Freemoor New Song “Affliction” Delves Into The Dark Side Of Fame In the swirling neon haze of our contemporary media landscape, where meaning seems to slip through our fingers like discarded tickets from a long-forgotten carnival ride, Freemoor’s “Affliction” emerges as an enigmatic soundtrack to the modern malaise. It is as if, in a clandestine meeting between rock’s raw spirit and the postmodern tapestry of sound, Freemoor has assembled a sonic collage that is at once audacious, nostalgic, and curiously cerebral. The song opens with a surge—a cascade of distorted guitars, driving drums, and an undercurrent of bass that resonates like the murmurs…

UniversalDice’s Misfit Memoirs is a full-on emotional rollercoaster disguised as rock. There’s no way to box it in, and honestly, that’s what makes it so damn magnetic. Lead singer and mastermind Gerry Dantone has crafted a record that feels like a lived-in confession, somewhere between the gritty intimacy of indie rock and the drama of classic anthems. It’s raw. It’s messy. And it demands that you feel something. The opening track, “My Heart is in Your Hands,” doesn’t even try to hide its vulnerability. It starts off like a love song you’ve heard a million times, but by the time…

As someone who’s spent decades lamenting the decline of modern rock, it’s rare that a new artist catches my attention, let alone holds it. Most of what passes for rock these days feels overproduced, devoid of edge, and completely disconnected from the raw emotionality that once defined the genre. But every now and then, a track comes along that surprises me. Rachel DeeLynn’s “Can You Hear Me Now?” is one of those rare exceptions. INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/racheldeelynn/?hl=en This single, taken from her upcoming debut EP, is a fiery, unapologetic slice of pop-punk that manages to feel both fresh and familiar. From…
Number 2 by HebbaJebba is a straight-up ride through everything that’s awesome about rock, and it’s got some serious heart. This isn’t just some random collection of songs—nah, it’s an experience. Imagine if your favorite band somehow learned how to bottle the feeling of running through the streets with your friends on a summer night and then turned it into music. That’s what this album feels like. ABOUT THE BAND: https://hebbajebba.com/ First off, when “Swagger” drops, it’s like BAM, this band is here to make noise. The drums by Paul Gordhamer hit like a freight train, and Ted…
The holiday season often brings out the same batch of feel-good tunes that are played ad nauseam until January 1st. It’s a predictable cycle of sweet melodies and nostalgic lyrics designed to keep the yuletide spirit alive. But Ava Della Pietra’s new single, “Reindeer Rebellion,” feels like a much-needed injection of fresh energy into a genre that’s at risk of becoming too familiar. This track is anything but your standard Christmas fare. With its sassy, rebellious tone, catchy hooks, and anthemic chorus, it’s the perfect mix of pop audacity and holiday irreverence—like a rebellious cousin crashing the family Christmas dinner,…
Time has proven Swainn’s 2021 collection Under a Willow Tree to be a lynchpin release in the band’s growing discography. It marked a moment when the Phoenix, Arizona-headquartered band broached beyond the standard array of rowdy drinking songs thus far defining their act. Make no mistake, Swainn didn’t set forth to remake the songwriting wheel with Under a Willow Tree’s writing, but it touches on themes outside the purview of traditional Irish/Celtic folk with a punk rock twist. URL: https://swainnmusic.com/ They’ve returned to this demarcation point to further burnish its value. Adding new member Rob MacIntosh’s bass lines to Under a Willow Tree’s…

Brush aside the obvious Americana/roots music influence permeating much of B.B. Cole’s songs for Of Love and Loss, her second full-length album, and you’ll see the collection’s core. At the end of the day, a sturdy singer/songwriter vibe guides these songs. It manifests under several guises – classic county complete with pedal steel, blues, bluegrass, and other influences are audible. Her storytelling bent is a critical part of the final product.
