‘Disco Metal’ Quartet MAKES MY BLOOD DANCE Reveals New Video for “Sick As Our Secrets”
MAKES MY BLOOD DANCE is as wild, diverse and, yes, insane as the County of Kings. Anyone can take disco, glam, electropop and metal, throw them in a blender and call it a song. It takes some kind of twisted genius to make that kind of Molotov cocktail into something that you won’t stop listening to – and can’t stop moving to. “Sick As Our Secrets” drips with Sunset Strip swagger and tight New York City grooves, but amidst the chaos, there’s a message of hope.

BLUES GROUP GA-20 SHARES NEW VIDEO FROM THEIR NEW LP “LONELY SOUL” OUT 10/18
GA-20 was formed by friends Pat Faherty and Matthew Stubbs in Boston, MA in 2018.

Lenoir, Earl Hooker, Buddy Guy, Otis Rush and Junior Wells. Feeling a void in current music, the duo have set out to write, record and perform a modern version of this beloved art form. Live, GA-20 is a trio of 2 guitars, vocals and drums. Raw, passionate and honest performance – both on stage and in the studio – is the only goal.
