Cory Becker Shares 'Under A Tree' SingleFebruary 20, 2020Cory Becker's debut album, One, came to life in a one-room studio in the dirt floored basement of his Echo Park rental, which he built from ground up. The album embraces the authenticity and experimentation of analog recording - engineering and producing the album himself, he experimented with a variety of techniques and performed nearly every aspect of the album himself, aside from select musical guests he invited to play on select tracks. Despite being Becker's first try at recording and producing everything on his own, he was able to create a unique sonic footprint that encompasses modern indie rock and folk, and the values and traditions of the canon of American roots music. One is out tomorrow, February 21st.

Fresh into 2020 and the duo, who've always been known for their energetic live performances that are part rock show, part comedy act, and part community forum, are already making a major tour announcement. “Songs like 'I'm Yer Dad' begin with a hypothetical dialogue in live performances which give a feeling of performance art” says NME. Combine that with Rej's ability to effortlessly fluctuate between angelic singing and hellish screaming, the on-point instrumentals, and the outfits' intimate and open stage presence, and you'll start to get a feel for what to expect. This time they'll be hitting the road with dark-rock outfit, Lung. Beforehand they'll be stopping in at SXSW and Treefort Fest, and while the tour is already slated to hit 25 venues there are more on the way. Full a full list of dates see below.

Fire In The Radio Share New Single 'EX-SF'February 20, 2020Philadelphia-based band Fire In The Radio will release their new album Monument out April 3 via Wednesday Records (pre-order). Today Kerrang! premiered the official video 'EX-SF' along with an exclusive interview with the band. Kerrang! says, 'Fire In The Radio's music especially powerful is that they always seem to be reaching for the stars — and preparing to fall. The Philadelphia four-piece's music is driven indie rock with a distinct shimmer on it that reminds one of jangling semi-goths like The Smiths. But guitarist-vocalist Richard Carbone's moaned vocals and the use of heartrending minor chords throughout give their sound an inherent sadness. The result is Monuments, their plucky, atmospheric third album that's full of soaring aspirations while feeling firmly rooted in the clumsy real world.' 'EX-SF' will be on all streaming services this Friday to add to your favorite playlists.
