The Felice Brothers just released 'Special Announcement' from the forthcoming album Undress, out May 3 via Yep Roc Records. Paste said, 'The song, which directly and cleverly targets financial corruption, is quick to acknowledge the absurdity of our modern politics and the role money plays in them with the lyric “I'm saving up my money to be president.” Songwriter Ian Felice imagines a world without financial interests, without the “Stock Exchange” and the 'Federal Reserve.''

Los Angeles-based musican Wyndham has revealed his new single 'Time To Kill' from his his sophomore full-length solo album A Fistful Of Stars out April 12. The track premiered at Atwood Magazine and will be on all digital streaming services this Friday. About the song Wyndham says, 'I've spent allot of my life numbing myself to shut the world out...When I got sober a few years ago, that habit became crystal clear to me. This song is about that revelation, about upending and reframing old ideas and being honest when things are out of control, even if I'd like them to appear perfect. The production style feels lighter and more freewheeling for such a loaded idea, which was intentional too: I wanted to capture that tension between how things look and how they can feel. A Fistful Of Stars is available to pre-order now at Bandcamp.

Siamo nella meta degli anni settanta, in un clima di recessione economica esplode la violenza criminale e politica e in questo contesto sociale prende vita Aggiungi un Posto a Tavola, nato da una felice intuizione di Jaja Fiastri che trovo lo spunto in un libro comprato in una bancarella della Stazione Termini con una copertina che la colpi: c'era un giovane prete con i capelli biondi e lunghi, con una faccia simpatica. Si intitolava Dopo di me il diluvio, scritto da David Forrest. La Fiastri ne parlo con entusiasmo a Garinei e Giovannini e insieme coinvolsero il Maestro Trovajoli.

The song is a mantra to self that serves as a reminder of inner strength and takes its sonic cues from the soft palate of 1970s folk rock.'

THE CHRISTIANS by Lucas Hnath takes us into the world of an evangelical megachurch, a place that holds a certain amount of mystery for those of us who practice different religions or lack belief in any faith. Apollinaire Theatre Company and Director Brooks Reeves set the stage with a 16-voice choir, accompanied on the organ by their conductor, and a supersized wooden cross looming over them on the upstage wall. To create an ambience of authenticity, when the pastor and his associate make their entrance, they reach into the audience to shake hands and welcome us to the service while the choir rocks out on a processional hymn.
