“Maybe I’ve been here too long, waiting for the pain to come,” Cruel Youth lead singer Teddy Sinclair croons over slow-building piano and pulsating bass. “And time keeps moving on, while I’m missing you.” The understated arrangement soon gives way to NURKO’s swelling synths and thunderous beats. Both poignant and danceable, “Too Long” is a dance anthem with serious crossover appeal.
CARNEYVAL DROPS NEW SINGLE “FLIES (FEAT. BENNY MAYNE)”
“‘Flies’ is my attempt to capture that feeling of bliss as the summer months roll around. It all started with an acoustic guitar riff played by Ryan Wheeler, and then I laid down the beat that would end up being the backing track for Benny Mayne’s vocals. Written alongside Austin George and Yosef Argaw, the lyrics portray a 20-something year old caught up living the fast life of Los Angeles – lost in the light, drinking and smoking the nights away. I was heavily inspired by tracks like “Wrapped Around Your Finger” by Post Malone in order to come up with a bouncy pop song to lead off my 2023.”

Morgan Wallen Releases Highly-Anticipated 3rd Studio Album ONE THING AT A TIME
The deeply personal 36-song album combines all of Wallen’s musical influences, running the gambit in both sound and subject. Showcasing his wide-ranging influences and creativity – he interpolated The Allman Brothers’ “Midnight Rider” – showcased on “Everything I Love;” a sample of Young Thug’s “Lifestyle” interpolated on “180 (Lifestyle);” plus featured collaborations with Eric Church on “Man Made A Bar,” HARDY on “In The Bible” and ERNEST on “Cowgirls.” Furthering the connection to his roots, Wallen’s sister, Ashlyne Wallen, sings harmony on “Outlook.”
DIGITAL NEGATIVE is Richard Johnson (Drugs Of Faith, Agoraphobic Nosebleed, ex-Enemy Soil) and Daniel Euphrat (Person918x, Timmy Sells His Soul). Simply named EP 2, the band’s second release delivers five brutal, electro-industrial tracks, while tackling some new ground. Unlike the band’s first EP that was put together during the 2020 Covid lockdowns when the project was spawned, Johnson and Euphrat worked in person to craft the new material; rhythmic sound collages constructed of guitars, electronic drums, samples, and vocals.
The Aquadolls are your dirty little secret on “Sneaky”
Instead of attempting to escape these simmering feelings of doubt, the self-coined “mermaid rock and rollers” lean into them, opening the floodgates and letting all of their inhibitions pour into this bombastic cascade of sound. Daydreams about tender nights spent tangled under sheets must cease — there is only room for these anxiety-ridden intrusive thoughts. “Am I just your late night sneaky little thing?” lead vocalist Melissa Brooks questions; though, she’s not entirely sure if she wants to know the answer.

EMELINE SPEAKS OUT ON TOXIC SITUATIONSHIPS ON NEW SINGLE “FEELINGS”
“Feelings” finds the 24-year-old artist stepping further into her power and calling out toxic behavior. After opening on a bit of breathy vocal percussion from EMELINE, the bold and uptempo track tells the story of a situationship in which one party objectifies the other for their own satisfaction (from the pre-chorus: “You think you can hit the spot but you don’t even last/You think you know what she wants but you don’t even ask”). “Feelings” once again affirms EMELINE as an essential new voice for all those navigating the minefield of sex and love in the modern world.
Marked;Life Video “Shadow Tag”
“‘Shadow Tag’ is a song inspired by a night terror that happened to me when I was very young. Essentially the song was influenced by the inability to escape a demonic force targeting you, and it portrayed itself as an innocent dream that turns evil at the drop of a hat. Unable to escape the dream, paralysis kicked in and I was violently haunted. I woke up, and to this day I swore that the cloaked demon was standing above me in my room. The kicker is the dream happened twice in my life, and the second time was arguably worse, but I was older and stood my ground. I hope that the song inspires interesting conversations, and gets people feeling spooky (laughs)” – James Cabeke
