“Wake Up” and Listen – Kristy Chmura’s Song for a Planet in Peril

Posted on by • Leave a comment

When the sky turns orange and the air tastes like ash, something shifts in your awareness. For Kristy Chmura, that shift became a song and a re-awakening.

Her re-worked version of “Wake Up” doesn’t just reflect concern for the planet. It grieves for it. It listens to the land and it responds in melody.

Originally released in 2018, “Wake Up” was a quietly powerful track from Chmura’s debut album called “Stained…Glass Heart”. Now, it is the third single from her upcoming album “Inner Solstice”, and was released on Earth Day to honor our beautiful planet. Continue reading →

Dystopian Echoes and a Shot of Hard Won Optimism in George Collins’s “New Way”

Posted on by • Leave a comment

George Collins’s latest single “New Way” is not just a sonic left turn. It is a swerve into rockier, more defiant territory.

Collins, who is known for his introspective, singer-songwriter roots, dials up the distortion and steps on the gas with this riff-driven track that’s as much a personal reboot as it is a social commentary. Continue reading →

In their latest collaborative effort, Canadian heavyweights DIEMETIC and Lostrønaut lean all the way into the chaos, offering up a distorted, groove-laced dubstep banger that proves once again they’re not here to play it safe.

Coming hot off the heels of their breakout track “Beat Em” — which has racked up nearly 100k streams on Spotify – “Bored” doesn’t just meet expectations, but it mutates them into something wilder, heavier and undeniably more fun. Continue reading →

Stephen Jaymes Looks for a Way Through on “Waiting for the Drugs to Kick In”

Posted on by • Leave a comment

Some songs fight. Some songs grieve. Some songs laugh at the absurdity of it all. Waiting for the Drugs to Kick In somehow does all three at once.

Stephen Jaymes doesn’t sugarcoat reality, but he also refuses to drown in it. His latest single is a meditation on exhaustion. The kind of exhaustion that settles in after too many pointless arguments, too many battles that end in stalemates, too many cycles of outrage that leave everyone exactly where they started. The title is tongue-in-cheek, but the sentiment is real. How do you keep going when everything feels like it’s stuck on repeat? Continue reading →

Keyth Jones Ignites Nostalgia with New Release “Run to Me”

Posted on by • Leave a comment

A lifelong musical wanderer pays tribute to his garage rock roots in a high octane anthem.

From his early days haunting coffeehouses with an acoustic guitar to his time fronting Baltimore’s psych-rock outfit Fractal Cat, Keyth Jones’s career has been defined by restless reinvention.

Now, with his latest single “Run to Me”, Jones cranks up the fuzz, dusts off his love for electric guitar, and delivers a high energy garage rock anthem that could have easily been unearthed from a stack of Nuggets era vinyl. Continue reading →
