officer. It’s just bizarre. So I think sometimes how we forget how animal we are. We look at ourselves as this sort of higher-functioning being\, but we miss the mark quite often at being civilized and such.”  \nHe points to another track\, the slide-guitar-and-harmonica assisted “Don’t Drink the Water” (“Folks gettin’ sick\, talkin’ women and children / ask the man on the stand what he thinks killed ‘em”)\, as a further example of man’s disregard for his fellow man. “Several years ago one of [coal CEO and former Republican primary candidate for Senate] Don Blankenship’s companies leaked a bunch of chemicals into the river outside of Charleston\, West Virginia\, and there’s still areas where if people take a bath they’ll get lesions on their skin\,” he explains of the song’s subject matter. “We live in the richest per-capita country in the world\, and we have people who can’t bathe in the fucking water. Much less drink it.”  \nWhile that song and others like “Flint City Shake It”—where\, over a boogie-woogie rhythm\, Earle chronicles the decline of the city’s once vibrant auto manufacturing industry (“Then trouble come in ’86 / this son of a bitch named Roger Smith / cut our throat with the stroke of a fountain pen”)—cite historical events\, other tracks present fictionalized narratives that are no less harrowing or true-to-life.  \nTake the haunting “Appalachian Nightmare\,” on which Earle spins a first-person account of how a landscape of little opportunity combined with a few bad decisions can quickly lead to a premature\, and literal\, dead end. “It’s a fictional story\, but it’s a story we’ve heard a million times growing up in the South\,” he says. “I remember back in the late Nineties we had what they called the ‘Oxycontin Wars\,’ which was\, like\, hillbillies armed to the teeth robbing the shit out of drug stores. People went buck wild and it destroyed a lot of lives.”  \nBut Saint of Lost Causes is not all doom and gloom. There are also moments of calm\, both musically and lyrically\, where Earle pulls back to admire the beauty of the world around him. On the languid “Mornings in Memphis” (“one of my favorite songs on the record”)\, he watches the sun rise\, takes a stroll down Beale Street to the banks of the Mississippi\, and\, finally\, stands alone under a sky full of stars where all he can do is “try not to think / just listen to my heart.”  \nHe offers a similar\, if more jocular ode to his surroundings on “Pacific Northwestern Blues\,” where the Nashville-bred Earle\, now relocated a few thousand miles west\, laments only being able to drive 20 miles an hour due to the region’s notoriously rainy conditions. “We’re moving so slow / I’m about to lose my mind\,” he complains over a loping Western swing accompaniment. Says Earle with a laugh\, “I’ve been living in the Pacific Northwest for a while\, and I’ve realized that\, you know\, the weather really does suck up here!”  \nEarle may call the Pacific Northwest his home these days\, but when it came time to record The Saint of Lost Causes he headed back to Music City. “I always say\, ‘If you want whores and gambling\, you go to Vegas. If you want to make records\, you go to Nashville\,’ ” he reasons. Earle co-produced The Saint of Lost Causes with his longtime engineer Adam Bednarik\, and likewise brought in musicians that that he’s known for years\, among them guitarist Joe McMahan\, pedal steel player Paul Niehaus\, drummer Jon Radford and Old Crow Medicine Show keyboardist Cory Younts. “I’m realizing that as I’m getting older and grumpier and set in my ways\, I just much more enjoy making a record on my own terms and with people I know well\,” he says.  \nTo that end\, Earle also worked at a studio he knew well\, even if he had never actually recorded there before. Sound Emporium is a facility steeped in music history—it was opened by Cowboy Jack Clement in 1969 and has hosted country luminaries like Johnny Cash and Kenny Rogers over the years—and also Earle’s own childhood. “I grew up in that neighborhood\, and as a kid I used to ride my bike through the Sound Emporium parking lot\,” he says. “It was always an active place in the neighborhood. So it was great to finally be able to record there.”  \nAs for where Earle’s sound\, which on The Saint of Lost Causes spans everything from traditional country\, blues and folk to western swing\, roots-rock and boogie-woogie\, fits into the larger country music picture beyond Nashville?  \n“I see it the same way that Gram Parsons did\,” he says. “There’s this idea of moving forward and playing with newer sounds and different modes\, but at the same time making sure you keep one foot firmly planted in the past as you feel out the future. I think it’s really important to leave a trail\, you know? Put down some breadcrumbs behind you.”  \nHe’s similarly resolute when it comes to his lyrics. Ask Earle whether he is at all concerned that the bold stance he takes on The Saint of Lost Causes might raise the country-music establishment’s hackles\, and he can only laugh in response.  \n“I’ve never been opposed to pissing off all the right people\,” he says matter-of-factly. “But I see it two ways: If you don’t like what I have to say politically or anything like that\, just don’t read my interviews. But you’re never going to go to my shows and hear political spiel from me. We’re going to play songs and have a good time\, because that’s what the show is all about.  \n“But you know\,” he continues\, “I’m a disciple of the Woody Guthrie school of thinking about music. I figure it’s always better to just go ahead and tell people the truth.”  \nOn The Saint of Lost Causes\, Earle proves himself a songwriter and artist who is unflinching and unequivocal in his truth.  \n  \n  \n

