Music distributor MondoTunes announces exclusive Internet radio station

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE –

The music distribution company known as MondoTunes LLC has announced their exclusive Internet radio station, MondoTunes radio. The station will be hosted by MondoTunes and showcase only those artists who have been distributed by MondoTunes worldwide. The station, which is slated for a release in December of 2013, will be the first of its kind to expose musicians directly from their online music distribution company, rather than from music outlets and traditional, DJ-hosted radio programs.

An official short video has been released by the company for public viewing here.

“Our primary goal is to expose our artists’ music to not just new fans, but also our vast network of industry participants,” the official MondoTunes site states. “These include licensing supervisors, major label A&R representatives, national and international booking agents, and artist management firms.”

As the only global music distributor who provides advertisement and professional marketing for their artists, MondoTunes has been quickly surpassing other online distribution companies such as CD Baby and TuneCore to become the favorite of signed and unsigned artists worldwide. Now with the advent of their innovative MondoTunes radio station, artists will garner more visibility than has been previously available to them through official channels, their options having been limited to self-promotion through sites such as YouTube and SoundCloud.

MondoTunes artists will be able to place their music in circulation on MondoTunes Radio for 3.99 USD per month, and will keep 100% of their rights and ownership, as has been Mondo's policy since their inception. Artists played on MondoTunes Radio will receive real-time statistics for their plays, such as daily and monthly numbers, and how many times their tracks have been marked “favorite” by listeners. Links will be provided on the radio to featured music for purchase.

MondoTunes Exclusive Radio will become available for public listening December 2013 / January 2014.

Alternative rockers Butterfly on a Bullet release Xmas singles “Silent Night” and “O Holy Night”

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE –

The alternative rockers known as Butterfly on a Bullet have released two new seasonal singles, “Silent Night” and “O Holy Night.” The singles come hot on the heels of their debut official release, “Let's Fly,” the first song to be published from their upcoming EP record. Each of these have been published on the CircleXProductions music record label. While the style of “Let's Fly” is entirely different from these two new Christmas tracks, “Silent Night” and “O Holy Night” prove beyond any feasible doubt that Butterfly on a Bullet are musicians of staggering musical ability and impeccable musical taste.

Being a troupe of guitarists, all, Butterfly on a Bullet emphasize their stringed skills in their arrangement of “Silent Night.” The considerable talents that continue to bring popular attention to their “Let's Fly” single emerge in entirely new forms for “Silent Night.”

“We wanted this song to feature the guitarists of Butterfly on a Bullet,” they write. “In fact, the guitar solo in the instrumental is played by our bassist, Chris, rather than our lead guitarist, Will. 'Silent Night' has such a beautiful, soothing melody, and almost sings as a lullabye. We wanted to keep true to this beauty and create a smooth, melodic blend of acoustic and classical guitars, and vocals with simple harmonies.”

These compositional choices bespeak a great, unfeigned refinement on the part of each member of Butterfly on a Bullet, a refinement which appears in all of their recordings but which is a key factor in the clarion beauty of “Silent Night.” As may be apprehended, this finesse is also omnipresent in their rendition of “O Holy Night.”

Butterfly on a Bullet's “O Holy Night” is enrapturing, enthralling, arresting and awe-inspiring. It mainly features Butterfly lead singer, Nicole, which stylistic decision on the part of the band was deliberate and, as the result proves, ingenious.

“She loves to create harmonies and instruments with her voice,” write Butterfly on a Bullet. “With our full-rock sound, we have to compromise on heavy background vocals. If you listen carefully, you can hear them, but we try to make sure they leave room for the other instruments to shine. However, for 'O Holy Night,' we told our lead singer to feature herself. We told her to compose an a capella arrangement in which she sang every part. So she did. She sang what ended up being a total of 168 individual vocal tracks.”

After hours of mixing and adroit studio manipulation (none of which involve disingenuous engineering shortcuts – the performer's skill is clearly masterful) “O Holy Night” appeared in this truly sublime, audibly glowing incarnation.

“We had no idea what to expect,” they write, “and we can’t say we’ve heard anything quite like this before: a classic Christmas song arranged and sung by a choir of one person.”

Indeed, the track is undeniable. Like the great cathedrals in which the song is often sung, it is an example of the very finest art of which humanity has proven capable.

“Silent Night” and “O Holy Night” by Butterfly on a Bullet are available online worldwide.

“We hope you enjoy, and we wish you a Merry Christmas!”

• Chris, Ervin, Will and Nicole of Butterfly on a Bullet

Abbi-K releases debut LP record 'H.A.R.D.'

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE –

The performer, singer and songwriter of gospel music known as Abbi-K has released her long-awaited debut LP record album, titled, “H.A.R.D.,” to widespread critical and fan acclaim. The album has been released on the increasingly popular record label based in New York, Stile Records. It follows close on the heels of the first single to be published from the album, “Happily Ever After,” which appeared in late October and which was the first glimpse of Abbi-K for many of her new fans.

The new album, “H.A.R.D.,” is comprised of 15 original songs (including one extended remix) for an approximate total listening time of over an hour, making for a remarkably comprehensive treatment of Abbi-K's material and a round perspective of her rapidly growing repertoire.

