Heart-and-Hustle – Ashland Craft

10th August 2021

Ashland Craft reclaims the open road as her own in her highly anticipated debut album, TRAVELIN’ KIND, out September 3rd via Big Loud Records.

Featuring lead off track ‘Make It Past Georgia’ and follow up ‘Your Momma Still Does’ (released on Friday, Aug 6th), the Jonathan Singleton-produced collection features a heavy-hitting, GRAMMY-nominated songwriting crew including Singleton, Jessi Alexander, Jessie Jo Dillon, Rodney Clawson, and Wyatt Beasley Durrette, III, alongside her close friends and rising talents like Faren Rachels, Rob Snyder, Lee Starr, Willie Morrison, Reid Isbell, and Jenna LaMaster.

"I think it was important for me to start the story from the beginning, until now. And so it was only appropriate to name it Travelin’ Kind. In my head, that was an ideal title because that’s me right now. It’s what I’m doing and what I will be [doing] for a while,” Craft shared exclusively with American Songwriter. “I’m proud of the fact that it’s organic and a little more old school than the modern Country in the way we produced it. We didn’t use any tracks or extra things. We just let the music speak for itself. And, I feel like it turned out to represent me very well and who I am, and I’m excited for people to get to hear it and connect to it.”

Capturing the true heart-and-hustle of a 17 miles-per-gallon lifestyle, TRAVELIN’ KIND is an 11-track introduction to Craft and her ramblin’ way of life with “surefooted styling and brazen vocals” (American Songwriter). Roaming free and easy with all songs intersecting, the anticipated project represents Craft’s one-way ticket to Nashville and all the tour stops, truck stops, and broken hearts in-between, after relocating from her hometown of Piedmont, South Carolina, in 2019. Fresh off a Top 10 stint on NBC’s The Voice and signing a record deal smack-dab in the middle of a pandemic, she’s spent the last year counting down the days until touring again.

The Work Speaks For Itself – Steve Conte

9th August 2021

Music News

New York City guitarist, singer and songwriter Steve Conte has found the way back to center stage with his first solo album in five years, the attitude-infused Bronx Cheer, releasing Friday, November 5 on Wicked Cool Records.

Long known for his memorable guitar work as a member of New York Dolls, as well as former Hanoi Rocks frontman Michael Monroe’s band (with whom he still performs), Steve found international fame in recent years via his collaborations with Japanese composer and artist Yoko Kanno on the soundtracks to several hit anime series, including Cowboy Bebop.

Of the latest single, Conte explains, "It started with the title, which is a phrase I always liked, but when I was finished with it, I noticed that I wasn’t only writing about those awful hot days in August where you don’t want to do much of anything. I was also writing about getting older and watching the young upstarts, full of hope and goals, pushing hard to get somewhere – and seeing my kids zoom by me with all their energy. At this point, I feel like I can relax and don’t have much to prove, because my work is out there on records, on video, in the consciousness of the public – in my bubble, anyway. And the work speaks for itself."

Stream the new single “Dog Days of Summer” HERE

orcd.co/dogdaysofsummer

Of the album's title, Conte says, “A ‘Bronx cheer’ is what we also call a ‘raspberry.’ Sticking out your tongue and blowing air to make a fart sound. The title for this album works on many levels. First is the fact that I moved to The Bronx five years ago – and I’m lovin’ it! But it all came together when I found the photo, which is on the album cover, of a group of high school kids marching down Fifth Avenue protesting the election of Donald Trump. So not only is the lead kid, Theo Fenton, raising his fist in protest, contrasting the word ‘cheer,’ the title also gives Trump a big fat raspberry!”

https://orcd.co/bronxcheer

“Dog Days of Summer” follows on the heels of the album’s previous two singles “Recovery Doll” and “Gimme Gimme Rockaway.”

