Porcelain Clocks releases new EP 'Mirror Is Calling'

The alternative rock ensemble known as Porcelain Clocks have released their long-awaited EP, titled, “Mirror Is Calling.” The EP contains six new, original tracks for a running total of approximately half an hour of listening. This little powerhouse record is a stunning, surprising release for everyone but the ever-growing Porcelain Clocks' fan base, whose numbers been aware of them for months, silently keeping this explosive underground secret to themselves. For the rest of the music world, “Mirror Is Calling” represents an introduction, one akin to shaking hands with a high-voltage power line.

The crew from Enfield, CT (which locale has become a hotbed of alternative and indie music in the last few years) play a style of alternative rock that has elements in common with grunge rockers Stone Temple Pilots, British shoegazers Radiohead, and alternative hardcore band Deftones. However, the overall sound is much, much more related to lesser known, early indie bands such as Cave-In, Piebald, and Sunny Day Real Estate.

Like these great bands of unsung heroes, the volatile aggression of Porcelain Clocks is tempered with infinite patience. The soft, sonic brutality contained in “Mirror is Calling” comes from carefully crafted crescendos that build like tidal waves towering upward for miles, cresting and crashing only after having scraped the sky. Every track is like an emotional workout, yet the Clocks are totally devoid of melodrama. In creating this, the chemistry between the members is not so much a delicate balance as it is the equal strength and interdependence of chained links.

“Music is a passion and a lifestyle for all of us,” writes the Porcelain Clocks. “We have each spent years in the business with various projects. When this opportunity to create came up, it was an easy fit.”

Regarding the themes of the record, they comment, “The album brings together several ideas, both lyrically and musically. Lyrically we incorporate themes of love, loss, change, hope, and even a bit of dirty passion. Musically we bring in influences from indie, 80s, metal, and others. Each of us comes from different musical backgrounds in different genres, which for us was the appeal. Merge all the music we love so much in one ever evolving package. The EP is just a start.”

Upon hearing the album any music fan can tell that this EP is far more than “just” a start. But its inspiring to know that there's even more music like this in store for the audiophiles of the rock world.

“Mirror Is Calling” is available online worldwide beginning late spring 2013.

Sonic Order releases new LP 'Oscillator'

The electronica artist from Indiana known as Sonic Order has released his debut LP, titled, “Oscillator,” to widespread, emphatic praise from fans and critics alike. The record boasts 11 all new, original tracks from Sonic Order, for an approximate running time of 35 minutes. The album is suitable for a variety of listening environments, including but far from limited to personal listening, long drives, or midnight dance floors. It boasts catchy, vibrant melodies and thumping, crashing back beats, as well as the occasional vocal lead. The result is an extremely well polished work of EDM that is easily as excellent as any of the classics from bands like The Chemical Brothers or Crystal Method, and in some respects surpasses them.

The heart of Sonic Order is Ken Ford. Ford grew up with rock 'n' roll, his tastes stretching from classics such as The Doors and Pink Floyd to latter day metal innovators such as Metallica and Tool. According to his official bio, it was the restrictions of the guitar tonality that urged him towards electronica music, the range of which genre is bounded only by the creativity and imagination of the composer, himself.

Of this Ford writes, “Pushing the sonic boundaries and bringing order out of chaos felt like the last frontier in music – and the concept of Sonic Order was born … The concept of Sonic Order is to push the limits of the waves surrounding us by transforming them into mind-bending and heart-melting notes and tones.”

In this his record certainly succeeds in leaps and bounds. His music can evoke seemingly any conceivable emotion, and quite possibly others.

When asked about the possible messages “Oscillator” might communicate to his fans, Sonic Order replies, “I hope they find it revealing. I hope they are motivated by it. I hope that it helps them in their daily lives and to achieve their dreams.”

“Oscillator,” by Sonic Order is available online worldwide beginning late spring of 2013.

Michael Murphy releases debut LP 'Unmade Bed'

The Canadian singer-songwriter known as Michael Murphy has released his debut solo record LP, titled, “Unmade Bed.” The album is traditional music making at its finest, baring true elements of piano jazz, classic rock, pop, and folk. A surprise collection of much genius, “Unmade Bed” is an instant treasure of songwriting that at once publicly introduces and validates Michael Murphy as one of North America's most promising and important contemporary artists.

Michael Murphy's sound on “Unmade Bed” has identifiable characteristics from several of the world's most beloved musicians and songwriters. His songwriting shows the groundbreaking creativity and broad stylistic range of The Beatles, crossed with the smooth tenderness of Simon and Garfunkel and the Vaudeville piano sensibilities of early Elton John. These wonderful songs are penned by himself, sometimes in collaboration with drummer, engineer and producer, Fred Bouchard.

Murphy's vocals – which are shockingly excellent yet still second to the brilliance of his songwriting – have the cadence and lugubrious lilt of R.E.M.'s Michael Stipe. In his melodies the playfulness of Paul McCartney is also present. The result is a gorgeous tone that is reminiscent of Morrissey, though neither aggressive, nor arrogant.

