New Release Rival feat. VAALEA “Intoxicated By Youth”
“Intoxicated by Youth” delves into the carelessness you can afford when you are young, how you can use it, and abuse it. Society seemingly favours the young, capitalising on the invention and consumption of goods and services that makes us look and feel younger. Regardless of the inevitability of growing older, youthfulness can be an inspired mindset, but instead for many becomes an obsession or unhealthy denial.

Thirsty Curses’ new self-titled album is out now and available
Raleigh-based Thirsty Curses is garage rock outfit formed in 2017 as a vehicle for singer-songwriter Wilson Getchell’s material. Thirsty Curses is comprised of Wilson Getchell (vocals, guitar, piano) and Kelley Otwell (lead guitar), Phillip Harrington (drums), and Clayton Herring (bass).
Thirsty Curses’ sound covers a vast array of rock ‘n roll subgenres including punk, folk, country, prog rock, 90s alternative, and pop. Indeed, as was noted by Alternative Addiction in their review of the band’s sophomore record All Shook Up (2018), “the band has an eclectic sound that touches on everything from punk rock to folk. They sound like a cross between the Avett Brothers and Rise Against. On their new album that diverse sound is delightfully all over the place.” Dying Scene online music mag similarly raved “As schizophrenic as their genre influences seems to be, the one common denominator is that I dig every single track I’m hearing.”
BISHOP BRIGGS RELEASES HIGHLY-ANTICIPATED SOPHOMORE ALBUM “CHAMPION” TODAY VIA ISLAND RECORDS
“I truly feel like this is the most vulnerable music I’ve ever written. I decided to not hide behind my own metaphors and poetry and however difficult it was to write, I told the truth. I wrote this in the midst of a breakup and I truly felt so alone. In hindsight, I think I wrote the album that I needed to hear at that time. So, my hope is that it does the same for you. I hope this album can be the hand that wipes the tears from your cheeks, the shiver down your spine when you feel like yourself again and the lightness in your spirit when you have closure…even if its just for a fleeting moment.” – Bishop Briggs
CHAMPION follows Church of Scars, Briggs’s widely acclaimed album that exploded early last year and debuted Top 10 on the Billboard Album Charts. The tracks join Briggs’s earlier critically acclaimed singles, including “Wild Horses,” “White Flag,” and RIAA Platinum certified “River.”

Swedish sensation + environmentalist Frida Sundemo releases single “Nothing Can Hurt You”
Frida explains first release “Nothing Can’t Hurt Me” saying, “I want to convey the feeling of perfect freedom, the one that can be difficult to hold for more than a few seconds. I think if you have experienced moments as a child where you have complete security, then comes the rest of life where we try to find that feeling again.” This release can be described as an upbeat electro-pop bop, in comparison to the upcoming release “Gazelles,” out on December 6th and more of a string-heavy, billowing ballad.
Greyson Chance Releases “Boots” With Video
Says Greyson, “‘Boots’ at its core, is a narrative addressing pop culture’s current usage of Western imagery. When I was writing the song, I found myself imagining what Johnny Cash would be like if he were around and making music in 2019. I thought about what he would wear, how he would act, and what he would write about. My conclusion was that it all would look and feel considerably different than these stars wearing cowboy hats these days. Being from Oklahoma, I understand that being ‘Western’ isn’t all about the style, it’s about an attitude, an obsessive loyalty and an unwavering wildness. ‘Boots’ is truly just an observation of what I see in pop culture currently, and what I think about it.”

HE RELEASED HIS LATEST TRACK ON ROCK MAFIA/INTERSCOPE RECORDS
The song caught the attention of Paper Magazine, “No matter what, Yoshi can’t shake the feeling of a mysterious, alluring “you.” And neither can we: the song’s deceptively sunny melodies and abundant hooks, full of stuttered vocals and repetition, are bound to be committed to memory. We warned you.” Today, he releases “Martyr,” another genre-defying single to add to his catalog. On the slow-tempoed, guitar-driven song the singer, songwriter and producer smoothly sings about fighting for love.
