Paul Graves with “Move That Mountain”

Paul Graves has always been one with nature and music and his latest song, “Move That Mountain” is a true testament to that.  Not only do you get to hear a new original song, but Skope readers will also receive a stunning video to go along with the single.  Paul Graves took a picture slideshow while out camping and hiking in the Cascade Mountains.  Prepare to be mesmerized by the sights & sounds of Paul Graves and mother nature on “Move That Mountain”.

Paul Graves has been a musician, singer, songwriter & guitarist for many years covering an array of styles.  For the last 25 years, Paul has combined elements of rock, folk, classical, jazz, funk, country and everything else in between.  His latest release, “Move That Mountain”, takes a trip back to the 90s when grunge bands like Nirvana, Sound Garden, Pearl Jam and Alice in Chains were on top of the charts.  This song and its style are a nod to Paul’s previous band Moss Dog when Seattle was put on the map during the Grunge era.  Paul Graves brings elements of alternative and folk to the table on “Move That Mountain” to go along with that serene, picturesque quality.  

As soon as you hit play, you will travel through the majestic mountain range feeling a sense of peace that instantly rushes over you.  Vocally, musically and stylistically, the listener will pick up on that grunge element along with a swampy rock sensation.  Travel through vast peaks and valleys as you reach the top on “Move That Mountain”.  The easy-going flow saturates the entire track and meshes perfectly with the peaceful imagery.  The viewer will witness breathtaking views of the Cascade Mountains and forest terrain as you venture through visual & audible wilderness.  “Move That Mountain” is set to the key of nature with a splash of alternative energy and rocky-top finish.  Paul’s vocals stand out as he exhibits much clarity and confidence as a singer.  His guitar playing is spot on and draws you in right away with incredibly catchy chords.  

Paul Graves is a legitimate mountain man and music man along with being an avid sasquatch investigator & researcher, explorer and citizen scientist.  Paul Graves is a man of many talents with his backyard in Wenatchee, Washington where 20 acres of natural beauty surrounds him.  Being one with nature every day, Paul Graves draws inspiration from this and serves as his musical canvas.  “Move That Mountain” displays so many qualities from a musical and visual standpoint, so sit back, relax and enjoy the soothing sounds of outdoorsman Paul Graves. 

You can SKOPE out the official video for “Move That Mountain” right here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dZp3mMKRnqs.

Dublin-based artist LOBEPINE returns with “I Feel Good”, a genre-blending single set for release on March 21st, 2025

Effortlessly combining pop, indie, and hip-hop influences, the track is a rich sonic tapestry where lush synthesizers, smooth guitar riffs, and a soulful saxophone intertwine with a laidback hip-hop-inspired beat. Adding to its organic, rhythmic pulse, congas, bongos, ghatams, and a subtle shaker create a warm, earthy groove that flows throughout the song.

https://youtu.be/rrh50P_PA28

“I Feel Good” radiates a chilled, reflective vibe, capturing the bittersweet feeling of watching time slip through our fingers—a meditation on the fleeting nature of life, balanced with the serene acceptance that some things are simply beyond our control. The song also carries a subtle call to action, urging listeners to step forward and actively shape their own story rather than sitting back as spectators.

With its intimate atmosphere and smooth, flowing energy, LOBEPINE offers a laidback yet thought-provoking soundtrack to pause, breathe, and make the most of the moments we have.

Time flies, don’t waste it.

OF LIMBO Releases A Song About Emotional Manipulation, “Joke’s On You”

Of Limbo’s latest single, “Joke’s On You,” showcases a bold fusion of hard rock and retro grunge that is both introspective and empowering. Part of their upcoming OF LIMBO Unplugged album (set to be released later this year), the Long Beach, CA-based band is carving out a niche in the acoustic realm with this track, representing a significant shift in their creative process and offering a fresh perspective on their songwriting approach.

Lyrically, “Joke’s On You” delves into the emotional turmoil of recognizing manipulative tactics in relationships, a theme that resonates deeply with listeners. Jake Davies, the band’s frontman, describes the track as a reflection on gaslighting, where one partner feigns vulnerability while wielding emotional power. The lyrics poignantly illustrate this dynamic: “You’re holding for the moment I turn my back / You slowly slip the knife in / You’re having a laugh.” The imagery of betrayal is striking, and the rawness of the vocals captures the essence of vulnerability and strength.

The refrain, “Crying on the outside / Laughing on the in,” encapsulates the feeling of being deceived while simultaneously reclaiming one’s power. It’s a powerful realization, as Davies notes, that understanding these manipulative behaviors can be a liberating experience. The repeated emphasis on “the joke’s on you” serves as a rallying cry for anyone who has felt trapped in a toxic situation, signaling a shift from victimhood to empowerment. The song perfectly balances sorrow and defiance, making it relatable for anyone who has navigated the complexities of emotional manipulation.

