SUMMARY:Postponed new Date tba 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:Postponed new Date tba THE BERGAMOT
DESCRIPTION:Emmy Award-winning duo The Bergamot release new record Mayflies produced by legendary engineer/producer Matt Wiggins (UK). The sterling stream of singles released this year has set the world stage for The Bergamot. The group has recently been featured in People Magazine\, PARADE Magazine\, US Weekly\, The Daily Record\, The Daily Mirror\, EARMILK\, ALFITUDE\, Where the Music Meets\, and Keep Walking Music. The new album\, Mayflies is set to be the biggest release in the group’s history. The band has announced a full U.S. tour this fall\, more music videos upcoming\, all the while the band’s fanbase grows by the day. It’s been an overnight success that has been 10 years in the making. \nAbout The Bergamot:\nThe Bergamot’s journey began on October 20th\, 2017. The Bergamot released their dreamy anthem P.D.R. (Both Records LLC). The single launched the band’s career who was discovered by Matt Wiggins (Adele\, U2\, Florence and the Machine) and then went on to achieve great reviews being called “The hottest emerging music talent” (People) and “a gorgeous sound” (Daily Mirror) and the “Best of 2019” on Where the Music Meets and mp3hugger. \nFans have discovered the band through an unbelievable series of music videos released to promote the new album “MAYFLIES”. The videos have been heralded by music critics as “Lush” (PARADE) and “The Perfect Blend” (EARMILK). These groundbreaking videos have brought light to difficult topics and continued to build upon the band’s momentum from “P.D.R.”. The videos have garnered over 150k views on YouTube and earned the band the #1 single (L.A.) ever released on the SubmitHub website. \nIn recent months\, The Bergamot revealed a fully animated music video for “One Mile” and the fascinating “Bones” video filmed by evolve Films. The “Bones” music video was filmed underwater and marks a poignant message about depressions and suicide. The glitches of the video reflect a fragmented perspective and touch the viewer in an empathetic and revealing way. After making the band’s UK debut in The Daily Record and The Daily Mirror\, the band is being heralded as “one of 2019 finest” (mp3hugger)\, “Best of 2019” Where the Music Meets\, and a band that “We’ve been lauding for years” (Atwood Magazine). \n

SUMMARY:Postponed new Date tba 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:Postponed\, new date tba\, SEBADOH
DESCRIPTION:\n\n\nIt’s been six years since Sebadoh put out their last record\, so it would seem that the release of this ninth full-length\, Act Surprised\, is long overdue. But actually\, that’s relatively quick for the lo-fi indie rock legends. After all\, there was a 14 year gap/semi-hiatus between 2013’s Defend Yourself and its predecessor\, The Sebadoh\, so really\, six years is nothing. Besides\, the trio – Lou Barlow\, Jason Loewenstein and Bob D’Amico – have a pretty good reason. \n“Lou is always being taken away and abducted by Dinosaur Jr. for these fun and exciting next-level rock’n’roll tours\,” chuckles Loewenstein\, “so when we get him back we have to relight the fire.” \nThat’s exactly what the trio did\, recording 15 new songs with Justin Pizzoferrato\, the engineer behind many Dinosaur Jr. albums. Recorded at Sonelab in Easthampton\, Massachusetts it marked a change in approach for the band\, who had not only produced the previous record themselves\, but who also gave themselves a bit more time than usual to get everything finished. \n“In the past\,” says Barlow\, “we would write in the studio and the songs would develop on the road.“ \nThis time\, we did some rehearsals a few weeks before recording\,” adds Loewenstein\, “which we almost never do. So we got a chance to not use the first take and took time to finesse things\, which we also don’t usually do\, so that was a good step.”\nAnd while Loewenstein admits that the album became something it wouldn’t have done had Sebadoh self-produced it\, as they did with Defend Yourself\, he learned to just go with the flow while they were making it. \n“I’ve done a lot of recording for other bands as well as the last Sebadoh record\,” he says\, “so it was a little bit strange giving up the science and the tech sides of the recording process. I had to try to leave Justin alone and let him do his thing\, trusting that it would be okay. I really enjoyed working with him and he’s a perfect fit for this band.” \n“I’ve always wanted to work with Justin on a Sebadoh record\,” adds Barlow. “We were able to finish a record as opposed to handing it off in the final stages to the Dinosaur Jr. machine.”