Get ready to find your new favourite artist. Crabb is your favourite musician’s favourite musician who is stepping into the spotlight with the release of the single ‘Mykonos 09/12/22. The single is the first to be released from the album ‘English American’, which will cap a legendary musical career spanning Wham!, Freddie Mercury, and Elton John, from the late, great producer Steve Brown. Additional artistic direction following Brown’s passing comes from six-time Grammy winner Steve Lillywhite CBE (U2, The Rolling Stone, The Killers).
‘Mykonos’, and its accompanying music video, are a love letter from Crabb to his wife. The acoustic adult contemporary track boasts a stripped-back texture, confident in the emotional resonance of Crabb’s guitar and powerful vocals. On it, Crabb plants a flag in the feelings of falling in love in your late 20s, marking that point for return across a relationship spanning decades.
Its video pairs Crabb’s musical performance with that of contemporary dancer Tess Howell, in London’s stylish Langdon Centre. Owned by the Downs Syndrome Association, the venue was chosen in part in support of the daughter of Mykonos’ engineer’s daughter, a wonderfully talented performer in her own right with Down’s Syndrome.
The album English American is due for release early 2023 after 20 years in the making. Beginning in the mid-90s, Crabb met and became close friends with producer Steve Brown (Cult, Manic Street Preachers) while at Sony EMI. For two decades the collection of songs that Brown would come to refer to as ‘old stock’ came together, taking influence from the musical styles it outlived.
English American is Brit Pop’s hedonistic daze meets the stripped-back acoustic Blues and Folk/Alt-Country, with modern production from one of the best to ever do it.

POP ROCKERS BANK STREET MARTYRS RELEASE LEVEN THE VALE, THE ALBUM TO SERENADE THE TOWNS AND RIVER THAT MAKE UP THE VALE OF LEVEN
Artist: Bank Street Martyrs
Album: Leven The Vale
Lead Single: Leven The Vale
Release Date: 10/12/22
F.F.O: Deacon Blue, Bruce Springsteen, Steely Dan, Small Faces
LEVEN THE VALE | OFFICIAL MUSIC VIDEO
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j3d4hAj8Fuc
With what they have christened a Rhythm and Blue Collar sound the Bank Street Martyrs have released their debut album Leven The Vale and its single of the same name. The 11-track project is a love letter to Scotland’s Vale of Leven from the band’s founder and lyricist Ian Morris Retson who, as he describes it, is ‘reflecting as an older man, back to where it all started’.
The bittersweet album was released Dec 10th, 2022, with a performance at the Library in Alexandria.
The album’s lead single ‘Leven The Vale’ was originally written by Retson as a poem read at his 60th
birthday. Named after the river The Leven that runs through the Vale, the song reflects on the lyricist’s return to his hometown. The song takes inspiration from the sounds of the 60s/70s but comes complete with flourishes of modern production.
The single’s accompanying music video carries its melancholic homecoming themes further. Directed by
local filmmaker Harvey Smart, the black and white video shows a man awaken by the river before taking a
tour of the town’s landmarks. Cutting between aerial drone shots and intimate street level views, Leven The Vale’s music video is an absolute must for anyone with a connection to the area or love of contemporary melancholic rock.
Leven the Vale’s single follows the song writing footsteps of the rest of the record’s tracks. The album’s
songs begin as Retson’s poems which he passes on to cousin and musician Andrew Marsland who teamed
up with vocalist Joseph Montenegro Watema.
Joe, being the only member not born and raised in the Vale, brings an intriguing external input to these universal themes. Whilst the Vale Boys, Andrew and Ian are the latest musical ambassadors of the region. With this release, the Bank Street Martyrs join the canon of The Vale’s remarkable musical output which boasts the likes of Sharleen Spiterri.
Leven The Vale is available across all platforms now.

Wanaka – Interviewing David Elbaz
Jim Morrison. Janis Joplin. Sid Vicious. Countless others. How many more legendary artists do we have to lose to heroin? That is the question that Wanaka asks on his new single ‘Another Spoon’. Releasing Oct 7th, the track and its accompanying video is an ode to the artists that have fallen to the opiate.
Another Spoon sees Wanaka’s tender vocals chronicle the escapism of the drug and what it means to the song’s hero. The single has a melancholy that runs throughout, balancing between intimate verses and its explosive end.
The accompanying Claymation video brings Another Spoon’s themes front and centre with psychedelic flair. The piece depicts an artist sad and alone in the real world who discovers a colourful realm blessed with music upon abusing drugs. The bittersweet twist however is that though they have found a temporary happiness, their true body wastes away.
Another Spoon continues Wanaka’s musical tapestry, weaved by evocative and poetic songs. Taking influence from grunge to alt-rock to folk, as well as nature itself, the French-born Israeli artist refines diverse sources into his signature folk-rock sound, bolstered by poignant songwriting.
Having started music at the age of 9, moving across the organ, guitar, and ukulele, it is easy to see the deep-rooted influence that music has had on Wanaka, and why Another Spoon’s subject matter would hit so close for him. The artist invites music lovers of all backgrounds to listen to Another Spoon and consider how they may help a friend with whatever demon is plaguing them.
Another Spoon will be available across all platforms 07/10/22.