Musically, “Joke’s On You” retains the band’s signature hard rock edge while incorporating an acoustic format that highlights the emotional weight of the lyrics. The instrumental arrangement is both dynamic and intimate, allowing the listener to connect with the song on a personal level.

The band shot the music video for “Joke’s On You” entirely on an iPhone 14 in their home studio, adding an authentic and raw quality that enhances the candid nature of the song. This DIY ethos is reflective of the band’s journey and their commitment to remaining true to their roots.

The track is not just a standalone single but part of a broader project that includes a mix of original compositions and covers from iconic artists such as Radiohead, Alice in Chains, and Van Halen. The upcoming full-length record, featuring nine tracks, promises to explore various themes and musical styles while retaining the band’s distinct sound. The classic eco-sleeve design and inclusion of deluxe license plate stickers further emphasize their artistic vision, inviting fans to engage with their music in a tangible way.

In conclusion, “Joke’s On You” is a compelling addition to Of Limbo’s discography, showcasing their evolution as artists while tackling profound emotional themes. The combination of powerful lyrics, engaging instrumentation, and a relatable message makes this track a must-listen. As they prepare for the release of their OF LIMBO Unplugged album, the band is poised to make a significant impact in the acoustic music scene, reminding us all of the power of recognizing our worth and reclaiming our narratives.

Nashville Based Laura Sawosko Releases New Music

Laura Sawosko’s new album is Not What I Do, continuing her line of Singer-Songwriter genre with country and Americana overtones. She has her own, unique sound, her own, unique genre spin, and Not What I Do feels like a penultimate accomplishment for now as her first record with major backing. “The most meaningful project I’ve worked on has been…(this) album,” she has said to CanvasRebel Magazine. “I have learned so much as a singer-songwriter in Nashville and have put every aspect of myself into this album. It will be my first official album release with the assistance of Olivia Management and a Publicist.”

URL: https://www.laurasawosko.com/

Like much of her earlier work, Not What I Do deals with the painfully personal. Sawosko is wise in pouring her heart out into tracks simultaneously resonant with country fans, and listeners who enjoy a good story. In a world of sound bites and catchy, vapid lyrics, Sawosko reveals what a purist’s version of music is really about. While the production and sound mixing of Not What I Do is top-notch, the songs are acoustic and deliberately simple. There’s no sense of muddying the waters. By listening to a Laura Sawosko record, the beauty of it is it feels like you get to know her. Biscuits & Gravy is particularly hard-hitting, frankly discussing amongst other things Sawosko grappling with her own sexuality.

“This year I have been composing the songs and recording them in a Nashville studio. This album encompasses love, loss and all the in between. My Father recently passed away and it was an emotional journey channeling such loss through music, but such an honor…I never want to shy away from difficult topics because it is an important aspect of the human condition.” This humility likely stems from the hardscrabble path Sawosko has taken to get to where she is today. That humility is part of her prowess, it forms the bedrock of her successful niche as an artist.

“I believe the life of a songwriter is greatly misunderstood,” Sawosko said in CanvasRebel interview. “Too many people view being a musician as a hobby rather than a job or career…It is an endless task of creating, learning how to be your own sound engineer, manager, booking agent, website designer and roadie. There is great expense for instruments, equipment and studio time with little to no income coming in until you are one of the lucky few to break through the music machine of top 20 Country…

Being a female in the Country music industry is another story. Radio airplay for female artists is almost non existent and so is the pay compared to our male counterpart. When I perform at writer’s rounds, it is usually 15 males to every one female. It is one more hurdle to jump through in order to be heard and appreciated. My main focus is loving what I do and I believe the rest will follow.”

Art rock meets alternative hip-hop in ‘Art Machine’ by Percy Higgins

Percy Higgins is slated to release Art Machine on April 16 following the single Creature Feature on April 9.

This is off-kilter music, a tonic for the rhythmically bored mixing elements of art rock, psych, and hip hop. It’s like Beck, The Birthday Party, Captain Beefheart’s Magic Band, and MF Doom all crammed into one room in an East London flat. It’s Captain Beckheart’s Doomsday Party.

The new EP Art Machine is the second Percy Higgins release. The first was Don’t Rag on the Spider and laid the groundwork with a more 60’s inspired sound. In Art Machine this has given way to wilder, sample-like drums, heavier fuzz-bass, and in general a more RZA-like approach to the mix.

Stream the EP on Spotify or download it on Bandcamp from April 16.

