The video which was filmed by Robert Murphy premiered today at New Noise Magazine and will be available this Friday on all streaming platforms. The song is the sixth single from an onslaught of new music from Andy Clockwise including collaborations with Bella Darling & Rosa Pullman which is showing us that Andy is sitting on an embarrassment of riches which will only intensify in 2020, with the release of the much anticipated War Stories record.

Songwriter, singer, and visual artist Jehnny Beth has released an incendiary, industrial new track today called “I'm The Man” as part of the Peaky Blinders soundtrack; the song was first featured in the fourth episode of the show's current season this past September.

Los Angeles-based beach goths The Growlers return to the world's airwaves and highways with their new single 'Natural Affair' and their new 2019 World Tour. Since their Julian Casablancas-produced 2016 LP City Club, The Growlers have racked up legions of passionate fans around the globe, amassing 200 million Spotify streams, 1.2 million monthly listeners, and 75 million YouTube streams. The band's overnight success has been years in the making, fueled by a non stop flow of new material, always-on fan interaction on social media, and their epic live shows, with audiences singing along to every gloriously twisted lyric.

Hot off the heels of a whirlwind European festival run that saw the band headline major stages in the UK, Russia, Ukraine, and Czech Republic, and ahead of the West Coast leg of their headlining tour, FRANK IERO AND THE FUTURE VIOLENTS have just released a video for their song 'Great Party.' The song is a cut from their brand new record Barriers (released May 31, 2019 via UNFD).

Andy Clockwise records, performs, produces, and mixes all his records, which include the critically acclaimed Classic FM and EP's Dancing World & The Good Book. Today Andy Clockwise shared his new single 'This Town.' The song is available to share at Soundcloud and will be on all streaming services this Friday. The single follows up the official video for Andy Clockwise's single 'War Stories' which premiered at Grimy Goods and is available now on all streaming services. About the song Andy Clockwise told Grimy Goods, “This is the song that started the whole record really, a splurge of upset, denial and trying to find some sort of way to get out of the way of the world throwing every annoyance that one can endure my way. Some part therapy, some part defeat, some death of my youth and most parts rock and roll defiance and rebellion from whatever we call this current status quo. Apathy? Creeping oblivion? I suppose I see it as a fresh start. Hope I don't f**k it up!” 

Commemorating the 10 year anniversary of Julian Casablancas' Cult Records and their May 28/29 Pop Up in NYC, Reputante today released a five song EP - its first new music since 2013's Cult release Oceanside. Fronted by vocalist James Levy and produced by Jimmy Giannopoulos (Lolawolf, CREWSHADE), Living in the Dark includes 5 indie rock songs recorded in Brooklyn, NY. The band's previous EP, Oceanside included “Deep Set Eyes,” which was playlisted on Sirius XMU and was a KEXP “Song of the Day” and Safe n' Sound (Michelle Williams video).

“Songs of Love” is the first single from James Levy's new album, Somebody. The song follows the April 26th release of Levy's collaboration with Charles Bradley, “Lonely as You Are,” which Rolling Stone called a “devastating masterclass” and Atwood Magazine called “one of the strongest soul songs of the year.”

In late 2016, Charles Bradley faced his greatest challenge in a lifetime filled with challenges. A stomach cancer diagnosis earlier that fall forced him off the road at the peak of his career. Weakened by months of chemotherapy, facing a potentially life threatening surgery and confronting his own mortality, Bradley stepped into a home recording studio in Queens, NY and spontaneously created “Lonely as You Are.” 

Santigold has announced the 10 Years Golder Tour to commemorate the recent 10th anniversary of her self-titled debut album.

Several dates have sold out on the tour which kicks off next Tuesday, April 30 in Denver. Today, Naeem (FKA Spank Rock) who guests on “Shove It” on Santigold's classic debut and Amanda Blank who toured as Santigold's support on the tour for that album have been announced as support for this 10 Years Golder Tour.
