GHØSTKID Podcast Interview with Bringin It Backwards

We had the pleasure of interviewing GHØSTKID over Zoom video!

"The biggest problem that art has nowadays is that it doesn't hurt anymore," says GHØSTKID vocalist and agent provocateur Sebastian "Sushi" Biesler. "Especially here in Germany, people are so afraid to push boundaries, to make art that makes you think and feel."

By fall 2021, with the world shutdown seemingly over, Sushi wasn't content to let his creative yen languish at home in Germany.

"Even though we had made it through COVID, I was missing being able to play live, to really function as a band," says Sushi. "It didn't feel real to me. I became distanced from the music." A six-week decampment to Los Angeles became the creative fuel for GHØSTKID's next steps. The last vestiges of Hollywood sleaze, decaying glamour, personal temptation, and the still-vibrant creative vibes of the city became the frontman's "don't-look-before-you-leap" inspiration for the gestating HOLLYWOOD SU***DE.

The album is a perfect snapshot of an artist finding himself, crawling from his own personal wreckage against a crumbling, mythical Californian milieu. "That's why 'HOLLYWOOD SU***DE' is the first track. If you really want to make it, you have to give a lot. You have to be willing to give up everything. It's kind of like su***de to the person that you've been when you become an artist."

The matching, lush, and elaborate art adorning the album was created by Aly Wayne Gacy.

VENUES Podcast Interview with Bringin It Backwards

We had the pleasure of interviewing VENUES over Zoom video!

With their third album “Transience”, VENUES effortlessly pushes the boundaries of what is possible in modern metal. After two strong predecessors “Aspire” and “Solace”, oscillating somewhere between post-hardcore, alternative metal and metalcore, the Stuttgart-based band are finally tearing down all barriers, borders and walls. “Transience” unleashes an emotional cascade full of great melodies, visionary soundscapes, abysmal heaviness and visceral, unfiltered emotion. This is not just an album. This is catharsis. A medicine for a sick world. The antidote to dreariness, indifference and coldness.

And yet it is anything but a given fact that VENUES are still standing. Old members left, corona hit hard; yet, from a long dark tunnel emerged a band that has somehow only grown bigger, stronger, more fearless through all the setbacks and catastrophes. “Since our last album, we’ve grown together enormously as a band,” confirms shouter Robin Baumann. Since 2019, he has been sharing the vocals with wonder voice Lela Gruber, who has given VENUES a huge boost and is easily one of the most versatile, strongest vocalists in modern metal – a voice like an axe for the frozen sea within us. “We all pulled together and can now talk openly about everything,” she says. “That has brought a whole new vibe to the band – not to mention that insane energy.”

You can hear it, but you can feel it even more: The ten songs on “Transience” revolve around vanitas, farewells, new beginnings and the inevitability of change; they are emotional projectiles that hit home exactly where they hurt the most: right into our wounded hearts. Recorded in three creative and harmonious sessions with their long-time producer and confidante Christoph Wieczorek (Annisokay) at Sawdust Recordings in Halle, the final act in their trilogy bears all the pain of a wounded world. VENUES don’t look away, don’t suppress anything, don’t sugarcoat. But they don’t give up on themselves and this world either and sing, scream and play against powerlessness. They live, they suffer, they love, they breathe; they don’t close their eyes to toxic relationships (“Unspoken Words”), they channel emotional baggage (“Godspeed, Goodbye”). But VENUES are at their most moving in their most intimate moments. When Robin Baumann addresses his mother’s cancer in “Braille”, for example, or when Lela sings about imprisonment in the depressing “Coming Home”. “I haven't yet managed to sing this song without crying,” she says quietly.

This vulnerability, this unfiltered empathy leads to an incredibly intense, at times painstakingly honest album that draws on post-hardcore, alternative rock and electronic prisms. A healing thunderstorm, no less. “When I think back to my 16-year-old self, sitting sadly in his room and immersed in music, I realise what we are actually doing here and that we are this important band for some people today,” says singer Lela. They are: The bristling power of Bring Me The Horizon goes hand in hand with the symphonic arena demolition of In This Moment, infused with a very unique sound that has once and for all become an unmistakable brand on album three. “Transience” is a camera obscura, a prism composed of numerous dazzling facets and immortalised by a band at a new creative and musical peak. “Our last album was a pretty heavy metal record in response to our debut; this time we consciously wanted to be as open and multi-faceted as we are as individuals,” says Robin. “This album sounds the way we always wanted to sound.”

VENUES are a metal band at heart, of course. Nevertheless, this has never been a band for those who prefer to think in drawers. For those who don’t want to miss out on great melodies or powerful breakdowns, in turn, they are: The band has been playing their way up step by step since 2015. First “Aspire”, then “Solace”, touring extensively for both records. Since the last album, VENUES have been on the road with Emil Bulls and Blind Channel and played in Wacken, and the first new songs were already released back in 2022. You can feel how hungry the band is right now, how eager to live out their momentum. It’s not the first time people have said this about this band, but: VENUES are just getting started.

Kobra Paige Podcast Interview with Bringin It Backwards

We had the pleasure of interviewing over Zoom video!