Band Description: Sixty Miles Down is a hard rock band from New Jersey with a sound reminiscent of Black Sabbath and Alice In Chains with a little bit of a 90’s sound.
Artist Biography
Bands can be dime-a-dozen, but there is only one Sixty Miles Down!
Emerging from the elite northern New Jersey music scene, Hard Rock outfit Sixty Miles Down hit the ground running in the music realm in 1996 when the band first formed, and are comprised of a team of pro league musicians that have put together a chemistry of Rock elements that can be described as dark, melodic and rough around the edges. The band consists of original member John Mosco on vocals and drums, Dave Crum on lead and rhythm guitars, and Jay Brachman on bass. The band’s infectiously catchy and versatile style is one within its own right, but have been often compared to other Rock heavyweights like Alice In Chains, Black Sabbath and Corrosion Of Conformity.
Known for their high-energy live shows, Sixty Miles Down has had the opportunity to perform at a vast array of venues and events throughout New Jersey and New York including Dingbatz, Starland Ballroom and The Stone Pony. The band released their debut 12-song album “Sink Or Swim” in 2002, which garnered them a slew of positive reception and critical acclaim since its release date. However in 2006, under a new lineup change, they followed-up the album with their 6-song EP “A New Skin,” which brought on a more evolved sound, but true to their overall signature style their fans have all come to know and love. Their self-titled track “A New Skin” from the EP has been in and out of top 10 charts on several digital platforms including broadjam.com, songvault.com, ourstage.com and Jango. Their songs have also been featured in the extreme snow mobile DVD series Thunderstruck.
Currently, the band is promoting a new single called Gotta Get Out and filming a video for the song for a November release. The band is continuing work on a new ep due out in 2022.

Henry Metal’s sixth studio album, “War In Heaven,” is out everywhere January 1, 2018. The first four singles are available exclusively to LeafPileRadio listeners here!
_________________________________________
Henry Metal debuted in late March of 2017 with the release of 2 singles, “Butthead Maven” and “Boss of Me,” both of which would appear on his first album “So It Hath Begun.” The nine song LP was the genesis of a uniquely honest, straightforward and blatant style which subsequently unfolded organically into 4 more full-length albums released rapid-fire during Henry’s debut year. Sometimes humorous and sometimes righteously indignant, “So It Hath Begun” covered the landscape of raw rebellion, lust, sarcasm and humor with a middle finger displayed proudly to all conventions pertaining to the business of making commercial music.
The momentum created with “So It Hath Begun” pushed seamlessly into “Wizard Vs Demon,” Henry’s second album. Songs such as “Succubus,” “Heavy Metal Is Dead” and the title track “Wizard Vs Demon” developed the somewhat more serious musical aspirations of Henry, while tracks such as “Hackers, Leakers, Truth Seekers,” “Fukushima Ceviche” and “Possible Side Effects” took shots at society at large. Humor also plays a continuous part throughout the album, especially in “Samurai” and “Rock Out.” Musically, Henry’s classic baroque guitar shreds continued to weave in and out of classic American blues-rock pentatonic riffs, all the while sitting snugly in a deep, intricate pocket of solid and perpetually moving metal.
Meanwhile, the outright rejection of every entertainment business formula and traditional gatekeeper had become an over-arching theme in the style and marketing of Henry Metal. The music videos for “Wrist is Pissed,” “Wizard Vs Demon,” “Terrible Driver,” “Thought Police” and “You Ain’t Seen Nothing Yet” are campy, unapologetic affairs with the same simplicity and purity of intention, for better or worse, as the music itself. As the campy imagery mingles with music that rages with intensity it becomes a cautionary message about taking even serious things too seriously. This approach has not been without its critics and some have dismissed it as either too derivative (largely because of the faceprint and mask) or not serious enough for their tastes. Of course, Henry is not the first to undergo the critical wrath of musical know-it-alls. To hear Henry tell it, “if you’re pissing people off, you know you’re doing something right.”
Henry’s third record, “The Maestro Abides,” took a decidedly more serious and substantive turn as evident on such tracks as “Thought Police,” “Bankster,” “The Maestro Still Abides” and “On With the Show.” Though not quite your average ‘good time rock,’ the album is packed with good times, from a strange rebel and sheriff interlude to a song about speed walking and not putting enough ink into disposable pens and, hence, wasting time and good plastic. The album, in some spots, is perhaps Henry’s most abrasive and opinionated to date, though all better for it.
“Metal O’Clock” is Henry’s fourth offering which is an extremely engaging, musical and catchy affair from beginning to end. With big choruses, memorable riffs and a stadium rock vibe it might be considered quite commercial were it not for its subject matter which opens with a punk rock middle finger, continues into a thrash metal fury and pays homage to the Swedish Viking gods Odin and Freyja on the way to making fun of government ineptitude and consumerism. To cap off his senior release, Henry sarcastically glorifies drug abuse before taking us out with a tune about elective cosmetic surgery. As usual, there is not a single dull moment on the intense, virtuosic and precisely composed “Metal O’Clock.”
“Henry Metal V” takes a highly stylized and original approach to the True Metal sound and is an entertaining and highly addictive ride from beginning to end. In true Henry fashion, technical chops and classic riffage meet unbridled expression throughout the album and each song offers a glimpse into a corner of the Metal genre’s tried and true subject matter, from sex to monsters to muscle cars.
Henry gives a nod to the lineage of his inspiration with his cover release of “Fire” by The Crazy World of Arthur Brown. 1968 England was when and where the face paint, devil horns and phrygian scales were gearing up to take over the rock world. Thank goodness these things are alive and well today.