\n“Besides his technical skill as an engineer\,” says D’Amico\, “his temperament is perfect for the personalities in the band\, and we all were comfortable working with him. He’s a musician and he works that way – thinking like a guy in the band and the engineer simultaneously.” \nIt’s true. As such\, this is a collection of songs that recalls the classic Sebadoh sound – that iconic fuzzy\, jangle of guitars that’s both joyful and wistful at the same time – but which also takes their sound both forwards and sideways. It sees Barlow and Loewenstein singing and harmonizing together more than ever before to create what D’Amico terms a “real ‘sound’.” Barlow and Loewenstein each wrote seven songs\, while D’Amico wrote penultimate track “Leap Year” – a hyperactive mush of angular rhythms that reflects the odd\, slightly dystopian world that we all seem to be living in right now. \n“To state the obvious\,” says D’Amico\, “we’re living in a surreal time in this country. There are folk tales about leap years and their disconnection from reality – and 2016 was a leap year that won’t end.” \nSimilar themes flow throughout both Barlow and Loewenstein’s compositions\, too. The former are slightly more mellow\, gentle affairs\, all written and recorded exclusively on 4-string guitar – “electric and acoustic 12 string guitars I have modified and use with alternate tunings.” Barlow explains. As such\, lead single “Celebrate the Void” is oddly soothing in spite of the fact it rushes off in a flurry of guitars by the end\, while both “Medicate” and “Sunshine” shimmer with glorious poignancy and self-examination. \n“Those two songs are subjects I’ve been mulling over for a while\,” says Barlow. ““Medicate” is about the \n\n\n\n\n\n\ntwo shortcuts to mental-ease and spirituality we try to take: drugs and religion. These have become for- profit enterprises that have little to do with changing the root causes of our problems.. “Sunshine” is about finding beauty at home as opposed to trying to buy it or hiking up a mountain to find it.” \nLoewenstein’s focus is similar but his songs are more turbulent\, a reflection of the anxiety he says he feels most of the time and which you can hear in the frayed\, bass-heavy “Stunned” and “Battery”. That’s something he says is compounded by these days of advanced technology\, especially the increasing dominance of mobile phones and the internet in our everyday lives. \n“Lyrically\, the theme is being overwhelmed by all the inclinations of modern living and trying to find release from it. All this modern technology causes new problems – new social problems\, new anxiety problems and new quasi-addiction problems for people. So it’s a whole new dynamic and as an anxious person before technology\, it makes me even more anxious.” \nTangential to that is his song “Raging River”. With its reference to 9/11 and tin foil hats\, it shines a light on the prevalence of conspiracy theories\, but more importantly addresses the double-whammy of constant misinformation and a lack of critical thinking. \nWhile Sebadoh isn’t an overtly political band\, that’s something Loewenstein says acts as a metaphor for the America that has a shady businessman and reality TV star as a president. “Somehow\, socio- hypnotically\, we’ve had the rug of facts and truth pulled out from under us by the actions of this weirdo\,” he says. “Which is remarkable. But as chaotic and horrible to question what is true\, the fact is we should have been questioning it all along.” \nTo that extent\, Act Surprised is a vital album for the modern age. And while it retains the quintessential hallmarks that have defined Sebadoh throughout their remarkable 30 year career\, it’s also a record that finds the band refreshed\, rejuvenated\, exploring new directions and right up there with the band’s very best. \n“I’m really proud of this record\,” says D’Amico\, “and I really enjoyed how we went about it. I think it sounds different from the rest of the Sebadoh catalogue in some ways\, so I hope that we can make the old fans happy but gain some new ones as well.” \n \n\n\n\n

SUMMARY:SWEET LIZZY PROJECT