Kobra Paige releases the title track “Like No Other” off her debut solo album Like No Other to be released on August 30th. The title track, co-written with Lizzy Hale (Halestorm) and Joe Hottinger (Halestorm) alongside producer Nick Raskulinecz (Foo Fighters, Halestorm, Alice In Chains) showcases the depth and soul behind the creation of the entire album.“

Like No Other” was later completed by Kobra at producer Brian Howe’s (Skillet, Daughtry, Linkin Park) Black Stove Studios in 2021 where the addition of Sitar was introduced. This paid tribute to a part of Kobra’s upbringing which involved many years of seva (service), with her family, at an ashram in southern India.

Kobra says, “This song is the heartbeat of the album and the distillation of what, I believe to be, life’s journey. If I were to share my essence and experience of what I know about being human, in one song, this would be it. LNO speaks to the recognition of our mind, body, and spirit as the one ‘home’ we truly have in this lifetime. We are its sacred keeper and there’s no limit to the number of times we can rebuild or change its path.”

Kobra shares, “As we move through this song, you will hear a sonic blend of worldly drums and Indian Sitar blended with the cozy Dobro and various acoustic and electric guitar layers. This is to express the beautiful paradox of our individuality in this world while simultaneously being plugged into the tapestry of a collective. The vocals are confident yet bare to the rawness of how lonely life can still feel, despite being surrounded by so many others. The ebb and flow of forward then backward motion, we experience all the time, is expressed and celebrated for the strength it takes to keep going through the adversities we face. In the pre-chorus, we have Fleetwood Mac-esque vocal layers, some company for a weary soul. Finally, the chorus holds the wisdom and the key. I speak of the very ancient wisdom of water and use its powerful metaphor as a beacon of remembrance to everyone. One of the most difficult parts of this life- journey is to surrender and cease resisting that which we can’t control. To flow like water is a great aspiration as it patiently shapes things over time, does not force itself, and yet moves powerfully when needed. Finally, a gift for us all. An important affirmation deeply rooted in ‘enoughness’ and truth. ‘I Am Like No Other’. You are the only one keeping you from yourself."

Kobra Paige’s release of single’s has been the beginning of a new journey, all leading to the culmination, announcement and release of her forthcoming record. Through song and deliberate visuals, this body of work aims to encourage self-liberation without abandoning the world. Kobra believes music plays an integral role in connecting, elevating, and healing humanity.

Mergui Podcast Interview with Bringin It Backwards

We had the pleasure of interviewing over Zoom video!

Emerging singer-songwriter Mergui, made his debut appearance on NBC’s TODAY Show on May 21st, to perform his single "Happy Now?". This track is the second single from his sophomore EP, Shadows of Blue, out now on Virgin Music/Saban Music Partners.

Produced by industry icons like the legendary David Foster(Madonna, Michael Jackson) and acclaimed singer-songwriter/producer K-KOV, Shadows of Blue presents a unique body of work that captures the myriad emotions of staying true to one's passion, despite the obstacles encountered. Mergui’s forthcoming EP delivers an intimate yet cinematic journey through the depths of human experience, drawing inspiration from diverse sources such as early 20th-century Italian opera and the nostalgic allure of '70s AM pop. Mergui skillfully intertwines these influences, infusing each piece with a contemporary twist that is both refreshing and compelling. The EP has already garnered attention across various Spotify playlists including New Pop Picks, Just Good Music, and Breakthrough Pop to name a few.

Mergui's talent has been gaining significant recognition lately. He was featured in in People’s Talented 2024 Spring Emerging Artists, where they described his music as akin to "Paradise." The latest issue of Music Connection proclaimed Mergui a "crooner sure to be a big hit," and further showered praise upon their review of the EP, describing it as a collection of "beautifully written songs that tug at the heart's strings." Atwood Magazine further commended Mergui, declaring him “a brilliant singer whose voice manages to deepen the pain of the situation that the lyrics evoke.”

Mergui truly stands out as an exceptional talent worthy of recognition! He is big overseas and comes from a musical family – his mom is a singer and his dad used to be a musician.

Los Angeles Magazine hailed his current single “Happy Now?” as a “melodic, soul-stirring excavation on romantic heartbreak.” Earlier this year, Mergui released the Elton John approved single “Cry,” which he captivated audiences with a spellbinding, stripped-back rendition of on The Kelly Clarkson Show. Following the performance, the track climbed the U.S. iTunes Singer/Songwriter charts peaking at #10! Atwood Magazine praised the track as "a moving piano/guitar number that’s sure to tug at plenty of heartstrings," and Rolling Stone featured it in their esteemed 'Songs You Need To Know' list alongside industry heavyweights like Beyoncé and Camila Cabello.

Mergui's journey is one marked by remarkable achievements, including opening for chart-toppers Bruno Mars and Maroon 5 to crowds of 65,000. His talent has been widely recognized by reputable publications such as Variety, Rolling Stone, and Billboard. Through his unguarded sense of vulnerability, Mergui emerges as an undeniable 'Artist To Watch' in 2024.

Sam Tompkins Podcast Interview with Bringin It Backwards

We had the pleasure of interviewing Sam Tompkins over Zoom video!

