The Whole Kameese Leave a comment

We recently had the absolute honor to check out the debut EP, “Glass Jaw”, from the extraordinary Kat Cunning. You can listen to “Glass Jaw” on Spotify Here and on Apple Music Here.

Kat Cunning, is an artist in every sense of the word. They have artfully crafted a true musical gem with “Glass Jaw”, that we simply can’t stop listening to. We danced , we sang …. Our music loving heart was touched beyond measure.

Kat Cunning, has delivered a five-track, cinematic and genre-bending opus that solidifies their place as one of today’s most fearless queer voices. Both anthemic and intimate, the record frames their unmistakable voice—rich, raw, and commanding—which has graced stages and cinemas around the world. Having opened for artists like LP, Verite and G Flip, their career also spans Broadway, Cirque du Soleil, TV & Film. In this bold departure from their lush, romantic early work, Glass Jaw exists in the affair between LOVE and DANGER. Capturing the raw electricity of Cunning’s stage presence with a grittier sonic palette and a masterful visual album.  

The EP’s opening track, “Sinderella” had us immediately enthralled. “Sinderella” flips fairytale tropes into a kinky, unhinged anthem of obsession—urgent, theatrical, and unforgettable. It’s also Kat’s drag debut, sung at the top of their range

The flawless vocals on “Dancer”, were positively breathtaking. With muscular production and aching vocals, it invokes the shadows of Depeche Mode and Annie Lennox while exploding into an anthem of delirious persistence. A galvanizing homage to the radical joy and resilience of the queer community, it’s not just a pop song; it’s a rallying cry. Love Lies Bleeding called- They want their theme song back. 

Our favorite track on the EP, is without question, “Pinup Boy” . Kat Cunning, is at their absolute best . Sung like a confession, this lonely ballad blooms with nostalgic harmonies and organic strings, reminding us that even in spectacle, Cunning has the instincts of a poet. Pure Perfection.

We are totally in love with the samples on “Rocket” the song sent our music loving heart into orbit.

Closing track “My Lady (Tigerlily)” is the stupid-in-love, seal of hope on the EP.  Giddy, bombastic and unabashed, it’s the button on an otherwise darker world—a reminder that queer stories can end in triumph, not tragedy, no matter how many scorpio placements you have in your chart. We’re in pop music to celebrate escapism, maximalism and radical joy, afterall.

“Glass Jaw” from the simply amazing Kat Cunning, is much more than just an EP, it is a beautiful, glorious , inspiring and important body of work that is felt long after the music has ended.

We recently had the amazing opportunity to check out the new single, “Fragile”, from rising artist, Rayvon Owen. You can listen to “Fragile” Here

“Fragile”, from Rayon Owen, is one of those magical songs that you can’t help but love from the very first time you hear it.

Rayvon Owen’s music is a celebration of authenticity, love, and resilience. Each song in his catalog offers a glimpse into his journey, blending lush pop textures with elements of soul, R&B, and incandescent synths. His uplifting and deeply personal storytelling has earned recognition from People Magazine, HuffPost, USA Today, and Billboard, solidifying his place as a voice for self-expression and connection.

Breaking onto the scene as a top-four finalist on American Idol (Season 14), Owen has since built an impressive career spanning music, television, and high-profile performances. His 2024 single “Enough” was heavily featured in a pivotal scene on All American: Homecoming on The CW, while his music has also been showcased on Love Island Australia.

Melodically catchy and well written, “Fragile”, is ready to be your new favorite song …. You just don’t know it yet.

 “Fragile” came out of a fun session with my producer/co-writer buddy RUSS… we were just catching a vibe, feeling good, and the song kind of wrote itself. It’s about giving love another shot… letting someone know it’s okay to feel a little broken, but it’s also okay to try again—with me. I wanted it to feel like a soft nudge to open your heart back up. And honestly, while I was writing it for someone else, I realized I needed to hear it too. It’s a reminder that even when we’re fragile, we’re still worthy of love.

A proud advocate for the LGBTQ+ community, Owen has headlined and mainstaged pride festivals across the country, including World Pride, West Hollywood Pride, Tulsa Pride, and Space Coast Pride, using his platforms to celebrate freedom and visibility.

We recently had the phenomenal opportunity, to check out the electrified new version of Meg Smith’s fan-favorite single “Girls Just Wanna Be Famous”, released through Artist House. Meg, has teamed up with fellow pop powerhouses , Molly Grace, and MARIS. And… it is absolutely amazing!!