The above qualities are more than enough to win “Unmade Bed” endless, well deserved accolades, and any music fan with an ear for intelligent, delightful music by a uniquely talented artist will be enthralled with Murphy for them. Still, the record has more. For Murphy's first official full-length, he has apparently opted for a slim, mostly unadorned production. No effects trammel his voice, nor add unnecessary frills to his chords. The LP plays out with a natural, live sound as if the performers were in the living room of the hearer, which Murphy and Bouchard have made remarkably simple to imagine.

Regarding the themes of his new record, Murphy writes, “The album explores the human heart through love and its many shapes. There is an underlying thread of hope that no matter what experiences one encounters, one keeps going without becoming jaded.”

“Unmade Bed” by Michael Murphy is available online worldwide beginning spring of 2013.

Rapper A-FS 201-973 releases free album 'Champagne Campaign'

The New Jersey rapper only known as A-FS 201-973 has released his latest album, “Champagne Campaign (The Workin’ Man's Album),” to widespread fan and critical acclaim. To the delight of his fans, who have been following his work for 20 years, the record has been released absolutely free of charge. It is available for download at the music fan's convenience at the sources reprinted below.

“Champagne Campaign” is a solid, heavy-hitting collection of 17 original urban anthems by A-FS 201-973, with high-quality, aggressive melodies, lines, and rhymes, and represents the best work from A-FS to date. His voice is gritty and inimitable, unique, stylish, tough as nails yet poetic and good humored at the same time. As the LP record is entirely free to obtain, to have, and to hear, there remains no reason for the fan of rap and hip hop to miss this excellent work of musical art.

A-FS (whose moniker stands for Alienated From Society) writes lyrics like a street Shakespeare with a fantastic sense of humor. Additionally, he knows what's important in life and does his honest best to rap about topics that matter to today's working man. In this he succeeds tenfold, as well as amuses, entertains, and throws down serious rhythms. In addition to these attributes, “Champagne Campaign (The Workin’ Man's Album)” also features the abundant talents of Gisella, Alphonz, Yung Miss, U.G.G., Dirty Twon, and ST the Specialist.

A-FS names as main artistic influences the likes of legends such as DMX, Ja Rule, Big Pun, Fiend, Petey Pablo, and Ransom. Of these, elements of DMX's work appears the most in A-FS's latest record, though the effects of the others are also present. The album is at least partially a nod to A-FS' own time on skid row, which lasted for a literally homeless seven months on the East Coast.

Speaking of the themes of the record, A-FS says, “Struggle means strength! Just when you think life can’t get no harder, you will be prepared for when it does get harder!”

Rapper Rich Rhoades releases new EP 'Elevated'

The up-and-coming rapper from Detroit, MI, known as Rich Rhoades has released his latest EP, titled, “Elevated.” The record is comprised of six new and original tracks from the artist for an approximate playing time of 25 minutes. His most significant and high quality album to date, “Elevated” by Rich Rhoades is a display of solid performances and picture perfect production, marked by intelligent and amusing songwriting, thumping back beats, and uniquely creative compositions.

Acclaimed out of the gate by critics and fans alike as one of 2013's most excellent hip hop EP records, it is slated by music journalists to become the flagship in Rich Rhoades' growing catalog of releases. It represents a fantastic introduction to new fans, and a reminder to Rhoades fans of old just what got everyone interested in his slamming, straight-up style of rap music to begin with.

The artist, who has since relocated to Los Angeles, CA, originally learned music from his father, a respected jazz musician who taught him piano while his older brother instructed him in rap. By 13 Rhoades was crafting original beats of his own. Before the age of 20 he had grown into a promising producer and rapper of the Detroit underground in his own right, and it was this early success that led him to move to the West Coast with his father in tow.

Since that time he has produced records for The Relativez, as well as for actors Orlando Brown (Major Payne, Family Matters), Marcus Paulk (Moesha, Red Tails, Roll Bounce), Spliff Starr, Rich Boi, Dorrough Muzik, and Glasses Malone, as well as Bizzy Bone of Bone Thugs 'N' Harmony.

He names as main artistic musical influences the likes of legends such as Stevie Wonder, Marvin Gaye, Ray Charles, Dr.Dre, Tupac Shakur, The Notorious B.I.G, Lauryn Hill, R. Kelly, and Michael Jackson.

“Elevated” by Rich Rhoades is available online worldwide beginning spring 2013.

The Smart Kids release new single 'The Enemy'

The Chicago music duo known as The Smart Kids have released their newest single, titled, “The Enemy,” to widespread praise and critical acclaim. Having been officially active since December of 2012, “The Enemy” represents The Smart Kids' first official release and introduction to the music-listening public at large. It is a three-minute track with an incredibly upbeat, danceable and vivacious mood and style, composed mainly with unique, synthesized instrumentation and clean-sounding digital production. Youthful and jubilant female vocals provide lead melody lines over Atari-inspired accompaniment, resulting in a pop tour de force that sounds better and better the louder that it is played.