Highly acclaimed British singer-songwriter releases his eagerly anticipated debut album hi, my name is insecure via Republic Records. Also released today is his brand new single ‘almost killed me’.

hi, my name is insecure is the sum of years of hard work from Sam as he builds his dream body of work, incorporating tracks which are already fan favorites alongside exciting new material. The album, out today, also sees Sam team up with writer Pablo Bowman (Calvin Harris, James Arthur, Jonas Brothers) as well as writer and producer Danny Casio (Little Mix, Joy Crookes, Tom Grennan, Rudimental). The album includes hit tracks ‘someone else’, ‘time will fly’, ‘see me’, ‘lose it all’, ‘phones in heaven’ and ‘numb’.

The title of the album, hi, my name is insecure, speaks to Sam’s more introverted side as he explains, “I really like being in the company of my friends, but if you take me out of my comfort zone, and have me hang out at a party or an event or whatever, I just go inside myself and I find any excuse to get out of it.”

The newly released single, ‘almost killed me’, delves into the turbulent and confused emotions of a break-up, with Sam’s raspy tones and pop-rock guitar riff bringing energy and grit to the tune. Produced by Matthew Koma (PINK/Britney Spears) and co-written by Caroline Pennell (Demi Lovato, Ava Max, Zara Larrson), speaking on the single Sam says: "Almost Killed Me is all about those times when you’ve finally got out of a difficult relationship and you can see it for what it truly was. whether bad, toxic or just not meant to be. Sometimes it’s the hope that kills you and that is what it’s about. You really think you can make it work sometimes, but when it’s over and you have time to sit with it, you can finally see the bigger picture. I love this song and am so excited for it to be heard!"

If there’s one thing Sam wants his fans to take away from his live show, or from his music, it’s that a problem shared is a problem halved. Sam shares that “Whenever I talk about my problems in my songs, I feel like a weight has been lifted, because I know that I don't have to hide or be ashamed of that thing, and I want everyone else to feel that like there's nothing in this world that you might feel sad about that is shameful. In terms of mental health, there isn’t anything you ought to shy away from, you should always let people know if you’re struggling.”

Since starting his musical journey at 16 years old busking on the streets of Brighton, Sam has gone on to sell out shows around the world and amass a dedicated and enraptured fanbase, cementing his reputation as one of the fastest-rising British male artists. He was hailed by the likes of GQ as “one of the UK's most exciting vocal talents of the moment”, CLASH’s “the man of the moment” and last year was nominated for Rolling Stone's Rising Star Award. He’s cultivated an incredible online community for millions to share their love of music and has received praise from high-profile artists including Drake, Fred again.., Justin Bieber, RAYE, Sam Smith and more.

The future looks bright for Sam Tompkins as he looks ahead to supporting singer/songwriter Myles Smith on his North American tour throughout September and October, which sees Sam perform at sold-out shows across Seattle, Vancouver, Portland, Sacramento, San Francisco, West Hollywood, Phoenix, Salt Lake City, Denver, Saint Louis, and Kansas City. Tickets are on sale HERE. Not only this, but later this year Sam will also be heading out on his biggest EU and UK headline tour. The tour will see Sam perform across the UK and Europe throughout November and December. He will take to the stage in Manchester, Glasgow, Leeds, Bristol, Birmingham, Brighton, Bournemouth, Madrid, Barcelona, Copenhagen, Stockholm, Oslo, Prague, Hamburg, Warsaw, Munich and Amsterdam. Tickets are on sale HERE

Championing authenticity without taking himself too seriously, and using his ever-growing platform to encourage others to do the same, Sam is an artist apart.

The Wild Things Podcast Interview with Bringin It Backwards

We had the pleasure of interviewing The Wild Things over Zoom video!

Fast-rising UK quartet The Wild Things have released “Drunk Again”, the lead single from their sophomore LP Afterglow, set for release later in 2024. Co-produced by Pete Townshend, “Drunk Again” is the perfect soundtrack to a night out at the local dive and further cements The Wild Things as one of rock’s most exciting young acts.

Anchored by a twangy lick from guitarist Rob Kendrick and vocalist Sydney Rae White’s powerful voice, “Drunk Again” is the latest punchy offering from a group with seemingly endless potential. The forthcoming Afterglow record will be an immersive choose-your-own-adventure concept record that tells the story of the residents of the fictional town of Valentine amidst a paranormal phenomenon.

Already a critical favorite (they have been profiled by Kerrang! who declared them “your favorite new band”, Clash who said they are “blazing a trail across London, with their snappy, infectious live show,” and Rolling Stone who praised “their hook-laden riffs, tight melodies, and White’s stage presence”), “Drunk Again” demonstrates The Wild Things’ voracious appetite for power chords, sing-along choruses, and the gripping storytelling of their creative heroes (Pete Townshend, Spielberg, etc). They may sound straight out of the 70s, but The Wild Things are turning their amps up to 11 for a whole new generation of rock and roll fans.

Having honed their live show with high-profile opening gigs for The Who (their first-ever US show was at Madison Square Garden) and KISS, “Drunk Again” builds on the momentum of their recent Friends With Benefits EP (which featured KISS’ Tommy Thayer). Recorded at Pete Townshend’s London studio, the track notably features the legendary guitarist playing a Lowrey Berkshire Deluxe TBO-1 organ - the very same instrument that appears on “Baba O’Riley”. At the end of the sessions, Townshend gifted the organ to the band…a symbolic passing of the torch from one generation to the next.

