Dead History returns with a New Album available June 6th!!!!!

Dead History are a rock band from Minneapolis whose sound is a blend of post-hardcore, emo, shoegaze, and space rock that “pays homage to the fuzzy comfort of Swervedriver and Quicksand” [Paste Magazine] while often drifting into “atmospheric Hum-gaze territory” [BrooklynVegan].

SLEAVE is a dynamic four piece whose sound brings together elements of alternative rock, punk, and American hardcore while also being reminiscent of the American grunge and emo movements of the 90's.
 

Formed in Richmond, VA in 2016, Sleave began after Julien Robert and Charlie Bowen met at a party, where they quickly bonded over a shared interest in punk and alternative music. A series of impromptu jam sessions at Julien’s parent’s house during the fall of 2015 quickly turned into a full project.

Tired Radio is the brainchild of Brooklyn-based musician Anthony Truzzolino. 

Started as a solo project in 2017, Truzzolino released two independent singles before taking a hiatus to pursue other interests. During that break, Truzzolino continued to write songs that would eventually lead him to revisit the project in 2019 with the addition of drummer Kevin Daly. 

Truzzolino’s endearing rasp, catchy hooks, and anthemic choruses combined with Daly’s driving rhythms and distinctive fills led the band to Gradwell House Recording in New Jersey to start work on a full-length debut. 

A bruising, melodic journey down the paths less travelled, their Music infuses volume, power, and infectious choruses with the energy, independence, and autonomy of punk rock to deliver blue-collar, Americana-flavored anthem after anthem after anthem.

 So turn on, tune in, and turn it up. Welcome to Tired Radio.

Formed in 2018, ‘glock-rock’ stalwarts Lakes have turned plenty of heads since emerging from the depths of Watford’s DIY. 

The band are settling into 2023 with their sights set on a metamorphosis, driven by a desire to forge themselves into something bigger and brighter than ever before. Step forth new album Elysian Skies. Recorded with Tom Peters at Trapdoor Studios in Liverpool, Lakes took to the studio to make their sound enormous, leaning into their penchant for positivity, charm and twinkling catharsis all while wrapping their themes in echoing guitar effects and soaring vocal harmonies. 

Where their last album Start Again saw Lakes take their darkest moments and come out of the other side, Elysian Skies is an evolution of that woe and emerging into a realm that is full of colour, brightness and hope. It’s the band forging their own path and signalling a new phase in 2023, not quite the re-birth of their previous record, but a phase that contains the very essence of what the band have grown into — and what they do best.

This week I have the beautiful opportunity to speak with Popeye Vogelsang. There are many times in ones' life when they look for something to save them from the destruction in their life. Today I was blessed to say thank you to the one who saved me. The saying "music saved my life" is something I hold on to because it's true, and Popeye's band FARSIDE did just that for me. Popeye joined me shortly after his first live performance with his new band CALLING HOURS, and if his excitement about the new project doesn't get you stoked about it, I don't know what will. Join me in saying thank you to Popeye for all he has meant to me and allowing me to continue to listen to music and have a great f@<king time!!!!

CALLING HOURS album out fall of 2023!!!!!

On this week’s episode we travel around the world to meet up with multitalented Australian artist HAYDEN CALNIN. From early beginnings Hayden has carved out a path refusing to adhere to convention and genre. By the time the self-taught, multi-instrumentalist had graduated from film school, a major in sound design had set the scene for Hayden to take an interest in music production. On his first two self-produced EPs, Hayden explored the realms of everything from folk through to downbeat, drawing comparisons to artists such as M83, Bon Iver, James Blake and Dawn Golden. Hayden not only creates music for himself he helps others realize their own visions by producing and writing with other artists as well as composing film scores for local Australian filmmakers. Hayden has also had syncs in popular television shows like Suits, The Good Doctor, The Vampire Diaries, Teen Wolf, The 100, and So You Think You Can Dance USA as well as the UK trailer for Academy® Award-nominated favorite Room.

BLAKE MORGAN is an American musician, singer, music producer, record label owner, and activist based in New York City. After releasing the alternative rock solo album Anger's Candy (1997) on Phil Ramone's N2K Sony/Red label,he began producing music independently and founded the label Engine Company Records in 2002, which in 2012 became ECR Music Group.

Morgan was born and raised in Manhattan. He began playing the piano and going to music school at age five, with the aim of becoming a professional pianist. At age six his interest began to switch from classical composers to The Beatles, after his mother introduced him to Meet The Beatles. In first grade he began attending the United Nations International School in New York City. He stayed there for 12 years, and graduated with an International Baccalaureate. He concurrently continued his piano studies at Greenwich House Music School in Manhattan. Morgan's first gig was at CBGB's in New York, when older students from his school recruited him to play keyboards in their band. Since he was legally too young for the venue, they used his then short stature to smuggle him inside the club in a bass drum case. As the show began, Morgan came out of the case to jump on stage and play the synths. Morgan's political activism on behalf of artists began in May 2013, when a pointed email exchange between him and the founder of Pandora, Tim Westergren, regarding lowered royalties, was published in the Huffington Post. The article was met with much enthusiasm in the artist community, and Pandora lost $130 million in the stock market the following morning.

Today I had the distinct pleasure to speak with an artist I have admired and adored throughout his illustrious career, JEFF CAUDILL. Jeff has been a part of some of my favorite projects through the years, GAMEFACE, MARCH, YOUR FAVORITE TRAIN WRECK and now he is back with his new band LOW COAST. Jeff was very open and honest about his life in the music business and what led him to what he described as “the band he was looking for.” Jeff went on to tell the story of a father meeting another cool father and talking about their love of music and BOOM, LOW COAST came into our lives. LOW COAST is Jeff Caudill (vocals/guitar)  Mike Fratantuno (bass), Terence Yoshiak (drums), Dave Hemann (guitar), and Brian Lapin (keyboards), and they wrote and recorded the 10 songs that make up the band's upcoming debut album, Existing The Dream, due May 26 via Spartan Records. 

LOW COAST - “Existing The Dream”   OUT TOMORROW MAY 26TH!!!!!!!