Though the track is a perfectly delightful debut single, The Smart Kids insist that its style is not likely to be a static one upon which fans can depend from album to album, song to song, or even movement to movement within an individual track.

“This is just a single and is by no means an adequate representation of the style we encompass,” they write. “We make music without walls, without boundaries and without genres. Our music is like Rush Limbaugh in a Tijuana pharmacy during a power outage. It’s all over the place.”

Speaking of what this shifting style might sound like, they suggest, “Neo soul, 80’s synth pop, quasi-industrial, pretty bits of classical… There’s not much that we don’t do, and we’re not afraid to switch it up a bunch in the span of a three minute song.”

A degree of such switching is present in “The Enemy” in the form of some lightly suggested political commentary. The track opens with droning dialogue from George W. Bush, who is suddenly drowned by the positive, one-two beat and optimistic roar of a synthesizer. The song toys with unexpected volume changes and with a variety of vocal effects, as well.

In their current bio, The Smart Kids comment at length on their artistic goals. “If you have ADD, we want to be your one stop shop,” they write. “With music, we think everyone wants to carve out their own niche and have their own thing that separates themselves from the pack. Our goal is to not only do that, but to also separate ourselves from ourselves with every song that we write.”

They consider survival-of-the-fittest to be an accurate model of the contemporary music scene.

“Music today is like Darwinism without an attention span; if you don’t change or adapt, you’re going to paint yourself into a corner with a specific sound that isn’t always going to be the flavor of the week. The landscape is constantly evolving, and we think that shows with the significant rise of one-hit and one-album wonders. Tomorrow is relevant to today, but the inverse couldn’t be further from the truth in terms of music.”

“The Enemy,” by The Smart Kids, is available online worldwide beginning spring 2013.

Reavis Mitchell releases new EP 'Soul Beats Vol. 1'

The mix master and well-known beat genius known as Reavis Mitchell has released his new EP, “Soul Beats Vol. 1,” to widespread fan and critical acclaim. The album is comprised of six all-new, original tracks for an approximate total of 20 minutes' playing time. It has been published on the Distorted Soul Detroit record label. The record is wholly instrumental, with heavy use of percussion as its main draw and groove, but utilizes also such instrumentation as synthesized brass, bass, strings, keys, and more. Its thrilling fifth track, “Outarange,” is alone worth the price of the EP. “Soul Beats Vol. 1” is steeped in the very best elements of hip hop, soul, and funk.

A longtime expert and purveyor of beats, Nashville's Professor Reavis Mitchell (or Rev for short) has been more recently recognized as the co-founder of BKE Technology and an architect of the Beat Thang Mobile Music Production System. Some clients of his Soulbeat Productions have included Sony Music, Coca-Cola, McDonald’s, USA Networks, and many major label as well as independent artists. He names as main artistic influences legendary artists such as J. Dilla, Shock G., Quincy Jones, and Teddy Riley.

When asked about the inherent message “Soul Beats Vol. 1” has to communicate to its hearers, Mitchell writes, “What is 'soul?' Soul is the immortal essence of life. It is the electrochemical element that binds the 'self' to the 'all.'”

He derives particular interest in the overtones and feelings soul evokes, and also in their universal importance on a philosophical, sonic level.

“What does Soul sound like?” he says, “Soul is a deep resonance in your chest that sparks emotion, sets your heart on fire and makes you move. The first volume of the Soul Beats series is a metaphysically engineered collection of soul-infused hip hop and funk instrumentals, formulated to implant a cosmological command into the heart and root chakras: move!”

“Soul Beats Vol. 1,” by Reavis Mitchell, is available online worldwide beginning spring 2013.

R 'n' B singer Wayne Marshall releases new LP '3rd Visit To The Bedroom'

The R 'n' B singer known as Wayne Marshall has released his latest LP record, titled, “3rd Visit To The Bedroom,” to the uniform delight of critics and fans alike. It has been published on the Love Making Music record label. It is comprised of 12 all new and original tracks for an approximate total playing time of 45 minutes. It is a deeply romantic album with intimate themes and erotic undertones, all of which Marshall sings about in his exquisite and precise style over relaxing back beats and the occasional piano.

The evocative title of Marshall's “3rd Visit To The Bedroom” is plainly spoken and suggestive of what the album portends, but it has a deeper, less obvious meaning.

“It raises the question,” Wayne Marshall writes, “if a male player visits the same female’s bedroom three times in a row, does it mean he has quit the dating game and has finally fallen in love?”

Marshall lists as his main artistic influences the likes of legends such as Burt Bacarach, Stevie Wonder, Mavado, R-Kelly, and Bob Marley. Of these, all are exhibited in Marshall's style and writing on “3rd Visit To The Bedroom,” and there is a lightheartedness throughout the record that certainly recalls the high-spirited work of Marley and other such performers. Marshall's previous releases have been far more reggae-inspired, however, “3^rd Visit” being an R 'n' B record of the highest caliber.