SUMMARY:STAY HERE
DESCRIPTION:Atlanta\, Georgia’s STAY HERE has grown up. \nThe rock quartet\, comprised of frontman Parker Phillips (vocals\, guitar)\, Julian Chawla (guitar\, vocals)\, Julian Sosa (bass\, vocals\, piano)\, and Rene Acuna (drums\, percussion) conceived the first iteration of what would become STAY HERE while its founding members were still in high school\, eventually solidifying their lineup and refining their distinct sound on and off the road over the course of two years. Channeling the guitar-driven fury of the legendary Foo Fighters\, the delicate melodic voicings of Jimmy Eat World\, the dreamy\, atmospheric soundscapes of Angels & Airwaves\, and the seemingly innate penchant for distinct vocal melodies and harmonies possessed by Coldplay before them\, the four men in STAY HERE demonstrate no regard nor interest in maintaining any semblance of arbitrary genre associations they once identified with during the band’s infancy — only an uncompromising drive to create powerful songs with incomparably passionate and honest lyricism characterized by a sonic intensity and emotional urgency largely absent in the work of their many contemporaries. \nGrow\, the band’s debut full-length record and first true album offering as STAY HERE\, is a melodic tour-de-force devoid of even the slightest moment of filler across the eleven tracks that constitute its total runtime. The band spared no expense curating the most compelling album experience their collective talents could forge — enlisting the aid of producers Ian Joshua Riley and Dom Maduri\, and recording the majority of Grow in various weeklong stints over a period of nearly a year at Toast and Jam Studio in Buford\, Georgia before relocating the final sessions to the Atlanta-headquartered American Sushi Studio after an electrical fire unexpectedly devastated Toast and Jam near the completion of the recording process. \nThematically\, Grow delivers a deliberate\, yet heartbreakingly genuine coming-of-age narrative of lost love\, self-actualization\, near-death experience\, and recognition of how fragile the elements and individuals that make up the support system in a young adult’s life truly are — and how easily they can leave of their own volition or be taken away by unforgiving circumstance. Sonically\, Grow is as lush as it is heavy\, matching each gentle croon from Phillips and delicate piano keystroke with pummeling vintage amplifier tones\, cascading lead guitar work\, shimmering harmonic textures\, thunderous\, muscular performances from the band’s rhythm section\, and soaring vocal deliveries to furious\, adrenaline-soaked snarls. \nGrow\, as a debut full-length record\, is a powerful statement as much as it is a timeless retrospective chronicling the past few years of the four members of STAY HERE’s lives — that change is inevitable\, and though sometimes poignant and painful\, can and should be meaningful\, constructive\, and resonant — and that statement\, coupled with the band showing absolutely no signs of slowing down in the approaching decade\, stands as a testament to their individual and collective growth as a unit\, and a firm declaration that continuing to grow is exactly what STAY HERE intends to do. \n

SUMMARY:ARISE ROOTS
DESCRIPTION:The passion to create a unique\, roots reggae band is what brought the members of Arise Roots together. Hailing out of Los Angeles\, California\, Arise Roots was formed in 2010\, however\, it seemed as though these brothers were eventually destined to cross paths. Each member had been performing in various reggae bands throughout Southern California and backing various reggae legends coming into town. However\, drummer Ron Montoya decided to form what he considered to be the next powerhouse reggae band. \nAfter searching for several years and filtering through numerous musicians\, Arise Roots was finally formed. Teaming up with heavy bassist Rudy Covarubias and keyboard/vocals specialist Todd Johnson\, a tight rhythm section served as the driving foundation. Soon after\, lead vocalist Karim Isreal was added providing his soulful\, organic\, and powerful voice. Finally\, guitarist Robert Sotelo joined the group adding the finesse and authenticity needed for this original sound. \nThe goal: to create a fresh reggae sound with a modern feel that appeals to all ages and races\, but one that doesn’t compromise the true feel of roots reggae. Anybody who has had the opportunity to witness an Arise Roots show understands the powerful sound and positive vibration that they produce. Always paying homage to past reggae legends\, Arise Roots’ sound is influenced by such artists as The Heptones\, Israel Vibration\, The Wailing Souls\, Black Uhuru\, Dennis Brown\, Gregory Isaacs\, Mighty Diamonds\, Alton Ellis\, Barrington Levy\, Burning Spear\, Bob Marley and The Wailers\, The Skatalites\, Alton Ellis\, Sizzla\, and Midnite. In addition\, Arise Roots has had the opportunity to share the stage with such artists as Barrington Levy\, Michael Rose\, Sister Carol\, Big Youth\, Midnite\, The Meditations\, Kymani Marley\, Gramps Morgan\, Dennis Al Capone\, Pappa Michigan\, Mad Lion\, Gondwana and even hip hop heavy weights Public Enemy. \n
