BENJAMIN SCHEUER RELEASES NEW SONG “HUNDRED FEET TALL” ACCOMPANIED BY HEARTWARMING CHILDREN’S BOOK
Illustrated by his wife, Jemima Williams, the book follows a young rabbit who discovers a “little brown seed” on a snowy walk with his family. The young rabbit returns home to plant the seed in a jar with the promise that they will help it grow. With water, light and lots of love, the seed begins to grow; as the seed flourishes, so too does the young rabbit’s family. The encouraging moral of the story that all children will come to understand is that with unconditional love and devotion, people and things grow strong.

Las Vegas’ notorious trouble makers OTHERWISE have announced the “DEFY DIVISION TOUR” in support of their new studio album Defy produced by Matt Good on Mascot Label Group. ‘Lifted’, the first single from the album (currently in the Active Rock top 30) reflects on past experiences of living an excessive lifestyle and previous tour shenanigans while other tracks on the album defines the bands perspective on both social and political climates. The edgy lyrics, “I am not leaning to the left or right, I stand up straight to fight,” and “I have to scream cause I’m not white”encompasses a perspective the band has felt restricted to voice in the past. Lead vocalist Adrian Patrick mentions, “We’re currently living in very divisive & polarizing times, but what both sides of the aisle need to realize is that the left wing & the right wing are part of the same damn bird. thankfully we still have the unifying power of rock n roll with the hope we can all learn to fly together.”

“I Shall Be Free” is the second single in the series of four 7″s leading up to the next full-length LP. Each single being a seasonal release. “I Shall Be Free” is the Spring installment. The song is defiant anti-work protest punque. The slash your face chords and bassless undertow channels an AC/DC-Cramps hybrid that completely misses the mark. Primo Hot Snakes.
Anna Burch shares a mesmerizing new single “Party’s Over” off If You’re Dreaming
When Anna Burch introduced herself on her 2018 debut Quit The Curse, it was with a concentrated wash of energetic, serotonin-boosting pop. Jangly guitars, blithe vocal harmonies and an occasional undercurrent of grungy fuzz all converged in seemingly straightforward songs that hid their complexities under sunny hooks. The impact of the songs was immediate and exciting, presenting narratives of confusion and upheaval with melodies so bright it was hard to do anything but smile. Two years later, Burch’s follow up If You’re Dreaming takes us down a different path than its predecessor, shedding some nervous energy in favor of a deeper exploration of an internal world.

Erki Pärnoja’s cinematic indie album ‘Leva’
Estonian guitarist and songwriter Erki Pärnoja releases his new album “Leva” on 12th of February. Pulsating between euphoria and melancholia Pärnoja’s fresh work is more diverse and sensitive revealing his vocals compared to the previous instrumental albums.