Bronx Cheer is brimming with the spirit of New York both past and present. “I remember the danger, dirty streets, the garbage strike, sleazy 42nd Street,” Conte recalls of his first visits to the city as a kid in the 1970s. “When I moved here in the mid-1980s it was not all that different – but it’s very different now. Yet somehow, I still love it – and hate it. To me, that’s what the Blues and Punk Rock have in common – complaining!”_

The album’s 11 tuneful new songs, all written by Conte (with one co-written by Brynn Arens) swing like a citified update on Paul Westerberg or Old 97’s. The first single “Recovery Doll” is a fast-paced tale of excess that traces a descent from fun times to darker spaces. “Wildwood Moon” and “Dog Days Of Summer” are bursting with hot-weather nostalgia and shimmering production. “Liar Like You” is an unabashed Punk rave-up.

The core of Bronx Cheer consists of Steve on guitar and vocals with bass by his brother John Conte (Southside Johnny & The Jukes, David Bowie, Ian Hunter) and the renowned Charley Drayton (Keith Richards, Iggy Pop, The Replacements) on drums.

“I knew I wanted to make a straight ahead Rock and Soul album with New York attitude, but I didn’t want the approach of the drummer to be predictable or normal.” Steve explains. “Charley brings a certain quirkiness to a track that no one else would think of. And John was the only bass player I even considered having on this record.”

Conte produced the album with Andrew Hollander, who in addition to work with Indie bands like White Rabbits has also composed and/or produced with Pop stalwarts like The Chainsmokers and Carly Rae Jepsen. “A lot of times Andrew was the tiebreaker between two different parts of my mind, like when I was wondering if I should play a 12-string solo or use a wah-wah pedal.”

Tracking for the album began in September 2019 at Atomic Sound in Brooklyn. Overdubs were completed by February 2020, and the album was mixed during the pandemic by Niko Bolas (Neil Young, Keith Richards, Don Henley).

Album closer “Gimme Gimme Rockaway” is the one song which had been released prior to 2021, having found success and “Coolest Song In The World” status on Little Steven’s Underground Garage as a 2017 single. For that track, the band consists of Conte with Clem Burke of Blondie on drums and Andy Rourke of The Smiths on bass, with Wicked Cool labelmate Jesse Malin on backing vocals.

Raised in a musical family – Steve’s mother Rosemary Conte is a noted NY/NJ jazz singer – Steve started spending time in New York City as a kid, his father bringing him to his first Madison Square Garden concert, by none other than Chuck Berry. Some years later, Conte found himself playing an entire show onstage in Berry’s band. His own music first gained notice when his band Company Of Wolves signed to Mercury Records, releasing a self-titled album on the label in 1990. Over the years he’s also worked with Peter Wolf, Eric Burdon of The Animals, Willy DeVille, Billy Squier, Willie Nile, Maceo Parker, and even been Paul Simon’s tour rehearsal vocal stand-in.

Conte first met Wicked Cool founder Stevie Van Zandt when the Dolls played Van Zandt’s Underground Garage Festival in 2004. “But my connection with him goes back to Jersey,” he says. “I grew up with his cousins in Matawan [near the Jersey shore], so I had been hearing about his legend for years.”

A Devil On Her Shoulder – MASSIE

9th August 2021

Music News

Sacramento, California singer/songwriter MASSIE released her brand new single “Eating Me Alive” that features Shayley Bourget (Dayshell, Of Mice & Men).

“We all have our demons. Everyone is dealing and struggling with one thing or another. Eating Me Alive is a dialogue between a person and the devil on their shoulder. For me, the song represents how social media makes me feel. It can be hurtful, and negative, a let down and a big discouragement but I continue to give into it. Our generation has become a generation of addicts . Addicted to technology and the high from it. We crave attention in new ways that previous generations haven’t. But we aren’t only addicted to technology and social media and attention. We struggle with alcoholism, getting high, adrenaline, living up to beauty standards, fitting in. I think it all causes that thought ‘I hate myself’. We just need to remember that we ARE loved, we ARE wanted, we ARE worth and you are NEVER in this alone” says Massie.

