Josh Lambert Drops Alternative Rock Single “On and On”
“On and On” also takes some inspiration from the “emo-rap” genre; it’s almost anti-genre — hard to label and impossible not to like.

World loses New Orleans musical patriarch Ellis Marsalis Jr. to coronavirus
The news on April 1 that Ellis Marsalis Jr., 85, had died of COVID-19-related pneumonia opened a river of national tributes for New Orleans’ premier jazz pianist, professor and the patriarch of a musical family with remarkable aesthetic reach.
Government shutdown orders prohibited the pageantry of a jazz funeral, the second line of street dancers parading to brass band melodies. Churches were closed, parading banned. Orleans Parish, which includes the city, ranked in the top 10 U.S. counties for per capita deaths from the coronavirus. Along Rampart Street’s grassy median opposite St. Jude shrine at Our Lady of Guadalupe church, people with rosary beads stood apart, murmuring prayers to the saint for hopeless cases.

Asher Knight – ‘Without Us’ (Official Music Video)
“Without Us” is one of my most vulnerable songs yet. Most of us have someone or a part of ourselves that we feel we can’t live without, and without them we can feel lost and can’t always cope. This song is about finding strength in coming together, whether that’s with another person or that part of ourselves we sometimes can’t reach. Together we can do anything!
ASHS – “Don’t Call Me”
The writing of my new single, “Don’t Call Me,” was a therapeutic experience. It was me being confident enough in my growth to say, “If you change your mind, keep it to yourself.”
I wanted to make the video as bold as the statement. I thought of the most extreme phone call I would never want to get, and ran with that, allowing myself to be a teeny bit vengeful.

PEZZETTINO ANNOUNCE NEW EP, VENUS – RELEASING MAY 1st
“Her latest single, ‘From a Window, Big Sur,’ is a wonderfully eclectic blend of minimal piano, clattering atmospherics and Stutt’s mesmerizing voice. The song offers a mirror for our own experiences and asks that we step into that slivery surface to see the motivations and consequences at the root of those memories. Often mysterious and filled with unpredictable impulses, it captures both a sense of emotional hesitancy and release, a feeling of nervous excitemnt at what comes next — even if we’re not sure whether it’s good or bad.
