Grass 2023

In the midst of reflecting on his long and varied career for his acclaimed memoir Chasing the Masters: First Takes of a Modern Drumming Artist, drummer/composer Phil Haynes lingered on revisiting the music he’d made with his audacious quintet 4 Horns & What? during the early 1990s

Young Franco has recruited UK Indie sensation Master Peace for huge new track Wake Up which is out now via Astralwerks. In “Wake Up”, Young Franco imbues a gritty and distorted beat with the clever fusion of hip hop and sharp/punk-like vocals from Master Peace. Listen to the song here!

Pop-punk powerhouse Taylor Acorn has today shared her brand new single “Greener”, out now. A vibrant and soaring track about realizing that things can be so much better than you ever imagined, “Greener” serves as a follow-up and juxtaposition to Taylor’s previous single “Gray”.
