TJ BOYCE X BUN B “LET IT GO”
Houston crooner TJ Boyce’s upcoming album is called “The Life” and with good reason. He is currently resting up in Italy before hitting the road to promote this new crossover single,”Cuz I Ball”, his last offering, was #1 on Mediabase’s Indie Radio Charts for 4 straight weeks and he has enough respect in his city to have the honor of recording with an OG like Bun B who in turn, is infamous for the love he has shown those that are on their way up. All in all, ‘the life’ is pretty damned good for TJ Boyce and with his talent and work ethic, he damn sho deserves it!

ALONE AT 3AM’S NEW STUDIO ALBUM STREAM
The band has been at a dead run since 2010’s album Cut Your Gills and 2012 single From an Ohio Basement, reveling in hard-earned rock&roll escapism while revealing substantial songwriting chops. Embedded in these earliest songs, some of which like “Blacktop Cracks” remain live favorites, are unresolved questions. Often the only answer is found in the act of living in the fleeting combustion of a three minute song, that brief musical connection between band members and an audience.
