First Listen: Garrett Paknis – Bad Behaviour + New Video

First Listen: The A.M.s – Ignite The Sky
The A.M.s have today released their new single titled 'Ignite The Sky'. Deep alt-folk with substance is what I hear when I press play. Best to listen to this track while in a state of transition. This will be your guide. That subtle friend with a warm hand on your should letting you know that you are not the only one while pointing you forward. Isn't that what music is about?
First Listen: The Barefoot Bandit – At The River (ft. Charlene Soraia)
The Barefoot Bandit has today released their new single titled 'At The River'. Originally a track by The Groove Armada, The Barefoot Bandit takes that song and makes it their own with a different bit of soul and a different kind of groove.
First Listen: My Brothers And I – Anger & Grace (Acoustic)
My Brothers And I have today premiered their new single, which is an acoustic version of their song 'Anger & Grace'. A more intimate version for a closer setting, the song isn't given a new life so much aas a different life. A reimage, in a sense. The acoustic version really shows the dynamic and soul of the song while it also showcases the vocals and lets the true talent of each band member shine in ways you may never have known had you just heard the original version. That original version, however, is a gem in it's own right. Think bookends of genius.
First Listen: Pinky Perzelle – No Games (ft. Ede Eren)
Pinky Perzelle has just premiered his new single titled 'No Games'. Electro-soul-cosmo-funk is the term that first hit my mind when I got that first listen. I have no idea if I made that up, but it fits like a glove. If this is Pinky's first single, I can't wait to hear what's next.
First Listen: Casii Stephan – Trust Fall
Casii Stephan has today released her new single titled 'Trust Fall'. Fresh from the juggernaut of her last single 'Already Gone', Casii delves deeper into the self and soul with a slow burn for summer with the sounds of emotion of the last four decades culminating into what we have now. A peak into pure originality. Wide and varied music flowing free just under Casii's earnest vocals.
First Listen: The Black Skies – Save My Soul
The Black Skies are set to drop their debut single titled 'Save My Soul' this Friday (July 22nd). Roots rock with rebellion and a whiskey soaked soul gives that guitar grit and outlaw attitude for good measure. This song has that feeling you get in your gut when you've had enough and realize your worth with that fuck-all attitude that more of us need to get what needs done done.

First Listen: Murdocco – Breaking Away
Murdocco is set to release her new single titled 'Breaking Away'. Consider this track a sign that Murdocco is at a crossroad in her musical journey. Starting off with a simple guitar and a feeling of dread and longing. I found it brilliant at how this song actually starts. Almost as if it doesn't want to. Like it does not want to convey what it is about to say. The music emotionally follows the message. I found that totally amazing. It's against the norm.
First Listen: San Pedro Collective – Night Cruising
San Pedro Collective have released their new single titled 'Night Cruising' via Funky Si Records. Galactically funky and retro-esque-ly fun, 'Night Cruising' captures that moment when motion collides with emotion and makes you forget...

First Listen: Anou – Strange Goodbyes
Anou has today released his new single titled 'Strange Goodbyes'. Disjointed and gloriously dark, 'Strange Goodbyes' is as much a sonic soliloquy as it is cinematic requiem. Bound to stir up individual feelings and...
First Listen: Rooted – Waiting + Q&A
Rooted has released their new sing titled 'Waiting'. One thing you may not realize, or quickly forget, is that these are middle school students. Remember that while listening to 'Waiting'. Because you will then hear the musical ambition, the talent, the songwriting, and so on. Appearing to come from musicians of much older stature and feeling later in their careers, we know that we are listening to a band in that 'we knew them when' moment.
First Listen: Joe Hertz – Hideaway (ft. Sebastian Gaskin)
Joe Hertz has today released his new single titled 'Hideaway', featuring Sebastian Gaskin. Smooth with the rhythm and soulfully sharp with each lyric, 'Hideaway' is that slow burn meant for summer and that fill-my-heart track with just enough RnB to crossover and that feeling that only your next favorite song can give you.
First Listen: Forgetmyname – High
Forgetmyname has today released her new single titled 'High'. Fresh for the summer and hot off the tail of her previous single 'Complex', Forgetmyname gives us the musical bookend with a fun filled longing for those summers when we all gathered around the above-ground pool with that enormous cordless phone with the retractable antenna and the kids just getting out of little league ready for a swim and jamming to the radio playing the best FM hits of the day while dad gets the gas grill ready.
First Listen: Sofia Gillani – Flames
Sofia Gillani has today released her new single titled 'Flames'. Part soul, part R n' B, all original. Set as a slow churning burn done in the style of a hungry artist, Sofia lends a message for overcoming that toxic part of your life that acts as a roadblock. And, she does it with style.
First Listen: Dawson Fuss – Upper Hand
Dawson Fuss has today released his new single titled ‘Upper Hand’. I have said this a few times before, but I will say it again; I say that Dawson is one of those rare breeds of artists that have the potential to become a true legend. What I mean by this is, apart from having found his sound at such a young age, Dawson has that sense of self and selflessness that makes an artist continue to expand and grow musically and professionally.
First Listen: Lane Shuler – Eye Of The Storm (feat. Rob Sonic)
Lane Shuler has released his new single titled 'Eye Of The Storm', featuring Rob Sonic. Calamity in the form of collaborative chaos shoved straight into your ears, the song is relentless with an audio assault that is as tough as it is tangible.
