As we head into the third week of May, so much is happening in our indie music world. Here are some of the biggest stories.
MILCK SIGNS WITH MAJOR LABEL
Los Angeles-based singer-songwriter Connie Lim aka MILCK, who came to the world’s attention when her song “Quiet” was performed during the Women’s March back in January, has signed with Atlantic Records. They are planning to record her anthemic ballad, as well as new music on her first album for them. Congratulations for keeping the indie spirit alive in the majors. We wish you well MILCK.
STOP MOTION POETRY LAUNCHES KICKSTARTER CAMPAIGN
Stop Motion Poetry, a Modesto, California based band of brothers, has launched their Kickstarter campaign to help with the expenses of recording their next album, an EP named Dead Rose. Click on the Kickstarter link to find out more.
NEW MUSIC
Check out this amazing tune, “The Smoke and the Stars,” from new artist Jason Hawk Harris. We think he’s definitely got the talent to take it to the limit, and we look forward to whatever he sends to us next.
MUSIC VIDEOS
We are proud to share some of the latest music videos with your from these amazing artists:
“Fill me Up” is one of our favorite cuts from Amilia K Spicer’s new album Wow and Flutter. We hope you like it as much as we do.
Here’s the latest single from Frank Shiner’s new album, Lonely Town Lonely Street, which we will review tomorrow. Is this not the perfect chill song for after work relaxation? This song has been covered by some of the legends in music, and we would be remiss not to include Shiner’s cover in that mix.
If the previous song provided chill relief, then the latest video from LA Music Critic Award winner Rod Melancon will provoke you in a visceral way. From his forthcoming Southern Gothic album soon to be released by Blue Élan Records, “Different Man” is a powerful visual aid to the story of the man who came home from the war a different man.