It’s been a busy 2024 for The Wild Things, whose Friends With Benefits EP featured appearances by Townshend, KISS’ Tommy Thayer, and drag legend Trixie Mattel. In true Rock n Roll fashion, the band celebrated the release by performing atop a bus traveling down Hollywood Boulevard in LA, before taking the stage at The Bourbon Room in Hollywood for a high-octane free performance in front of their adoring stateside fans.

The Wild Things are Sydney Rae White, Rob Kendrick, Pete Wheeler, and Cam White.

Skylar Simone Podcast Interview with Bringin It Backwards

We had the pleasure of interviewing Skylar Simone over Zoom video!

In the dynamic realm of music, emerges as one to watch, blending raw authenticity with impeccable control to create a sound that resonates deeply with audiences worldwide. The daughter of an NFL player, Skylar grew up in multiple cities, creating a unique mix of cultural influences. Upon discovering her vocal talent and love for music at the age of 9, she began to hone her performing ability by singing the National Anthem at various stadiums across the country. Her tight-knit family ultimately moved to Los Angeles to support her dream of launching a successful music career. “I feel like I’m this veteran, even though I’m only 22 years old, because I’ve been out here hustling for over a decade,” Skylar reflects.

Skylar's musical journey is a testament to her unwavering dedication and natural talent. From mastering the drums to sharpening her skills on the piano, her versatility defines a uniqueness that demands attention. Drawing inspiration from iconic figures such as Janet Jackson, Whitney Houston, and Minnie Riperton, as well as contemporary artists like SZA and RAYE, Skylar infuses her own unique flair into every note, crafting a signature sound that is emotionally rich.

Skylar formed a clear bond with legendary producer Dernst "D'Mile" Emile II (Bruno Mars, Silk Sonic, Victoria Monet), as evidenced on the title track of her upcoming Def Jam EP release. “Shiver” is a passionately honest song from a distinctly feminine perspective that captures the sweet chase and sensation of romantic touch. “Once my body shakes, you’ll know it’s time,”she expresses between pronounced, exasperated breaths before foreshadowing the feelings evoked by the single: “You’ll know what I like when I shiver"). Her work with D’Mile, which also includes “Shut Up,” leaves Skylar plenty of room to play with texture in clever ways, particularly when it comes to her vocal range, which encompasses a 4-octave kaleidoscope of tones.

Having recently signed with Tunji Balogun and Def Jam Recordings, Skylar is ready to catapult into the next phase of her career with her new EP, Shiver, largely produced in the US, with moments bred in London with Scribz and Talay Riley (Kendrick Lamar, Doja Cat, 21 Savage, Khalid). The project serves as a testament to her artistic growth and evolution, and a musical re-introduction. Exploring themes of love of another and the self, and acting from a place of heartbreak and confidence—as well as finding the latter through the pain of the former—the project embodies the contrasts of human emotion, inviting listeners on a visceral journey of self-discovery. From the flashy, syncopated groove of "Permission" to the aching vulnerability of "Someone Who Cares," each track showcases Skylar's range and prowess as both a vocalist and a storyteller. In everything she touches, visually and sonically, sexy playfulness and buoyant youthful energy reign supreme.

Throughout her career, authenticity and diligence have been Skylar's guiding principles. With lyrics that are equal parts blunt and sweet, she invites listeners into her world: one of self-confidence, acceptance, and motivation to move forward. She is poised to make a lasting impact on the world stage: “There’s this sense of freedom that only music can guide us toward,” Simone reflects. It is here that the true power of her craft, and by extension her voice, blossom.

The Scarlet Opera Podcast Interview with Bringin It Backwards

We had the pleasure of interviewing The Scarlet Opera over Zoom video!

Soaring higher than ever, buzzing Los Angeles band The Scarlet Opera takes flight on their anticipated new Mirror, Mirror EP out today via SB Projects / Republic Records—listen HERE.

Mirror, Mirror celebrates the band’s dramatic vocals, magnetic melodies, and stadium-ready swagger. Among many highlights, new track “What Good Is Love” threads fret-burning guitar through otherworldly synths. Frontman Luka Bazulka’s jaw-dropping delivery resounds as he wonders, “What good is love?” Then, there’s new single “Slutty.” Over a bed of guitar and keys, the verses barely contain the track’s flirty fire, as Luka belts, “You make me so slutty.” Cinematic piano sets the tone for “God Damned Beautiful.” It trumpets an essential personal mantra, “The facts are the facts that I’m god damn beautiful.”

On the release of the EP, the band shares: “For better or for worse, this music ended up being a reflection of our trials and tribulations being a band the past few years—the complexities of falling sucker to industry hype men paralleled eerily well to the simultaneous love affairs happening behind the scenes. Mirror, Mirror will always be a poignant reminder for us to keep our circle tight, the romance in the ride and our joy protected, at all costs. More music, sooner.”

The Scarlet Opera recently teased Mirror, Mirror with their single “Someone’s Gotta Love ‘Em.” On “Someone’s Gotta Love ‘Em,” epic guitars resound, cinematic strings soar, and Bazulka emanates the kind of starpower and charisma that comes along once in a generation. The catchy chorus proves instantly chantable as he sets the scene, “I met a bird last night she was drunk at a bar, she said let me introduce you to my friend he’s a star.” Met with critical acclaim, Melodic Magazine hailed, “The single is articulate and theatrical with a splash of rock – a perfect way to welcome summer and an exciting and lively addition to the bands’ setlist.”

