Jonny Kosmo has given an exclusive interview to Jammerzine. I announce that because, when you hear his music, you will see. This artist is a true original. From his music to his life and everywhere in between.
And, in this interview, we talk about his new album titled ‘Pastry’, to be released June 4th on Feeding Tube Records and Dinosaur City Records (AUS). We also talk about his innovative video from ‘Pastry’, for the song ‘Fool’, featuring animation with personality by Peter Nichols.
Whatever your musical tastes are, I think it is safe to say that you will find space on your plate for Jonny Kosmo. His music comes from that part in all of us that wants to know our individuality and inner child. Jonny has found both and made them partners.
“There are two sides to every coin. “Fool” is about how our character struggles can also be our greatest assets. In this case, it is love and connection with another that allows the defensiveness and protection of the fool archetype to shift to that of a fool for life. I aimed to capture the movement from the rigidity of taking ourselves too seriously to the humor of being human. This song is accompanied by a video made by Kevin Kearney, Peter Nichols (animation), and myself.”

Kirlian Camera Releases ‘The 8th President’ Video (The Week in #Indie Segment)
Kirlian Camera has released their new video for the track titled ‘The 8th President’. While maintaining their dark presence that has become signature for Kirlian Camera over many years, they have also brought forth an original, almost dystopian visual and audio aesthetic within the video that demands attention. Think of the movie ‘Blade Runner’ when I say this. It’s almost world-building.
The tack is all that one would expect from Kirlian Camera and, in some ways, more. There is a brooding, slow-burning underbelly to ‘The 8th President’ that, in some ways, reflects the current state of isolation and loneliness brought on by the current state of the world. Reflective of the things that are, Kirlian Camera gives a soundtrack to this that leaves more questions than answers and, while most current creativeness shows us what we could be, this shows us what we are. Brilliant.

https://www.youtube.com/user/chuckwrightbassAbout Wallis Bird
Jammerzine has an exclusive interview with Wallis Bird. Wallis has released her long awaited new album titled ‘Hands’. To listen to ‘Hands’ is an event for the ears. You can get more of the story behind that in the interview. But to listen to an album recorded within and reflected of the times they were recorded in can be an introspective experience if done by the right artist.
Wallis is that type of artist, in my opinion. An already unique artist in her own right, her style and signature sound is expanded musically, lyrically, and socially. This is a timestamp for societal humanity as well as the times we are currently in, and, what I would call, a time-capsule album.

Jammerzine has an exclusive interview with Alysia Kraft as well as a first look of her new video titled ‘Hamilton Pool’, with both the single and video releasing today. Having already proven herself with Whippoorwill and The Patti Fiasco, Alysia breaks free on her own with a song dedicated to that perfect moment.
Subtle like an anthem yet sweet like finding that perfect someone, ‘Hamilton Pool’ is the best way to inspire listeners aspire anyone to have that form themselves: by placing that message within the actual feelings and moment that inspired the song itself.

Jammerzine has an exclusive interview with Chris Tavener. With his new EP titled ‘Easy Ways To Be Happy‘ recently released, we get an early preview of the process of making the album plus a glimpse of the musician behind the music.
In this interview, we talk with Chris about the songwriting process, writing with that bit of snark and social commentary lacking in most new music, and his future plans with his music.

Jammerzine has an exclusive interview with guitarist/songwriter Kenny Dubman. With the release of his new album titled ‘Conflicted’, we get a behind the scenes look at that new album plus what inspires Kenny and his songwriting process.
More a good conversation than an interview, we get the feel for the inspiration behind Kenny’s music and find out that he’s just as much an honest and good person as he is an astonishing musician.

https://www.instagram.com/kennydubman/About Sunstroke Rain
Sunstroke Rain is set to drop her new album titled ‘Spark’ on June 11th. Sunstroke Rain delivers a fresh sound with ‘Spark’ that envisions diversity with sheer creativeness.
Powerful percussion lays a foundation of electro-hooks and that distinctive personality that Sunstroke conveys as an artist that loves what she does. A signature sound that sounds as distinctive as any example of original music.

Roqy Tyraid has released his new video for the track titled ‘Tyraid Tuesday 10’. With the lyrics sung subtle like an assault rifle, Roqy sounds off with beautiful rebellion and lyrics meant for kings within a track too short for most yet just right for all. This is how to utilize the mic. By getting the point across like a sonic Picasso. Take this to heart after filtering it through your mind.

https://www.facebook.com/TheCultureIsBackAbout Kat Koan & the Lost Souls
Kat Koan & the Lost Souls have released their new video for the track titled ‘Fangs Out’, from the upcoming album ‘Cocoon’, dropping June 7th. As Kat explains, the song is a sonic ‘note to the self’, but I feel it’s more of a call to arms to the self.
That ‘get off your ass’ feeling brought on from the all-too-long lockdown. Call it what you will, the style is signature, with hints of the influences listed below, but filtered through that ‘katty’ litter we will all soon be familiar with. A snarky swagger permeates the track with each lyric and coincides with that lazy rebellion of the music. This is the attitude this decade should take.

https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCccTfc134JXLgjOdkqJ12LAAbout Sam Louis
Sam Louis has released his new single titled ‘No More Running’. A mix of decades come together in anthemic styles to coalesce in a melting pot of musical mental mastering. Heavy guitars accentuate an already powerful hook and pop sense of timing with a flawless set of vocals, and it all works.
A quasi mix of 90210 and OU812 come together in a form of originality and creativity rarely achieved but always acknowledged.