DESCRIPTION:Sweet Lizzy Project\, one of the most culturally significant bands to emerge from Cuba in recent years\, has a distinctive sound imbued with overtones of classic American indie pop-rock suffused with an intoxicating Latino flair. Lead singer Lisset Diaz’s incomparable voice\, which has been likened to that of a long-caged sparrow finally set free\, captures listeners’ imaginations\, note by note\, leaving fans enthralled as they surrender to the group’s mesmerizing forcefield of sound. In addition to Diaz\, who also plays acoustic guitar\, the five-piece band includes: Miguel Comas\, lead guitar\, producer\, and background vocals; Wilfredo Gatell\, keyboards and background vocals; drummer Angel Luis Millet\, and bass player Alejandro Gonzalez. Sweet Lizzy’s songs\, all original and penned in English\, are reflective of the members’ wide range of ages\, from their 20´s to 40´s. SLP has attracted international attention with its high-energy\, genre-defying live performances. In 2017\, they were showcased on PBS’s “Havana Time Machine\,” alongside Grammy award-winning group\, The Mavericks. It was a fortuitous pairing\, as it gave SLP an opportunity to forge a relationship with Raul Malo\, the Mavericks congenial lead singer\, who invited them to Nashville\,TN the following year. Since arriving in the United States\, SLP has performed coast-to-coast. The group\, which was featured on PBS’s Emmy award-winning music television series\, “Bluegrass Underground\,” has been touring the nation with The Mavericks. SLP has just completed its second album\, “Technicolor\,” which was mixed by renowned sound engineer Niko Bolas and Thom Pununzio at Blackbird Studios in Nashville.\n \n

SUMMARY:PAPER JACKETS
DESCRIPTION:PAPER JACKETS is a band that exists in the in-between. \nThe Los Angeles-based sextet – vocalist James Mason\, keyboardist Emily Dickinson\, guitarist Jonny Vesely\, bassist Miles Franco\, backing vocalist Aimee Proal and drummer David Allen play a sleek\, souped-up style of synth-pop that equally takes its cues from the current crop of genre peers like Walk The Moon\, Smallpools\, CHVRCHES and Cherry Pools\, but also legendary acts like The Ronettes and The Beach Boys. The band’s EP\, DON’T LOSE YOUR HEAD\, recently re-released by Selma Records with a few re-imagined tracks\, swirl these decades-spanning influences and an overall indie aesthetic to create a blend of pop and rock that’s all at once topical and timeless. \nMason came to LA via Austin in 2016\, collaborating with producer Ethan Kaufmann (Avril Lavigne\, Driver Friendly) and building Paper Jackets from the ground up with the help of friends like Dickinson. Along the way\, the singer and his band mates leaned on their years of experience as musicians and songwriters to give their then-new project an air of confidence and swagger that oozes into the songs on Don’t Lose Your Head and elevates Paper Jackets beyond their years. \n“We felt like we had such freedom\,” Mason says of the process of making Don’t Lose Your Head\, which features a new track mixed by Charlie Park (lovelytheband\, Dreamers). It felt like getting your parents’ credit card number for the first time. We were able to explore all these different influences and impulses and get our hands dirty with a bunch of different sounds. Once we hit on ‘Trigger’ and ‘Girl\,’ we knew we were headed in the right direction.”\nTrue to his words\, the two singles bubble with synth-and-drum-machine energy cut by soaring\, effortless melodies\, while the EP-closing “1985” strips things back considerably to put its raw emotion on full display. It’s a musical dichotomy that truly exhibits the band’s versatility – capable of creating club-ready anthems as well as deeply resonant material.\nMuch like the band’s sound itself\, Don’t Lose Your Head is all about balance. It finds the members of Paper Jackets squarely at the fulcrum of adulthood\, stacking youthful impulses alongside increased responsibility – and all the messiness and\, yes\, consequences\, that come when the equilibrium between the two stages of life swings too far in one direction. It’s a set of songs that’s as much a night out as the morning after\, picking up the pieces after letting loose. \n“There’s a desire to live your life to its fullest and fly by the seat of your pants\,” Mason says. “I want to enjoy my life and seize it all\, but there’s a pull of reality that snaps you back and says\, \n‘This is just not sustainable or stable behavior.’ [Laughs.] I’m learning every day how to deal with that – and how to push the limits and see how far I can take it. There are times I want to surrender\, but there are other times I’m willing to live with the pain the next day. It can be frustrating to deal with both sides and the responsibility\, but that balance is what ultimately makes life fun.”\n

