Metalheads rejoice. I've got one for you this week. Project Rogue is a hard hitting local metal band from here in the Dallas/Fort Worth area. Fun fact, I auditioned for the band at one point. 

JJ and I had a great talk, and have become friends since. It's great when that happens. We discuss everything from writing, to recording, to promoting, and a lot about life in general. Honestly, you'll likely want to listen a few times just to be able to pick up on everything. 

***Disclaimer***

I was having some mic issues, and the sound is hit and miss during the episode. I did what I could to fix it, but hopefully it's not too distracting.

It's always enjoyable to hang with my guy B-Funk. His latest album is some of his best work. Like many artists, B-Funk dabbles in many different genres. And honestly, it seems like a natural progression as most people listen to multiple genres. I can guarantee you will find a track or two you really vibe with.

I would best categorize Lucy's sound as "alternative", although that can mean so many things. A little rock, a little soul, and a lot of passion shine through, backed with a powerful vocal. It was good to get to sit down with her, from across the pond as they say, and chat about music. Neither of us want to be pigeon holed into a specific genre with our music. Sometimes that's a blessing, and sometimes it's a curse.

Ok, coming back off hiatus with a powerful one. The last episode I published was the Indie Artist Spotlight episode from Miss Krystle. Now you will get to see the other side of this amazingly talented woman. 

Not only is she an exceptionally gifted musician (as well as attractive woman), but she has a mind for business to rival any in the industry. You can find her all over at her link below, but be sure to go check out her YouTube channel called Top Music Attorney. If you have any dealings with the music business, you need to be following that channel.

I've been following Miss Krystal for a while now, primarily because of the business advice she gives on YouTube, but her music is FIRE! These 3 tracks all come from the upcoming album titles Dangerous Daughters. This album marks her transition into AGGROPOP (Aggressive Pop) music. If this is the direction pop music is going, I'm on board.

SO, I'm scrolling Instagram one day, when I came across this youg woman playing drums, and was highly impressed. After digging a bit deeper, I came to realize that, this person known as TiniWinionDrums was really an incredible musician. Jump ahead a few months, and here we are, chatting on the podcast. 

Also, she has recently formed a duo group, in the Math/Progrock genre, who's debut EP is due to drop soon. Check her instagram account http://instagram.com/tinywiniondrums and click the link in her bio to find out more. They are creating some cool stuff. And, if some of the references sound a bit dated, that's because this was recorded about 2 months ago, but I held it back to coincide with the EP release.

If the name Mike Allen rings a bell, there's a good reason. Only a couple weeks ago Mike's music was featured in an Indie Artist Spotlight episode. And now I was able to get together with Mike for an interview. 

We cover many topics, But a lot of it comes back to the topic that inspired the title of this episode, do you own thing. Mike's music is exceptionally unique, the perfect illustration of my motto, "You do You".  I hope you enjoy.

I thoroughly enjoyed digging into these three tracks. Modo is an exceptionally talented guy, and all 3 of these tracks are legit fire.

Gold Mine - A somewhat autobiographical piece, all about the hustle and overcoming the struggles. 

Gluttony - A track from the album 7 Deadly Songs, a cautionary tale about living a life of excess. 

Name Brand - This song focuses on how so many people think they need expensive name brand clothes and such, just to try and impress others, while that is a large part of why they remain broke. 

 

It is rare that you speak with someone, for the first time, and conversation just flows effortlessly, but that describes this call with Lauren. Right from the beginning, before we even started recording, we were laughing and having a good time. And that's why the episode is titled the way it is, because this is the longest episode to date, but you will certainly enjoy every minute of it. We covered far more topics than I can even try to list here. So go have a listen, and i hope you really get a lot out of this.

If you're into hard hitting instrumentals, with a heavy dose of distorted guitar, then you're in the right place. If it's not your thing, I challenge you to have a listen anyway. The artistry will amaze you.  Alan Morrissey can shred with the best of them.