Irish American Nova Casanova has inherited a love of music and storytelling from his ancestors and puts it to good use in all his music. As a pioneer of “ultra rock”, a multi genre based on futuristic guitar tuning, Nova presents a panorama of sound and words that bring to life a storied world of love, hate, joy and sadness.
Nova absorbs inspiration from Period Dramas and Crime shows by watching TV while holding a guitar in one hand and singing into a microphone connected to a mixing desk and a PC. Immediate capture of the seminal moment is paramount in producing the unique songs of this talented artist.
Nova Casanova has a new single, Sand and Sea, a strong Grammy contender and environmental awareness theme song. The single, which was released earlier this month, is already making shockwaves in the world music scene. It is set to do well in the market for its message as well as melodious beats and sounds that drive the deep message home. The Ultra Rock song urges the inhabitants of the earth to save the only planet we have, take care of the environment, and avoid wanton destruction which will make life on earth unbearable.
The song asks pertinent questions of where mankind will go when the beautiful earth is no more. Nova blames human greed, poor political decisions, and hedonistic consumption as some of the reasons that our beautiful earth is being erased. The artist in the song appeals for people to help each other out, spread the word, the message, that is meant to help save the earth.
Sand and sea is not only a strong Grammy award contender but is also a single that every entity campaigning for a better world, clean environment, and sustainable living, should use as their theme song. The message resonates well with what these organizations do – saving the world from the hedonistic consumption and destructive nature of human beings.
Known as the Oliver Stone of Modern Music, Nova is the founder and premier artist of Americana Ultra Rock, a modern form of music which was first predicted by the musical genius Henry Cowell in his book titled “New Musical Resources” in 1917. The Ultra Rock genre sounds entirely fresh and new, something which he calls a brand new and unique sound. The music industry has summarized it as a multi-genre, based on futuristic guitar tuning. Nova is the ambitious sole proprietor of the highly experimental, yet undeniably digestible music genre.

Band Description
Hailing from Inglewood, CA Tia P. is a driven, passionate and charismatic talented artist, producer, musician and songwriter whose lyrical prowess is unmatched. Influenced by the likes of Missy Elliott, Pharrell Williams and Lauryn Hill, Tia P.’s soul embodies the essence of Erykah Badu, the funk of D’Angelo, the storytelling of Bahamadia and the brashness of Jean Grae.
Now, imagine all of this wrapped up today in a 24 year old Howard University Graduate who has been making music and writing lyrics since the age of 6. Unafraid. Honest. Unique. Next. You don’t have to imagine and more, Tia P. is here.
Rapper/Singer/Song writer/Drummer/Producer/Actress Tia P. is an extraordinary artist. Tia P. has taken on the challenge to be the Voice of the New Generation. She possesses a huge presence and commands immediate attention when performing. She has opened for KRS 1, Bootsy Collins, DJ Quik, Kelly Roland’s female group June’s Diary and a host of other well-known acts. In fact, in 2010 it was KRS 1 who officially welcomed her into the world of Hip Hop. Her goal is to defy the odds of expectation and not be limited to the boundaries of a particular genre. She definitely has the content to fulfill the aforementioned: to date, she has written over 1,600+ songs.
In addition to the above, she can be seen in a several national commercials; Sprite feat. LeBron James, Verizon iPhone 6 feat. A-Trak, Pepsi feat Pop sensation Tori Kelly, Kia Rio and Amazon Echo-Alexa
On February 1, 2018 in an impressive style, Tia P. delivered, yet again, with the release of her new single “Revolution” from her long overdue, but highly anticipated EP “Peek-A-Boo”. With clarity and resolve, the message is clear, “Revolution” is for the NOW, where matters such as race inequality, police brutality, sexual abuse against women and children are at a significantly troubling high. Without lament, this Anthem of the (now) majority voice of mankind is filled with syncopated cadences that draw you in to lyrically modulating truths. Entertaining and dynamic Revolution is reminiscent of the music resonating during social movements of the 1960’s, with its evocative lyrics tackling specifics like human and civil rights, race, DACA and civil liberties of others.
Tia P is a trailblazer, making history as a multidimensional artist using her voice to entertain with a purpose, asking critical questions and pursuing real answers. A true artist and creator whose motivating influences begin with fundamental truth and unambiguous objectives, Tia P. is a powerful voice to be heard. It’s time to change the game and Tia P. is no doubt a forerunner for her generation and the next, advocating for the most important audience of all…humanity.