It followed the fiery “Catch Me If You Can,” which beyond picking up steam at DSPs, has earned widespread praise. Popdust dubbed it a “captivating, high energy track that kicks off their new era with a bang,” and The Honey Pop proclaimed, “It’s your dose of rock-and-roll combined with a mixture of badass lyricism, an intoxicating chorus, and a whole lot of infectious melodies.”

Not to mention, they recently wrapped their headlining Catch Me If You Can Tour. Speaking to their standout live performance, RIFF Magazine applauded, “A little bit Queen and a little bit Journey, the band had a cinematic sound with the flair of a Broadway show.” Pit Crew Media noted, “Between their iconic look, over-the-top stage-presence, and quality sound, The Scarlet Opera put on an incredible performance that left fans wanting more,” while The Concert Chronicles praised their live show as “a performance that was nothing short of electrifying.”

Last year, the band released their empowering single “That Kind Of Woman” and beloved debut Comedy EP, which features breakout songs “The Place To Be,” “Big City Thing,” “Alive,” and “Riot.” Amassing millions of streams to date, Comedy landed acclaim courtesy of Rolling Stone, Flaunt, LADYGUNN, Jezebel, Just Jared, Queerty, and more, with HITS Daily Double proclaiming, “The Scarlet Opera blends classic arena pomp rock, neon-bright ’80s pop and more than a dash of Broadway-style virtuosity into an infectious, gender-blending cocktail that its burgeoning fan base finds utterly intoxicating.” Not to mention, the band received a nomination for “Breakthrough Music Artist” at the 2024 GLAAD Media Awards.

Interview with SkyeChristy

We had the pleasure of interviewing SkyeChristy over Zoom video! Primed for a breakthrough, buzzing Los Angeles duo SkyeChristy share a new single entitled “Beach Zombies” today and announce their signing to Warner Records. “Beach Zombies” threads dusty acoustic guitar through a glitchy electronic haze punctuated by a sparse beat. Their hypnotic intonation practically hovers over the soundscape as airy harmonies entwine seamlessly. Fittingly, it culminates with a summery apocalyptic chant, “They want me, beach zombie.” The release arrives on the heels of “I’m Not Like Alice,” “Sending Light (For Lucas)” and “Black Lake.” The sister duo is a sonic union of Georgia Christy Edwards and Sophie Skye Edwards. The Los Angeles natives began writing and recording music together in high school. They honed their voices in choir, even performing at Carnegie Hall as part of their school ensemble choir. Since 2020, they’ve unlocked the power of their familial harmony and have captivated fans around the globe. With their distinct signature sound and forthcoming debut project, the SkyeChristy’s bond will only grow stronger. Get ready for a whole lot more from SkyeChristy. We want to hear from you!

Interview with Matt Corby

We had the pleasure of interviewing Matt Corby over Zoom video! Matt Corby recently released his new album Everything’s Fine, via Communion. His first album in five years, Everything’s Fine vividly captures the personal and creative growth of Matt Corby who, like many, was tipped belly side up recently. Beyond the global touring pause, on the day he was meant to start recording his new album, Corby and his family were instead rescued by a neighbor. Their home had been engulfed by the flood waters that raged through Queensland and New South Wales, Australia, in early 2022. After nervously watching his heavily pregnant partner and young son be whisked away in a small inflatable dinghy, he got to work ferrying provisions to stranded locals and digging rotting mud out from beneath his home. With their home inundated by floodwaters, the whole family moved into Corby’s Rainbow Valley Studios during the album’s recording process. Juggling familial responsibilities with his creative pursuits was a one-of-a-kind pressure cooker circumstance that galvanized his artistic evolution. Firmly fixed on seeing the best of things, Matt reveals “I'm at a really beautiful point in my life. I'm accepting all this stuff: the good and the bad, but particularly the bad. Which is kind of great. It’s a good thing to come to that point. Life isn't always magical, but the moments that are, well you really value them. I think this record is about that, about managing your actual reality. Sometimes I have those moments when you realize: well I'm still breathing, you still have the gift of life, so everything is fine I guess?” About Matt Corby: Recorded at his Rainbow Valley Studios with Chris Collins (Gang of Youths, Middle Kids, Skegss), Matt Corby's third studio album Everything's Fine picks up where his 2020 stand-alone singles, “If I Never Say A Word” and “Vitamin” left off after his J Award-winning 2018 LP Rainbow Valley. In the time since, Matt announced the laun