----more----

Fallout - A track inspired by the nuclear disaster at Chernobyl, told from the reactor’s point of view. The song deals with the chaos, rage, refection and ultimately the ‘Fallout’ from the disaster, using heavy funk metal multi-tracked guitars to tell the story.    Re-Tox - A heavy bluesy number with Southern Rock influenced keyboards to give a Black Crowes meets Led Zeppelin vibe. A drifting rhythmic wander that dials back to the ‘70’s and 80’s.    Speed Pursuit - A heavy driving number that evokes the idea of high-octane driving, high speed police chases and high drama. Calling back to the late ‘80’s/ early 90’s heyday of British and American metal, the guitar sets the pace with fast syncopated solos, heavy riffing and unashamed solos that give way to a reflective outro.  ----more----   The tracks are from a 4-track EP called 'All Guitar', the cover artwork, which was created by my wife, is attached to the email along with a promo image I use. The EP was 100% written, composed, arranged and recorded by me in my house; drums are digital kits provided by Arnaud Krakowka https://arnaudkrakowka.com which were arranged by me, all the guitar and bass was written and performed by me.   Links to Alan's social media profiles and streaming platforms can be found here:  https://linktr.ee/loud_heavy_rock

This young man is an inspiration. Not only with his work ethic, which is incredible, but because of his love for humanity. That's the big one. I've now spoken with many amazing artists, all of whom are hugely supportive of the indie community, but B-Funk takes it to the next level. Wait until you hear what his ultimate goal is for his music. I was not expecting that. Epic!

 

You can find B-Funk (aka Ben) all over the social web from his link tree link below.

If you look up eclectic in the dictionary, and do not find this band name beside it, that's an oversight on the part of Mr Webster. 

Look At What The Cat Dragged In: Demented tango klezmer punk…not much more to say really!  Save Me: Glam rock with a bubblegum chorus.  Carry Me Back: Barnstorming blues that builds and builds.    

You are in for a real treat today. Mike Allen, super talented, with an exceptionally broad taste in music. And that wide range of influence comes through in his music. Melding elements from multiple Genres, Mike has created a sound, that I believe, is unique only to him. Elements of EDM, Synth, alt rock, hard rock, and other influences ranging form punk to classical, combine for this truly unique sound. Oh, and I don't think I mentioned during the episode, but Mike produces, records, mixes and masters all his own work. Did I mention he's talented?

Here are today's 3 Tracks:

The Night That I Saw Hell - is a track from my last EP 'The Benefit Of Doubt' and is about my struggles with addiction.    The Weight Of Choice - was the second to last track written and recorded for the album 'Motives' and is about a seemingly unpopular political opinion, depending on what circles you run in. (I think I misread that and said it was the first one written for this album in the episode. Sorry)    New Bliss - was the first track I wrote and recorded for 'Motives' and is about coming to terms with mortality and how everyone's opinion on the matter is just as valid as the next guy's. 

Another stand-out act from my adventures in playlist curation, Weimar is (in their words) and art rock band hailing from Manchester, UK. It must be something in the water, because it seems that half the great rock bands of all times came from one of 3 cities in the UK; London, Liverpool and of course Manchester. 

Aidan and I had a fun chat. He is a multi-talented guy. Not only a musician, but also an actor and a writer. Just goes to show, a true creative is always creating.  

I hope you enjoy. I will be featuring these guys in the Indie Artist Spotlight segment soon as well, so be on the lookout for that, but go check them out on their website and Spotify until then.

Send Me Your Kisses -Aa working progress, not yet released, but the video is a fan favorite.

Links to Lauren's pages on all streaming services and her social accounts can be found on her wbiste - http://www.laurennorstrom.com/

Featuring 3 tracks from EDM artist Kortokrax. As I mention near the end of the episode, this is a genre that I have a great deal of respect for. The more I try to learn the production side of music, the more I realize just how complicated it can get. Anyone who can produce results like this is one talented individual.

Walking the Shore: In this song I reminisce about wanting to be back home and thinking about friends and loved ones. It is a slow easy rock jam that sounds great in a pair of headphones.    Colorado: this funky groovy instrumental is perfect for a nice slow drive around town. It is a banger done right.    Funky Bump: the uptempo instrumental hits just right. Puts this song on, and go for a walk.          

This was a great chat, with a super talented guy. Mitch Beer and I discussed the creative process, being authentic, the Philly music scene, and a lot more.