With the release of the “Purl” EP, Bugjar takes on a classic genre, and gives it a spin all their own. Laced with addicting progressions, an edgy, melodic vocal approach, and a sonic wall of sound, the record boasts the aesthetic of alternative rock anthems. Although songs are diverse from one and other, there is a glue that holds them all together.
The first single, “Your Bliss” immediately grabs you with its upswing 90’s grunge pop riff, followed by catchy vocal melodies dripping with reverb, and a hard hitting backbone you won’t soon forget.
“At first listeners may think that the theme of the song deals with some sort of love or lust, and thats completely understandable and listeners are welcome to interpret it in any way they like, but the theme for me deals with much broader and less joyous concepts of resentment and envy”, explains songwriter Mark Hajjar of the band’s single.
Although the single does speak volumes for the EP, to get a real understanding of where Bugjar is coming from, it should be heard in its entirety.
“I’d say the rest of the album is included but not limited to the common idiosyncrasies which are prevalent on the single. Most of the tracks have that same feel that “Your Bliss” gives the listener; with many guitar layers and poppy vocals over it, but each track, even though they can definitely be recognized as a product of the same band/songwriters, has its own feel and own nuances which give them an independence despite them being placed on a 5 song EP”, says Hajjar of the songwriting process for the record.
Originally spawning from a school project, Bugjar ended up being much more than anyone expected. Writing their first song in 2014, the beginnings consisted of 2 guitarists bouncing ideas off of each other to see what happened. Once the lineup was complete, the shoegaze influences began growing into what became a staple for the band’s sound. The “Purl” EP is a testament to where they are at with their sound right now.
Bugjar has been featured by blogs, radio stations, and even on Bandcamp’s “Discovery Weekley” section giving them a chance to start getting their name out into the world.
“Purl” is now available for streaming and downloads on most major digital outlets and the artist has already set up shows for this spring followed by a tour in support of the release.

When the clouds roll in and the darkness blocks your horizon
When the rain won’t stop just to let the sun shine through
When the sky is black and the air is suffocation
When the world brings all its weight right down on you
Don’t give up your dreams, don’t be downhearted
Don’t lose hope and don’t accept defeat
I’ll be your rock
I’ll be your strength in times of trouble
I’ll be your rock
I’ll be your fortress in the battle
I’ll be your rock rock rock rock
When the closest friends all deny they even know you
And when family is blind to what you’re suffering
When each new day only trips you up and robs you
Trouble’s at the door and asking to come in
Don’t despair, don’t let yourself be beaten
Don’t retreat from what you’ve planned to do
I’ll be your rock
When you cannot see a future in the present
When all you can read is the writing on the wall
When there’s nothing in your head that believes in your own heart
When everything you hear whispers fear and ruin
Stand your ground, stand firm, tall, stand certain
Stand because you know you’re not alone
I’ll be your rock

Ralph Pezzullo – Just a Boy: Leonard Cohen Lives
LA based Alternative singer songwriter Pezzullo slides between deep resonant vocals to hitting the exponential highs full of soul. The song flows ubiquitously, steeped in the resonant apathy of enduring the aging process and learning the true nature of reality. The sound to the track flows with subtle reverberation and minimal chaos to give the spot light to the empyreal delight of Pezzullo’s voice.
Just a Boy is one of the most stunning compositions of music I’ve ever had the pleasure of hearing. The vocal arrangements are built so carefully around Ralph Pezzullo’s voice, giving his sound structure alongside tonal variation to ensure the teeth of the song get a firm grasp of your emotions.

Dawn Vally
was formed late 2007 and have made their mark through high energy shows an heavy sound. Since then they have released 2 demos and 1 E.P. They put out their first album “Just Pleaser” in November 2013. Currently Dawn Vally just released their latest E.P “Still Bleeding”
The mainstream is getting heavier. The people are getting angrier. Dawn Vally is a band that reflects this. They don’t believe in being silent because Metal is an “underground” genre.

Masked Bass Music vigilante, LAMEBOT, combines booming 808 sub-bass with 16 bit inspired synth melodies to create his special blend of “Future Bass”.
Started in October 2010 as a genreless musical experiment, LAMEBOT is becoming a bass music staple. With a sound dubbed as “futuristic glitch bass“ by Sweat Records and “future bass” in the Miami New Times, LAMEBOT shows a wide musical range with the genres of his original tunes and remixes blending aspects of trap, dubstep, glitch-hop and more. In a short time, LAMEBOT has gone from small venues to providing support for national headliners such as ill.Gates, Mochipet, MartyParty, Lil Eazy-E & Layzie Bone, and many more.
LAMEBOT has spent the last year headlining a monthly party in Miami called “Strange Bass” which has seen him share the stage with act like Kool Keith, Havoc of Mobb Deep, MartyParty, Mochipet and many more. These songs represent some of his newest work.
Serving as both an ode to the early Internet and to the luscious booty of Ashley Alban, LAMEBOT constructed a bass heavy track for 808 day in “Alban 95”. Utilizing samples from AOL, Ashley, and the TR-808, the track manages to launch you into the future of sound while celebrating its roots.
Blue Champagne is a single off of LAMEBOT’s recent “Vortex” EP and features vocals from PA based artist, Lexa Terrestrial. The track features sprinkles of Jersey Club and Juke over booming bass drums and a message to “Chase Dreams, not boys”.
“Why Can’t I Be with You” is a new song releasing Feb 9th as part of a two song EP through Strange Media and is signaling LAMEBOT’s music taking a bit more of a personal feel. LAMEBOT says the project was written to depict the feeling of isolation caused when you long to be with someone who is emotionally unavailable.
The last song on here is a remix done for fellow label mate Zodiak Iller. “Lyke Dis” got the LAMEBOT treatment and the track will see an official release later this year. Video game style synths made from sounds of the original song and new bass and drum parts combine into a bright, emotional re-imagining of the song.