Interview with Bury Tomorrow

We had the pleasure of interviewing Bury Tomorrow over Zoom video! It's never too late to be what you might have been. Sometimes you just need a push to take the plunge. Few people would be greater advocates for this truth than Bury Tomorrow. Faced 18 months ago, following a period of external and internal strife, with the very real reality that it might be time to pack up their successes and close the book on a storied career of 15 years, with their hands forced and backs to the wall Bury Tomorrow instead picked up fate's gauntlet and set about writing the chapter they had always imagined. The Seventh Sun stands as testament to the bonds and belief required to shape themselves a new reality, a new sound, and a new future. Refocused yet no more restrained, the album's expanded sonic palette platforms sky-high melodies, layered with textured atmosphere, cloaking an underlying savagery. The thematic threads weaved through The Seventh Sun are met in kind by a throughline that musically stitches together each of its 12 tracks — an idea that guitarist Kristan Dawson has sought to execute for years. "Every single song sets up the next part of the record," he reveals. "I wanted it to feel like a one long body of work." In doing so, the album takes on its own kind its own sonic story-telling. "I feel like I was musically at where Dan was at lyrically," Dawson suggests. All of this combines, as Winter-Bates asserts, to exhibit "the best version of Bury Tomorrow people will have heard." Positivity, and possibility, now seems boundless, where not so long ago doubts persisted. "That is as much to do with Tom (Prendergast — keys/vocals) and Ed (Hartwell — guitar) joining the band as it is about the rest of us," Dawson notes. "I think we'd convinced ourselves at times that we weren't friends, when actually, we're family. You can't have this sort of life experience and not be and not be as emotionally connected to each other as we are." The guitarist points to t

Interview with Eloise

We had the pleasure of interviewing Eloise over Zoom video! 23-year-old London-based singer-songwriter Eloise releases her debut album Drunk On A Flight via AWAL, available everywhere now! Branching out beyond the soft, jazz-tinged soul of her early work, Drunk On A Flight sees Eloise broadening her horizons and applying her pop nous to a much wider palette of sounds. It is a coming of age album about embracing the moment; a heartbreak record that empowers listeners to luxuriate in their feelings –however messy or complicated they may be. Eloise’s timelessness, vulnerability, and whip-smart lyrics effortlessly captivate the attention of listeners. The album’s title track and first single, “Drunk On A Flight,” is a breezy pop anthem that puts Eloise’s natural songwriting abilities at the forefront, the song tells the tale of a love gone sour. “Giant Feelings” details the complicated, messy emotions that Eloise is trying to confront following the end of her relationship. The accompanying music video, directed by Tess Lafia and shot in one take, sees Eloise lamenting over her past relationship while looking out over the city of Los Angeles and ruefully hoping it rains on her former partner. Eloise shows her cleverness and songwriting prowess in the third single, “Therapist,” a whip-smart, sorry-not-sorry “diss track” skewering emotional codependency with kiss-offs like, “you’re acting like a boy but I fell for a man.” As Cool Hunting said, Eloise has a true talent for making “expressive, absorbing pop.” The focus track of the album, “I Take It Back,” circles back to the flight mentioned in the album’s opener. It’s an upbeat, catchy track that details the back-and-forth emotions of a confusing relationship and Eloise reassuring the subject that in case her plane crashes, she takes back the negative things she’s said. The visualizer for the new track provides a behind-the-scenes look at the creation of the new record. The a

Interview with DWLLRS

We had the pleasure of interviewing DWLLRS over Zoom video! The indie-pop California-duo DWLLRS put out an emotional, beautifully written stripped-down new track called “End Of It All. On the track, the duo share: “’End Of It All’” is us not wanting to have any fundamental regrets when everything is said and done. We know what kind of life we want to experience, and this song is us aching to fulfill the hope we have for a life well lived. Things will always get in the way — but those things play into the duality of love, life, and purpose. This song is a step into our future — and a confident nod to life’s impermanence.” If you’re unfamiliar with DWLLRS, you may know their single “Blue Spirits” - it is currently trending Top 10 on TikTok’s US Top Songs chart, with over 100K creates in less than a month. The sound is consistently producing around 10K creates weekly. About DWLLRS: Under the influence of Frank Ocean, Tame Impala, BROCKHAMPTON, and more, DWLLRS have carefully honed a signature sound reliant on their respective identities in 2021. Right out of the gate, their debut single “And Then We’ll Be Alright” generated over 4.8 million Spotify streams and counting. Maintaining this momentum in 2022, “Float Throughout The Ceiling” surpassed 4.3 million Spotify streams followed by “Blue Spirits” with 4.7 million Spotify streams. The San Clemente natives have received praise from Ones To Watch, Variance Magazine, Lyrical Lemonade, and more. We want to hear from you!

Interview with Taali

We had the pleasure of interviewing Taali over Zoom video! Grammy-nominated singer, songwriter and producer Taali unveils her evocative new single ‘It Comes For You.’ A seasoned songsmith who has collaborated with such luminaries as Aloe Blacc, Moby, José James and Mali Music, Taali has received acclaim in Billboard, NPR, KCRW and Bust Magazine. Working with Grammy-winning bassist Ben Williams (who also plays with visionary jazz icons Herbie Hancock and Kamasi Washington) and drummer Dustin Kaufman (who also plays with other boundary-pushing acts like St. Lucia and Moon Boots), Taali takes us on a late night emotional journey through the wreckage of post-pandemic 2023. Waves of shifting synths and shimmering vocal choirs recast the downbeat ethereality of such artists as Beach House, St. Vincent, Portishead and Kate Bush, as Taali explores the peaks and valleys of experiencing - and ultimately overcoming - our collective modern trauma. The song is accompanied by an atmospheric lo-fi video that was shot on Taali’s journeys around the world over the last two years. Out March 10, Taali’s upcoming self-titled album is her most ambitious and personal statement yet. Inspired by her Jewish roots and wandering spirit, taali features musicians from Amsterdam’s Concertgebouw Orchestra, and explores themes of hope and redemption amid our modern state of anxiety. Check out a 3-song sampler here. “They say that there is nothing new under the sun. But, they, surely, had not heard of Taali yet. Taali, the singer-songwriter-producer is nothing short of refreshing.” -Bust Magazine “What stands out most about Taali’s productions are the emphasis on vocals - ethereal in all the right spots and powerful when needed.” -KCRW “Taali fuses a beguiling mix of layered vocals, chamber pop and avant-electronica to directly address trauma, love, and identity.” -Guitar Girl Magazine We want to hear from you!