Emily Pierce Demands Your Regard—And You’ll Gladly Give It

Emily Pierce is stepping into the spotlight, and she’s not here to play nice. With her debut single Regard dropping March 7, the 19-year-old singer-songwriter makes it clear: she’s got something to say, and you’re going to feel it.

Hailing from a lineage of musical brilliance (her father, Michael Suby, is the maestro behind The Vampire Diaries and Pretty Little Liars scores), Emily grew up surrounded by cinematic sounds and raw emotion. But now, she’s carving out her own sonic space—one that’s deeply personal, heartbreakingly intense, and undeniably magnetic.

Regard is a gut-punch of a debut, wrapping the agony of abandonment in a hauntingly powerful track. Co-produced by Sony Music’s Francesco Rigon and Mandi Perkins at Direct Inject Recording in North Hollywood, the song is a masterclass in controlled chaos—swelling instrumentals, brooding lyrics, and a voice that drips with raw feeling. It’s the kind of song that sticks to your ribs long after the last note fades.

“I can’t believe you fought so hard to escape from the grasp of me / When all I wanted was regard,” Emily sings, her voice a delicate balance of vulnerability and fury. The track reads like a journal entry from the depths of heartbreak—icy, poetic, and painfully relatable. Think Olivia Rodrigo’s SOUR meets Lana Del Rey’s melancholic storytelling, with a fiery intensity that’s all her own.

And the buzz doesn’t stop at the music. An upcoming single from her debut EP is potentially slated for Amazon Prime’s We Were Liars, and if it does Emily is about to be on a lot of radars—fast.

If Regard is any indication, Emily Pierce isn’t just another artist on the rise—she’s a force to be reckoned with. Mark your calendars, cue up your sad girl playlists, and get ready to have this one on repeat.

Joe Boris with ‘Arising’

You will instantly gravitate to Joe Boris because he has a likability factor as an artist that is undeniable.  The aura that surrounds Joe and his music is a positive one and ‘Arising’ is upon US!  This new release from Joe Boris features 13 original songs and will delight audiences everywhere!

Joe Boris is no stranger to the game as he has been part of the East Coast music scene since the 90s.  Joe has an old-school feel and his music reflects that with some doses of classic rock on ‘Arising’.  The beauty of Joe Boris as a musician is that he is able to weave together a variety of elements to make up one extraordinary sound.  There are even moments where Joe exhibits pop sensibilities on certain tracks making ‘Arising’ stand out even more. This new album features Joe’s current backing band FunTime and they are: Bob Ramos on drums, Low Fritz on bass and Adrian Untermyer on keyboards.  Additional accompaniment on this recording includes Alzie Sisco on drums, Adam Carelli on saxophone, Chris Nacy on harmonica and John Keim on keyboards.

The album kicks off with a real winner titled “Falling In Deep” that is extremely catchy overall.  Joe appeals to many with his distinct tone on “Falling In Deep” and the fun-filled energy remains constant throughout the entirety of the song.  Next, you will be saying to yourself that “I Feel Alive” due to the refreshing vibe that will lift you up.  Joe Boris delivers a rock-solid performance on “I Feel Alive”, so stay alert because you don’t want to miss this one.  “Cayenne Rain” washes over us with an abundance of big notes pouring out into the airwaves.  Joe is blasting off and unleashing a hell of a musical storm with “Cayenne Rain”, so soak it all in and don’t waste a drop.  It’s party time on the following number, “Reelin’ & Rockin’” where the atmosphere is simply electric!  An enticing hook will ignite your senses on the next song “Tell Me”.  There is some sweet sax playing on “Tell Me” and I am just loving this jam from start to finish!  Joe Boris is playing with much passion on “I Don’t Know” where he exhibits a commanding presence.  Track seven, “Any Way I Do”, has a major impact on the listeners with Joe singing straight from the heart.  There is a real sincerity to Joe’s voice on “Any Way I Do”, which gives it that genuine touch overall.  There is a real sense of truth and a down home-type effect on “Harder Than This”.  This song proves to be rich in substance and bears good, musical fruits that will have people trying to figure out what’s “Harder Than This”.  Prepare for an excellent flow and texture on “Can’t Stop A Dream” where the chemistry between Joe and his band is on full display.  It’s now time to dance and jump for joy on “Jive Time Mind” where one can just let loose and have a blast!  Audiences will be movin’ and shakin’ to the beat on “Lil’ Miss Hustle” that is on pace to become a bona fide fan favorite.  Track 12, “Brother Tom”, offers up a unique sound that peaks your interests immediately.  Stylistically, “Brother Tom” shines bright and provides stellar guitar playing and strong vocals.  Joe Boris is bringin’ it on home like a champion on the closer “Any Way I Do (Alternate Version)”.