SUNDOWN DELAY – Awaiting The Death of Rockn’roll
Ten new songs from one of Sweden’s most interested bands
Follow up to 2016’s critically acclaimed “Rubik’s Cube is Fighting Back
Clever and uplifting mixture of heavy metal, psychedelia and pop
Sundown Delay are back with a new album “Awaiting the Death of Rockn’roll”. Ten songs where rock-hard NWOBHM, punk and pub rock as well as clever psychedelia and pop are woven into a sound as individual as unique.
Sundown Delay are based in Alingsås, a dull and sleepy town located about forty-five minutes northeast of Gothenburg, which is otherwise best known as the home of the man who introduced the potato to Sweden, and because the poet Karin Boye went there to commit suicide. Alingsås is also known nationally as the area that can proudly claim the highest number of burnt out medical and care workers on long-term sick leave.
Only a chosen few people in Alingsås know about Sundown Delay. This is despite the fact that their 2015 debut “Catching up with the future” and 2016’s critically acclaimed miniLP “Rubik’s Cube is Fighting Back” were both crystal clear proof that the bands songwriter Svante Widerström has found an exceptionally good sounding musical recipe.
On “Awaiting the Death of Rockn’roll” the band are even more uncomromising than ever.
The opening track “You’re in Love With Yesterday” takes an inexorable grip on the listener and on “Emotional Waste” Sundown Delay sound like high octane pub rock à la Dr. Feelgood mixed with early metal acts in the style of Saxon and Diamond Head. The result is murderously hard. On “In the Valley” the tempo drops but the inensity certainly doesn’t. Slide guitars and vocals recorded through a Lesley speaker create an air of psychedelia. “Zeb Macahan” sounds like The Electric Prunes transported to the early eighties metal scene.
The original idea of Sundown Delay was to create a final platform (since his former band dissolved) from where Svante Widerström could throw the 10 songs he writes every year into the great nothingness. A one-man band would not only have non-exist issues with drop out members. It would also mean total creative control. But it would also mean no fun. So when old friend Nanne Westerholm offered his service from behind the drums Svante of course was happy. Together they recorded “Catching Up With The Future” 2015. But as a duo they weren’t able to play live. To be considered as a band they needed at lest a bass-player.
They found the missing piece in Björn Ericsson and recorded the mini LP “Rubik’s Cube Is Fighting Back” which was released in april 2016. The record was critically acclaimed but since drummer Nanne Westerholm left the band in june same year there wasn’t too much action.
The replacement was called Tobias Wiik and after playing a few gigs they started to work on new music. The new full-length album “Awaiting The Death Of Rock’nroll” was released in December 2017.

Hannah Smart is a 20-year-old singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist based in Middlebury, VT. Hannah Smart combines 90s grunge and 60s progressive and psychedelic rock to create haunting power ballads and angsty rock anthems.
She was classically trained in piano and viola at a young age but started writing songs and playing guitar at the age of 15. However, being left-handed and self-taught, she accidentally learned how to play a right-handed guitar upside down and still plays that way to this day, considering the syncopated style her playing produces a trademark of her sound. Her first full-length album, “The Reason Why I Don’t Believe in Love,” was released on CD Baby on December 23, 2017. Her style is alternative with a hint of folk and psychedelia. Her biggest influences are the Beatles, Pink Floyd, the Decemberists, Radiohead, Amy Winehouse, and Bob Dylan.

ABOUT THE BAND:
Forming in Saratoga Springs NY in summer 2017, Boo Fookin’ Radley’s founding members Alex Savin and Scott Terwilliger met at a supermarket of all places. Recording their first demo entitled “Proprioception”, they quickly set their focus on creating a set list for a full length album. Soon after, they decided to begin recording demos as they wrote. Once they had a solid set down, they booked recording time at Bunker Recordings with producer Mike Dwyer, better known for his work with The Lumineers, Bob Weir of The Grateful Dead, and The National. Recorded over a six day period, “Final Beginnings” is a testament to where the band is at with their sound right now.
With the release of their full length “Final Beginnings” LP, Boo Fookin’ Radley takes on some classic genres, and gives them a fresh, youthful spin all their own. Lush with addicting progressions, an edgy but soulful vocal style, and persistent pop undertones, the record boasts the aesthetic of pop rock anthems. Although songs are diverse from one another, there is a glue that holds them all together — much like a concept album would.
The first single, “Frostbite”, immediately grabs you with its infectious pop sensibilities, followed by a classic groove, and plenty of musical hooks. The song seems to build and breathe as it plays on to cross genres with ease.
“The song is essentially about conflict of self between desire and letting go. The word ‘frostbite’ in the song acts as a contrast in temperature to the line preceding it, which is ‘have him set your heart alight’. I think that this difference illustrates a difference in feelings as well, which is what I aimed to convey. ‘Frostbite’ is an introduction to the pop sound that courses through the rest of the album, and is a nod to its instrumental diversity,” explains the band of their single.
Although the single speaks volumes for the album, to get a real understanding of where Boo Fookin’ Radley is coming from, it should be heard in its entirety.
“It opened the door to more experimentation. We realized that each song doesn’t have to fit within the parameters of one genre. We were able to infuse rap, alternative rock, and pop to create a song that is familiar but also novel,” says the band of the songwriting for the album.

