Looking back at March this year, we did not know what we know now. That this ominous, highly infectious virus would have this kind of staying power and dominate our lives not only way into 2020 but into 2021 as well. The last real in-person live shows we attended were[…]
It is always a nice day when we can premiere a song from a New York-based band, especially one we have been following for a while since they got our attention during a local music festival in fall 2017. We are excited to premiere the exuberant “Ri¢h Kids”, the new[…]
Tim Robert (vocals, guitar) and Kent Friedman (synthesizer) first met while working as DJs and producers in New York City dance clubs. They had made a name for themselves in the electronic music scene individually and chose the not exactly easy year of 2020 to start their collaborative project Dream[…]
Can we collectively miss New York City? The energy, the possibilities, and the surprises NYC had in store for us? While not born and bred in the city like Heather Goldin and Emma Jenney of indie-pop duo Beau, I think most of us can relate to the joie-de-vivre their new[…]
New York-based singer/songwriter Justin Dean Thomas just released his new single, the utterly charming “Peach Rings”. His guitar play brings the stars above alive so you can almost hear them sparkling while you are riding the car with him. We reached out to Justin and asked him about his inspiration[…]

Dire times maybe ask for philosophy and culture, and so a variation of a quote of the famous German writer Goethe comes to mind: “two hearts have always beat within my breast”, one for SXSW and one for The New Colossus Festival, well since 2019 anyway! Now, with the former[…]
The story behind the song is as intriguing as the track itself: NYC music pioneer Ken Rockwood asked Brothers Isaac & Thorald Koren from duo The Kin/BRÅVES if they would ever consider creating an acoustic album. Long story short, the three of them explored their options, and their album “I[…]
Summer of 2019 saw the first flurry of shows by Brooklyn-based indie rockers Clone, when they steadily build their fanbase, who will also come out tonight when Clone celebrate the release of their single “New Romance”. With members of other alluring formations it comes as no surprise that Clone can[…]