Marshall's accolades are many, and read like a shopping list of grand accomplishments. He was 1995's Black Music Award Winner for Best Single, Best Album, Best Newcomer, and Best Male Artist. His 1996 duet with Pauline Henry, “Never Knew Love Like This,” was a Top 40 National hit and no. 15 in the Music Week dance chart, released on Sony Records. “Your G Spot” reached the Top 30 National U.K. list and was number one for 12 weeks in the Urban Street Chart with sales upwards of 80,000. 1995's “Spirit and Slow Grind” was a Top 40 National hit and no.1 on the Urban Street Chart for 3 weeks. Over 50,000 were sold.

Wayne Marshall's reggae career has been storied and remarkably successful as well, but his new R 'n' B album is sure to turn heads around the world.

“3rd Visit To The Bedroom,” by Wayne Marshall, is available online worldwide beginning spring 2013.

Shelia Moore releases new LP record 'Tha Story Told Twice According To Shee Shee Vol.1'

The artist of rhythm 'n' blues gospel music known as Shelia Moore has released her newest LP record, titled, “Tha Story Told Twice According To Shee Shee Vol.1,” to rave critical and fan reviews. The album has been published by the Bdm / Ugroove Music record label. It is comprised of 17 new and original tracks for more than an hour's worth of excellent listening. In addition to Shelia Moore's own gorgeous, sparkling vocals, “Tha Story Told Twice...” also features the towering talents of Liz Vaughn, Shei Atkins, Allegro Adams, and the Knuckle Headz. Moore's music is spiritually inspired, and every song on this, her most spectacular work to date, has its heart and soul in unwavering faith and praise of her Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.

Moore deals with these themes directly and with endless finesse. Her voice is soft, feminine, and guided by her impeccable ear and good taste. Her range is exceeded only by her precision. She is never guilty of being showy, or of oversouling. “Tha Story Told Twice...” stretches over a variety of styles, often utilizing jazz and soul undertones, sometimes dealing in groovy offerings of funk with light smatterings of Motown and disco, and occasionally visiting the hip-hop genre. All in all, the record is exceptional listening, incredibly well orchestrated and produced, and represents a fantastic introduction for the public to this astounding, inspirational singer.

Concerning the topics of her music, Moore herself writes, “Music is a ministry, and it is my ministry.”

Moore's faith cannot be overstated. Her songs have titles such as “Give Praise,” “God Is Love,” and “Call Him,” classic names that could easily appear in any Southern Baptist hymnal. She deals with mature, contemporary and complicated Christian issues in these tracks, however, such as premarital sex, and unwavering faith in the face of seemingly untenable adversity.

She writes her music in collaboration with husband and fellow musician, Glenn “GP” Piper, whose own, ingenious tonal craftsmanship is braided throughout the record.

“As an artist,” Moore writes, I want my music to uplift and inspire. Through the years the sound of gospel music has evolved to speak to new generations; however, the message remains the same: Jesus is the Way, Truth, and Light. It is my desire that all people know Jesus Christ of Nazareth perfects that which concerns us, and to encourage everyone to build a strong spiritual connection to the higher power that is He.”

“Tha Story Told Twice According To Shee Shee Vol.1” by Shelia Moore is available online worldwide.

M.A.C. releases new LP 'Dream'

The music group from Washington state known as M.A.C. have released their newest LP record album, titled, “Dream,” to widespread critical and fan acclaim. It is being released on the Planet 3 Jams record label. “Dream” is comprised of 19 new, original tracks mainly falling in the popular subgenre of electronic dance music called dubstep, though M.A.C. is known for deviating from standard norms when they see fit, resulting in some surprising and delightfully unique compositions. “Dream” is the most significant and anxiously awaited record from M.A.C. to date, and represents an excellent introduction to this ambitious, creative music trio.

M.A.C. stands for Many Are Connected, and is the collaboration of Roc Omega, Andy Cantrell, and Chris S., who are based in Marysville, WA. Their music is characterized by the digitally rendered, industrial overtone and mood that acts as the mainstay of dubstep music, blanketed over aggressive back beats and bass lines that make for excellent dance music, both for personal listening and a club atmosphere.

Regarding the themes of “Dream,” M.A.C. wax poetic. They write simply, “No music, no life. Close your eyes, feel the vibrations, love the feeling.”

This direct relationship with their music is an attribute than runs throughout their new record. M.A.C. is a cult of music worshipers. They revel in their sound. They play in it, live in it. Upon being asked to describe their musical inspirations and main artistic influences, they reply, “Nature, life, the human eardrum, touch, laughter, smiles, and all musical artists and the likes of.”

The album itself is accessible to fans of dubstep and newcomers alike, and is certain to be one of a series of such albums from this up-and-coming powerhouse crew. They promise to publish three additional records in the wake of “Dream.”

“This is our world, so open your mind,” they like to say, meaning that the inhabitants of planet Earth would benefit from a broader understanding of the place we all call home.

“Our goal is only to get the music out,” they write, “to have everyone open their minds and see what they are already a part of. This is our world, it’s time to step inside.”