ABOUT ANIMAL SUN:
Formed in 2015 and lead by two brothers; vocalist and Principle Songwriter Steven Blake Alton and Drummer/Vocalist William Alton, Animal Sun has managed to grow a following throughout the Commonwealth of Virginia in those two short years. Deciding to name the project Animal Sun was designed in dedication to the Alton’s late childhood friend and musical compadre James Sun, who’s life was tragically cut short in 2011. Drawing strength from devastation, Animal Sun gathered purpose while meeting Lead Guitarist Jonathan Harris, Bassist Cazzie Olko, and Keyboardist/Guitarist Neil Ackroyd, to produce the spiritual alchemy that is embodied in their music. It wasn’t long before the band gained steam as they performed packed parties and house shows and colleges. By 2016, the band had found their identity and wen’t on to begin recording their first studio EP with Virginia Beach legend and resident Rob Ulsh. The Engineer/Producer has been responsible for works from major label recording artists; Pharrell Williams, Pusha T, Justin Timberlake, and Missy Elliot. The self titled “Animal Sun” EP was released in November and is a testament to where they are at with their sound right now.
With the release of their self titled EP, Animal Sun takes on a some classic genres, and gives them a fresh, youthful spin all their own. Lush with addicting progressions, an around edgy but soulful vocal style, and persistent pop undertones, the record boasts the aesthetic of pop rock anthems. Although songs are diverse from one another, there is a glue holds them all together much like a concept album would.
The first single, “Just for The Night”, immediately grabs you with it’s infectious pop sensibilities, followed by intimate and passionate vocals, guitar hooks, and an almost punk rock attitude. The song seems to build and breathe as it plays on.
“I wanted something that not only captured, but almost created a satire out of what many young people experience during a night out. It’s theme is about coming of age, and loving without anything in a return.”, explains songwriter Steven Blake of the band’s single.
Although the single speaks volumes for the EP, to get a real understanding of where Animal Sun is coming from, it should be heard in its entirety.
“The themes of the EP revolve heavily around coming of age, love, loss, and an overall maturing period that takes place for many around the age of 18-22. In a lot of ways this EP is a reflection of not only my life, but experiences we as a band have all gone through together; the good, the bad, and the ugly. To put things simply, I feel each one of our songs acts almost as a sponge soaking up the experiences and influences that not only I experience as the primary songwriter, but those surrounding the band as well.”, says Blake of the songwriting for the album.

Ivan has struggled to transcend the limitations of his working class background. As a steel worker in a dying industry he was often appalled by the blatantly unsafe conditions he and his colleagues were expected to work under. The memory of a workmate screaming in pain after having his hand caught in a faulty machine is just one that has contributed to Ivan’s social conscience. The challenges of finding and keeping safe, ongoing employment have given him empathy with those who are displaced or disadvantaged in modern society.
Coping with the day-to-day reality of his working life led Ivan to turn to music as a form of solace. The song Miss You exemplifies this, it was inspired by the death of his father and dedicated to his mother and sister.
His workplace experiences are also reflected in his music. The lyrics can be angry and political and some are quite dark, while the simple melodies and upbeat rhythms belie the nasty, cynical element. However the mood is not all anger and melancholy – Ivan’s marriage to his teenage sweetheart has inspired some happier, more loving songs. Her efforts to find purpose, as well as Ivan’s own, have also been the catalyst for several more philosophical offerings.
Ivan’s musical journey was almost derailed when his bass player and long-time friend attempted to defend a neighbour from a random drug-fuelled attack. He was hospitalised, was in a coma for a month, almost lost sight in one eye and was left partially deaf. This rendered him unable to continue playing bass. Ivan was so traumatised that he turned his back on music altogether – until his wife bought him a new guitar for his birthday almost two years later, prompting him to start writing songs and playing again.
Ivan has always been a versatile musician. He started out playing the flute, then successively played saxophone, drums, and guitar in various bands, gigging extensively. He then moved into writing and recording original material. As a result of being dissatisfied with the music production that he could afford, and inspired by the independent Do-It-Yourself ethos of underground 70s UK bands such as Sex Pistols, Joy Division and The Clash, he learned how to record, mix, master and produce his own music. This gave him much more creative freedom.
His distinctive baritone voice is influenced by the deep vocals of Jim Morrison and Eddie Vedder, while his music shows evidence of the influence of his parents’ record collection – Glenn Miller Band, Buddy Holly, Elvis Presley, Duane Eddy, Neil Diamond, The Beatles – as well as Ivan’s own collection: David Bowie, Jimi Hendrix, The Church, Soundgarden, Paul Kelly, INXS, Smashing Pumpkins, Nirvana, Icehouse. Ivan’s music can be described as retro rock / 90s grunge pop.

