When We Were Young Fest was packed with incredible acts this year, both legendary and brand new. However, there was one band that I was most excited to see, hands down.

As two queer kids growing up in the South, their song “A Walk Through Hell” was an unconventional, yet perfect description our our love and perseverance for each other.… Read more »

Reminiscent of their 2017 hit “Summer Stained,” Broadside has delivered a gut-punch, soul-stirring new single, “Bleu.” The new single shares its namesake’s sentiments with the band’s forthcoming full-length album Hotel Bleu, which will arrive via SharpTone Records on November 10. The heart-rendering track found its inspiration in the personal journey of vocalist Oliver Baxxter and his fiancé, who received the life-altering and devastating news of her breast cancer diagnosis. Baxxter’s deliberate croons, each word charged with the heartfelt anguish the two felt after receiving her diagnosis, are highlighted against a gentle acoustic guitar, only further elevating the emotional depth of… Read more »

Well, for newlyweds Sammi and Adam Seman, their wishes came true. On Friday, October 27, the quartet arrived to a reception at Trout Lake in Pennsylvania, dressed up in matching burnt orange suits.
