It’s been a couple of years since we last heard from Idaho’s Up Is The Down Is The – their most recent album, The Mind Strays, arrived in June of 2020, and they’ve been quiet since then, until recently. No news did however turn out to be good news in this case, as the quartet …

PREMIERE: Chicagoan Safety Town is ready to ‘Bloom’ as he announces debut album for November
A song whose chorus is, ‘It seems like everything runs on repeat’ could be a little too on-the-nose as a covid-era track, but it suits our current times so well that it comes as a relief to learn that it was finished pre-pandemic, not to mention the album it’s the lead single from. Say hello …
