NEW VIDEO BY YEALLOW
The Yeallow guys got together in Strasbourg (France) in 2010.From the beginning, the adventure of these four accomplices with an unusual path, is built around a story of strong friendship where the vital need to make music is the common denominator. Rich and with very different influences, combining jazz, blues, alternative rock and thrash metal paths, the quartet defined its own identity with a very modern sound and catchy riffs of power rock. An personal tone of voice, a guitar drenched in testosterone, an uncompromising bass and drums, the french electro-touch just at the right place.

HARTLY “LINES”
“Lines is a visual concept of my reality, a metaphor of my recent break up with my ex… I’m known for breaking hearts so this basically convey another heart broken amongst the ones that I’ve already broken… The sadness or overall aspect is that I bring this all upon myself, henceforth being alone in the desert .. And the roses symbolize what actually got me caught up and what led to the break up, so it’s just an overall visual of what actually really happened” – Hartly

SHIGETO SHARES PERCUSSIVE SINGLE “DO MY THING”
Two years after Shigeto eleased his second full-length, No Better Time Than Now, the busy Detroit polymath, born Zach Saginaw, has finally taken a break from his endless hustle to update everyone on his current musical headspace. “I’ve been on the road for a long time now and also have been working on other projects,” he explains. With projects that include working on a new live ensemble arrangement, playing electronics in a jazz quartet, recording with Detroit rappers, and building a new studio, it’s no wonder we haven’t heard much from him since 2013. Saginaw describes Intermission as a collection songs that “point to the past, present, and future.”

“HATE TO SEE YOU GO” BY THE MANTLES
What makes the Mantles the Mantles? Maybe it’s the idiosyncratic motion and energy of Michael Olivares’ vocals, the way they alternately stroll and hop assuredly over the music. Or maybe it’s the band’s sound itself, familiar and classic yet increasingly distinctive, and growing-with acoustic texture; keyboard hooks and licks; and resonant and representative drumbeats-to its deepest, warmest, fullest, and most colorful on their third album, All Odds End (out October 16th on Slumberland Records), a record that is quintessentially Mantles from the sheer sonic splendor and elation-and biting words-of the album-opening “Island” on through to the final harmony of “Stay.”