Joe Boris and his music will connect with many souls out there as ‘Arising’ will make a lot waves.  The 13 songs on this album will resonate with many people due to Joe’s approach as a skilled singer, songwriter and performer.  You can SKOPE out the official music video for “Harder Than This” right here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bp_NpwNH_xc.  The new album is available now on Spotify, Apple Music, iTunes, Amazon, Pandora and Deezer.  Joe Boris is the real deal and ‘Arising’ has begun.

Rip Rig and Panic & Pet Shop Boys Stars Team Up For Goya-Inspired Double Vinyl Album Sleep of Reason

Mark Springer (Rip Rig and Panic) announces an epic double vinyl album and CD release, “Sleep of Reason”, which includes a collaboration with Neil Tennant (Pet Shop Boys).

The album is planned for release April 25th and consists of three major pieces inspired by a series of etchings by the Spanish artist Francisco Goya: an expansive opus for solo piano, a string quartet and a quintet for voice and strings. The pre-order link for Sleep of Reason is available digitally from March 7th on Bandcamp.

https://subrosalabel.bandcamp.com/album/sleep-of-reason

Ahead of the full album, Sleep of Reason’s opening track “Phantoms and Monsters” will be released digitally on all platforms March 14th.

The composer, Mark Springer plays the piano, the Sacconi String Quartet perform the quartet and they are joined by Neil Tennant on vocals for the quintet. The result is a dark and atmospheric collection that reflects the ‘monsters’ of our time, as Goya’s work did with the ‘monsters’ in his own era.

The album thus explores the ‘devilments’ of current 21st Century culture – grand egos laying waste through social media, driving division. The music for all pieces was composed by Springer with lyrics and vocals in the quintet by Tennant.

Themes of fractured unity are found in Springer’s composition of the music and the band and, in writing this work, Mark set himself the challenge of creating three interconnected, yet distinct musical movements, full of spontaneous invention and risk, fight and flights, with acute edges and passages of lyrical beauty, complemented in the quintet by Neil’s powerfully evocative vocal and sharp poetic vision.

Alongside his piano performances and orchestral compositions, Springer has worked writing and producing chamber music, operatic and cinematic scores and the collaboration with pop vocalist Tennant on “Sleep of Reason” brings together different worlds of music with fruitful results.

Released by Sub Rosa in collaboration with The Exit Label.

Sleep of Reason will be available on double vinyl and CD, as well as all digital platforms on 25/04/25.

CONCERT REVIEW – GRAND FUNK RAILROAD – MGM CLEVELAND – 3-1-2025

By R.M. Engelman

In 2000 Don Brewer assembled a new touring version of the band. The GFR song American Band starts out, “Out on the road for 40 days”, and since then the band has been doing that and then some.  Original members Don and bassist Mel Schacher recruited Max Carl on lead vocals/guitar (Jack Mack & the Heart Attack, 38 Special) Bruce Kulick (Kiss) on lead guitar, and keyboardist Tim Cashion (Bob Seger).  Last year Bruce Kulick retired, and Mark Chatfield (The Godz, Rosie, Bob Seger) took over the guitar and background vocal duties.  Tonight’s show had Stan Sheldon (Peter Frampton) filling in on bass.  Don handled the lead vocals on five of the songs.

https://open.spotify.com/artist/0qEcf3SFlpRcb3lK3f2GZI

The show kicked off with Rock ‘n Roll Soul with Max on vocals, and the band ran through the GFR standards Footstompin’ Music, The Loco-Motion, Inside Lookin’ Out, I’m Your Captain, Shinin’ On, Some Kind of Wonderful, Heartbreaker, Walk Like a Man, and the encore We’re an American Band. They also did versions of Sky High and the 38 Special hit Second Chance.

Later the guys formed a sort of drum circle with Don on drums, Max on a marching bass drum (and chants), and Tim, and Stan on congas.  Mark followed with The Star Spangled Banner (on his red, white, and blue guitar), before the band went into the old Eric Burdon classic made famous by GFR, Inside Lookin’ Out.  For Some Kind of Wonderful, Don came to the front of the stage to start the song.  It’s always fun to watch Don who remains one of the best drummers in rock. Mark was on the money with the solos, which most of their songs have. 

Grand Funk Railroad has been in existence since 1969 and is still constantly booked on the touring circuit.  Young and old fans continue to fill the seats to hear the classic songs, and be entertained by a band that definitely has fun performing.  Even though the guys are aging, the songs and following are ageless.  Any fans owe it to themselves to listen to their extensive back catalog.  The bands best material is the album cuts that naturally didn’t make it to the top 40.  The first two live albums and Bosnia give you the full GFR live experience!