Abbi-K's sound is rooted in her Caribbean upbringing, but blended also with elements of hip hop, rock 'n' roll, and pop music. A musical autodidact who writes her own music, she cites as main artistic influences such legends of reggae and R 'n' B as John Legend, Lauryn Hill and Israel Houghton. She was first officially introduced to the world with her 2009 EP record album, “Beginnings.”

The themes of Abbi-K's “H.A.R.D.” (Heaven's Advocates Riding Didactically), as may seem clear, are Christian in nature and belong to the mainstream genre of gospel music. Still, the anagram of the album title is perfectly suited to her musical style, which is often up-front, direct and audacious, not unlike the singer and pop performer, Pink.

Her precise and powerful natural singing voice remains the most ostentatious of her many musical charms, and she has been known for many years as a chanteuse capable both of great power and great delicacy. In addition to her spectacular singing ability, Abbi-K is proficient as a keyboardist, drummer, and guitar player.

“H.A.R.D.” by Abbi-K is available online worldwide.

Team VSR releases new single 'The Fall'

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE –

The composers of electronic music known as Team VSR have released their latest single, titled, “The Fall.” The track is a shadowy electro song that blends attributes of post-industrial and drum 'n' bass music with elements of dubstep, and which features the talents of VSR friend, Mimi Wallman. It has been released on the Edgin Entertainment music label. “The Fall” is the most significant Team VSR single to be released in recent months, and has already been turning heads in the EDM underground for being a new and unique spin on what has come to be one of the world's most popular modern music genres.

Team VSR's “The Fall” is notable in that it marries the dubstep sound to far darker emotions than are typically found in EDM music.

“The live performances are more exercises in aggression release than glow sticks and pacifiers,” reads their official artist's bio. “Playing their songs through guitar amps and creating walls of sound that only Phil Spector could have dreamt of in his studio, Team VSR take electronic music to a new level, a level of visceral appeal and catharsis unlike anything experienced outside of the metal genre and definitely not felt in electronic music in general.”

This innovative, sharp edge to their feel comes from some surprising musical inspirations. Team VSR cite as main artistic influences such punk-rock and hardcore acts as Black Flag, the Exploited, and Youth of Today, as well as old-school geniuses of the electronic, nee “techno,” sound, such as the KLF (“3AM Eternal”) and the Orb (“Little Fluffy Clouds”). Stir in the power and darkness of digital soundscapers such as Lustmord and industrial-metal legends, GodFlesh, and the result is very near to Team VSR's signature tone.

Myriad and mysterious are the themes of their new single, perfectly suited to the foreboding mood of their music.

“'The Fall,'” write VSR, “is based on a loose concept of dark ritual, more than anything. The lyrical content leads to the internal dialog between ourselves to embrace the safety of being alone and in the dark. We sometimes find ourselves almost suffocating when we cannot see or understand limits, and finding peace within that chaos is something that interests me.”

“The Fall” by Team VSR is available online worldwide.

Johannes Linstead releases new single 'Christmas Is Near!'

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE –


The famed Latin guitarist known as Johannes Linstead has released his latest single, an original seasonal song, titled, “Christmas Is Near!” The Christmas single has been released under Linstead's new musical appellation, Johannes Linstead Classical Works, and is the first of many new titles to be published by the composer under the title. In addition to the uncanny and myriad musical skills of Linstead himself, “Christmas Is Near!” also showcases the talents of Ondyena Oshyn, Krystal Ford, Maleigha Ford, and Ethan Ford. It is a Christmas song written in the classic American tradition, one very close to the Linstead household's heart.


“'Christmas Is Near!' is a song I wrote several years ago to spread Christmas cheer at our large gatherings during the holidays,” writes Linstead. “The lyrics are very reminiscent of the old-time Christmas songs we heard growing up.”


“Christmas Is Near!” is singularly important for longtime fans of Johannes Linstead, also, as it represents a shift from the Latin and world-music genres for which he has become famous, into that of classical music, the kind of music to which he grew up listening.


“Though I’m known for my releases of world / Latin music, this song is a departure for me as it reveals my more 'classical' side. I’ve composed several hundreds of classical works which I hope to release over the coming years, which is why I am branding this release under 'Johannes Linstead Classical Works' rather than just 'Johannes Linstead.'”


Linstead's music has placed in Billboard's coveted Top Ten, has earned no fewer than six Best Album awards, and has garnered him the Canadian Smooth-Jazz Awards' Guitarist-of-the-Year title. He is a Yamaha Influential Artist and has endorsed Yamaha of America's classical line of guitars. He is well-known for his spiritual and humanist nature, and infuses his compositions with principles of both.


“I am not particularly fond of the concept of countries, borders and the separation of people,” he writes in his official bio. “My music is a way to cross those barriers because of its universality.”


“Christmas Is Near!” from Johannes Linstead Classical Works is available online worldwide beginning 29 November 2013.

Terry Hackett releases new LP 'One Over Eighty'

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE –


The singer and songwriter known as Terry Hackett has released his debut solo LP album, titled, “One Over Eighty.” The record is comprised of nine original tracks for an approximate total listening time of 40 minutes. It is the most significant release by Hackett, himself, though he has been playing drums and working in music studios for many years. A record with myriad facets and cultural attributes, “One Over Eighty” by Terry Hackett is a record boasting gorgeous, unique instrumental and pop compositions alike.