“Dream” by M.A.C. is available online worldwide beginning spring of 2013.

Rockers Asvatta release debut LP 'Danger! High Noise Levels!'

The good-time rock 'n' roll ensemble known as Asvatta have released their new flagship LP record album, titled, “Danger! High Noise Levels!” The album contains ten new, original tracks for a total running time of approximately 35 minutes' worth of entirely enjoyable rock music played deep in the groove and with a healthy charge of adrenaline. It is the maiden release of Asvatta, who have orchestrated the production of “Danger! High Noise Levels!” without the help or guidance of music industry representatives, resulting in a collection of absolutely independent songs played purely for the sake of their own sound as Asvatta has seen fit.

This sound is more striking than one might think. Asvatta is a powerhouse little trio in the tradition of Nirvana, Grand Funk Railroad, and other bands who have helped to prove that the right chemistry and musical principles can create a sonic wall that will knock a music fan flat. Their actual sound is hard to nail down, however. There are elements of classic rock, glam rock, metal, and pop rock in Asvatta, but really their tones are their own.

Their vocals are raw and excellent (see “3^rd Degree”), their drums solid and driving, their guitars tasteful, soaring, and razor sharp, and as songwriters, their genius is plain to hear. They only record music they'd personally like to listen to, and this seemingly obvious philosophy leads “Danger! High Noise Levels!” to a place music fans will be excited to wind up, as the volume rises and the comic title becomes a literal disclaimer.

Concerning the themes of their record, Asvatta writes, “The album’s lyrics deal with relationships, politics, partying, unrequited love, stalkers, cultural decadence, and the zombie apocalypse.”

Clearly, they have a sterling sense of humor, too.

They name as main artistic influences (respectively) Soundgarden, Stone Temple Pilots, Reef, The James Gang, Styx, Black Sabbath, Rainbow, Deep Purple, AC/DC, Led Zeppelin, The Flys, Dishwalla, The Academy Is, Hot Hot Heat, Joe Satriani, Steve Vai, Matchbox Twenty, INXS, Maroon 5, Disturbed, and White Zombie.

If one can believe it, there is a little piece of every one of these legends in Asvatta, too, and the combination is sensationally delightful, heavy-hitting, and fun, fun, fun. If by the end of the record the listener has not yet fallen in love with this endlessly talented, quirky band, then he or she is invited to visit their official website to view their official LP release video, in which they introduce themselves personally and speak to the public from their couch in the most candid and amusing way imaginable.

“Danger! High Noise Levels!” is available online worldwide beginning spring 2013.

Allegro Worldwide releases new music sampler 'Brown Eyes Riddim'

The music label known as Allegro Worldwide has released their newest music sampler, titled, “Brown Eyes Riddim,” to widespread critical and fan acclaim. The album is comprised of nine original tracks with variously modern reggae styles and tones, all of which follow the theme of a romance, either requited, denied, or having passed on, making for a remarkable compilation with an entirely fascinating, soul-stirring heart.

Each track is based upon a consistent foundation, a chord progression that is universal to each of the other tracks, each song being exactly three minutes and 59 seconds long, for a total of 35 minutes' listening time. Each of these renditions has unique lyrics and unique performances by a different artist, so that the listening experience is fresh and fun from start to finish. It includes “Her Body” by Asher Thomas, “Sweet So” by Mel C, “She Said She's Gone” by King Tappa, “Come Closer” by Valene Nedd, “Crazy Love” by Shadowflow, “Crazy” by Jodian Pantry, “See You” by Kenny, “Empress” by Dwayne John, and “The Greatest” by Shaney Shotti.

All the artists on “Brown Eyes Riddim” are startling talents in their own right. Of especial notice, however, are musicians Asher Thomas, Mel C, Valene Nedd, and Jodian, each of whom is making waves in the Caribbean music underground and mainstream as well, and whom spearhead the record with their fellow excellent artists providing explosive and equally gorgeous additions.

The record is the latest official release from newcomer music label and website Allegro Worldwide and “I Am Allegro,” respectively, the mission statement of which is: “to promote Caribbean music – from fresh faces to icons of West Indian culture – and doing this by presenting relevant material which includes music videos, behind-the-scenes footage, interviews with industry players, and articles about artists and musicians.”

Their new LP “Brown Eyes Riddim” is a blazing success and one that no music fan should do without.

“Brown Eyes Riddim” is available online worldwide beginning spring 2013.

Christian rocker Nick Higgins releases new LP 'No Laughing Matter'

The rock 'n' roll hometown hero known as Nick Higgins has released his debut collection of original songs, titled, “No Laughing Matter.” The record contains eleven new tracks for an approximate total of 43 minutes' worth of high-quality rock music by Higgins, himself. The record is ostensibly an upbeat, immediately enjoyable album with positive overtones and a continuous, catchy groove, but its title bespeaks a more serious intent. It is also a powerful and ambitious charity endeavor on the part of Higgins to raise money and awareness about illicit sex trafficking in the burgeoning black market of human slavery.

