ANDY SHAUF NEW SINGLE
There’s an innate stillness and depth to Shauf and his music – a quiet, riveting strength that subtly steals its way into a listener’s bones. He’s a storyteller: a singer of heartbreak and regrets, isolation and loneliness, small-town heroes and smaller-town killers. Throughout The Bearer of Bad News, Shauf studies the universal through two to five-minute microcosms, spinning tales as few others can where accidental, redemptive victories (the jaunty charmer “Hometown Hero”) stir alongside evocative, heartrending tales of self-doubt and lost loves (“I’m Not Falling Asleep,” the achingly beautiful “Covered In Dust,” “You’re Out Wasting”). There’s not one, but three cinematic murder ballads that slowly unfold like the greatest of tragedies: “Wendell Walker,” an epic account of adultery and betrayal, as well as “Jerry Was A Clerk” and “My Dear Helen,” sister songs that skillfully tell two sides of one unintended death. Shauf’s tender, singular tenor guides the way over muted instrumentation of softly-strummed guitars, dampened drums, weathered piano, and clarinet, which lends its unique timbre to frequently brighten – or hauntingly underscore – the songs’ darker undercurrents.

NEW ALBUM COMING FROM BEEMA
The Florida hip-hop scene gained a bit of diversity in 2008 when the Ft. Pierce-native, Beema joined the scene. Since then, she has been consistently releasing high-powered mixtapes and has become known as one of the favorites. The Sun Shine State native is preparing to release her much awaited debut album entitled, “I’m a G.A.W.D”.
“My music has meaning… Contrary to popular belief people still turn to music for knowledge and healing, and I give that in this album. Eleven tracks of straight lyrics and melody from a grown woman’s perspective,” said Beema. This album will be different from what a lot of people are used to hearing in hip-hop albums as it is aimed towards the grown and sexy crowd instead of the stereotypical street tales.

FREE EP BY CHEEBO/COSM
“Dissonance” is the second offering from the south coast hip hop duo that is Cheebo and Cosm. It pretty much picks up where “Hollow Sun” left off and goes straight into a tirade of twisting and turning rhymes over a heavy yet soulful sample driven track from Cheebo. This sets the the tone for the project by constructing the chaotic yet down to earth world in which “Dissonance” takes place. This holds true through out insomuch as Cosm commentates on the world around him whilst keeping listenings actively listening through metaphors and wordplay lending multiple layers to each track such as “Relic”, “Gremlins”, and moments in “So What”.

LAURA SKYE “MY LOVE”
To say Laura Skye has energy would be an understatement. Her debut single “My Love” is as infectiously energetic as the singer herself. Laura doesn’t like to talk about herself but prefers her music to do the talking. Laura could tell you about the past decade she has lived on stage playing to all walks of life, in all types of situations through sound checks to setbacks that just drove on her determined spirit, but she would rather show you.
The epitome of a pocket rocket, she stands only 5 foot tall, yet her voice and personality are larger than life. When I asked the “little but loud” singer to describe her sound, she says, like herself, it is “indefinable” but if she had to put a name on it “I would call it retro fabulous”. Her weapon of choice is her words, alongside her favourite telecaster guitar, which she creates her music on and is rarely seen without, on or off stage.

SENSES FAIL REVEAL TITLE OF NEXT ALBUM
SENSES FAIL has released the title of their next album which will be called Pull The Thorns From Your Heart. The band has entered the studio today to begin recording – an album that they believe will be by far their heaviest, most adventurous record to date. Shaun Lopez (Far, Deftones, Crosses) will act as producer and engineer.
Buddy Nielsen, vocalist of Senses Fail, had the following to say about Pull The Thorns From Your Heart:
“This album is a continuation of the sound we established on Renacer and builds out of those soundscapes. Lyrically this record is about finding peace and love within yourself through the letting go of habitual patterns of emotional and physical self abuse, finding courage in vulnerability and surrendering to the idea that love is the path to liberation. We are so very lucky to be making music this far into our careers and we cannot wait to share it.”

The Washington Post reports “Regardless of how many of these sites the FBI has seized today, it’s a near certainty that dozens more will spring up to take their place tomorrow.” Rumors of a Silk 3.0 have begun to circulate.