Hackett cites as main artistic influences whole genres, each of which are to be heard clearly and well pronounced in his album: rock, pop, traditional Irish, electronic, world music and classical. The record flows from one to the next seamlessly, and attributes of each dovetail with those of the others. Over the entire recording, like a lens through which to view it, he has wrapped his album in a crystal valise of sound production that brings his highly personal and individualistic style into flawless focus.


That the high production value of his debut record should factor so pertinently in the resulting tone of his music makes sense, as Hackett has been working as a sound engineer since 1988, when he was first hired by Sun Recording Studios in Dublin, Ireland. Over the years he has lent his talents to scores of popular and successful recording artists, not only as an engineer, but also as a programmer, producer and session drummer.


Speaking of the themes of his new record, Hackett writes, “'One Over Eighty' is a very personal musical journey covering a period in my life of huge emotional upheaval. It includes a wide range of human emotions and experiences including sadness, loss, love, guilt, tragedy, hope, fear, betrayal, forgiveness and redemption.”


Interestingly enough, the mood of the album is upbeat, warm, and uniformly beautiful. Its moments of relative gloom are fleeting and spare. One can sense the subliminal presence of friendly people in Hackett's tracks, as if one were sharing the experience with humanity in general.

“Writing and producing the album helped me through [this dark] period in a cathartic sense,” he explains. “I didn’t consciously intend there to be a message contained in the album, but being asked the question, I guess the message is that we struggle, we endure, we make mistakes, we fear, we hurt, and we hurt others – but if you face your fears, you can set yourself free from all of the above or at least get on the right path to freedom.”


Terry Hackett sings in the largest Irish choir (RTE Philharmonic Choir) regularly performing classical choral works in Ireland's National Concert Hall. He currently teaches sound engineering and music production full time.


“One Over Eighty” by Terry Hackett is available online worldwide beginning 29 November 2013. Get in early.

The Velvet Ants release new LP 'Solt Olio'

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE –

The alternative rock musicians known as Velvet Ants have released their third official studio album, titled, “Solt Olio.” The record is comprised of 12 original tracks for an approximate total listening time of 45 minutes. It has been released on the Zeptune Records music label. A comprehensive collection of Velvet Ants material, “Solt Olio” is both an excellent introduction for audiophiles not yet introduced to the band and a reassertion of the innate, natural greatness Velvet Ants fans have been aware of since their inception in 2006.

The sound of “Solt Olio” hearkens to the early '90s sound of alternative-rock bands who were not playing the grunge music that came to dominate the category for many latter-day listeners. Velvet Ants, themselves, cite as main artistic influences such groups as the Police, Nirvana, Smashing Pumpkins, Beach Boys, the Cars, Stone Temple Pilots, the Beatles, Weezer, and the Breeders. Interestingly enough, it is the Breeders who share the most easily recognized sonic elements with Velvet Ants.

Contemporary audiophiles might pigeonhole Velvet Ants as post-punk music, however, which is a non-standard music subgenre categorized by unadorned studio production, a rejection of studio special effects (such as autotuning), and the occasional one-two beat.

“Made it a point to make sure things weren’t over-produced,” Velvet Ants write of this.

They describe the themes of “Solt Olio” as, “An intimate collection of songs across a spectrum of punk, dance and alternative. A story within a story. Rock poetry. Non-pretentious, speaks-for-itself music.”

All of these punk-rock principles help to make “Solt Olio” a record with texture, octane, and emotion without melodrama. Intelligent, groovably danceable and consistently fun, Velvet Ants' third official LP is an undeniable success that fans of bands such as the Pixies, Sonic Youth, and Pavement will be enthusiastic to discover.

“Solt Olio” by Velvet Ants is available online worldwide beginning 1 December 2013. It follows close on the heels of the re-release of their newly remastered debut LP, “Lunatic Frame.” Alternative music fans should get in early.

Rapper Alex Sawyer releases new single 'Relapse'

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE –



Multi-genre singer, songwriter, rapper and producer Alex Sawyer has released his debut single, titled, "Relapse.” The single is the most eagerly anticipated and first official release from Sawyer to date, and stands to place him among the most popular singer-songwriters in the contemporary world of music. A track that mixes traditional urban poetry with elements of R 'n' B and electronica, Alex Sawyer's "Relapse" is accessible by music fans of many genres.

Sawyer is largely known for his screen personality. He has been acting since the age of 9 and writing music since the age of 11. He garnered international fame for his role as Alfie Lewis on Nickelodeon's popular TV series, "House of Anubis,” which aired in 24 countries over the globe.In addition to Sawyer's own skills, “Relapse” features the considerable talents of singer/songwriter Tasie Lawrence. Lawrence was previously a member and lead songwriter in the Universal Island signed band, WooWoos, before deciding to take a deeper interest in her acting career and a more independent path in music.

"Relapse" stands out among many other popular tracks in the rap genre in that its themes surround a commentary on the negative aspects of western society and are less focused on the hedonistic urban lifestyle. Its feel is brisk, cool and classy, with melodies that do not obstruct Sawyer's rapping and beats that emphasize bass lines in a way that is more complex than is usual in hip hop. These bass lines are very much a leading force in the song, not merely an accessory to the kick drum. "Relapse" is a track that is certain to please fans of traditional rap, R 'n' B, hip-hop, house music, and other sub-genres of EDM.