https://songwhip.com/massie/eating-me-alive

The single was also produced by Shayley Bourget who was quoted as saying, "Working with Massie was a breeze and a breath of fresh air. Although I’m fairly new to this whole producing and writing music for other clients gig, she was a client to remember. Out of all the people I worked with she was by far the most prepared. Being a vocalist myself and understanding how much work goes into being a great singer, she came in and sang like she wanted to be a star. From her pitch to her delivery, near flawless! When a producer is with talent like that the energy and the ideas naturally come to life. That’s where magic begins. She’s got it all. Talent, respect, professionalism, beauty and grace. Everything a person needs to be a star. I expect great things in her future. The sky and beyond is the limit for this young lady."

Massie is a singer/ songwriter from Sacramento, CA. Hailing from a diverse background of musical endeavors, she is gifted with a wide vocal range, from smooth airy melodies to driving edgy choruses. Since she was 10 years of age, she has been writing her own songs in relation to life events and emotion.

Throughout her music journey she has worked with Thrasher, who has engineered for artists such as, Travis Barker, Machine Gun Kelly, jxdn, and more. In addition to working with Thrasher, she has worked with Earl Cohen, a Grammy award winning producer in New York, Brian Grider and Misha Hercules, based in Los Angeles.

Flying High – Alyssa Bonagura

6th August 2021

Country News

Alyssa Bonagura has shared a full-band performance of her new single ‘New Wings’, the latest in a series of videos filmed last summer in Liverpool, when the Nashville singer-songwriter visited the UK during the easing of travel restrictions – watch here.

As she told music site Holler, who premiered the video yesterday (3/8), “We all got to come together for the love of music and play after months of no work and I think the love of it really shines through these videos. [Adlib] helped me create an arena stage show with personal visuals that brought the show of my dreams to life.”

Having studied music at the Liverpool Institute of Performing Arts (LIPA), Alyssa returned to the city last summer as travel restrictions began to lift, to reconnect with a group of musicians and bring them together to film a twelve-song live set. Filmed and produced by leading event company Adlib, who built a full-scale live production in their Liverpool studio, the shoot was the closest that everyone involved could come to getting back out on the road. This week’s release coincides with her return to live music in the UK, having performed at Manchester’s Buckle & Boots festival over the weekend alongside The Shires, Tebey and more.

Upcoming UK live dates:

Aug 25th – Nashville Sounds in the Round at Kitchen Garden – Birmingham

Aug 31st – NML Presents at Pizza Express Live, Holborn – London

‘New Wings’ was given an exclusive first play on BBC Radio 2 by Bob Harris last month, who described Bonagura as “an outstanding artist,” before the single went on to be featured as one of Baylen Leonard’s spotlight tracks on Absolute Radio Country and included on New Music Friday (Spotify), and The Independent’s weekly Now Hear This playlist.

A celebrated songwriter, producer, and multi-instrumentalist, Alyssa Bonagura has spent the past decade fine-tuning a sound that reaches far beyond her Nashville roots. It’s a sound that blurs the boundaries between genres, mixing the southern storytelling of country music, the free-thinking spirit of rock & roll, and the cinematic sweep of Brit-pop into its own hybrid. For Alyssa — a lifelong road warrior who spent her infancy aboard a tour bus, recorded a duet with Kenny Rogers at 10 years old, received her college diploma from Sir Paul McCartney, performed stadium shows as a member of the major-label duo The Sisterhood Band, and currently balances her critically-acclaimed solo career with an ongoing gig writing songs for Jessie James Decker, Aerosmith frontman Steven Tyler, and others — it’s also a sound that’s every bit as diverse as her own story.

Nowhere is that clearer than on 2021’s “New Wings.” Recorded during the pandemic, it’s a song about struggle, survival, and the soaring feeling of flight, delivered by a multidimensional musician who’s never shied away from unexplored territory.

