The Snuts release music video for new single ‘Maybe California

Scottish rock band The Snuts have unleashed a music video for their anthemic new single “Maybe California” – out now on Elektra Records. Directed by Ronan Corrigan and Hope Kemp, the video is one big slice of Americana – a homage to the Red White & Blue. Set in the line of a drive-thru diner, the band watch the dichotomy of “fake” social media portrayal vs “reality” from the seats of their Mercedes Benz. Watch it below:

Working with Rich Costey (Muse, Interpol, Biffy Clyro), the song is a true statement piece, oozing indie flair and elevating the band’s fresh and authentic sound, offering another insight to their highly-anticipated debut album which the band are currently recording. ‘Maybe California’ follows the May release of their previous single “All Your Friends“.

The Snuts have been garnering a massive following in Scotland and across the UK with support from the likes of BBC 6 Music, Radio 1, Radio X, Absolute Radio, Clash and Dork Magazine. The band have appeared at festivals throughout the summer, including the Edinburgh Summer Sessions with UK chart-topper Lewis Capaldi, as well as memorable sets at Reading & Leeds, Victorious Festival and their triumphant main stage performance at TRNSMT to 20,000 people which was dubbed by BBC News as “Snuts Day”.

Next week, The Snuts will embark on their biggest ever headline tour of the UK and Ireland. The tour will host sold out shows across the UK and include their biggest show outside of their home of Scotland at London’s Scala on October 22nd. Following their headline tour, The Snuts will join Lewis Capaldi as special guests on his November tour of the UK. A complete list of upcoming tour dates can be found below.

Chloe shares powerful message with her new music video

Powerhouse vocalist Chloe has an important message to share in her latest music video. “Don’t Let Yourself Down,” the catalyst track from her debut album The In-Between, sets to empower listeners/viewers to not give up when the going gets tough. The incredibly personal and moving song was inspired by something that was said to Chloe by her mother in one of her saddest moments. The video features Azzy Brooks, Brianna Serafin, and Madison Troy playing younger versions of Chloe going through ups and downs of her life with the constant support of her mother. The girls come from Entertainment Revue, a performing arts group based out of Tampa, FL and coincidentally the place where Chloe first began singing and dancing. The end of the touching video features a cameo from Chloe’s mother, bringing the piece full circle. View “Don’t Let Yourself Down” below:

““Don’t Let Yourself Down” was the very first song I wrote for The In-Between,” shares Chloe. “Those were the words my mother said to me post break up and they sparked a fire. They inspired me to sit down at the piano and begin the process of writing my debut record. At the time I didn’t realize what I was writing was a sentiment far beyond a break up or small life change. “Don’t Let Yourself Down” has a universal meaning for anyone going through any struggle or challenge, large or small… carrying the understanding that we should never give up on ourselves no matter the situation. The team at Digital Sparks Studios knew this video needed to reflect the overall message while also maintaining the personal connection. The only way we knew how to accomplish both goals was to show the truth of where it all came from – my life, along with my mother who has been the constant enforcer of this sentiment, far before it was verbalized.”

Earlier this year, Chloe release her long-awaited debut solo album, The In-Between. The deeply personal concept album was born from a journey of self-discovery following an emotional heartbreak. From the debut single “Renegade” to the vibrant “Crazy” (featuring guitar legend Al Pitrelli) to the cinematic duet “Giving Up On You” featuring Nathan James (Inglorious, Trans-Siberian Orchestra), and the groovy “Dirty Disco,” Chloe builds a narrative that offers a personal look at her metamorphosis. The In-Between is now available at www.chloelowery.com.

Chloe has been the featured vocalist for recording and touring phenomenon Trans-Siberian Orchestra since 2010 and has toured extensively and performed on Broadway with international sensation Rocktopia. She has also recorded and toured with beloved keyboardist/composer Yanni on his landmark Yanni Voices album and tour, performed with renowned jazz trumpeter Chris Botti, has been a soloist with the New York City Ballet, collaborated with noted hard-rock guitarist Joel Hoekstra, and even stepped into Janis Joplin’s shoes to tour with her legendary band Big Brother and the Holding Company.