Alex Sawyer's multicultural ancestry is perhaps part of his diverse style and sound. He is Ghanaian, Finnish and English, and was born in Kent, England. His artistic interests are likewise mixed. Sawyer is currently living in England, however frequently spends time moving between London and Los Angeles to work on his music, acting, as well as filmmaking endeavours.

"Relapse" (featuring Tasie Lawrence) is available online worldwide beginning 27 November 2013.

Luke Underhill releases new EP 'Back to November'

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE –

The singer-songwriter known as Luke Underhill has released his latest EP, titled, “Back to November.” The album is comprised of six original songs for an approximate total listening time of 20 minutes. The record is Underhill's most anticipated and significant official release since his 2012 debut, a CD intended primarily as a press kit, titled, “Introducing Luke Underhill.” “Introducing...” is a solo, acoustic record containing six cover songs and three Underhill originals that jump started his fledgling music career, and which proved in short order that the entertainer would no doubt be forthcoming with more.

Underhill cites as main artistic influences such artists as Jason Mraz and John Mayer, though he considers Bruce Springsteen, Ed Sheeran and Coldplay to be the main influences on his writing style. Elements of all these are easily noted in the mood and tone of Underhill's music. His chord progressions often invoke the patterns of '80s rock and contemporary pop music.

Interestingly enough also, though attributes of their infamous sound do not appear in work by Luke Underhill, Australian rockers AC/DC figure somewhat prominently in his personal music history.

“I was watching an AC/DC concert DVD when I was 8,” Underhill relates, “and watching Angus Young having so much fun made me want to learn how to play the guitar. The first song I learned from my music teacher was T.N.T.”

As may be intuited from his listing Jason Mraz and John Mayer as favorite musical acts, Underhill's lyrical themes are interpersonal and often romantic in nature.

He comments on the meanings inherent in “Back to November,” “One of the most important things in life, is having a good, trustworthy, and strong relationship with someone in this world. Everyone deserves to be loved, everyone deserves to be cared for, everyone deserves to be happy.”

Underhill was born in 1995 in Chicago, IL, adopted by his parents at birth, and raised in Yorkville. His sister, also adopted, is little more than two months younger. His “Back to November” record is the first in a series of three EP records he intends to publish in the coming months.

“Back to November” by Luke Underhill is available online worldwide beginning 28 November 2013.

Ryan and Fi release new single 'Song for Luke'

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE –

The musical duo known as Ryan and Fi have released their latest single, “Song for Luke.” The single is in memoriam of singer Ryan's brother, Luke who died tragically while climbing last year. “Song for Luke” is the most significant official release from Ryan and Fi in recent months and will be followed by another single, “Well Together” on December 10^th. “Song for Luke” is a work of great humanity and beauty in equal parts, undeniably moving music that seizes the listener at once and caresses rather than plucks the heartstrings. It is some of the most heartfelt, genuine songwriting ever composed.

Ryan and Fi is the professional stage name of Ryan and Fiona, who have been playing in the Australian music underground throughout Sydney for ten years in various ensembles. Their current incarnation as a duo, Ryan and Fi, is gaining traction in its third year. They cite as main artistic influences such songsmiths as The Beatles, Leonard Cohen, Bob Dylan, Elton John, Coldplay, Katy Perry and Pink.

Of these, Ryan's songwriting style and vocal timbre is reminiscent of Elton John, Leonard Cohen, and Bob Dylan, also – truly, elements of all three are easily distinguished in Ryan's own, unique style. The delicate precision of both Ryan and Fi’s voices is often startling, sometimes even bewildering in their sheer perfection. This is not to suggest that they sound mechanical, however. In fact, they melt into their music until one forgets that they are performing it.

The lyrical content of “Song for Luke” is not gloomy. It is a peaceful assertion of one's connection to all things from a natural perspective, not unlike the transcendentalist works of poets like Ralph Waldo Emerson and Walt Whitman. Ryan declares the happy presence of his brother in the wind and the trees. Neither is “Song for Luke” a work of catharsis. It is very simply Ryan's explanation to the world that, clearly, life is omnipresent and death is not at all.

“Its main message is one of hope, love and letting go,” write Ryan and Fi. It is Ryan and Fi’s hope that this song can help others who have been through similar experiences to better deal with the pain of loss. It also includes the message of life after death and that loved ones are still there, only in a different sense.”

“Song for Luke” by Ryan and Fi is available online worldwide beginning 30 November 2013.

Rocko-Rocks releases new single 'Tell Me What You're All About'

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE –

The rock musician from the Bronx, New York known as Rocko-Rocks has released his latest and greatest EP record to date, titled, “Tell Me What You're All About.” The album is comprised of five original tracks for an approximate total listening time of 20 minutes. It is part rock 'n' roll, part R 'n' B, part dance and part groove. An album with style and swagger in every note, beat and lyric, “Tell Me What You're All About” is certain to place Rocko-Rocks on the rock map for years to come.

Rocko-Rocks began his music career at the age of five, playing drums and percussion. His move to California was intended solely for the sake of forwarding his artistic efforts. The move worked, and by 15 he was performing live in an opening rock group for bands such as Megadeth and Lita Ford. For years he played in the Central and Southern California circuits until his crew disbanded, and he began to find it difficult to find rock venues as the atmosphere quickly changed to a pop and hip-hop mentality.