You can listen to “Girls Just Wanna Be Famous (er) Here

First released earlier this year, “Girls Just Wanna Be Famous” became an underground anthem – a sparkling, theatrical ode to ambition, stardom, and feminine chaos. Now reimagined with Molly and MARIS, the new version takes on fresh life with three bold voices and a shared sense of tongue-in-cheek honesty. It’s maximalist, emotional, and infectious, the kind of pop song that makes you want to laugh and choreograph a performance in your bedroom mirror.

The second we finished writing ‘Girls Just Wanna Be Famous’, I knew I wanted Molly & Maris to feature on the remix,” says Meg. “This song is a love letter to every girl who’s dreamed of their name in lights and I’m so inspired by Molly and Maris’ hard work and talent. We had so much fun working on this remix!

MARIS, the genre-bending pop star known for her glittery synths and cosmic storytelling, wrote and recorded her verse remotely after Meg reached out via Instagram. 

“’Girls Just Wanna Be Famous(er)’ feels like both a celebration and a lament for the path of a creative girl who really just wants to connect with people,” MARIS says. “Meg literally just DM’d me on Instagram and asked if I would be down to write a verse, which I was so excited about because I already loved the song so much! I ended up writing a verse in one sitting and recorded the vocals in my home studio. Seeing everything come to life has been so fun and beautiful, and I’m honored to be on a song with such stunning pop icons!! ❤ I am a Meg Smith and Molly Grace stan forever.”

Molly Grace, whose disco-drenched alt-pop and powerhouse vocals have made her one of the genre’s rising stars, delivers a fiery new verse and irresistible energy to the rework. Already a close collaborator of Meg’s, this marks their first official release together.

Alongside the release, Meg also announces she’ll be joining Molly Grace on her upcoming ‘Blush’ Tour as direct support, kicking off October 10 in Chicago, hitting 25 major cities across North America, and wrapping up November 17 in Los Angeles.

The Peppermint Kicks Are The Cure For Your Rock And Roll Sweet Tooth, With Their Decadent New Album, “Pop Rocks In My Chewing Gum “

The Whole Kameese Leave a comment

When done right, rock and roll can be the sweetest treat you’ll ever consume. This is with a doubt the case with the sensational new album, via Rum Bar Records, “Pop Rocks In My Chewing Gum”, from Boston , power pop rock and roll treasure, The Peppermint Kicks.

You can listen to “Pop Rocks In My Chewing Gum” on Spotify Here, Apple Music Here and on Bandcamp Here

In the world of technology, there is a term , “Plug and Play” Which by definition – is used to describe computer equipment, for example, a printer, that is ready to use immediately when you connect it to a computer ( So basically nothing complicated just plug and go ) The same could be said for the brilliant new album , “Pop Rocks In My Chewing Gum”, from The Peppermint Kicks . A straight up power pop rock and record that all you need to do is press play and… You achieve rock and roll music listening perfection instantly.

Ever since we heard the June single and fiery ode to the airwaves “Radio Wam Bam Boom”, we have been fixing for more rock and roll goodness…. And that’s exactly what we got with “Pop Rocks In My Chewing Gum”

Courtesy Of The Band

The Peppermint Kick, ( The Boston duo of Dan Kopko and Sal Baglio) triumphantly return with their first new Peppermint Kicks album in three years in Pop Rocks In My Chewing Gum, a livewire collection of anthemic, retro-kissed power-pop and neo-glam belters out via CD and streaming today, (Friday, August 1 ) on Rum Bar Records.

“Pop Rocks In My Chewing Gum” , from beginning to end, is loaded with every you would ever want in the perfect rock and roll record.

10 tracks – swirling around playful themes of lollipops and candy, crushes and longing, breakups and redemption, all served with a sizable sonic dose of hope and fun – explode out of the speakers with distinct personality and purpose. And the lyrical subject matter is varied, but oddly pointed. 

“The Peppermint Kicks go international on Pop Rocks In My Chewing Gum – perhaps even unintentionally, but we are not telling!” says Baglio with a laugh. “There are songs about French girls, candy, and trash cans. Twiggy-esque Lollipop Girls in the UK. An Italian female pop star from the ‘60s, paeans to classic Japanese cartoons, NYC, and Boston, too. And it would not be a Kicks record without songs about radio and rock and roll.” 

We felt ourselves falling deeper and deeper for the sweet sounds of The Peppermint Kicks, with every song sounding better than the last.

“Pop Rocks In My Chewing Gum, its title taken from a lyric in the album’s riff-tastic spotlight single “Too Sweet (Oh Yeah!)” – “Excitations on my tongue / pop rocks in my chewing gum,” We can neither confirm or deny that we may have been belting these lyrics EVERYWHERE.

