“Shadow and the Light”, a fast-paced introspective track by LennyJ., was released in September of last year. Fast forward February 2024,...

This is not a drill: alternative rock has a new leading lady on the rise and she goes by the name of Eliza. She and her band, The Delusionals, are making their way onto charts outside of their native country of Australia, and there is no doubt that greatness is on the horizon for them. Following their U.S. debut single “Just Exist,” Eliza & the Delusionals found themselves with a number one spot on SiriusXM’s Alt Nation radio station. With a mellow tune and dream-like vocals,

After an eventful 2018 (which included releasing an EP, hitting the Billboard Dance Chart, and touring the country with Echosmith), 18-year-old pop artist Jena Rose is back this with a brand new single, “Mad Man”.

Opening with a layered bass/guitar guitar intro, “Like An Indian” makes an intriguing entrance. The first vocals are sure to captivate any audience, as they’re sung slowly, deliberately, and with a echo of 70s psychedelic sound. It’s cool, it’s vintage, and it’s building. Frontman Shane Thompson recounts the story of arriving at a show, only to be surrounded by disinterested and preoccupied concert goers (featuring some creative character voices), where “Something just wasn’t

Sometimes a song just stops you in your tracks- literally. Last week as I was walking out of class at CSUF, I heard some noise coming from across campus. It was my favorite type of noise: rock ‘n roll. Drums beating, guitars blaring, song lyrics being shouted into a mic, I had to figure out who was making this rad sound. I found myself face to face with local Orange County band Gearheart, and their newest single, “Be Here Tonight”. “Be Here Tonight” has a charming bass