This was the beginning of the current, contemporary Rocko-Rocks sound, which is signified by his overlaying rock 'n' roll elements such as keyboard and guitar on top of R 'n' B and hip-hop beats. The result is an amalgam of danceable pop music that feels like traditional house, yet retains the singing and the riffs of nightclub rock 'n' roll.

“I have a wide range of influences,” Rocko-Rocks writes, “from Dream Theater and Whitesnake to Rush. Since I play drums and enjoy the dance stuff as well, I also like Bruno Mars, Usher, Katy Perry, and Chris Brown.”

The themes of his new EP are largely interpersonal.

“It's a mix of relationship material,” he comments on this, “from girlfriends' head games to having a long-distance relationship.”

“Tell Me What You're All About” by Rocko-Rocks is available online worldwide beginning 26 November 2013.

DJ SeanKev has released his latest LP 'SeanKev 1982'

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE –

The DJ from New York known as SeanKev has released his latest LP record album, “SeanKev 1982 Disco, Funk & Soul.” The album is entirely mixed in the traditional analog method, which utilizes hi-fi, 12” and 45 RPM vinyl records rather than digitized CD recordings. The result is a warm, true sound that preserves the genuine wavelengths of the actual, live sound captured on the vinyl medium. SeanKev's “1982” LP is comprised of 17 tracks and a mammoth bonus album mix, for an approximate total listening time of two-and-a-quarter hours. It has been released on the SeanKev Records music label.

“SeanKev 1982” is perhaps the only album of its kind to be officially published this millennium, the traditional disco-DJ art having given way to electronic house music DJs perhaps as early as 1990. SeanKev, who is often referred to by his professional nickname, “Doctor of the Mix,” was raised in Queens, NY during the 1980s. His uncle was a DJ for many years and helped to nurture his nephew's musical talent. SeanKev's record collection began twenty years ago, in 1994.

“My album is a vintage sound that dates back into the early '80s dance, funk and disco scene,” the artist writes. “It gives you an idea of that raw warmth sound from clubs like the Paradise Garage, and Zanzibar, and Happy Day’s.”

As a child, SeanKev would save his lunch money to buy records.

“Even as a youth,” his official artist's bio reads, “he felt that soul music was a way of life and a spiritual pathway to healing oneself.”

By 1995, he had begun creating professional-grade mixtapes that catered to the generation of his elders. As his bio tells it, “The older generation took him in as a son of soul music. While building his vast collection of abstract boogie and funk records, he became good friends with legendary producer, Boyd Jarvis, who was introduced to him through Ricky Wilcock. Boyd, who produced many classics in the '80s dance scene, taught SeanKev about the Paradise Garage, of which SeanKev’s father was a member. With this newfound knowledge, SeanKev realized the true value of the dance culture.”

SeanKev cites as main artistic influences such legends on wax as Tee Scott, Larry Joseph, Boyd Jarvis, Larry Levan and “all the vintage club heads.” Among these greats his name certainly belongs, as any listener will tell you after spending mere moments with any portion of “1982.” Sporting a well-deserved degree of fame in the old-school DJ subculture, SeanKev has mixed with some true modern titans, such as Natasha Diggs, as well as others.

A humble and highly spiritual music artist with impeccable taste and razor-sharp style to spare, DJ SeanKev earnestly believes that the sound of soul music can spiritually heal a person and align their chakras.

“SeanKev 1982” is available online worldwide. Get in early, disco, funk and soul fans.

Rockers This Is a Human release new EP 'Almost Lovers'

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE –

The rock crew known as This Is a Human (often stylized "This is a Human") have released their debut EP record album, titled, “Almost Lovers.” The album is comprised of six original tracks for an approximate total listening time of 23 minutes. The band themselves classify their music as post- rock, however fans of such genres as alternative, indie, and early emotional hardcore music will likewise be enthusiastic about this arresting, passionate and surprise release from one of the most standout groups late in 2013.

The official This Is a Human Facebook page places their home base in Kaiserslautern, Germany. However, their band bio states very clearly that, “This is a Human is a rock band from different areas of the United States. The band met in Germany while playing in different music ensembles.” The chemistry between the band members is palpable in their sound, and audiophiles everywhere have great reason to rejoice that the artists happened upon one another in Europe at the time.

The sound of This Is a Human is driving, poppy, and full of chord progressions in the major scale. Their sound is highly melodic, upbeat, and often recalls attributes of the Catherine Wheel, Neutral Milk Hotel and Sunny Day Real Estate. Not unlike songs by those artists, their themes are often personal and romantic in nature, as may be intuited from the title of their new EP, and their songs are written in such a way as to maximize the effect of the lyrics. The delivery of their music is consistently high-impact

This Is a Human are Jonathan Johnson (vocals, guitar), Kyle Richardson (guitar), Tyler Goodwin (bass), and Vince Magno (drums).

“Almost Lovers” by This Is a Human is available online worldwide. Get in early, audiophiles.

Our Untold Story release new music video 'Hell House'

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE –

The rock crew from Amsterdam known as Our Untold Story have released their newest music video, titled, “Hell House.” The music video has been concurrently released with a behind-the-scenes short, featured on the official Our Untold Story YouTube channel. Set to the first single from their debut, self-titled EP released in January of 2013, “Hell House” takes the listener on a visual tour through the most-shadowy of the songs on their eponymous record.

