In a way, it feels like half a lifetime since we last featured Geoff Gibbons with “Keep on Driving,” back in July 2020, yet the world hasn’t changed that much. While we have learned to live with COVID in all its scary forms, new, equally troublesome events are emerging. In his latest song, “Execution Man,” the Vancouver-based singer/songwriter points his thoughts inwards and reflects on the many layers we surround ourselves with, authentic and faux ones alike. Geoff says about the quiet, moody, and oh-so-catchy track:

We face so many obstacles in our lives –physical, emotional, personal, band psychic — we form so much of our identities based on falsehoods.. the warrior in us must face and destroy those falsehoods. “Execution Man” relates that the death of the false self is necessary in order to discover the true self.

Not an easy undertaking, hence the more somber tones in “Execution Man,” delivered in Geoff’s unpretentious and highly pleasing vocals with backing vocals by Mr. Maph. “Execution Man,” is accompanied by an enigmatic, cinematic music video created by Blue Cafe Music and Video with footage filmed by Morten Lovechild.

Skateland - Sunset Cinema

Skateland is the moniker of Austin, TX-based singer, songwriter, and producer Dorian Williams Jr., and his latest beautiful single, "Sunset Cinema," comes with a compelling music video. The song features a laid-back, hazy vibe, supporting Dorian's lyrics when he sings, "I can see you in

Kissed by the Moon

Was the music scene better in New York City twenty years ago? This is a question we can ask ourselves directly because when we immigrated to the United States in April 2001, we lived on the Lower East Side, and “indie sleaze” was happening right there in our neighborhood. In