In spite of this weighty subject matter – which by no means is the only theme of the record, it being mainly an album of praise songs and material related to the Christian Bible – Higgins manages to make an incredibly lighthearted and delightful set. His youthful and jubilant sense of humor runs rampant throughout the tracks and can easily be observed at any random moment throughout the album. He does not stoop to melodrama, and neither does he take himself too seriously. In fact, the only topics Higgins seems to take seriously at all are his Lord the Christian God, and his personal crusade against slavery, yet even in these his earnestness and clever songwriting allow him to have an awful lot of fun doing so.

He names as main artistic influences the likes of Foo Fighters, Weezer, Lenny Kravitz, and Captain Geech & The Shrimp Shack Shooters, all of whom exhibit elements to be found in his own music, particularly the pop style of song composition and certain similar guitar tones.

Regarding his mission, he writes in his own likeable, personable voice, “This album is 100% to raise money and awareness about human sex trafficking. I had often heard about human trafficking, but didn’t think much about it until I saw the movie 'Taken.' I thought, 'There is no way that stuff is really going on, right?' After doing some research I found that 27 million people are currently under forced slavery right now. I wanted to do something. I do not 'possess a special set of skills' like Liam Neeson’s character in the movie, and I can’t single-handedly take down a trafficking ring. I’m a horrible shot.

But, I had a bunch of church songs I had been planning to record, and decided to record this album and give all the proceeds to an organization that fights human sex trafficking.”

The actual production of the record is surprising to learn about, also, when one considers the high quality of the the finished product.

“I played all the instruments on this album and recorded just about everything in the morning hours between 6-8am. It was a sacrifice, but well worth it.”

In summing up his aims with “No Laughing Matter,” Higgins proclaims in his absolutely serious, yet characteristically jovial way, “Something must be done to fight this great injustice!”

“No Laughing Matter” by Nick Higgins is available online worldwide beginning spring 2013.

Singer-songwriter Rick Slinkard releases new single 'I Feel Your Heart'

The singer and songwriter from San Diego, CA, known as Rick Slinkard has released his latest single, titled, “I Feel Your Heart.” The song is an intensely heartfelt track that reaches out to the persons who have been affected by the torments of war around the world. It is a ballad of romance set against a tragic background of modern catastrophe that brings tears to the eyes and a knot in the throat. It is also a declaration of the triumph of the human spirit that prevails in times of chaos and destruction to lift love, life, and undying mutual affection to heights no worldly machinations can pursue.

The song itself is composed for piano and vocals with string accompaniment, and features in addition to Slinkard's own warm, natural singing voice the talents of Astra Kelly, who plays a charming role in the success of the song. An instrumental version of “I Feel Your Heart” is also available.

Speaking firsthand of the themes that guide the single, Slinkard writes, “'I Feel Your Heart' is about the romantic love found in a young couple who find themselves pulled apart by the trauma of war. It will resonate with a first responder or military family.”

Though this may seem like dark pretenses for a love song, Slinkard's is not a pessimistic track at all. He continues, “I believe that true love endures separation and even death. It provides hope for eternal life. 'I Feel Your Heart' may be played at weddings, funerals and offer comfort to families.“

Sheet music for his song has also been made available.

Slinkard names as main artistic influences legends such as The Beatles, Fleetwood Mac, Bonnie Raitt, and Ray LaMontagne. He dropped out of high school to tour with his band, but ended up with a master's degree in MFT psychology, anyhow. His personal history with warfare informs his decision to write “I Feel Your Heart.”

“My dad survived two airplane crashes in WWII,” he says, “and my older brother, the Vietnam War. 'I Feel Your Heart,' was just a tune in my head for 10 years. I found myself singing it on walks, from deep inside my soul. I took a picture of my 90-year-old mother listening to the song for the first time wearing headphones, and I honor her with the cover photo. I hope it will comfort you, as well.”

“I Feel Your Heart,” by Rick Slinkard, is available online worldwide beginning spring 2013.

Tripple Los releases new LP 'Off the Rock'

The artist known as Tripple Los has released his newest LP album, titled, “Off the Rock,” on the Pinky N Thumb Entertainment record label. The record consists of seven all new and original Tripple Los tracks, including a radio remix of the single, “That Way,” which closes the record. Besides the artist, himself, “Off the Rock” also features the talents of Kahnma, Sister Lubei, Billy Blue, and longtime Los friend and collaborator, Tha Happ. It has an approximate playing time of 25 minutes' worth of excellent, island-inspired rap music of a kind no one at all could have produced on the mainland.

Tripple Los is a rapper based in Hawaii, giving his music a powerful undercurrent of good vibrations beneath a layer of urban poetry that could otherwise have come from Chicago or Detroit. In fact, Los was born in Fayetteville, North Carolina, but has been on the Pacific islands for quite some time. His personal history is reflected in the themes of his record.