Listeners unfamiliar with Our Untold Story may draw parallels between OUS and artists with particularly dark, punk-rock roots, such as Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds, or the Cramps. Their EP album, “Our Untold Story,” is a heroic journey in the traditional literary sense of the term. The band have no difficulties describing the plot of the record.

“The album depicts the story of lead singer, Xander, and his journey from his dark past through his teen years before finding the light,” writes Our Untold Story. “In the album we follow Xander as he steps into his darkest dreams within the 'Hell House.' [He then] fights with his inner demons and past relationships in 'Devil Woman' before finding his true love, who consumes his every thought in 'Interlude.'”

At this point, the plot of the album takes a turn for the better.

“In 'Rosy,'” they continue, “Xander reminisces and passes on his knowledge of the darker side of life, sharing both the good and the evil before rounding off with an ironic and fun-loving finale in 'She’s the Girl,' where everything finally ends up as it should be.”

The video showcases Our Untold Story as the dynamic and charismatic band they are famous in Europe for being. Singer Turian, as seen in the various live videos available for viewing online, befriends his audiences right away, and continues feeding this rapport from start to finish of every performance. Fans go away feeling as if they have been part of the Our Untold Story experience. He often invites crowd sing-alongs and addresses members of the audience directly.

Their official music video, “Hell House,” is available online worldwide for viewing beginning late November, 2013. Watch for their full-length LP debut album, currently in development.

Kathryn Rehm Hisaw releases new LP 'An Evening With Kathryn'

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE –

The chanteuse from the American Southwest known as Kathryn Rehm Hisaw has released her long-awaited LP music album, titled, “An Evening With Kathryn.” The record is comprised of nine tracks for an approximate total listening time of 25 minutes. It has been released on the Two Chilies Production music records label. A definitive collection of studio performances by the widely and greatly respected singer, “An Evening With Kathryn” is both a remarkable set of vocal renditions and an enchanting introduction to listeners not yet familiar with Kathryn Rehm Hisaw's work.

A songbird in the American traditions of stage and screen, Hisaw is an exceptionally active veteran of both. A born entertainer in the truest sense, she has performed live and for radio, film, and television.

“I have always loved music, dance and acting,” she writes. “I received my AFTRA (American Federation of Television & Radio Artists) dancing in the Don Rickles Special. I also have a SAG card and have worked in numerous movies.”

Nevertheless, Hisaw's heart has stayed true to the musical arts.

“I love music, and [still] more love the extension of creativity one is blessed with,” she writes.

Kathryn Rehm Hisaw cites as main artistic influences Liza Minnelli, Barbara Streisand, Harry Connick, Jr., Jim Brickman, and the Three Tenors. She describes her selections for “An Evening With Kathryn” as, “Easy listening of some current and some past pop songs. [These are] uplifting love songs to brighten people's day or night.”

One song bears personal value to the singer in particular.

“'Danny Boy' was one of my mother’s favorite songs,” Hisaw writes. “She was Irish, through and through.”

Hisaw was born in Albuquerque, NM. She graduated from UNLV with a Bachelors of Science in Business Administration, following the advice of her father. She has at various times been Miss New Mexico, a KOB Golden Girl, Miss NM Key America, and the winner of runway competitions at Models Association of America, NY's Waldorf-Astoria.

“An Evening With Kathryn” by Kathryn Rehm Hisaw is available online worldwide.

Circuit release new LP record 'Codes'

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE –

The London music crew known as Circuit have released their newest LP record album, titled, “Codes.” The album is comprised of eight original tracks for an approximate total listening time of one hour. A rollicking, ingenious, painstakingly orchestrated record that draws from nearly every available genre of music, Circuit's “Codes” is an achievement bespeaking musical creative greatness and genuine artistic integrity in its each and every attribute.

Circuit, who boast a whopping nine members, cite as main artistic influences such titans of composition as Bjork, Pink Floyd, Gyorgy Ligeti, Django Bates, and Karlheinz Stockhausen. As likely seems intuitive therefore, their music is intellectually satisfying in the utmost, but also grounded in a carefree, no-frills tone that carries a raw, garage-band feel.

This sonic whimsicality, combined with the complex textures of jazz music and the movement-based composition of classical music, results in a kind of experimental rock that can earnestly be described as an alternative to alternative music, as well as something truly new: alternative-alternative, as it were.

“We are all graduates from different music colleges and universities across the UK and Europe,” Circuit writes, “but our music background is different. Some of us studied jazz, whereas the others did classical music or sonic-arts courses, along with playing for years with other bands – everything from pop, rock, jazz and classical music to free-improv and live music for theatre and dance performances.”

In addition to being musical brain candy (as opposed to brain 'food' – Circuit is more fun) “Codes” by Circuit is a lyrically deliberate and poetic collection of songs.

“The album shares a lot of different messages with its listeners,” they write, “from highlighting the problem of over-consumption and mechanization of all aspects of life in today’s western society, to a piece about Nikola Tesla and his madnesses in relation to his genius side.”

Like a novel by James Joyce, the album is chock full with signs and symbols. Its title is both literal and figurative.

“'The Codes' contains coded messages using 3 different types of codes,” Circuit write of their title track. “'Thank You from the Mountain' is a song using a literal translation from Polish to English as the basis of a word-play, and some surreal confusion caused by that.”