Interview with Rowan Drake

We had the pleasure of interviewing Rowan Drake over Zoom video! Rising singer-songwriter Rowan Drake has released his new song, “Elephant In The Room,” available now via Atlantic Records/Arthouse Records at all DSPs and streaming services. With over 5 million views on Tik Tok/Instagram Reels prior to its full release, “Elephant In The Room” has already proven one of Drake’s most relatable releases. “Elephant In The Room” follows a growing string of emotionally charged songs from the gifted singer-songwriter, including “Hollow,” “2 People, “Abandonment Issues,” and “Hey Little Sister;” official visualizers can be viewed at Drake’s YouTube channel. For Rowan, songwriting has always provided a space for transforming his feelings into unexpected beauty. Growing up in the small college town of Ithaca, New York, the singer-songwriter first discovered the power of that outlet when, at age 15, a devastating accident ended his dream of becoming a competitive snowboarder. After devoting nearly all his life to his snowboarding career, Drake began exploring his innate musicality by dreaming up his own hypnotic form of pop – moody, immersive, and fearlessly confessional, merging the intense introspection of classic singer/songwriters with a more forward-thinking sonic aesthetic. The talented young troubadour soon began performing locally around his hometown, self-releasing his first song while still in high school. Upon graduation, Drake packed up his car and moved to Los Angeles where he quickly connected with an array of rising young talents and potential collaborators. Currently hard at work creating more new music to follow throughout the year, Rowan Drake remains determinedly focused on preserving the immediate impact of unfiltered expression through deep connection with his fast-growing fan following.

Interview with Moon Boots

We had the pleasure of interviewing Moon Boots over Zoom video! Talented keyboardist, DJ, and producer Moon Boots (Peter Dougherty) has revealed his third studio album ‘Ride Away’. The ten-track LP will land on March 17th on Anjunadeep. Written and produced over a nearly two-year period beginning in early 2021, ‘Ride Away’ contains themes of love, companionship, and personal exploration. Hauling in a crate’s worth of musical influences, Moon Boots has imbued ‘Ride Away’ with his characteristic blend of soul, disco, and house music, whilst also introducing the sounds of synthpop, breakbeats, and psychedelica. Marrying these eclectic styles is part and parcel of Moon Boots’ idiosyncratic sensibility, honed through years of living and DJing in Chicago, the birthplace of house music, and in the musical melting pot of Brooklyn. ‘Ride Away’ follows in the footsteps of Moon Boots’s debut ‘First Landing’ (2017) and sophomore album ‘Bimini Road’ (2019). With an impressive catalogue atypical of the dance world, Dougherty’s third album represents both his tenacity and evolution as a producer and songwriter. The writing process was met with many difficult but rewarding experiences; creative bursts were balanced with instances of anxiety and self-doubt, yet Dougherty found the music writing process invigorating and cites his wife’s continual support and incoming firstborn daughter as encouraging him to move forward. Of course, more time in the studio allowed Dougherty to experiment with new creative processes (and mind-altering methods) over the course of the album’s formation. Featuring a swathe of colourful vocalists including the likes of Cherry Glazerr, Dope Earth Alien, and Nic Hanson, ‘Ride Away’ celebrates Dougherty’s longstanding affinity for collaboration, fun effervescent songwriting, and dance-focused production. Other international artists on the album include French singer Praa and Norwegian band Ora The Molecule, whils

Listen to “Little Lies” via Revolution/Warner Records. Mareux’s forthcoming album, Lovers From The Past, is out now! “Little Lies” layers neon keys above a head-nodding bass line and icy production.

The tour will kick off in May following Mareux’s performances at Coachella and make stops in Brooklyn, Los Angeles, Chicago, London, Warsaw, Berlin and more. “Night Vision” landed in the wake of Mareux’s 2022 tracks “Glass” [feat.

Interview with Tyler Posey

We had the pleasure of interviewing Tyler Posey over Zoom video! Tyler Posey has released his first full-length album, UNRAVEL. Produced by Matt Malpass and John Feldmann, the album features sixteen new tracks spanning genres, including previous singles “Lemon” – which premiered originally in Teen Wolf: The Movie on Paramount+ – “Gravity,” “Don’t Mind Me,” and “Runnin’.” Fans can stream UNRAVEL now at https://ffm.to/tylerposey-unravel and shop the merch collection at https://www.merchbucket.com/collections/tyler-posey “Being an independent artist, there is a lot of freedom, and that’s exactly what this album is,” shares Tyler on the new album. “Freedom. It’s got every genre from screamo hardcore punk to chill beach vibes. Listen to it from start to finish in order, to really experience the ride that is UNRAVEL, my first full length LP!” The previously released singles have garnered praise from Entertainment Tonight, Consequence, J-14, Substream Magazine, Sweety High, MTV, Zach Sang Show, and other notable outlets, with idobi Radio claiming “Runnin’” to be a “cheeky, funny, catchy and thoughtful” track that is a “summer-ready hit.” Tyler Posey is no stranger to the limelight. His storied acting and music career spans over a decade starring in dozens of TV shows and movies including Teen Wolf and Truth or Dare, as well as being a member of multiple bands including PVMNTS and Five North. In 2020, Posey decided to take a big step in his music career by becoming a solo artist. Standing alone in the spotlight for the first time has been freeing in more ways than one, least of all when it comes to his courage to open up about the hell that was 2020. The early days of the COVID pandemic were particularly pronounced for him, exacerbating deep-rooted anxiety, depression and childhood trauma that manifested in a self-destructive pattern of drug and alcohol abuse. Left to his own devices while quarantine orders ruled Los