“My message is simple,” he writes. “[My album is about] real life, and good-feeling music coming from out the middle of the Pacific . I live in Oahu, so for my album I wanted to give out a positive, yet edgy vibe and feeling!”

In these goals Tripple Los has surpassed himself. The heavy-hitting rap lines and back beats are decorated with optimism that only islanders experience on a daily basis. Even the name of the album's record label, “Pinky N Thumb,” may be derived from a local island tradition called the “shaka” or “hang loose” hand signal, which Wikipedia states is commonly used to communicate the “aloha spirit.”

Los, who writes all of his own music, first released a debut mixtape in 2010, titled, “Reflectionz,” which featured Keith Murray and Drew Deezy, being hosted by DJ Smokey Bear and recognized on the popoular music blog, “Dat Piff.”

He was later nominated by the 2012 Na Hoku Hanohano Awards for Best Hip Hop Artist of the Year. This was the first year the category had been instituted, and Tripple Los names it among his proudest achievements to date, though with the publishing of his latest, greatest release, “Off the Rock,” chances are that his nomination will surely become the award, itself, in very short time.

The excellent and remarkable title, “Off the Rock” by Tripple Los, is available online worldwide beginning spring 2013.

Hazel Holiday releases new single 'Hollywood Feat. Lil D'

The young singer and songwriter of pop music known as Hazel Holiday has released her newest single track, titled, “Hollywood Feat. Lil' D” on Tommy’s Black Label Records. The song is a jovial, upbeat, sleek and stylish pop track in the same catchy tradition of female pop stars originally made famous by women like Madonna and Mariah Carey. Hazel Holiday's own sound is her own, however, with a sharp, excellent voice and a shadowy, dusky undertone that belies her remarkable youth. The up-and-coming performer is only 14 years old.

This youth would not be heard or known if it were not spoken of, as her music does not sound one whit below the excellence of today's top performers and producers. In addition to singing, she is capable of playing guitar and keyboard. Her writing is ingenious, her singing picture perfect, and her themes do not reflect the shallow, insipid sort of fodder other young singers have filled their music with in the past. In fact, the topics explored in “Hollywood...” are rather mature.

“My single is just an expression of a feeling, you know?” writes the chanteuse, herself. “The one you get when you get that high score in a game, or do something awesome that means something to you, but you just can't explain it? Well, I just put it to a concept that I felt to be universal in its message, and as far as the album goes, I’m still working out all of my emotions…” In closing, Hazel Holiday lets her junior status show through, just a little. “LOL,” she writes, “after all I’m only 14…”

Hazel Holiday's debut single, “Hollywood Feat. Lil' D,” is available online worldwide beginning spring 2013.

Calling All Astronauts releases new LP 'Post Modern Conspiracy'

UK alternative rockers Calling All Astronauts have released their latest LP title, “Post Modern Conspiracy.” The album sports 14 new, original tracks for a running total of approximately 50 minutes' playing time, making for a very comprehensive rock record. The sound of “Post Modern Conspiracy” takes nods from several rock subcultures, most notably the Goth-industrial scene and post-punk movements, though Calling All Astronauts has a sound all their own. The record is a shadowy, high-octane, dancefloor-friendly collection of anthems, songs which rock, roll, and blast from speakers with the power of Panzer blitzkriegs.

Shockingly, this volatile chemical combination is the result of merely three musicians from London, David B. (vocals, keyboard, digital instrumentation), J. Browning (guitar), and Kristi Bury (bass). Their sound takes elements from myriad post-punk and industrial groups to concoct something new and upbeat, which results in a fun and intelligently violent sound that recalls bands like the Sisters of Mercy, New Order, NiN, and The Prodigy. Not unlike many bands of that underground ilk, Calling All Astronauts is music set to brilliantly penned lyrics. Their songs are filled with relevant social commentary, a poignant sense of humor, and a healthy disrespect for authority. They are more than mere adrenaline – and though their verve would have been enough – songs by CAA are often worth thinking about.

Calling All Astronauts have recently been performing with resurrected legends such as Pop Will Eat Itself and Echo and the Bunnymen, with which bands they are extremely well paired. Their placement on ReverbNation's Alternative Music Chart has consistently stayed at No. 1 for weeks on end. Their radio play has reached the US, Canada and Brazil in the Americas, as well as Poland, South Africa, and Australia. British stations such as BBC 6Music, Q, Amazing! Phoenix and Bloodstock Radio have also been spinning Calling All Astronauts, and they have also been featured on Ireland’s RTE 2XM.

This excellent LP by these early standout favorites of alternative rock music is sure to become the foundation of a long list of such excellent records, but there's no reason for a music fan to wait.

“Post Modern Conspiracy” by Calling All Astronauts is available online worldwide beginning spring 2013.

Krusho releases new single 'Need Your Love'

The reggae artist known as Krusho has released his newest single track, titled, “Need Your Love.” The track is a burning hot dance song with sunny, feel good vibes and a grooving bass line. Krusho's own brand of reggae is written in the old school tradition and sounds like happiness transformed into sound. The single is Krusho's most significant official release to date, one that is sure to be followed by a new uprising of Krusho listeners.

