Rise Rock n’ Shine featuring AJ Smith and Nina Anto. Start your morning with a hook-laden single and a meditative vibe.
You like your sugar with coffee and cream, too? It’s time to Rise Rock n’ Shine… Who: Dear Rouge’s alt-pop is infectious and fun thanks to the duo’s clever union of rock ‘n roll bite with pop kisses. The Vancouver-based band has its sights set on making good music, getting us grooving up and down the house, and rocking out at the club. What: Get your prescribed dose of “Fake Fame” right here. Why: Gritty electric guitar and wispy vocals start your audio journey. Acoustic guitar and vibrant synths puts the song in a meditative place. That contemplative energy gives… Read more »
Slowly the sheen of sweat on foreheads is being replaced by beanies as we move to a much needed autumn. Denver-based Bluprint has the perfect transitionary treat with “Home”, the first single off their upcoming Lost Summer EP. “Home” is a pop-punk jam that hits hard from the beginning and never lets up. Per drummer Taylor, “The song is slammin’ from start to finish. We wanted to keep the energy up through the entire track to drive home the point of the song. It’s a song with strong emotions and we wanted to back that up with a killer instrumental.”… Read more »
Today we give an update on Tanya Fear, talk about BTS collaborating with Coldplay, question Amazon’s technology, and take a look at the new Netflix project Grendel, we give you the Met Gala highlights, and remember Norm Macdonald after he suddenly passed away.
Today we talk about Tanya Fear missing in Los Angeles, Bo Burnham’s first Emmy, and Punk Black’s journey to a new studio in Atlanta.
Coffee is great. Coffee is life. Thank you for coming to my TED Talk. It’s time to Rise Rock n’ Shine… Who: THRILL YOU KILL YOU is an LA-based artist in the purest sense. She writes, produces, and engineers her own genre-fusing brand of music. TYKY brandishes her imperfections and weirdness as an authentic battering ram demolishing the veneer of societal conformity. What: Press play and get this “Hotline” to your headphones! Why: Get into the tense, sexy headspace of “Hotline” with its gurgling bassline, reverberating high-pitched tones, and syncopated drums. The hypnotic vocals drift along the song, sounding as… Read more »
Magic Sugar Coffee opens their brand-new single “Blkout” with a drum-pounding, electric explosion like a caffeine syringe straight to the eyeball. This song epitomizes the definition of their jittery moniker. As it progresses, the strumming and breakdowns hook your early 2000s pop-punk senses. Is that a note of New Found Glory I’m hearing? Maybe a little Red Jumpsuit Apparatus? All of this energy pulses with the hope of mosh pit glory. Per the band, “I guess for us this song feels like a jump back in time. Back to our childhoods and 2000’s pop punk anthems. It’s probably the closest… Read more »
With anti-vaxxers and anti-maskers ruining our chances at a return to “normal” and the Delta variant on the surge, we could all use a little musical catharsis. “The Blur” delivers in a bristly pop-punk way that seems perfectly timed. Northern Colorado’s One Flew West explains, “‘The Blur’ was the first song we wrote and put together after our tour got canceled in March of 2020.” The song bounces from verse to verse with pop hooks and angsty breakdowns wholly capturing a feeling that unfortunately seems to be circling back around. There is a certain type of frustration that is borne… Read more »
