Amy Speace Launches European Tour
Wildflower Records artist Amy Speace will be touring throughout November in the UK, Germany, Austria and Luxemburg in support of her recently released album ‘Songs For Bright Street’ in German through O-tone/Edel and the rest of Europe through ADA/Ryko.

Greasy twang, driving rhythms, a sense of melody and brevity contribute to a sound that draws on influences from the entirety of rock and roll’s storied history. This is The Bosch, a New York City quartet who sounds something like what might happen “if Brian Wilson, Dick Dale, and Joey Ramone [...]

Vandaveer is the town-folk, city-pop, solo song and dance routine stated for the record and committed to tape by one Mark Charles Heidinger. In recent seasons this Mark Charles character traversed the mighty American highways spreading golden pop rock cheer and debauchery as principle singer, songwriter, hand-clapper and chorus-yelper for The Apparitions.

Neva Geoffrey’s melodies have come together to form torch songs that take you to the depths of obscurity while remaining in your heart. With a record that emits her journey, you’ll remember the now distanced moods that have once possessed you. The tender in her voice is found weaving through guitar strings, sweeping piano pop, [...]

Although they have played Glastonbury before, I find it [...]

For the last couple of years I’ve been wondering if the Dropkick Murphys might very well be the most popular band in Boston (Massachusetts, that is). They’re one of the best live bands out there right now, and always seem to be on tour somewhere in the world - since 1996, playing punk irish folk [...]

In keeping up with the technology of today it’s important for bands to be aware of the trends on the net so that they can get their music out to as many people as possible.
A lot has changed in just the last three years or so and old school musicians might be wise to have [...]

One thing I’ve learned over [...]
