Check out my new single Lemonade!
You’re always supposed to give things your all, but be careful about putting your energy into people or things that won’t give any energy back. I sing about the slow-burning nature of the pain, a memory of naked skin, burns me from within like a fire on the western plain.

Leo Ganza Offers Triumphant Advice In Brand New ‘Pandemic’ Visuals
The newest single by Leo Ganza is called “Pandemic.” There is no symbolism, as it is inspired by exactly what you think it is. The addendum, is Ganza imagining a love story unfolding through the crisis. He also addresses the concurrent events of police brutality and the ensuing BLM movement. It’s as timely as a piece can be, and it might risk being a little alienating, if it weren’t so well done.

AUSTIN TAFT RELEASES NEW VIDEO
Progressive metal artist Austin Taft has released a video for his song “Just Above Zero” via Metal Underground. The song is from his album Skeletons which will be released on CD on May 28th 2021.
Austin commented “In my view, songs should reward the listener for listening to the whole thing. If the listener hears one minute of a song and wouldn’t miss much in the way of new information by skipping the rest, it feels like a missed opportunity. So with that philosophy in mind, this song (and the album it is sourced from) aims to be exciting, challenging and unpredictable. The lyrics are about how frequently opportunities to improve situations for humankind seem to be squandered, whether at the ballot box or otherwise.”