Tying Up The Remnants – Annabel Gutherz

6th August 2021

Music News

Singer-songwriter Annabel Gutherz shares her new single and lyric video, “Remnant,” from her upcoming debut album ‘Loose Ends.’

“Remnant” is an emotionally poignant coming of age track. Atop Americana-influenced guitar and understated percussion, Annabel's soothing vocals croon about lost friendship: “You were someone that I used to know / But where oh where did that girl go / Now you’re just a remnant of that dear old friend / Stuck in the body of Miss Pretend.”

An ardent and perspective storyteller, Annabel’s diaristic lyricism, honeyed melodies and full-bodied vocals take listeners on a journey as she writes from the heart with raw honesty and emotional conviction. On “Remnant,” she uses the personal as a vehicle into the universal, capturing the complex mutability of friendships as we move from adolescence into adulthood.

It’s a song about the evolution of a friendship from childhood to adolescence, and how the dynamic between two people can change as they grow… And sometimes grow apart," Annabel says.

Montreal-based singer-songwriter Annabel Gutherz made her debut in 2018 with “Legends,” a philanthropic song whose proceeds are donated to education-based charities. After spending the past few years honing her musical talents at Berklee College of Music, Annabel is now preparing to share her debut album, ‘Loose Ends.’ The 11-song record is due out later this year and was co-produced by Dominique Messier, a long time band member for Céline Dion and owner of Studio Piccolo in Montreal, Quebec.

Disdain to Hatred – BEGAT THE NEPHILIM

6th August 2021

Mainly Metal

Southern New Hampshire based blackened melodic death metal unit BEGAT THE NEPHILIM have announced their worldwide signing with Noble Demon Records – joining the label’s eclectic artist roster for an album release in the Fall of 2021!

Formed in 2012, BEGAT THE NEPHILIM have carved a dynamic and distinctive career, sharing stages with high profile acts such as SOULFLY, SUICIDE SILENCE, NAPALM DEATH, SUFFOCATION, MORBID ANGEL and many more, as well as participating in tours/festivals across the US, such as Summer Slaughter and the New England Metal and Hardcore Festival. With their heavy yet melodic, anthemic and technically impressive sound, as well as their frenetic & chaotic live performances, the band successfully established a lasting impression on crowds across the US.

BEGAT THE NEPHILIM‘s highly anticipated sophomore full-length record, titled “II: The Grand Procession”, will be coming out on October 29th via German powerhouse label Noble Demon. In support of the new album, BEGAT THE NEPHILIM just unleashed a brand new lyric video for the track “Paupers Grave”, a first and enthralling glimpse of what to expect from the band’s upcoming output!

Make sure to pre-save “II: The Grand Procession” at THIS LOCATION,

"This song is likely the most political we will ever get, though written from a neutral standpoint so as to be appreciated and viewed through the eyes of any political affiliation, regardless of where on the spectrum you fall. It seems the lens through which people perceive one another lately, political “adversaries ” in particular, often ranges from disdain to hatred for one another; leaving no ability to find a middle ground or means of compromise." the band comments.

Shedding Regrets – TARYN

5th August 2021

Music News

Atlanta-based singer-songwriter TARYN is sharing the official music video for her latest single, “Brand New.”

“Brand New” is about shedding regrets from the past and welcoming growth, vulnerability, and experience with open arms. The pairing music video was shot in Nashville, TN and was created with a small team consisting of director Joseph Wasilewski, assistant director Garrett Boiling, gaffer Richard Chilton, and choreographer Ysa Fernandez. Over the course of the video, the camera follows TARYN closely as she dances through her home, mirroring the intimate and autobiographical nature of the song.

“I think the video does a beautiful job of conveying what the song represents: frequent change and the feeling of freedom in your own space, creating an environment for yourself that you’re comfortable with and that you’re proud to live in, that expresses who you are on the inside and out,”

TARYN

Influenced by old soul and modern pop, TARYN seamlessly blends warm vocals with tasteful, cutting edge production. Lyrically, she searches for the connections that make each and every one of us human, exploring these areas with curiosity and understanding.