Interview with Peter Raffoul

We had the pleasure of interviewing Peter Raffoul over Zoom video! For Nashville-based singer/songwriter Peter Raffoul, songs often emerge late into the night, at an hour when inhibitions fall away and the most essential truths are laid bare. With a lyrical sensibility that merges intimate confession and boldly detailed storytelling, the Canada-born artist opens up about anxiety and isolation and the more complicated aspects of human connection, elegantly matching his moody intensity with a mercurial form of alt-rock/folk. Made with producers Owen Lewis (Old Sea Brigade, Maddie Medley) and Henry Brill (Phantogram, Jack Garratt), Raffoul’s debut body of work reveals his undeniable gift for transforming pain into beauty—an element endlessly magnified by the pure warmth and power of his voice. Originally from the small Ontario town of Leamington, Raffoul first embraced his stream-of-consciousness approach to songwriting in his late teens, when he spent countless hours teasing out songs in the clubhouse-like shed behind his family’s home. As the product of a highly musical family—his father Jody has played in rock bands for over three decades, his brother Billy is singer/songwriter signed to Interscope—Raffoul grew up immersed in the timeless records of the Beatles and Led Zeppelin and began exploring his own musicality by taking up piano at 17. “The music I’m making today really comes from all that time I spent in the shed over the years,” notes Raffoul, now 27. “It was always a world away from everything, where I could mess around with songs on this little keyboard and figure out how to put chords and melodies to all the lyrics I had in my head.” Before long, he’d added guitar to his repertoire and created a song called “Maybe I Do,” a bittersweet but radiant track slated for his forthcoming debut EP. “I was trying to paint a picture of the start of a relationship where the other person seems so perfect, you’re almost waiting for someth

Interview with Can't Swim

We had the pleasure of interviewing Can't Swim Zoom video! One of New Jersey’s prodigal sons once mused “who says you can’t go home?” – but CAN’T SWIM have never really left their Garden State surroundings. Sure, they’ve certainly logged tens of thousands of miles over the past seven years, bringing their cathartic blend of rock, punk, and emo to audiences around the world on bills with A Day To Remember and Senses Fail and at festivals like 2000trees. But at their core, Can’t Swim are innately Jersey through and through: from the ghosts of Tri-State hardcore giants that oscillate through their high-octane sound to the very garages and studios where those songs take shape. Now, the band plant their Garden State flag even deeper on their fourth LP, Thanks But No Thanks, an album that quite literally finds them going back to their roots. After wrapping another slate of hard touring for 2021’s Change Of Plans, the group – vocalist Chris LoPorto, bassist Greg McDevitt, guitarist Danny Rico and drummer (and honorary Jersian) Blake Gamel – decamped to the Shore, insulating themselves in the comforts of home while working to hone in on the most elemental components of the Can’t Swim sound. Joy has rarely been a word associated with Can’t Swim – awash in tempestuous lyricism and muscular energy since breaking into the underground with 2016’s Death Deserves A Name EP – but there’s a self-referential wryness to LoPorto’s lyrics on Thanks But No Thanks that winks its way through the album’s 10 songs, along with a finely tuned melodic edge that balances out the band’s more brooding nature. With guitarist Rico overseeing production, mixing, and mastering (a position he held on 2017’s debut LP Fail You Again and 2018’s This Too Won’t Pass), first single “me vs. me vs. all y’all” is Can’t Swim’s most fully realized pop song to date, name-checking The Cure, The Lemonheads and Eddie Vedder, while the album-opening “Now

Adam & Tera are Bringin’ it Backwards with their podcast!

Bringin’ It Backwards is a podcast that talks about the stars before they were the stars. We’re your backstage pass to the music industry.

Put another way: we’re a cross between Dax Sheperd’s Armchair Expert and Zane Lowe’s Beats 1 Radio. We’re the place the stars show a different side of themselves in a world where fans think they already know them.

We don’t ask the “gotcha” questions but we do ask the thought-provoking questions. The ones that encourage guests to open up, be vulnerable, and share their authentic selves.

Started by Adam and Tera Lisicky, this podcast is a combination of passion and profession...and maybe, a little obsession. Music is in their DNA. With 15 years of on-air experience and a BA in Communication, Adam is the professional of the professionals when it comes to the music industry. Same story with Tera: not only did she grow up around music with her grandpa singing on the radio and brother in The Eiffels, but she got an MA in cross-cultural teaching. Rumor has it that her karaoke skills are out of this world, too (spoiler alert: the rumors are true).