RAINNE releases delicate new single ‘Hollow’

Alt-pop duo, RAINNE, have shared their latest single, “Hollow” featuring haunting yet beautiful vocals, piano and echoing drums. The single is about how one feels “hollow” or “empty” after one is separated from their lover. This single is just in time for the cusp of autumn, and is now available on digital music platforms worldwide.

Listen to “Hollow”:

Lead singer, Annie Dingwall, shares that “with ‘Hollow,’ we wanted to craft a beautiful harmonic experience that adds a new dimension to our repertoire.”

“Hollow” was written by Dingwall, and includes contributions from Matias Mora (Cyn, Alice Gray) on production, with additional production from Justin Klunk and PLAYDED (Patrick Ridgen), and mixing from Keith Armstrong at Pietown Sound, with mastering by Justin Shturtz at Sterling Sound.

RAINNE consists of singer and songwriter, Annie Dingwall and saxophonist/engineer, Justin Klunk, and the two came together after meeting at a GRAMMY camp in Los Angeles. The two became fast friends when they knew they had inherent musical chemistry.

UK artist Griff releases new single ‘Didn’t Break It Enough’

Debut EP coming soon

At just 18-years-old, Griff made an immediate impact earlier this summer with her empowered but affecting debut single, “Mirror Talk,” via Warner Records. Having received its first play as Annie Mac’s ‘New Name’ on BBC’s Radio 1 shortly after completing her final exams – and gone on to receive widespread plaudits – “Mirror Talk” introduced Griff’s pop-powerhouse potential in effortless fashion. It’s this confidence – and vulnerability – that shines through again on second track, “Didn’t Break It Enough,” which strips back influences of electronic music, soul and R&B to their rawest essentials.

Watch the video for “Didn’t Break It Enough”:

“I was trying say that when things are broken they’re not supposed to work,” comments Griff. “If a light bulb is broken it’s not gonna light up, but when the heart’s broken it can still love the same way and sometimes more than it did before it broke. This track is all me, I wrote and produced it alone sooo I do hope you like.”

Born to Chinese and Jamaican parents- alongside two brothers and the family’s foster children – Griff grew up knowing that she stood out. She first became exposed to music through church, and then by borrowing her brother’s Logic, when she started to write and record her own songs. Over the last few years, all Griff’s spare time outside the punishing schedule of completing school has been spent buried in her room, creating sounds in secret from her classmates (many of whom only found out what she’d been up to after her first track was released).

Having now finished school, Griff’s candid way with the thrilling highs and occasionally-melodramatic lows of modern teenage life will be brought together in her debut EP due later this year.

King Nun release music video for ‘Black Tree’

First single from debut album Mass out October 4 via Dirty Hit

London fourpiece King Nun have announced their debut full length Mass, out October 4th via Dirty Hit. From the album comes the band’s latest single, “Black Tree.” Watch the video below:

Dressed up in cultish imagery, complex lyricism and a mutating, tradition-be-damned approach to rock music’s typical sonic palette, King Nun’s long-awaited debut album, Mass (PRESS HERE to pre-order), is a coming-of-age record like few others. A record centered around both personal exorcisms and more universally lived experiences, King Nun’s debut is a lofty accomplishment from a group no longer content to simply kick up the dirt at their feet.

“The album is really autobiographical,” front man Theo Polyzoides shares. “It’s full of songs about becoming, songs about reminiscing, songs about making an album. It’s a tribute to teenage angst, to naivety, to memories both melancholic and despairingly sad – to the need to step up to the plate.”

The album announcement comes in the wake of a huge summer for King Nun, including a recent support slot for Foo Fighters with a crowd of more than 60,000 and a set at Bonnaroo where Rolling Stone named them “Best Rock Newcomers,” stating that “the band’s sense of fun and youthful transgression was contagious, with the charismatic Polyzoides frequently going airborne and guitarist James Upton, bassist Nathan Gane and drummer Caius Stockley-Young smiling their way through the madcap 30-minute set.” Despite being the band’s first run of dates in North America, King Nun made their mark in the country and will play a short run of North American dates this September. The band will return to the UK this October to tour alongside The Struts. Full tour routing can be found below. Tickets can be found here.

