New Music Alert: “Wasting Time” by Dadadoh + The POC

February 17, 2021 Featured Articles Singles

At this point in my career, it’s far too redundant to say that Dadadoh “just keeps getting better” or “is an artist everyone should be paying attention to” so let’s just assume those points are implicit henceforth for all future coverage. Agreed? I mean, we’re all friends here, right? After 2019’s Wowee showed the artist in pivot mode, “Wasting Time” ups the ante in a shocking way…

New Music Alert | “Tonic” by BigRipple

January 31, 2021 Featured Articles Singles

BigRipple started making acoustic music together just a few years back after the spark that would become the band ignited with the Sun Devil Musicians Club.

Lush harmonies, sharp instrumentation, and a splash of 1970s arena rock style round out the sonic experience that is BigRipple…

Bobcat Rob & The Nightly Howl released this melodic number just as 2020 was nearly its close. But, sadly, all the horrors of that year did not appear to end at midnight on New Year’s Eve so this song might just be needed to help carry us a little further. “Beauty in the World” reminds us to take time to focus on the beauty around us; the moments in our lives as they keep moving by…

UPSAHL makes a declaration of self in her latest single, “Arizona.” This song was released as a bonus track on her new EP, Young Life Crisis, which came out in December. Rather than a testament to her home state, UPSAHL dives deep into the grrrl from Arizona. The same one who moved from bubble gum pop as an emerging artist to the brash and polished performer that she is today…