SUMMARY:MICHAEL FRANTI & SPEARHEAD
DESCRIPTION:Acclaimed artist and humanitarian Michael Franti and “Say Hey (I Love You)” singer radiates positivity on stage and off; AXS notes\, “Michael Franti & Spearhead are on a mission: to make the world a more positive place\, one note at a time.” With that mission in mind\, Franti takes to main stages in 90-cities with support act Bombargo. USA Today proclaims Franti is “an artist who’s clearly interested in making deep connections with listeners\, speaking powerfully through his music and living by his mantra that ‘there is no one in the world that you wouldn’t love if you knew their story.’” \n“I’m super excited about touring this year because now more than ever\, we all need music that helps us get through challenging times and brings people together\,” says Franti. “I love playing music\, whether it’s in my living room\, on a street corner or the amphitheaters and stadiums we’re going to be in this year. Regardless of the scale\, music is the sound of feelings and the energy that we create with the audience\, which makes us all believe that regardless of what we carried into the gig\, we can walk out of the experience feeling ready to take on whatever the world has to throw at us next.” \nOf the tour’s moniker\, Franti explains\, “On last year’s tour\, I made a tee shirt that said\, ‘Work Hard & Be Nice To People.’ I feel in this world\, we are constantly trying to divide the human family into groups that we can refer to as ‘other.’ It’s important to stand up for the values of embracing our differences\, being our authentic selves and accepting others for being themselves as well. Sometimes that’s hard work. Somewhere along the way\, our society seems to have forgotten that working hard and being kind to other people\, regardless of what their story or beliefs are\, is still important. Actually\, it’s more important than ever.” \n

SUMMARY:THANK YOU SCIENTIST
DESCRIPTION:THANK YOU SCIENTIST IS: \nSALVATORE MARRANO – VOCALS\nAs lead singer of Thank You Scientist\, Salvatore Marrano knew from an early age that he wanted to rock. He was also aware that it was a long way to the top if\, in fact\, he decided to do so. He continues his ascent to this day. Thank you for your cooperation. \n“I really like him” – Arby’s Founder Leroy Raffel \nTOM MONDA – GUITAR\n“Human man does a strum. He has knob on guitar that adjusts volume” -Premier Guitar Magazine \nCODY MCCORRY – BASS\n“I am Cody McCorry\, and I live in Cream Forest\, New Jersey. I am an experimental adult man\, but still play nostalgic jazz and always remember Ryan Thompson’s little pet creatures. I also enjoy theremin\, hand saw and long walks on a cold beach.” \nJOE FADEM – DRUMS\n“My name is Joe Fadem. I started playing music when I was 6 years old and took classical djembe lessons. I met Thank You Scientist when I was on tour as the bassist in the Sugar Ray.” \nBEN KARAS – VIOLIN\nBen Karas is a violinist with classical training whose drive as a musician has been fueled by his passion for literal salt. He knows exactly how much is needed to “bring it to life” He marched with Ghandi in 1930 and is the reason we still have salt readily available to this day. \nSAM GREENFIELD – SAXOPHONE\n“Sam was a classical harmonica player since the age of 10. When Tom called one day and asked him to join Thank You Scientist on harmonica\, he told Tom “I think I’d be a better fit on saxophone.” Tom agreed\, so Sam went ahead and learned saxophone to play in the band. It was a slow process and the band was very frustrated with his terrible playing at first\, but this just motivated him to get better. It was only recently he felt truly good enough to be apart of such a creamy group of musicians.” \nJOE GULLACE – TRUMPET\n“If it doesn’t taste good with chocolate\, it tastes good with cheese” – Premier Trumpet Magazine \n  \n

SUMMARY:POSTPONED NEW DATE TBA AMERICAN AQUARIUM
