Kevin Gordon Will Release New Album TILT & SHINE Out July 27May 24, 2018Kevin Gordon's Louisiana is a strange place. In his songs, it's a place where restless teens road trip to where the highway dead-ends at the Gulf of Mexico; a place where prisoners who are in for life compete in a rodeo in front of spectators; where a man can get lost in the humid afternoon and where religion may not signify hope; where the KKK greets a high school marching band and its African-American teacher along a parade route; where a post-ZZ Top show hang out outside a McDonald's reveals a hidden gun; where a Pontiac GTO gets stolen, ends up in a lake, and punishment takes precedence over remuneration; where half-Comanche folksinger Brownie Ford can escape death and proffer advice on staying real and free; where Jimmy Reed is the true king of rock & roll; and where rivers, never far away, carry secrets behind levees.

Native American Brother and Sister Duo Sihasin Release Sophomore Album FIGHT LIKE A WOMAN Tomorrow, 5/25May 24, 2018Multi-award winning musicians, Jeneda (bass) and Clayson Benally (drums) from the Dine' (Navajo) Nation in Northern Arizona create a politically-charged explosive organic sound out of just bass and drums, inspiring their listeners with a hard punk backbone, softened by folk, world and thumping by pop. As brother and sister, they grew up protesting the environmental degradation and inhumane acts of cultural genocide against their traditional way of life. As teenagers, the siblings were the backbone of the award-winning punk band Blackfire for over twenty years, who performed with legendary rockers like Joey Ramone and Maynard James Keenan. In 2012, they formed Sihasin, the Navajo word for 'hope', releasing their Ed Stasium-produced debut album, 'Never Surrender', in 2012 to critical acclaim and numerous awards on the American Indian Music scene, and received the honor of being called the '#1 Freedom Fighting Band to Get You Through the Trump Years' by 'The Huffington Post' in Dec 2016. They also collaborated on the song 'Sister Moon and Brother Sun' for the 2017 Grammy nominated album by roots children's duo The Okee Dokee Brothers. Following the inclusion of their punk rock version of the Christmas classic, 'Winter Wonderland', last holiday season in an ad campaign for Hyundai's annual Holidays Sales Event, in which Jeneda said, 'We are excited to further open the doors for Native American artists.', Sihasin are happy to announce the release of their self-released sophomore album, 'Fight Like A Woman', tomorrow, Friday, May 25. 'I hope that the vulnerability of these songs is relatable and the listener can feel empowered in knowing that 'hey, you are not alone', she says.