Welcome to the first installment of this segment, The Indie Artist Spotlight. Each week, we will do an episode that features 3 songs by a particular artist, with a little commentary in between. The hope is to help as many artists as possible gain more exposure, and find you, the fan.

Karmaa brings us 3 songs this week.

1. Honest (with Mateus Seth) from our collab EP "Hear Me Before I'm Gone" that talks about only wanting a one night stand. 

2. Thinkin On Ya (feat. Mateus Seth and WhoIsS.A.S) single that is a chill party track. 

3. WERKKK leading single from my upcoming 2021 album. Pride Anthem that is all about inclusion, equality, confidence and self love. 

I hope you enjoy these tracks, bad come back next week. I'll try to have some of the kinks worked out of my delivery by then. And don't forget the Artist Interview episodes dropping every Monday morning. 

Keith and I got in the woods about music, our musical roots, and general fun stuff like that. Definitely an entertaining listen. Also, let me know what you think about the updated intro and outro by hitting me up at AutonomyPod on Instagram or Twitter.

So, what is one to do after becoming a tennis pro, and then getting a degree in neuroscience? What else, you become a rapper. I'm guessing this was not the intended path when Pally Ray first started college, yet here he is, killing it. It's an interesting story that he shared with us. Plus, we get into things like getting on playlists and other items that you will surely find useful.

Mr Hipster Pug Has 4 albums he has released in just 2 years, with another one due this summer. He explains why this will be his best work yet.

Want a master class in how to market yourself as a musician? Then you need to take a close look at what Bad Mary is doing. Mike and Amanda are a husband and wife duo. Together with Amanda's dad on drums and her former professor on guitar, they produce a hard hitting, yet melodic sound. And, when it comes to promotion, few do it better than this quartet. Mike and Amanda explain to us, how they share the promotional duties among the members. You will definitely want to listen to this ones more than once.

These are difficult times we live in. A lot of people are struggling due to this virus, but if we band together, we can help. As musicians, we have to have each other's backs. So, in an effort to help musicians who are missing gigs due to the Carona Virus, we have put several things into place. Through strategic planning, and massive amounts of engagement, you can come through this far stronger than before. Link from the episode: http://autonomytalent.com/quarantunes

Be prepared to laugh, as well as learn a few things about the cycles of social networks. Nathan is insanely funny, and I had a blast talking with him, as you will be able to tell. We discussed how one video was what set him on fire, on TicTok. There doesn't seem to be any real rhyme or reason to it when it does. Just keep putting out good stuff, and things will start to take off. It's then, up to you, to maintain that momentum.

Comedians Are a special breed. Things don't work the same for you guys and gals. You can't work out your material in a practice room, then hit the stage. It can only be done live. But, there is still ample opportunity to create mass amounts of content, with little additional effort. 

Be sure to subscribe, and listen to some of the past episodes. There is value in each and every one.

Stephen comes to us all the way from the UK with stories of making music, before and during the days of Covid. We covered a lot of ground, and had a lot of good laughs. I know you will enjoy this one.

Fine artists have built-in content, just like musicians. Each painting you do can be easily turned into 20 to 50 pieces of content, when spread across the interwebs. Listen to find out how, and be sure to subscribe!

Taken from a video I did a month or so ago, this tip is strictly for musicians, although a similar one for other artists will be coming soon. 

If you are a band, who practices at least once a week, you have tons of great content already. You just have to capture it. Listen to find out more. You can also see the video on our YouTube channel by searching Autonomy Talent, or go to http://autonomytalent.com/links

this has been a common topic as of late but this episode is all the reminder about how you cannot create too much content and even a few tips on how to create more

In this episode, I visit with a fellow marketer, with a passion for creatives. Vince, of the Forge Collective Agency is a great resource.

Hailing from the San Francisco bay area, Vince has started a company that focuses on promoting artists the right way. Not hacky, spammy ways. Not the ways that worked 20 years ago. But good, solid methods, that will build an audience, and a fan base. 

We talk about several marketing strategies, including his 3 step process he uses with his clients. There are several nuggets to be taken form this episode. You might even want to take notes (unless you're driving, then listen again later when you don't have to pay attention to the road).