Dubbed the Adele of Trap music, Aria Nichols is an exciting up-and-coming artist, ready to take the Electronic music world by storm. Raised in New Zealand, but based in Dubai, Aria kick-started her musical career during her final year at medical school. She teamed up with talented producer Don Fuego, forming a solid tandem and fusing deep, authentic songwriting with EDM.
Solid early influences including The Cranberries, Alanis Morissette, The Carpenters, Shakira and more recently Tove Lo, Ellie Goulding and fellow New Zealand star Lorde – Aria has put her signature on Trap, adding Jazzy undertones, unique melodies and soulful, emotive lyrics to the distinct heavyweight drops associated with the genre.
Aria Nichols new single ‘Temptation’ follows hot on the heels of her November 2017 debut single ‘See Where This Goes’. Temptation tells the story of lust at first sight, a highly relatable account of the initial moments of a rather temporary but intense attraction. Aria explores the darker side to the club scene with subtle references to extasy use with lines such as ‘before the buzz wears off’ and also gently touches on issues of consent with ‘before the love is gone’. The relaxed melody and sleepy vocals set the scene, with Don Fuego’s tropical vibe drop perfectly complementing the mood.
Aria has launched an exciting, intense release schedule for her music, with her signature sound and catchy melodies she is sure to keep her name in the spotlight over the coming months!

Hard Rock band Chile Colorado’s debut album’s success at Rock Radio was a headline on the Newswire Jumbotron in Times Square, Manhattan, New York, across the street from the Hard Rock Cafe this month. The Chile Colorado band is next scheduled to release the digital single “Getting Restless” to Active Rock and Mainstream Rock Radio from the new self-titled album after having achieved 100 College Radio stations “Adding” the set for airplay.
The ‘Chile Colorado’ album features Ron Wright, songwriter, lead guitar, and vocalist, with Paul Goss on bass & background vocals, and John Ferraro on drums. All three are veteran California musicians, influenced by Rock icons like ZZ Top, Robin Trower, and Jimi Hendrix. One reviewer said the ‘Chile Colorado’ album “combines throwback sound with a modern vibe in the new album” (WRTU.com). Wright worked on the album with engineer and producer, Chris Minto, who engineered albums by Quiet Riot and L.A. Guns, among many gold and platinum releases. Minto’s wife, songwriter Janet Planet, also co-wrote one song. The album is available at iTunes, Amazon, and CD Baby.
The band’s founder Ron Wright has always had an affinity for Chile Con Carne, and as a young child he couldn’t pronounce it well, so it often came out sounding like “Chile Colorado.” Over the years, Wright began to use that phrase as a personal slogan for taking life easy and just having fun. When it came time to name his new rock band, ‘Chile Colorado’ seemed like a no-brainer.
‘Chile Colorado’ has been performing in California throughout the summer, including an appearance with Warner Recording Artists ‘The Wild Feathers’ and buzz-band ‘Mary Loves Molly’ at the Folktale Winery in August, selling 500 tickets. The band’s Management Direction has been under consultation with David Bean at BeanBag1.com.More information and links can be found at a href=”http://chilecolorado.com” target=_blank”>www.chilecolorado.com.

“With more hooks than a church cloak room, the songwriting is top notch in its simplicity and Daysel’s execution, both vocally and on the six-string, is delicious and exemplary.” – Get Ready to Rock
Having just released his second album, ‘Blood of a Wolf’, the follow-up to 2016’s debut offering, ‘Shootin’ The Breeze’, Daysel has proven that his music should be mentioned alongside some of the top names in the world of Rock n Roll.
After more than decade of playing countless live shows, running bands, putting on Kiss and classic rock tribute shows to being a hired gun for chart topping artists and international stars, he kicked off his solo career in 2014 travelling all over the country with an acoustic guitar and a small PA system forging his own path. Working as a true DIY musician he has built his brand from the ground up, playing over 150 shows per year, from a small town bar in the middle of nowhere to some of the biggest biker events in Africa.
Vern`s debut album “Shootin` the Breeze” put his music on the map with being featured in Classic Rock Magazine (UK), local TV shows, music blogs, gaining radio airplay in the US, Europe and South Africa as well as signing a European distribution deal with Lions Pride Music. Just like the first album, Daysel wrote, recorded, produced and played all the instruments (except for bass) on the new album.
With Blood of a Wolf, Daysel has delivered his best work to date, creating a ten song album without any fillers that take you on a journey to what his music is all about.
Anyone who loves the southern rocking blues of bands like Blackberry Smoke, Lynyrd Skynyrd, CCR and Aerosmith, can dig this.

Hank Lykins has been a staple on the Indiana Indpeendent Music Scene for quite some time, being the front man for many cover bands. However, it was not until he teamed up with the songwriting duo of Michael “The Metropolitan Cowboy” Coleman and J. Richard Murray that he got the attention of Nashville. His heartfelt performance of the Coleman and Murray ballad, “Take it To Your Grave” received a standing ovation at the Nashville’s BMI Songwriter’s Festival and later a performance of the same song would be done on the local Nashville television show, Nashville On Stage. Wanting not only to be known as a balladeer, Hank again tapped the songwriting duo of Coleman and Murray. This time, the songwriting team came up with the hard rocking, feel good fight anthem, “Showdown”. The song was originally written for country singer Andy Griggs, as his comeback recording, and was courted by Ronnie Van Zandt for one of his albums, but the duo of Coleman and Murray decided that the song was perfect for Hank Lykins as the song speaks to the underdog in all of us.