Listen to “Brand New” on all streaming platforms:
https://levelmusic.lnk.to/BrandNew

Originally hailing from Ohio, TARYN’s childhood was soundtracked by artists spanning all genres and decades. From a young age, TARYN was encouraged to explore her creativity and fell in love with guitar, her first instrument, when she was just six years old. After years of honing her sound and songwriting, the now 23-year-old Atlanta-based artist is coming into her own as an impressive left-of-center singer and songwriter.

Red Hot And Blue – XENIA RUBINOS

4th August 2021

Music News

Just a little over a month after the release of ‘Working All The Time’, Xenia Rubinos gives another taste of her forthcoming album Una Rosa with the single ‘Sacude’- an intense, electrified and life-giving track that demonstrates the artist’s versatility and fearlessness.

Everytime I would sit down to improvise or write, I would just end up singing along to rumba songs instead,’ Xenia says. ‘Sacude’ was the song that cut through the silence, the first she’d written in a long time and technically the first she wrote for Una Rosa. ‘Sacude’ was a kind of mantra for her, what she would say to herself to shake off the funk she was in. Beginning with a steady clave and sweetly-harmonized a cappella, the song quickly escalates into a heavy, electrified, stuttering backbeat that gives the song an ominous overtone. ‘It’s definitely not a rumba, but it’s MY rumba,’ she says of the song.

A defiant-yet reverent abstraction of and tribute to the genre, the song is pure Xenia, all the while uplifted by the influences of idols like Rita Indiana- ‘’Sacude’ is my ‘El Juidero’- it is my reimagining or retelling of rhythms and melodies I have heard all my life that I carry inside me’. The track begins with her singing to ‘Nancy’, who is ‘Negative Nancy’- a character that Xenia describes as ‘Debbie Downer’s evil sexy cousin’. The song continues on to attempt to get her out of her head ‘time to let it go’, the song repeats. Musically, Xenia was heavily influenced by Los Muñequitos de Matanzas, an acclaimed 1950s Cuban Rumba ensemble. In the dynamics of the song, she also dips into a dream she’s always had of being a sonero (leader of a salsa band) like the legend Willie Colon- the simple-yet-piercing chorus Sacude, SacudeY Dios Que Me Ayude, is ‘answered’ the last time around with ‘el diablo está detrás de la puerta’ of which Xenia says ‘I sang that last hook thinking about how [Willie Colon] or I might do it if I was el sonero.’ The last line of the song, Paloma dame la mano/Que quiero subir/subir hasta el cielo, is a play on a song Xenia used to hear sung at Puerto Rican Christmas parrandas when she was a kid. The song, which is carried by an old school hip hop beat, is a danceable confrontation of mortality- one that urges you to get out of your head and dance.

Listen to ‘Sacude’ Here

‘Sacude’ is the fifth single off of Xenia Rubinos’ forthcoming album Una Rosa which is due out October 15 via Anti- Records. The record comes five years after her critically acclaimed 2016 release Black Terry Cat which the New Yorker called ‘rhythmically fierce, vocally generous music that slips through the net of any known genre.’ Una Rosa is a cinematic obra, an imagined night time space where you’re transported through the lives of various characters, all of whom are sonically painted in each track. The record is two-sided- the ‘RED’ A side, featuring tracks that are hot, aggressive, in-your-face fiery drama, and the ‘BLUE’ B side, which presents a more introspective yet expansive mood.

Sonically, the album is somewhat of a departure from her earlier work- rather than striving for pitch-perfect vocals and tight live instrumentation, she cut most of the vocals in a single take, only tinkering with them after the fact. It’s an album centered around a multi-layered audiovisual story and the characters it contains. A true expansion of what the world knows to be Xenia’s palette, it features some of the most complex and cinematic production that she’s done to date. Emotional, vulnerable, and spontaneous, Una Rosa is a journey that keeps the listener constantly anticipating the next turn.
