thinkbendy’s debut Change, written by onetime U-Melt bassist Adam Bendy, begins with the track “Free”, a stately and even lightly theatrical opener . It’s Bendy’s first time singing and playing keyboards on an album, but you can’t tell – he weaves his piano playing and voice alike through a mid-tempo arrangement ably accompanied by former U-Melt […]
TWITTER: https://twitter.com/radioramblers Joe Mullins & The Radio Ramblers fire off some of their finest work to date in their stunning new album For the Record, which is due out this April everywhere independent music is sold and streamed.

URL: http://www.johndellroy.com/ In dramatic fashion, a devastatingly provocative percussion comes storming into focus in the first few bars of John Dellroy Band’s “Burning Desire,” only to find itself surrounded by a neon-tinted riff that is intent on rivaling its gargantuan weight and texture. The bass comes creeping out of the ridges in the drums and […]

Wild Ones delivers some highly stylized harmonies in tracks like “Monster,” “All Gone” and “Alpha Wolf,” […]

Andrew Hendryx unleashes his most brooding performance to date in his all-new single “Into the Mystic,” and although it’s a cover of the staple Van Morrison track, you won’t find the hallmarks of a jaded recreation in this stunner of a song. Vocalist Dan Lotti of Dangermuffin cathartically belts out lyrics against a backdrop of […]