Have aliens abducted Stan Rose’s guitar, or is his guitar the abductor? Rose isn’t sure, although the strangeness of his musical tastes suggest the former. The only thing certain, as verified by Google, is that there is only one Alien Guitar Abduction!
Rose’s main instrument is guitar, which he obsessed with while growing up on Long Island in the 1980’s. His original plan was to be the world’s fastest guitar god, so he took lessons from Dream Theatre’s John Pettrucci, prior to Petrucci’s rise to legendary status. But then he also immersed himself in everything guitar music was at the time, by taking master classes with fingerstyle legend Martin Simpson and blues artist Robben Ford, and taking classical guitar lessons while in college. This obsession with guitar music led to a greater appreciation of all genres and type of music. It led to Rose’s basic musical philosophy–that there are not ‘good’ or ‘bad’ styles of music–just good and not-so-good music. And so, Alien Guitar Abduction is a rejection of the industry demand that musical style must be pigeon-holed into one or more pre-existing styles or genres.
Once he discovered electronic music, Rose began composing using synthesizers controlled by electric guitar. Electronic compositions were first composed on guitar and then arranged on the computer. This is the basic musical vision of Alien Guitar Abduction–a synthesis of roots music with the current technology of music production. His latest release, “Dead Light” is the byproduct of this vision; an eclectic mix of psychedelic guitar rock and synth-pop. Dead Light also reflects Rose’s idea that images go hand-in-hand with music; every song on the album is also a self-produced music video. The visual message is an equal partner to the audio. The images are meant to pull the listener into one unified mind-altering experience. As a music reviewer from “Yeah we know it sucks” put it: “Alien Guitar Abduction will even abduct the minds of the most conservative musical cynic…”

Sheep’s Power, created by Bruno Sylvestre, is a virtual band. Bruno is a guitarist since since his teens. Working in a home studio following some money he received after having been in a motorcycle accident. He was left paralyzed in the right arm. In his debut he worked with a Fostex R8 and Emagic, the predecessor of Logic Pro.
Now Future, released in 2017 is the second album of the virtual band Sheep’s Power. 10 songs with amazing singers, drummers and saxophonist. Bruno Sylvestre is the main musician. He plays guitars, bass, keyboards. He’s as well the songwriter. This album is pop / rock prog. Influenced by Pink Floyd, Mike Oldfield, Supertramp, Allan Holdsworth.
“This album is about transition. It describes the era of change we might all live in as individual, as community or as humanity. Everything can happen in a bad or a good way. Transition is a change or passage from one state or stage to another. The past is like a Rainbow Trout which flees away. The future is like a breeze, sometimes a storm, in your face. The only thing which seems real is the present but it’s just a subjective perspective caught between the past and the future. But however the present is Now and remains the starting point for the Future.”

Marcy Requist is a singer/songwriter/pianist/voice talent from Iowa. She grew up on a farm in Red Oak, Iowa, the only child of Marvin and Barbara Requist. Her parent’s love of music had a very important influence early in her life. She remembers her father singing, records playing on the console cabinet stereo, and her mom’s guitar as her first memorable sounds. Marcy’s grandmothers also played a vital role in her appreciation for music. Her maternal grandmother had sung and played the guitar in a band, and her paternal grandmother was a pianist who saved money for Marcy to buy her first piano at the age of 6. It’s a Wurlitzer, and to this day is the only piano she has ever owned, and where she does most of her writing.
As a child, Marcy became fond of the human voice while being rocked to sleep by the sweet, soothing melodies of her mother’s beautiful voice, and hearing the deep, rich voice of her father singing along with Jim Reeves records. Lucky to be from an extended musical family, Marcy gained a deep appreciation for song phasing and lyric interpretation from the gorgeous, velvety voice of her Aunt Kathy. With her cousins, Marcy spent many hours around the piano, and in front of the record player practicing and planning “shows” that were graciously attended by other members of the family.
Marcy’s love of singing in a group began as a child in the First Baptist Church choir in Red Oak, Iowa. She remembers her Junior Choir Director, Mrs. Ruth Stevens, telling the kids to “sing like you mean it because you know you DO!” In grade school, she was encouraged to sing and play the piano alone in front of her classmates by her chorus teacher Mrs. Marlys Conrad. This was very helpful in learning to combat stage-fright at an early age. And, from the distinguished leadership of her first band director, Mr. Richard Simpson, she learned how to respect the music, and give rehearsing the dedication it deserved for the best results.
In Jr. High, Marcy met the man who would have the greatest influence on her love of music performance when she became a student of Mr. Larry Mannasmith. He guided Marcy through auditions and contests, directed her in musicals, coached her on singing techniques, and spent countless hours with her and her best friends in school around the baby grand piano in his chorus room singing, and sharing stories. During her pageant years, Larry and his wife Rhonda were a constant source of support.
In 1989, Marcy was able to share her love of music as she traveled as “Miss Iowa USA”. She often sang the National Anthem and performed at a variety of community events and occasions.
Marcy has also sung for a host of charities and fundraisers over the years. Some of these include Children’s Hospital Omaha, Child Saving Institute, Make-A- Wish, American Cancer Society, Arthritis Foundation, Joslyn Art Museum, The Salvation Army, American Heart Association, etc.
It is an honor for Marcy whenever she is invited to be a part of a milestone event in a family. It always amazes her how just the right song choice can mean so much. Whether it’s the union of two hearts through marriage, or bidding a sad farewell to someone gone too soon, she finds music to have incredible powers. It’s either the perfect accompaniment for a celebration, or warm embrace of comfort when saying “goodbye”.
