Faultress Premieres ‘Sleep Child’ (The Week in #Indie Segment)

Faultress has premiered her new single titled ‘Sleep Child’ on Jammerzine. Faultress is an artist that, in my opinion, was most likely originated from that first note she gave to the world. And, with ‘Sleep Child’, that is only asserted even more. ‘Sleep Child’ has a dark and brooding sound. An emotional statement wrapped in a cinematic declaration in an almost operatic way, emotionally. Think Kate Bush meets subtle early Nine Inch Nails. To be honest, I actually thought the song was shorter than it was because of the way the music and Faultress’ beautiful vocals carry you. But no. The song is almost four minutes. When you lose track of time, it’s because you got lost in the moment. This was a moment.

Evidence Releases ‘Pardon Me’ Single (The Week in #Indie Segment)

Evidence has released his new single and video titled ‘Pardon Me’, from his upcoming album ‘Unlearning Vol. 1’. Laid back and leaned into, ‘Pardon Me’ delves into the mind of a musician as he releases his inner thoughts and trials of life. A lesson for all within the lyrics, the smooth backbeat makes a subtle message of life lessons learned and those learned better appreciated as Evidence appreciates all he’s earned and those around him.

About The Neverlutionaries

Jammerzine has an exclusive interview with The Neverlutionaries founder Christopher Harold Wells. Having released what I consider one of the most diverse albums in the last few years, The Neverlutionaries is as much Christopher’s music lab as much as it is music project.

Having cut his teeth and added his resume with some of the most prolific people in music, Christopher now demonstrates his extreme diversity with The Neverlutionaries new eponymous album filled with tracks that really make the album sound like it has multiple artists throughout. Like completely different bands. I have no other way to say it, so I just said it. Check out the playlist below.

In this interview, we talk with Christopher about The Neverlutionaries, the songwriting and recording process and how he maximizes his output, especially in this pandemic, as well as the next evolution for The Neverlutionaries.

About Foxxglove

‘Bad Timing’, the new song from Foxxglove, releases on May 14th. People say that beauty is in the eye of the beholder, but they never say it is at the beginning. That was the initial thought I got on that first listen to ‘Bad Timing’. Foxxglove’s vocals with stay with you long after this listen. This song will stay with you because of that alone. But the music has a future classic tinge to it where every note has its place and the hook has a purpose. I’m at a loss for words.

About KARMACODA

KARMACODA has released their new summer remix ‘Make Me The One’ by Peter Tanico (E39). From the upcoming album titled ‘Slow Down’, releasing May 28th, Peter gives an about face with the original version (video below) and gives it a march stomp dance floor beatdown musically enough to make it another track. Now with a new personality and tempo, ‘Make Me The One’ is reborn for a new mood, new audience, and that summer care free in a hopefully pandemic-free world.

About Pastel Coast

Pastel Coast are set to drop their new single titled ‘Distance’ tomorrow. Pastel Coast are a band with personality and ‘Distance’ proves that. The originality of the track is only surpassed by the hook and that hook is an electropop monster that surrounds you through the speakers and engulfs you with a thickness and vivid sound that come from a band that are as much a group of songwriters as they are musicians. ‘Distance’ is a song that elegantly flows throughout.

Tony Steele & The Massacre

Tony Steele & The Massacre are set to release their new single titled ‘Invisible World’ on May 28th. Leaner and with a more rock and pop sound, Tony Steele presents a more accessible version of his massacre with a hook heavy track focusing more on guitar and his unique blend of vocals. This is definitely a solid evolution in his music.

About Janna Jamison

Janna Jamison has released her new video for the song titled ‘Invitation To A Beheading’. Somewhat of a vivid cross between Wes Anderson and Marie Antoinette, the video becomes a beautiful anthesis to the song. And the song itself is a beautiful blend of Janna’s songwriting, signing, and musicianship. As I learned watching her exclusive interview with Sophia Ciravolo, Janna is an artist with a vision and a headful of originality waiting to be brought forth. And those are the artists that last.

Check out Janna’s links below because her new EP drops this August!

About Matt Peach

Matt Peach has released his new video for the track titled ‘Crush’. With hints of glam rock and a touch of post-punk, Matt Peach gets the groove in the pocket with slyly sexy deliverance and gritty soul meant for the stage. Best when played live, but the video will more than do.

About Molosser

Molosser have released their new album titled ‘Appear’. Beginning as a cathartic musical journey, ‘Appear’ is dark, brooding, and, at times, very lucid musically and even spiritually on a certain level. Almost conjuring the spirits of The Doors, Jefferson Airplane, and a few other more obscure artists, not in style but in execution.

Filled with utterly unique chord changes and even more original vocal inflections, ‘Appear’ is most definitely an original concept. Even more so than an album. And that is what makes this an endearing set of songs.

‘Appear’ is out now.

Royals Release Video for ‘Jaded’ (The Week in #Indie Segment)

Royals have released their new single and video titled ‘Jaded’. Those first few notes make it obvious that Royals are master songwriters. The hook is strong and the song is solid. But there’s a message behind the music, and it is solid. The song is a lesson and a guide in this trying time of isolation and COVID. We are all there, whether we are still trying to figure out our new lives or we are resigned. ‘Jaded’ sings that we are not alone, and that change is here. We can all make our strength that strength of adapting, and learn that we are not alone, even if we are jaded.

