ELIOT BRONSON SINGLE ON GUITAR WORLD

Today, Bronson is premiering the driving “Comin’ For Ya North Georgia Blues” via Guitar World Acoustic Nation. “I was really having fun with words and ideas on that one, trying to paint picture of a relationship,” explains Bronson. “If this album was an action movie, ‘Comin’ For Ya North Georgia Blues,’ would be the car chase scene.”

FLY GOLDEN EAGLE VIDEO PREMIERE

When you lower the needle down onto a Fly Golden Eagle record, you’ll hear a few different things at once. You’ll hear the stomp-heavy drama of T. Rex. You’ll hear the swirling colors and textures of The Doors. You’ll even here a growl of punk rock mixed effortlessly with the choral echoes of the gospel church. And it is all of these – the psych-rock-glam-funk-gospel sounds – that unify to fully form this Nashville quartet and their upcoming LP, Quartz, the band’s first-ever release on ATO Records. Courtesy of Wondering Sound, watch the band rock ‘n roll inside a kaleidoscope in the new video (directed by Joshua Shoemaker) for their track “Horse’s Mouth”.

Astro remained with the band until November 2013, when he left to team up again with Ali and Mickey.

SELENA GARCIA COVERS “WHY”

NYC-based singer and songwriter Selena Garcia just released her reworked
version of the classic single “Why” by Annie Lennox for an intimate cover that’s sure to bring back the 90s cult obsession.

Selena has developed her standalone sound and songwriting by fusing elements of soul, pop-rock and jazz, all resulting in an smoky, but eclectic mix that can loosely be compared to artists such as Adele, Fiona Apple and The Kills.

JACK CARTY SINGLE FROM ‘ESK’

Time flies, and increasingly, so does Jack Carty. It may have been four years since his debut EP Wine & Consequence and his unassuming arrival on the Australian music scene, but that’s certainly not time misspent. Two full length albums – 2011’s One Thousand Origami Birds and 2012’s Break Your Own Heart – quickly followed, as did a collaborative EP with Sydney based man-of-mystery Casual Psychotic titled The Predictable Crisis Of Modern Life, showcasing a darker and more experimental side to Carty’s writing away from his indie-folk roots.

LITTLE DAYLIGHT DEBUT COVER OF DAVID BOWIE’S “LET’S DANCE”

“One thing to be said about Little Daylight’s rendition of “Let’s Dance” is that it keeps things unexpected and exciting. From the expected drop early on that teases you with a guitar solo before diving in to an experimental break that makes up the songs finale, the song if far from a conservative recreation of the original. In bringing together the many elements and moods that make up the cover, they all mesh together to form a cohesive and flowing mix of synth pop and venturing electronica.” – EARMILK

DILLY DALLY ON STEREOGUM

Dilly Dally began as a teenage dream shared by Katie Monks and Liz Ball. Obsessed with slurred poetry, epic ballads, and grungy guitars, they’ve been writing music together since 2009. The band itself, however, has taken much longer to become what it is today.

Members have come and gone, but just recently the two best friends welcomed new drummer, Benjamin Reinhartz (Beliefs), and bassist, Jimmy Billy Rowlinson (Mexican Slang), into the project. This new found collaborative energy has ignited their live show, drawing attention from Toronto’s renowned noise/punk scene. Pretty weird considering Monks’ fierce loyalty to a classic pop song structure.