DESCRIPTION:“Country music was the voice of the people. It wasn’t always the prettiest voice\, but it was an honest voice\,” says American Aquarium founder and frontman BJ Barham. “I think that’s where country music has lost its way.” He pauses\, then adds\, North Carolina accent thick and voice steady: “I operate in the dark shadows of what we don’t want to talk about in the South.” \nThese days\, those shadows are tall and wide\, making it hard to recognize a neighbor\, family––even yourself. On American Aquarium’s new album Lamentations\, Barham shines light on dark American corners with heartbreaking conversations\, long looks in the mirror\, and empathetic questions\, all through songwriting that is clear without sacrificing its poetry\, and direct without losing its humanity. “As a songwriter\, my number one job is to observe and then translate what I observe into a song\, a story\, a lesson\,” Barham says. “I’d be doing myself and the listener a huge disservice if I didn’t talk about the things I see\, which is a country\, divided.” \nAs much as Barham appreciates an indignant protest song or one-sided anthem\, he isn’t writing them. Instead\, on Lamentationshe’s making the political personal\, reaching out to humanize folks with opposing viewpoints\, and offering dignity instead of demonizing. The result is the strongest writing of Barham’s already stout career. “I’m still very much standing up for what I believe in––I don’t think anyone can question what side of the aisle I stand on\,” he says. “But hopefully people listen and at least try to understand why their Sunday School teacher wears a Trump hat.” \nBarham has built a fiercely devoted fanbase hundreds of thousands strong\, fortified with 15 years of sold-out American Aquarium shows across the country and Europe. The band’s 2018 release Things Changestrode confidently into that distinct territory where rock-and-roll and politics meet\, prompting Rolling Stoneto announce Barham “earns every bit of his Southern Springsteen cred.” In 2019\, the American Aquarium lineup also shifted again: Shane Boeker remains on guitar\, and bassist Alden Hedges\, keys player Rhett Huffman\, pedal steel ace Neil Jones\, and drummer Ryan Van Fleet joined the group. \nA beloved live band known for consistently playing at least 200-250 dates a year\, American Aquarium chose to be more selective in 2019\, winnowing the schedule to 92 shows. For Barham\, sober for sixyears now\, is a dad to a toddler and still happily married\, the adjustment was a must. “We’re learning how to balance being in our mid-30s and being rock-and-rollers\,” he says. “Being home was the most rewarding experience. It allowed me to be creative and write about things that really matter.” \nLamentationsreflects that elevated focus. Barham\, who is no longer religious but was raised Southern Baptist\, wrote down the word “lamentations” in 2018\, and knew it’d be his next album title before he’d written a single song for the record. He felt an anchoring connection to the word itself––defined as “the passionate expression of grief or sorrow”––but also to the Old Testament book in the Bible. “Lamentations is one of the few books in the Bible where there’s this doubt of God––this guy\, crying out to the heavens\, like\, Why? If you love us so much\, why did you let Jerusalem fall to Babylon?” Barham says. “I saw a direct correlation between that and a Southern man today who voted for Trump. I wanted to write about a broken America and all the things that lead a human being to doubting something. Every song on this record touches on something a little different.” \nAlbum opener “Me and Mine (Lamentations)” is brooding and stormy\, plaintive acoustic guitar undergirding Barham’s weathered vocals. Searching\, frustrated\, and sad\, the song was written from the perspective of a conservative Southern voter who feels unseen\, unheard\, and short on hope. The broader message is immersive and immediate: Settle in and listen closely. Times are hard\, and this record is going to talk about it. Barham\, who doesn’t agree with the song’s protagonist politically\, imbues him with respect and sympathetic fatigue. “There are so many people who come out nowadays and say\, If you voted this way\, you’re a racist. You’re a misogynist. You’re a nationalist\,” he says. “But that was my teacher\, my librarian\, my uncle. I know they aren’t bigots. So instead of saying\, You’re a bad person because you did this\, I want to know why you did this. I want to talk to you about this.” \nUpbeat guitar rocker “Dogwood” follows\, with a tragic story wrapped up in singalong lines. Barham points to the song and “Luckier You Get\,” with its Springsteen vibes and an ear-worm chorus\, as two of the album’s more lighthearted