Gina Birch (The Raincoats) unveils debut solo album “I Play My Bass Loud”
I Play My Bass Loud has already drawn significant praise, including a lengthy feature in the New York Times, which states that “Birch sings, writes and plays bass like someone who cannot help but be herself, and her distinct, sometimes contradictory personality oozes out of every track.” The adulation hardly stopped there – MOJO called the album “a shining example of the music geek’s revenge” in their review, and BrooklynVegan hailed it as “a real statement of purpose.”

Samsara New Single “Fade Away”
“‘Fade Away’ is a song that hits home for a lot of people, especially members of this band. In today’s world everyone would rather suffer in silence than be open with struggling with mental health. This song captures that, it’s okay to suffer, it’s okay to not be okay, and most importantly it’s okay to be open with what’s going on mentally. There’s always someone willing to listen and unloading your thoughts and struggles is the easiest way to overcome those challenges. Don’t be afraid, you’re not alone and we all struggle. That’s our message to the world with this song.” – Billy Arviso