The tone and theme of “Need Your Love” are closely intertwined, being a fun and romantic tromp through a blooming relationship on the verge of marriage and a wedding night, etc., but the theme is not necessarily as important to the track as the mood. The mood is lighthearted and carefree, and though the title might suggest melodrama, there certainly is none. It is merely a delightful story of wooing, island style.

Krusho, himself, says of the song that it's meaning is one of, “Feel good island vibes. One love, bless and respect. Always stay positive and you will prosper in all life has to offer.”

He claims as main influences many of the titanic legends of reggae music, at the head of which stand reggae's royal family. He lists them in his own order, “Bob Marley, Ziggy Marley, Stephen Marley, Damien Marley, Fiji, Jboog, Common Kings, Brownhill, Matisyahu, and Inner Circle.”

Krusho's history in music has been a colorful one. Born and raised on the beautiful islands of American Samoa in the South Pacific, he began as a musician as a singer in his church choir. Having moved to California for college, he began making reggae and polynesian reggae music, and released his first full-length record, titled, “Feel Good Island Music” in February of 2013.

February 25th 2013 Krusho released his LP ”Feel Good Island Music.”

“I have no intention of stopping there, though,” says the artist in his official bio, “so keep your eyes and ears open. There is plenty more to come!”

WORLD5 to release new single 'Maybe There's a Way' June 18

WORLD5 will release their newest single, titled, “Maybe There's a Way,” to widespread critical and fan acclaim June 18, 2013. The track is the second single from their upcoming LP release, due out in fall of 2013. “Maybe There's a Way” comes hot on the heels of their popular single track, “Man of Action,” which debuted in March of this year and immediately shot to the National Top 100 Airplay Chart.

“Maybe There's a Way” is unlike “Man of Action” in terms of tempo and groove, being a mellower romantic ballad in the tradition of artists like Phil Collins, Sting, and Yes, whereas “Man of Action” recalls the clean-channel, poppy orchestra rock of 80s favorite, Joe Jackson (“Is She Really Going Out With Him”). Where “Man of Action” stood up and shouted, “Maybe There's a Way” leans in and croons. It is a heartfelt, touching song with hints of country around its edges and rock 'n' roll in its great, big heart.

As usual, the flawless, earnest singing of Grammy Award winner Pat Hunt claims much of the song's spotlight. The soaring lead guitar work of Steffen Goeres is gloriously clarion and prominent. Fellow Grammy winner Randy Miller's bass is precise and flowing, in perfect harmony with drummer Raimund Breitfeld's subtle power, the keys lay way back and create a curtain of delicate sound against which everything else stands out.

In other words, WORLD5 has recorded another spotless, almost painfully perfect single. “Maybe There's a Way” manages to be sad and strong at the same time, powerful and genteel, a work of great artistry with rock and roll as a canvas and classic rock sensibilities for a paint palette. Viewed as a pairing with “Man of Action,” “Maybe There's a Way” continues to prove that music fans of the world have much to look forward to with WORLD5's forthcoming full-length album. With any luck, they won't have to wait long.

“Maybe There's a Way” by WORLD5 is available online worldwide 18 June 2013.

Soulbound Riders releases new EP 'Get My Life Together'

The phenomenon of hard rock known as the Soulbound Riders have released their new EP record, titled, “Get My Life Together.” The album is comprised of five original tracks for an approximate total of 30 minutes' worth of listening, making for a comprehensive EP release just short of a full-length title. This is a round introduction to the high-octane, new music group, one that paints the Soulbound Riders as a surprisingly prolific creative force, as well as a shockingly hardcore crew of hard rock with elements of metal and grunge thrown in.

“The album is mostly energetic hard rock,” the Soulbound Riders write of their debut EP, “with the single being a little slower.”

The title track, “Get My Life Together,” is mainly gorgeous acoustic guitar work and stunning vocals that recall the work of Layne Staley (Alice in Chains) and Axl Rose (Guns 'n' Roses), though Soulbound's lead vocals are arguably better than either of these legendary singers. It is the first track on the record, and sets a profound, gorgeous tone that pours out like gasoline into a small room, which is then sparked to roaring flame by the tracks that follow. Drums pound like pistons, the bass thrums and hums way out front, like the work of Filter or Clutch. Soulbound's guitars shred like whirling blades. The combination is explosive chemistry, and they're writing material faster than a hack journalist.

Soulbound Riders comment candidly on this aspect of their music, saying, “['Get My Life Together'] is a representation of two people who met through their passion for music, and over eight months wrote over 20 songs, all very different from one other.”

The secret to their songwriting lies in raw, untrammeled honesty. “We weren't trying to be anything, we just wrote whatever came out of us. The single was written and recorded on the spot in half an hour, with some minor touches added later. The EP is music written from the heart. It is a representation of what we were feeling at the time the song was written.”

“Get My Life Together” by the Soulbound Riders is available online worldwide beginning spring 2013.
