Lil’ Red & The Rooster’s new album 7 is one of those rare projects that feels timeless and truly alive in the moment, a record that dances between the blues tradition and daring experimentation without ever losing its center.
This album is all about connection at its heart. Connection to self, to others, to history and to the joy of making music in real time. Continue reading
Poems’ latest EP, Half-Life, opens with “Placebo”, and from the first fuzzy guitar tones it’s clear this is a record about contrast. Both immediacy and restraint, swagger and vulnerability.
The San Diego outfit build their songs around the dissonance of young adulthood – trying to define yourself while wrestling with anxiety, dependence and that uneasy comfort of prescription drugs. Continue reading
You’ve probably already heard MUNNYCAT – even if you don’t know it yet. The ferociously DIY duo of K808 and Khaledzou have been stealthily soundtracking culture for years. But no, seriously. Their songs have been used in over 500 ads (Apple, Fenty, Versace, Xbox), films and TV shows, and in TikToks viewed over 40 million … Continue reading
With their new single Threshold, Portland Maine’s based rock outfit Moments Of sound like a band standing squarely in their stride. And taking a big step forward.
Mixing the sound of early 2000’s emo with the dynamics of modern alt rock, this new track is both fresh and familiar, as if designed for equal parts packed club singalongs and solitary late night drives. Continue reading
Emmy-winning musician Little Bihlman (Scot Bihlman)’s new single “Fade Away” has just debuted as the very first release on V13 Music, the new label from V13 Media Group. “Fade Away” is a stripped-down, emotionally charged track that hits with the weight of experience.

George Collins’s latest single “By the Time” already stands out for its understated Americana. It’s an acoustic rooted outlaw confessional that trades bitterness for quiet resolve.
With the release of the Official Music Video today, the song’s emotional world feels even more tangible, as it unfolds like a short story on screen.
Shot on location at Max’s Steakhouse in Prague, the video leans into the very image Collins imagined while writing the track – a solitary figure at a bar, not burning a letter, but writing one. A “Dear John” note marking the end of a love affair. Continue reading
Gun-Shy Butterfly release a brand new single today called “Lose Someone”. It’s a song that channels the messy aftermath of a toxic relationship.
But instead of drowing in heartbreak, it roars with defiance and a fierce self respect. At the heart of the track is a biting guitar riff that sets the tone immediately like a full throttle declaration. Continue reading
There is no voice as distinctive in alt-dance-rock as Kate Pierson’s. Just ask Iggy Pop, Jack White, and R.E.M., all of whom enlisted her vocal contributions for such memorable tracks as “Candy,” “Venus,” and “Shiny Happy People,” respectively. Best-known as a founding member of the singular, trailblazing B-52s, Pierson is beloved for her soaring vocals … Continue reading
From the heart of Orlando, Carrabelle invites listeners to join them on a new sonic journey with the release of their latest single, “We Can Fix You.” This track emanates a poignant yet playful exploration of human vulnerability, offering a balm for those who’ve ever felt shattered, misunderstood, or in need of something to stitch … Continue reading
Reeya Banerjee’s final single before the release of her album This Place is a soaring, echo drenched anthem about grown up love, making tough choices and the bittersweet ache of moving on.
“Upstate Rust” draws its title from a passing comment during Banerjee’s NYC years. Something of an offhand phrase that became a personal badge of identity, and which is now the emotional centerpiece of this record. Continue reading