“Codes” by Circuit is available online worldwide. It has been released with an official music video for “Thank You from the Mountain,” viewable from their official website at http://www.circuitmusic.eu/.

Get in early, audiophiles. Indeed, get there hours early.

Moe Money releases new single 'Trap (Bands)' feat. Buck Smooth

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE –

The writer and performer of hip hop known as Moe Money has released his latest rap single, titled, “Trap (Bands).” The rap track is the first official single to be released from Moe Money's full-length LP record album, “Back Across 110^th Street.” The album and single have been hosted by East Harlem's popular radio personality and urban film producer, DJ Big Stew. In addition to the sharpened skills and talents of Moe Money, himself, the single features those of Buck Smooth, as well. The track and LP mixtape are being published on the Hell Gate Entertainment music label.

“Trap (Bands)” – often stylized, “Trap (bands)” – is Moe Money's most significant public release since his April 2013 mixtape album, “East Side Story.” “East Side Story” is the official LP record soundtrack to the urban film of the same name, also directed and produced by DJ Beef Stew. The official Beef Stew single from “East Side Story,” titled, “Set It Off” made international headlines throughout the hip-hop underground following its release. The “East Side Story” mixtape that included it appeared in February to widespread critical and fan acclaim. The “East Side Story” mixtape received DatPiff.com's highly respected Bronze Award. Don Diva Magazine touted the movie as Don Diva's Urban Film of the Year.

Moe Money and DJ Big Stew's film debut came in 2012 with their arresting production of “Somebody Got To Die.” The film has since ushered in a new generation of urban movie making spearheaded by Beef Stew and Moe Money, themselves. “Somebody Got to Die” was hailed as the No. 1 underground movie by Don Diva Magazine. “Back Across 110^th Street,” the film which prominently features the “Trap (Bands)” single by Moe Money, is a spiritual successor to the 1972 urban film, “Across 110^th Street,” which is considered by many film critics to be one of the most important and influential movies in the genre.

“Trap (Bands)” by Moe Money feat. Buck Smooth is available online worldwide.

Royce and Tan release new single 'Bloom'

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE –

The composers of electronic dance music known as Royce and Tan (often stylized Royce&Tan) have released their latest single, an innovative, high-energy dance floor anthem titled, “Bloom.” The track is being hailed as a harbinger of this bright new sound out of Montreal, Canada, and as an excellent example of the Royce and Tan repertoire. Having only partnered together in 2011, already their names are being passed around in the professional EDM circles.

“These guys are actually good buddies of ours from Montreal and are doing some really great things,” fellow popular EDM artists the Stafford Brothers have been quoted as saying. Royce and Tan have also received accolades in print from such names in the deejay subculture as Jidax, Adventure Club, and Luke and Skywalker, all of whom have also added R 'n' T's music to their play lists. Other DJ's with Royce and Tan material in their lineup include Deniz Koyu and Charlie Darker.

Royce Groome and Chrys Tan are each Djs and producers in their own rights. They began their music career together supporting acts such as Avicii, Calvin Harris, Tiesto, Steve Aoki, Eric Prydz, Adventure Club, Dada Life, Tommy Trash and many more, during which period they garnered great momentum and fan encouragement. This inertia continues to build with the current, much-awaited drop of “Bloom.”

Speaking candidly of “Bloom” themselves, Royce and Tan write, “The single definitely reflects our sound and our style of writing. It's a mix of electro and pop, with a little twist. We want to give them a taste of what to expect from us in the future.”

Royce and Tan have thrilled audiences time and again at residencies such as the Time Supper Club and the Wood35 Supper Club, both in Montreal. They are the winners of the 2013 Absolut Vodka Mashup competition, and produced their original track, “Atlantis,” for Bud Light and Sensation White Canada. “Bloom” has already gained placement in international commercials that will begin airing in November of this year.

“Bloom” by Royce and Tan is available online worldwide beginning 28 November 2013.

And the Raven releases new LP record 'In Triangles'

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE –

The composer of synth and digital music known as And the Raven has released his latest LP album, titled, “In Triangles.” The album is comprised of 11 original tracks for an approximate total listening time of 46 minutes. It has been released on the Wolf Sheep Records music label. An arresting, vivifying record that suggests new subgenres of music as much as it crosses their borders, “In Triangles” is not only sure to put And the Raven on the map, but also certain to become one of the most influential electronic records of the modern day.

Toronto's And the Raven is led by mastermind composer, producer and engineer, Brandon DeLyzer, who in his official bio calls the project, “a Hydra-like collaboration of many rotating minds and voices, [which] sustains the raw energy past its roots. Fresh heads, new ideas.” The simile is appropriate because he invites new singers to collaborate with him for each track, and works with them so closely as to literally compose his songs around the feel and mood of the vocalist in question.

“When I clicked with someone,” he comments, “we’d become friends, talk music and ideas. I began to write songs that catered to the singer’s voice and style without worrying about if next song I would write would be too different than the last person I worked with. Either that or I could write a track knowing that I’d find someone soon who would fit it.”

Each singer gets a pseudonym of their own choosing. His And the Raven project originally got its name from the artist attributions, which read, “Petit-Loup and the Raven,” “Cinder, Remington, and the Raven,” et cetera.

