And just like that we have moved into the month of October. Today we’re enjoying our first day off work in nearly three weeks, and we took the time to go out looking for a somewhere to live (we’ve been crashing in my brother’s RV since we arrived here in July), went shopping for warm clothes (because all our stuff is in storage in Montana which is already under a blanket of snow), and otherwise took it easy. We apologize for not getting more reviews done but frankly have not had the time (or energy) to do them after working long shifts). We do hope to get back to them shortly. In the meantime, here is our first Monday Mashup of October.
ANDY GRAMMER ON TOUR
Pop star Andy Grammer is currently on his “Don’t Give Up on Me” tour which will make a stop in Oklahoma City on October 15. We will be there to review the show, and finally get the chance to meet him. We have known his wife Aijia for more than 10 years, so this will be a treat for us. Watch for the review soon.
NEW SINGLES
Our first single for this month comes from the alt-rock sound of Alex McArtor. She is a dynamic performer and lays it all out with her single “Speed Into Air.” We really love this track and can’t wait to hear the rest of her forthcoming album.
Next up is “Another Boy from The Last Morrell. This one will bring back memories of early Billy Joel, and we simply love it.
Our next single has a throwback vibe reminiscent of Electric Light Orchestra, and we think now is the perfect time to introduce you to The Brilliance and their first single, “World Keeps Spinning .” This one will get you grooving – kick back and enjoy it.
Our fourth single shines a spotlight on mental health via the incredibly gorgeous sound of singer-songwriter Ann King. We hope that we will all become “Stronger” from listening to these words.
Our final single this week is from Geneva White, whose silky smooth vocals highlight the passion and power of her single “Frame.” This is definitely an artist to keep on your radar – we think she is about to blow up.
NEW MUSIC VIDEOS
Our first video includes the haunting sound of Young Clancy, coupled with eerie cinematography on the hard-hitting song, “Up With the Birds.” We are so glad we got the chance to experience this amazing artist.
Next up is a unique POV video from the band King Hiss for their song, “GTWHR.” This one is a hard-hitting rock song that becomes even more powerful with the manner it was shot – almost like you were on stage with them. Rock out on this one.
Our third video has a decidely 80s vibe and we truly dig it. Check out “Private Show” from Black Marble.
Next up is the latest from Blue Élan Records artist and LA Music Critic Awards winner Chelsea Williams. It is a stirring cover of Jackson Browne’s “These Days.” This one will hit you right where you need it.
We close out this week’s indie roundup with the latest video from KidEyes for his single, “Malibu.” We think we can all relate to the frustrations depicted in this video, while grooving to this incredible tune.
