La Fille shares new intensely building power-pop album closer “Said & Done” via Idobi’s Rise Rock n’ Shine
“‘Said & Done” was the final song I wrote for Alright Already. While writing the record, I began to face a lot of my bad habits. Like realizing I’d spent too much time worrying about what people were going to think about me or my music. ‘Said & Done’ summarizes that experience for me. It’s about choosing to accept these habits instead of being stuck with self-judgment and resentment. With that acceptance, I’ve been able to let go of regret and leave those mistakes in the past.” – Jay Louis, frontman of La Fille

TONY T. SALES’ NEW BAND ARDENT SONS TO RELEASE THEIR DEBUT LP MAY 3RD | SHARES NEW TRACK
Ardent Sons is a rock and roll band from Oakland, California, fronted by Flamin’ Groovies drummer Tony T. Sales. Their songs explore classic themes of love and loss, travels between broken homes and shaky relationships, and redemption in life’s near-forgotten moments. Sales’ musical career started with a lot of listening. By the time his dad and uncle gave him drums for his 10th birthday, he had already internalized their musical legacy, the elder Tony and brother Hunt having made legendary recordings with Iggy Pop, Todd Rundgren and David Bowie, among others. Years later, the jazz, R&B, and rock-and-roll that was drilled into his head would lay the foundation for his own music. After spending years working with several Bay Area groups including Oakland’s art-rockers Everyone is Dirty, and late ’70s SF punk band Negative Trend, Sales finally picked up a guitar and began writing in earnest. Following a few years of demo recordings, live shows, and line-up changes, Ardent Sons, whose principle members are Sales and Bay Area multi-instrumentalist Dave Flores, is ready to release their debut record, No More Than This. It is a sincere reflection on life unfolding, always looking up, but grounded in the impermanence of the human condition.