An Interview with Jonny Kosmo (The Week in #Indie Segment)

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.”

Jammerzine’s The Week in #Indie for 5/10/2021

In this episode of Jammerzine’s The Week in #Indie we feature exclusive interviews with Johnny Indovina and Mark Balderas from rock legends Human Drama, #indie upstart Jonny Kosmo, and the original sounding Proper Nouns. Also new original music and videos from Aleks Grey, Electrobuddha, Max Embers, Royals, Yelpy, and Razorbats.

About Human Drama

In this Jammerzine Exclusive, we talk to literal legends of music in the form of Johnny Indovina and Mark Balderas from Human Drama. And by legends, I mean immensely talented musicians and true human beings. Human Drama is one of those sacred icons of music having evolved musically for almost five decades and showing no signs of slowing down while doing everything on their own terms. This, to me, is that unspoken achievement rarely achieved and almost never accomplished.

Their latest album, titled ‘Blurred Images‘, is a continuance of their evolution of revolution that began with ‘Hopes Prayers Dreams Heart Soul Mind Love Life Death’ and refined and remolded through ‘Broken Songs for Broken People‘. Retaining that core sound while evolving into new forms of music is the sign of true musicians and artisans.

On ‘Blurred Images’ throughout, you get a set of personal takes on the snapshots of life. You will hear about this in detail in the interview. Musically, the album is blurred in genres at times yet comes together succinctly as a concept. Some will say that this fits a metaphor of a scrapbook filled with images, but personally, I feel that it is a single canvas of paintings molding into one another. Not knowing where one begins and another ends, but, collectively, make something whole.

About Proper Nouns

Spencer Compton from Proper Nouns is our special guest in today’s Jammerzine Exclusive interview. Having just released their new album titled ‘Feel Free’, Proper Nouns are at that magic moment where they get a wider audience and those original fans can start saying ‘I remember when they started’.

In today’s interview, we get a personal glimpse at the man behind the music as well as the beginnings of Proper Nouns and how to overcome the trials life throws at you, both internally and externally, and convey them in the music. This can be inspirational.

About Aleks Grey

Aleks Grey has released his new single titled ‘B.A.B.Y.’. Standing for ‘Being Alone the Breaks You’, tells the story of not taking that chance in life. Finding that special someone. I’ve been there myself and thank God my fiancé is braver than I am.

Having said all of that, the song starts off with that Aleks Grey that has evolved into a more complex and thoughtful songwriter and such a different and diverse artist with a stellar track that is as pertinent as it is polished. This song sounds like a million dollars. And that, folks, is the secret to getting your name out. Listen. Learn. Love, baby!

About Electrobuddha

Electrobuddha is set to drop the new single titled ‘Biba Love’ on June 4th. An almost retro-anthem with psyche-rock roots, ‘Biba Love’ sonically marches forth with the musical history of the past few decades and brings a dirty hook and raucous beat you won’t soon forget.

About Max Embers

Max Embers is set to drop his new single titled ‘Wildest Dreams’ on Friday. Before then, however, we get that exclusive first listen, and, this one is a privilege. It is a privilege because not only does ‘Wildest Dreams’ fit the sign of the times, it does it with such an earnest and honest way about it and a clear and vivid musical side that you will not only relate but rely on.

‘Wildest Dreams’ has a subtle orchestral vibe with Max’s weathered angelic vocals guiding and gliding throughout. Some songs need not shout the message in your face. Some just need to give you their heart. This is the latter. Beautiful. And over too soon.

About Royals

About Yelpy

Yelpy has released his new video for the track titled ‘Heartbeats’. Written masterfully and capturing that moment and emotion within the moment, ‘Heartbeats’ accompanying video is a visual aid to that future memory and style that is always copied but almost never improved on, except here. Simplistic video captures soar with the consistent hook that is the style of Yelpy. This is magic.

About Razorbats

Razorbats have officially today released their new album titled ‘Mainline Rock ‘N’ Roll’. Multiple eras clash in multiple ways and collide with originality in this new album that showcases Razorbats’ songwriting and musicianship. There isn’t a single song that doesn’t deserve a foot stomp or a headbang in a solid rock album with signature riffs and distinct hooks. This is an anthem as much as it is an album.

Dope Saggitarius Release Video for ‘Black Empress’ (The Week in #Indie Segment)

Dope Sagittarius has released their video for the track titled ‘Black Empress’ featuring Mike Ladd. Presented as a giant fusion fueled ‘funk you’ to the masses with a sonic cleansing and rebuilding of originality on a level not heard since the great Sun Ra.

Kurtis Hoppie Releases New Video for ‘Vegan Burgers’ (The Week in #Indie Segment)

Kurtis Hoppie has released his new video for the track titled ‘Vegan Burgers’. A unique track featuring Kurtis’ original rap cadence and lyrical phrasing way left of the creativity side, ‘Vegan Burgers’ transcends the rap genre into pop with a killer sense for songwriting proving that a hook can be a monster.

The video is a story with heart and a visual with art and fits perfectly to the beat of the track. A video track for the sound.

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.
