New York’s The Clamor have kept busy since releasing their debut album Love & Criminals early last year.

Premiere: PARRIS MITCHELL examines himself on self-reflective banger ‘Problem Child’
He styles himself in all-caps, and the new song from New Yorker PARRIS MITCHELL is definitely worth shouting about.

A few weeks back, the Los Angeles-based Chicagoan Phil Galloni announced his third EP as Waverly Drive, and he’s sharing the collection’s second single today.

Premiere: Phil Galloni is pushing his luck on ‘After the Show’; new EP arrives in May
Chicago’s Phil Galloni has been making music as Waverly Drive for a couple of years, and has been building quite the head of steam, making the kind of blown-out indie-pop that sems simple and direct on the surface with much more going on underneath. He runs the Los Angeles studio Voltiv Sound, and it’s there …
Premiere: Ashlynn Malia prepares for lift-off with eponymous debut album, shares ‘Villain’

Eventually returning to a full touring schedule, the R&B artist departed the spotlight to begin work on his …
Premiere: Rustbelt prepares for imminent EP release with ‘Gimme A Sign’
Milwaukee’s John Chiaverina made a career as Juiceboxxx, tore it all down and started again. This is the story of what came next – what he’s doing now.

Premiere: Joseph Luca announces second EP and shares ‘My Best Dancing Shoes’
Back in November, Los Angeleno Joseph Luca released Ouroboros (Life), the first in a triptych of EP releases to come from him over the course of a year. Or so we thought at the time – it turns out that the second instalment is on the way a lot sooner than anticipated. Maybe squash that …