It is next to impossible to pick a favorite song from “Pop Rocks In My Chewing Gum”. “Little Doll (Piccola Pupa) “ , “Shangri La” and “Lollipop Girl” , had us dancing our hearts out. However, the one song that really hit the sweet spot , was without question- “Number One Record “ we simply could not get enough of this freaking power pop masterpiece.

Both Dan Kopko and Sal Baglio performed all the instrumentation on the record –  Baglio on guitars, piano, vocals and Kopko on guitars, bass, vocals – aside from drums, which were provided by Kevin Rapillo, Chris Anzalone, and Napoleon Hashimoto. The album was mixed and mastered by Kopko’s alter ego, Danny The K. 

If it is music you crave…. Then you owe it to yourself to check out “Pop Rocks In My Chewing Gum” from The Peppermint Kicks.

“‘Therapy & Yoga’ is a BOP. It’s for all the glow-up girlies who decided to choose themselves this summer,” JESSIA shares. “It’s about self-love, moving on, and forgetting about that one guy who asked for gas money anytime you went anywhere. This is the song to get you out of bed and strutting down the street.” 

With over 500 million streams to her name, JESSIA has built a reputation for crafting emotionally charged anthems that pair unfiltered honesty with undeniable hooks. Her music is raw and unapologetic, creating a space where fans feel seen, understood, and celebrated.

An earth moving melody with vocals that are simply out of this world . “Therapy&Yoga” from JESSIA, is a can’t miss.

The Gypsy Moths Have Us Wanting More With Epically Pleasing New EP, “Five By Five From Four”

The Whole Kameese Leave a comment

We recently had the absolutely sensational opportunity to check out the new EP, “Five By Five From Four”, via Rum Bar Records, from Massachusetts garage-pop soul shakers, The Gypsy Moths. (Spoiler Alert: This EP Will Make Fall Hopelessly In Love With The Gypsy Moths)

You can listen to “Five By Five From Four “ on Spotify Here, Apple Music Here

Right from the first note on “And You Know I Do”, on – “Five By Five From Four” we were instantly smitten with the one of a kind sound from The Gypsy Moths

The five-track record, which arrives today (July 25th) is a proper primer for the quintet’s ambitious double-album set for release in October. 

The EP is perfectly timed , as The Gypsy Moths unveil the record just ahead of appearing at Rum Bar labelmates The Dogmatics’ album release party blowout on Saturday, July 26 at the French-American Victory Club in Waltham, alongside Band 19, Last Stand, Stop Calling Me Frank, and several others.    

The title of Five By Five From Four is also a nod to the band – a group of longtime friends, collaborators, and conspirators consisting of Steve O’Brien (vocals); Chris Conway (guitar, vocals, keyboards, percussion); Phil Thompson (bass); Matt Miceli (drums and percussion); and Dave Buckley (keyboards) – and the forthcoming double-LP: Five songs, by five Moths, from four sides of the album. 

Courtesy Of The Band

There is an authentic “feel good” sound that is present throughout the EP, that we are positivity over the moon about.

“This is probably the most excited I’ve been for any of our releases,” says Conway, who produced the EP. “We’ve pushed the corners further on what the band is all about musically, both with our recordings and in the writing. All five of us have known each other and played music in one form or another with each other going back to the mid-’80s when we were in high school together, so this set of recordings is the first representation of that bond of music, friendship, and creativity that has been coming together for over 40 years now.” 

Five By Five From Four, was recorded with Ed Riemer at Edsbarn in Canton, Massachusetts,and mastered by Dave Westner

The record both blooms in several creative directions while oddly continuing in a Gypsy Moths throughline: “Before The Lights Went Out” tugs at jangle-pop heartstrings with an R&B-rock undercurrent; “Cover For Me” is a swagger strut of a tune that wouldn’t be out of place on a long-lost ‘60s best-of comp; and “Fold Up The Air” boasts a piano and guitar riff lead before vividly blossoming into glam and psych daydream territories.   

The stellar “Five By Five From Four “ , from The Gypsy Moths, is a can’t miss.

We Can Honestly Say That The Debut Album From The Far Out , “Greetings from The Far Out” , Was Love At First Listen

We don’t know what we did to be so lucky but, we consider ourselves absolutely blessed to be able to check out the new album, “Greetings from The Far Out”, from rising Boston pop-funk collective, The Far Out. You can listen to “Greetings from The Far Out” on Spotify Here, Apple Music Here

If you have yet to experience the electrifying next level pop funk from The Far Out , you are clearly only vibing at 50 percent. The epic new album, “Greetings from The Far Out “ is the perfect way to get your vibe to 100 percent.