“I want The Raven project to be as much about the people I work with as it is about me,” he insists. “No matter how known or unknown the singer is, I make each new vocalist come up with their own moniker, an alter-ego. That alter-ego becomes the focus of the song, which is why that moniker always comes before The Raven in the artist name... The less the project is about me, the more freedom I have to do what I want. It’s a project that can’t run out of momentum. It can’t die.”

The result is a sonic collage that explodes with ingenuity and versatility, yet retains Raven's consistent undertones throughout. His instrumentation is a gorgeous, rare balance of digital and analog.

“One thing I didn’t like about a lot of electronic music,” he writes, “was that it didn’t have the same intimacy as something with real instrumentation. So I started to use '60s amps, Wurlitzers, grand pianos, and rare vintage outboard gear to make my sounds blend together like they would if I was recording a rock band. I wanted it to sound natural.”

“In Triangles” by And the Raven is available online worldwide beginning 22 November 2013. Get in early.

Leigh Schindler releases new single 'Which One'

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE –

The universal talent from Southern California known as Leigh Schindler has released her new single, titled, “Which One.” The single is the latest official release from Schindler since her enthusiastically received music-video cover of Amy Winehouse's “You Know I'm no Good,” published in September. The “Which One” single is the first chance for Schindler's steadily growing cadre of fans to purchase and download Leigh Schindler music since her debut 2012 EP, “Self-Titled.”

Schindler cites as main artistic influences such artists as Amy Winehouse, Regina Spektor, The Bird and the Bee, and Ani Difranco. The effect these legends of singing and songwriting have had on her own creativity is evident in terms of vocal style and stage panache, but Schindler's moods often shift more to the alternative rock genre (like Difranco) rather than to the pop-jazz of Winehouse or pop-folk of Spektor.

Her tone is genuine, classy, and often tinged with elements of the blues. For listeners unacquainted with the Leigh Schindler sound, her off-the-cuff video rendition of Duffy's “Syrup and Honey,” shot in a continuous live take with saxophonist Tony Sangiacomo, is a sweetly remarkable introduction. (Another hidden gem, her cover of Winehouse's "You Know I'm No Good" with Sangiacomo on sax, Will Borza playing trumpet and Eric Kalver handling percussion, may be viewed at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ra-mpKYVqjc).

Schindler's lyrical content is often personal in nature. She writes that the themes of her new single, “Which One,” are about, “Those moments in life when your heart and mind don’t agree, making you question your actions and your beliefs. We all have capability of being happy, angry, sad, confused – and we must learn to embrace all aspects of ourselves. Learn to embrace your crazy!”

A born entertainer, Schindler has been making music since childhood. “As a little girl I always used to run around making up songs about anything and everything,” she writes. “Life was a musical and things just fell into place.”

Schindler is perhaps best known for her work in Hollywood as an actress, but her musical career is quickly gaining traction. Born in San Diego, she is a graduate of the San Diego School of Creative and Performing Arts, as well as of the Boston Conservatory of Musical Theatre in Massachusetts, where she first became inspired to begin her musical efforts in earnest.

“Which One” by Leigh Schindler is available online worldwide beginning 22 November 2013.

Triple Threat release new LP record 'Triple Threat Vol.1'

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE –

The hip-hop artists known as Triple Threat have released their new, full-length LP record, titled, “Triple Threat Vol. 1.” The record has been released on the Uno Music Group record label. “Triple Threat Vol. 1” is preceded by the popular hip-hop single from the album, titled, “Wildin Stylin,” which began turning heads in the American East Coast hip-hop underground scene in September of 2013.

Triple Threat is the professional stage name of the collaboration which includes Slick Fif, A-Flamez, Steve Young, and Jay Uno.

“Something for everybody on this album,” Uno writes. “[This is a] street record, something to party to, or even something to listen to with your lady.”

True to form, “Triple Threat Vol. 1” has tracks of all shapes and sizes, some as heavy-hitting as pipes on pavement, others as smooth and chill as a Motown soul song.

Triple Threat cite as main artistic influences such artists as the Notorious B.I.G., Tupac Shakur, Big Pun, Nas, Big L, and Rakim, “just to name a few.” Together, they aim to bring back the traditional hip-hop principles. In a digital world full of wanna-bes with varying degrees of talent, they intend to remind hip hop of its roots in the loudest possible way.

“Hip hop has come a long way since its origin in 1970s Bronx,” their official bio reads. “Today, the world of hip hop is drowning in emcees flooding the internet and news feeds with videos and posts. Neighborhood street corners were once the stage for rap battles, but today with just a click of a mouse, rappers thousands of miles apart can go at it face to face.

In today's hip hop world, you aren’t just competing with the best emcee on your block, but with the best emcees in the nation. Today you have to be a little more than just a 'rapper,' do a little more than just make songs, and think a little broader than your local rap scene.”

Triple Threat is actually a crew created by three US hip-hop companies, Uno Music Group, Loyalty Over Everything and Space Kamp Entertainment.

“We're here to change the game and show that it can be done with the way the hip-hop game has changed,” Uno writes. “So get in tune with these companies, ’cause there’s a lot to come.”

“Triple Threat,” by Jay Uno, Slick Fif, A-Flamez, and Steve Young is available online worldwide beginning 22 November 2013.
