​​We had the pleasure of interviewing The Wrecks over Zoom video! ​​ ​​Please share while we are #togetherathome ​🏠​ ​​ ​​"May 1st marked the release of Infinitely Ordinary, the debut album from alt-rockers The Wrecks. Made up of 8 honest tracks that fully encompass the Los Angeles-based quartet's desire for perfection that is anything but ordinary, this album is the culmination of over two years of hard work. I'd love for you to dance and sing and rock out to these songs like I am today - https://thewrecks.ffm.to/infinitelyordinaryus ​​ ​​Led by vocalist/producer Nick Anderson and rounded out by Aaron Kelley (bass), Nick "Schmizz" Schmidt (guitar) and Billy Nally (drums), The Wrecks have created an album that jumps from the anxiety-inducing "Freaking Out" to the self-sabotage anthem "Fvck Somebody", the heart-pounding "Out Of Style," to the introspective ballads title track - and throughout it all, Anderson had one goal in mind. "Music has to be honest for me, before anything else," he says. "All of our songs are through stories, the anecdotes all happened—that's the only way I know how to write something that feels impactful." ​​The Wrecks formed in 2015 in Thousand Oaks, CA. With heavy influences from The Pixies, The Strokes, and Weezer, they snuck into a recording studio to self-produce their debut EP, We Are The Wrecks. The group's 2018 follow-up, Panic Vertigo, earned similar acclaim, with Ones To Watch hailing the four-piece as "indie rock's best kept-secret" and Billboard calling them "as authentic and honest as possible." Since then, the band has secured a number of nationwide tours while opening for bands such as Nothing But Thieves, Silversun Pickups, The Struts, New Politics, Paramore, and All Time Low." ​​ ​​ ​​We want to hear from you!

​​We had the pleasure of interviewing brother sundance over the phone! ​​ ​​Please share while we are #togetherathome ​🏠​ ABOUT brother sundance: ​​"Singer, songwriter, and producer brother sundance assembles a dark, yet dynamic world out of personal production punctuated by original loops, glitchy samples, multi-instrument proficiency, and confessional lyrics that feel ripped right from a lonely late night text message. ​​ ​​Born Rylan Talerico in South Florida, brother sundance went from sweaty punk shows in front of a dozen kids at fifteen-years-old to widespread renown for his 2018 EP, Honey. Recorded in his childhood bedroom, it generated 8 million-plus streams. Earning the endorsement of Apple Music as "Artist of the Week," he performed alongside the likes of Cage The Elephant, Portugal. The Man, Weezer, and Mondo Cozmo. The 2019 single "Monsters" [feat. Ella Boh] cranked out 4 million-plus streams while The Deli praised it as "dark anti-pop that sounds like it come from a studio filled with producers." Between tours, his life spun out of control. He translated this tumult into music. Almost like a film director, he meticulously cuts each element together to roll tape on the emotionally charged narrative of his 2020 EP, I HURT YOU, I MADE THIS [Warner Records], heralded by "NIGHTMARES."" ​​ ​​Follow Brother Sundance: ​​Website: www.brothersundance.com ​​Facebook: facebook.com/brothersundance ​​Instagram: instagram.com/brothersundance ​​YouTube: youtube.com/brothersundance ​​ ​​We want to hear from you!

​​We had the pleasure of interviewing The Hails over Zoom video! ​​ ​​Please share while we are #togetherathome ​🏠​ ​​ ​​"One of the best things you'll hear all week is a track called 'Situations' by The Hails. If you haven't heard of this Florida native band, then consider this to be your crash course on why you need to take notice of these guys." - Lyrical Lemonade ​​ ​​"The track opens with a soft, intertwining guitar loop, offering listeners a slightly lighter approach than previous single, 'Sugar.'

Despite the weird times lately, The Hails tapped into the creativity and longing to connect with their fans by creating an audio-video for 'Situations' via Zoom with some lucky listeners from all over the world." - The Luna Collective ​​ ​​Fatefully meeting at the University of Florida, group members Robbie Kingsley (vocals), Franco Solari (guitar and vocals), Dylan McCue (guitar), Andre Escobar (bass), and Zach Levy (drums) began their journey as The Hails.

We had the pleasure of interviewing Quinn DeVeaux over Zoom video! ​​ ​​Please share while we are #togetherathome ​​ ​​ ​​"Soul, early blues, and old-school country-influenced musician Quinn DeVeaux recently released the energetic foot-stomping Book of Soul via QDV Records. The Nashville-based artist demonstrates his musical versatility and vitality once again with this new record; an uplifting affair that brings to mind the sound of recordings from Memphis' famed Sun Studios in another era. Entirely written and produced by Quinn himself, Book of Soul was recorded in Nashville, TN at The Bomb Shelter, projecting a warm aura that is both rapturous and healing with a focus on modern storytelling. ​​ ​​Songs like the resplendent "Been Too Long" and sumptuous "All I Need" fit right alongside contemporaries Nathaniel Rateliff, Anderson Paak and Leon Bridges where the sweetly subdued "Come On Home" and rhythmic "Trouble" are reminiscent of the best Al Green classic Stax soul grooves. In between, other influences pop up like the Bill Withers-flavored "Gimme Your Love" or the early New Orleans R&B feel of "Take Me Home" and "Walk and Talk." All influences are taken to new heights in Quinn's hands. "I love this record and feel that I am at the beginning of a new era in my creative life," says Quinn. "I want as many people to hear this record as possible and looking back I'm not sure I ever felt that way. This record has more of my soul in it than anything I've done." ​​ ​​Quinn DeVeaux is an old head on young shoulders. His signature "blue beat soul" sound is one half retro, one half future, paying homage to blues, R&B and soul that came before, but looking forward by putting his own modern mark on it with self-penned songs and unique guitar stylings. He spent his early years in Gary, Indiana (birthplace of The Jackson 5) living with his grandmother, a former jazz singer. Though Quinn's early years were rooted in church choir, blues, old-school country and soul were in his blood. While still a teenager, Quinn headed west to San Francisco with just a guitar and his golden voice, settling in the Mission District, where he became a founding member of the local group Blue Roots. ​​ ​​Quinn went on to form Quinn DeVeaux & The Blue Beat Review and released a string of well-regarded albums that garnered accolades from the Bay Area music press. His raucous rollicking live shows packed venues and dance floors with irresistible beats and his smooth soulful voice. Quinn is a commanding frontman whose electrifying live performances gives audiences a boisterous good time. SF Weekly raved, "He calls his music 'blue beat.' But what comes out when Quinn DeVeaux hits the mic might as well be called pure joy…the warm grit of his guitar work, DeVeaux has a joyous sound all his own." ​​ ​​Quinn is a veteran of the festival show circuit with performances at Outside Lands (audience of 200,000) Joshua Tree Festival, Master Musicians Festival, Lionel Hampton Jazz Festival and Stern Grove Festival where he has taken the same stage as Aaron Neville, Taj Mahal, Kool & The Gang, Rebirth Brass Band and more. ​​ ​​Book of Soul is modern in delivery, but the release reminds the listener of a simpler time when soul and R&B ruled the airwaves. As the San Francisco Chronicle noted, "Quinn is one of the Bay Area's best-kept secrets (at least for now)"... and Book of Soul is changing that." ​​ ​​ ​​We want to hear from you!
