THE OUTLAWS ANNOUNCE NEW ALBUM, SINGLE, AND TOUR
The Dixie Highway originally connected Chicago to Miami – the first vital thoroughfare between the Midwest and the South – before eventually being replaced in the late 1920s by the U.S. Highway system. And while fragments of the original road still exist in Florida, Georgia, Tennessee and Ohio, it remains a route that carries echoes of its past as well as being an enduring symbol of American discovery, fortitude and pride. And on their new album Dixie Highway, Southern Rock icons The Outlaws take fans on what is literally and figuratively the ride of a lifetime.

Under The Lake members old and new unite for a jazz-funk journey
While doing a live radio interview in support of Under The Lake’s 2018 release, “Jazz, Groove & Attitude,” keyboardist, songwriter and producer Jayson Tipp was discussing his 28-year-old band’s ever-evolving lineup when the group’s former saxophonist-flutist Quintin Gerard W. called in. Reminiscing on-air got Tipp thinking. He had already composed the bulk of the material for the next Under The Lake album. After asking Gerard if he wanted to collaborate, Tipp reached out to two other former core band members: bassist Nathan Brown and drummer Richard Sellers. Despite hectic touring schedules, the four were able to get in sync to record “Your Horizon Too,” which drops April 3 on the Mind In Overdrive label.

PAINTED WIVES RELEASE NEW TRACK “TRUTH & CONSEQUENCES”
Los Angeles-based worshippers Painted Wives reemerge with “Truth & Consequences”, the first track from their long-awaited sophomore LP New Medusa on Century Media Records. The product of a long and intense writing and recording span, New Medusa found the quartet working with Cave In/Mutoid Man frontman and guru Stephen Brodsky and producer Machine (Lamb of God, Clutch) to take the next step in a sound that the OC Weekly praised, “Their doom riffs and vocals with a tint of stadium sounding ambience which is sure to win them a great deal of fans, whether they are metalheads or not.”
Rachael Sage Releases Title Track “Character” Ahead Of Forthcoming Album
Rachael Sage has released the second single, “Character”, off her upcoming album by the same name. Composed during her recent recovery from cancer, the track opens with fuzzy electric guitar and a slew of questions poignantly focused on the age of social media that feel especially timely as we approach a national election. The sound is a sharp contrast to Sage’s last single and shows off her impressive range as both a producer and instrumentalist.
“I don’t think I understood the full meaning of the word ‘character’ until I was suddenly required to redefine my own. I had to decide very quickly what kind of patient I wanted to be, and in the process I learned how resolute I could become.” – Rachael Sage
TVD Live Shots: Howard Jones with Rachael Sage at the El Rey Theater, 2/1
The title of the daring new EP from DEWR – indie rock incarnation of up and coming San Francisco songwriter Brian Dewar – says a lot about his progression as an artist. Unlike his previous work, which at times fell victim to the same digitally-enhanced excess that pervades music today, Dream Pop is uncluttered. Uncomplicated. Unencumbered. It’s borne along by its own sense of urgency — one that psychoanalyzes its own disenchantment.
Album Leaf-understudy Christopher Sky shares glimmering cut “Slowly” via Mxdwn
For Los Angeles-based ambient electronic artist Christopher Sky, performing was capturing beautiful emotions in his music, but it wasn’t enough. Between the experiences of his parents soundtracking his mornings growing up with Kraftwerk and Prefab Sprout, while more recently becoming something of an understudy of Jimmy Lavelle and The Album Leaf down in Los Angeles, Sky wanted to better infuse his artistic point of few with a more personal backbone of his life story.
Drea and the Marilyns official video for their single “Everything To Me”
In an emotional new music video for the track “Everything to Me,” Drea & the Marilyns explore the need to step away from the chaos to find peace. Through scenes of intense interruptive dance and flashes of superficial social gatherings, “Everything to Me” becomes a reflection of the mask many of us wear throughout our lives. Drea’s emotional lyrics blend with the cinematic representation directed by Drea herself, of how we tend to hide from the world, even in plain sight. As moments escalate to a frustrating peak, the music billows and rises alongside each powerful scene, making for an unforgettable viewing experience. Check out Drea & The Marilyn’s video for “Everything to Me.”