moments. “Bright Leaf” is another musical moment ready for a crowd\, offering a clear-eyed look at the tobacco farms and industry of Barham’s home through sharp lyrics that thousands will shout-sing right back at him. \nFeaturing wry pedal steel and a shuffling back beat\, “Better South” is an alternative anthem\, written and sung by a native Southerner who believes in change. Line after line\, “Starts with You” shows off Barham’s self-deprecating wit: “They say you’re only as sick as your secrets / If that’s the truth then\, friend\, I’m dying / Spent a lifetime salvaging shipwrecks\, / Falling so long I thought I was flying.” \nThroughout the record\, the only victim of Barham’s harsh tongue is himself. Heartbreaking “How Wicked I Was” pleads for narrative omissions when it comes to explaining the past to his little girl. Album highlight “Learned to Lie” cuts just as deep: Barham delivers a gut-wrenching confession over lonely piano. Raw and intimate\, its look at how we hurt the ones we love evokes the unblinking candor of 60s and 70s Loretta Lynn––that extreme honesty Barham first valued in country music\, and now misses. “That was one of the first songs I played for the boys in the band\, and they were like\, ‘Are you sure you want to record that?’” Barham says. “It’s a hard song to talk about. It’s a heavy song. For better or worse\, I’m going to be real with you live. I’m probably going to make you uncomfortable. And that I think that’s a beautiful part of rock-and-roll.” \n“Six Years Come September” is another heartbreaker\, masquerading at first as a familiar story before a sobering plot twist. “As a songwriter\, that’s the best feeling in the world––ruining someone with lyrics and a well-executed story\,” Barham says. He points to album closer “Long Haul” as a frontrunner for his own favorite track. Perhaps the closest the record comes to jubilation\, “Long Haul” rolls through three steadfast commitments Barham holds true and dear. \nUltimately\, Lamentationsis a thrilling portrait of an artist and his band reaching new levels of skill\, consciousness\, and potential after 20 years in the trenches. Unruly and sincere\, Barham emerges as an important American voice––and an unlikely peacemaker. “I’ve had to work really hard to carry water as a songwriter\,” he says. “It feels really good to be in my mid-30s\, writing songs that I think matter. I think when you listen to this record\, something is going to change in you. You’re going to feel something. That’s the most important part of songwriting: making someone feel \n

SUMMARY:FUX
DESCRIPTION:Fux (Fyooks) is like an Electric Storm\, combining multiple elements of sounds that flow throughout space and time to provide a performance you just can’t stop staring into. Bringing the Passion back to Rock-n-Roll but also touching multiple genres including Psychedelic rock\, Heavy rock\, Funk\, Jamtronic\, Jazz\, and Beatles pop like lyrical phrases. The name derives from composer Johann Joseph Fux\, who helped modernize Western Music and is the author of Gradus ad Parnassum\, a treatise on counterpoint. Blending their love for Umphrey’s McGee\, Phish\, Al Di Meola\, Mahavishnu Orchestra\, Steely Dan and many classic rock bands\, Sultan set out to find the final puzzle pieces to this mystical musical monster\, which lead to the discovery of Dustin Fennell\, Dylan Porper and Eric Johnson. Thus in an erotic crossfire hurricane Fux was born. \nFux decided it was time to take their knowledge and mend it with their soul to work towards getting the masses dancing\, laid\, and spreading Love. After receiving knowledge from idols Jacob Alan Cinninger\, Brendan Bayliss (Umphrey’s McGee) and Gabriel Marin (Consider the Source) they were finally ready to show the world what was brewing in their mind to create music that makes sense. \nFux combines their humorous and laid back personalities on and off stage to spread cheerfulness and positivity to the world. Don’t let their silly attitudes fool you\, these boys show up to play. With the machine like transcendental rhythmic varieties from Eric \, wondrous varieties of sounds for the imagination from Dylan\, thunderous bass love bombs from Dustin and sporadic psychedelic ignition from Sultan\, Fux will keep you dancing all night long. \n“I wish I named my band something good” – Brendan Bayliss Umphrey’s McGee \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: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