Tour Dates:

Sept. 3 – Seattle, WA – Back Bar
Sept. 5 – Chico, CA – Senator
Sept. 7 – San Francisco, CA – The Independent
Sept. 8 – Los Angeles, CA – The Echo

John Calvin Abney returns with Safe Passage out on September 27

Additional headlining tour dates announced

John Calvin Abney is set to return with his self-produced LP Safe Passage via Tulsa’s Black Mesa Records on September 27, 2019. It’s the follow-up to 2018’s Coyote, which Rolling Stone Country called “dreamy folk with a good balance of sadness and sunshine.” For the new record, Abney tapped an impressive set of musicians for his studio band: fellow Tulsa Americana artist John Moreland, Shonna Tucker (John Paul White, Drive-by Truckers), Will Johnson (Centro-matic, Monsters of Folk), violinist/vocalist Megan Palmer, David Leach (John Fullbright, Jason Eady), and drummer Bryan McGrath. Together they bring to life songs that tend to look for light in the face of tragedy, worry, or self-imposed struggle. Abney recently spoke to Billboard about how the meanings of the new songs changed drastically when his father unexpectedly passed away on the day he announced the forthcoming release of Safe Passage.

“For the longest time, I really thought this record was autobiographical,” Abney explains. “But since the stark reality of what has taken place recently, I’ve realized that these songs are as much about those around me, including the aspects of life that keep us all from wanting to make connections with others or live intentional lives: loneliness, addiction, fear, worry. My dad was really troubled by these things but optimistic to a fault. I believe he wanted the same for the world, for everyone to have safe passage from these struggles and now, these words mean something much deeper to me than they once did.”

Listen to “Maybe Happy”:

Abney is a songwriter, producer, and multi-instrumentalist who has spent nearly 10 years in the studio and on the road in service to the songs of other writers, including John Moreland, Samantha Crain, and Lee Bains III + The Glory Fires. This vast musical experience has honed his sense of what is essential to songs, resulting in a peaceful balance between his apparent joy for making music and the ever-present emotions of his writing. He’s a lifelong student of composition and artistry whose influences and inspirations run vast and varied: Brian Wilson, Courtney Barnett, Nick and Molly Drake, Tulsa Sound pioneer J.J. Cale, Japanese pop godfather Haruomi Hosono, virtuosic guitarist Molly Tuttle, and even acclaimed video game music composers like Shogo Sakai and Yasunori Mitsuda. Abney is a keen observer and on Safe Passage he has developed his craft in a way that allows his sense of self to shine through.

Safe Passage is due out September 27, 2019 via Black Mesa Records and is available for pre-order now here.

Yoke Lore unveils indie dance-floor single, ‘Everybody Wants to be Loved,” featuring NVDES

In the wake of his North American tour announce, Yoke Lore unveils track “Everybody Wants To Be Loved” with NVDES. Stepping away from the chill sound of his most recent Meditations EP, the single blends Adrian’s idyllic vocals with an infectious beat for an irresistibly fun electronic jam that is sure to have you on your feet.

Listen & share “Everybody Wants to be Loved”:

Speaking of the collaboration, indie sensation Yoke Lore states “me and Josh run into each other in weird places. I’ve encountered him in random LA rooftops, Parisian cafes and German airports. Our collaboration is laced with some years of growth we’ve seen each other go through. I think the amount of time we took to let this song become a reality can be felt in its multifarious nature. It has a hectic drive that both makes you move and leaves you yearning. The song is about not being sure about your place in the romantic world. Do we have to play that game? And when we do who do we become? But if we don’t what do we miss? And all the changes we go through as we navigate those questions to build ourselves.”

Josh of NVDES sums up the track with “‘Everybody Wants To Be Loved’ is about the angst of being human with the natural desire to share love in this volatile world.”

After putting out three acclaimed EPs which gained Yoke Lore a loyal following— Far Shore (2016), Goodpain (2017), and Absolutes (2018) — 2019’s Meditations stripped several of Galvin’s familiar songs to their core by trading the usual electronic elements for arrangements of piano, horns, and strings. In addition to these re-interpretations, listeners found two new studio songs on the Meditations EP. This fall Galvin is set to embark on his first national headlining tour heading across the country, playing premiere venues in cities such as Los Angeles, New York City, San Francisco and Chicago along the way.
