MOLLY ANNA NEW VIDEO
Influenced by ‘90s hard rock bands (think Incubus in their quieter moments) and the raw vocal power of Alanis Morissette and Hayley Williams, Molly Anna’s dark fiction weaves intricate tales of love, self-destruction and extraordinary escape plans: from the scars left by lovers gone wrong to a burnt down house and a flawed alibi…
As shown on their debut EP, Ghosts, which was released in January, Molly Anna Band are an empassioned musical outfit whose sound is strengthened by its eclectic influences. The label of folk metal may offer some insight to their sonic output, but with elements of jazz, pop and hip hop thrown in to the mix, it is only a over view of their diversity.

During the London election process,Ankit Love the exiled Emperor of the war torn state of Jammu and Kashmir, started the movement for the reunification of India, Pakistan and Bangladesh to end the threat of a nuclear war that could ‘end human civilisation.’ For his campaign to end the air pollution pandemic, the housing crisis and legalise cannabis, he made national news and TV all across India.

SARANTOS COVERS BOWIE ON NEW SINGLE
Have you ever been scared? Have you ever been sick of being scared? Have you ever gotten tired of being scared? I have!
This song is a powerful, angst-ridden tribute to David Bowie combining modern elements of Coldplay to give my fans a unique eclectic mixture. The rollercoster ride and edgy experimentation throughout the song deliberately leave listeners in a reflective mood. The tone of my exasperated vocals and carefully placed vocal fry playing off the female harmonies leads right into the hidden meaning and charity for this song.

He was down for an off-the-cuff performance, which became my favorite part of the shoot, and the central idea for the entire video.” The street performer, Bass, of Austin’s IncrediCrew became the video’s star which Max called a “magic moment.”