We triple dog dare you to find a weak link on “Greetings from The Far Out “ … trust us you won’t … not even close . Every single song is more drop dead perfect than last . Eight gems that you can let play on repeat for infinity.

Led by a quartet of charismatic singles, including February’s “Funkadelic Gas” and May’s “Laurel,” the eight-track record from the Boston funk-pop collective welcomes the listener into its blossoming community, where positive vibes and blissful motivation – and an initiation to escape the day’s doom and gloom – are soundtracked by the sextet’s infectious sonic cocktail. 

“Hard times make for great music,” says saxophonist and guitarist Colin Senechal. “You gotta put your frustration and pent-up energy somewhere. If it can be upbeat to help people find some hope, even better!

With this debut album, a spectrum of styles and sounds that blends together funk, pop, indie, R&B, soul, Yacht Rock, ‘70s AM gold, Motown, and whatever else filtered through The Far Out’s unique sense of forward-motion retro-cool, the “New Act of the Year” recipient at the 2024 New England Music Awards is ready to take things to the next level. 

If you have been grooving to the singles , ( “Funkadelic Gas”, “Laurel”, “Packed To Go” and “See Red( You’re Dead” ) those are just the tip of the very funky iceberg.

Some of the other tunes that got us grooving, “Need A Win”, which is the absolute perfect song to kick off such a stellar album. “Lazy Lover” and “Putt Strut” If we were to pick our favorite on the record ( which is almost impossible to do ) we would without question choose, “Long Weekend “ ( the bass line is more decadent than any piece of chocolate we have ever had) “Long Weekend “ is straight up spectacular.

While the sound is varied and genre-hops from one beat to the next, a rare throughline across Greetings from The Far Out extends both in plain sight and lurking just below the aural surface. The record’s title and postcard artwork – as well as the stamp-themed art for the four singles, all designed by Olivia Lowe with design assistance from her brother Ezra Lowe – are a throwback to Bruce Springsteen’s 1973 debut Greetings from Asbury Park, N.J. And Lowe admits there are some overarching lyrical elements at play across the eight tracks, though it takes a dedicated listen to delve deep beyond the upbeat music.

The Far Out have some live shows + a late summer tour coming up you can check out dates below .

The Whole Kameese Leave a comment

Every time we get the privilege to listen to new music from Miami, based indie rock band , Mustard Service , we also walk away impressed and with a smile . The latest single , “Conversation Overtime“ is Mustard Service shining in all their glory.

You can listen to “Conversation Overtime” Here

 “Conversation Overtime” delves into the emotionally charged space where communication teeters on the edge of conflict. It captures the tension between holding back and speaking up, exploring how unspoken words can weigh just as heavily as the ones that are said in anger. With its mellow groove and introspective lyrics, it reflects the unsettling moment when a conversation stops being productive and starts to unravel.

The band shares, “At what point does a discussion become an argument? We (Mustard service) call this point the conversation overtime. A point of escalation in which neither party can continue arguing in good faith and communication devolves into either a shouting match or an avoidant cold shoulder, both equally uncomfortable.”

Produced and engineered by Chad Copelin (Wilderado, Broncho, Avril Lavigne, Sasha Sloan), “Conversation Overtime” features a laid-back vibe, soothing velvet vocals, plucky guitars, and a catchy, flowing melody, resulting in a tune that glides effortlessly between easygoing charm and emotional depth.

What really stood out to us on “Conversation Overtime” was the flawless vocal performance, it was absolutely perfect .

You owe it to your music loving heart to check out, “Conversation Overtime “ from Mustard Service.

“Flow Away”, From Laura Pieri , Is The Electrifying Vibe That You Absolutely Need In Your Life

The Whole Kameese Leave a comment

Pop singer-songwriter Laura Pieri makes a bold return on April 25th with her new single, “Flown Away,” the latest chapter in her evolving sonic journey. The track arrives as part of her upcoming project, ‘Frankie On The Dancefloor,’ out May 30th.An expanded edition of her 2024 EP, ‘Frankie,’ the project will feature four fresh remixes alongside this electrifying new original track.

Though originally written for ‘Frankie,’ “Flown Away”found its own path. “For a while, she was a misfit,” Pieri reflects. “Sonically, she didn’t quite fit with the rest of the project. But stepping away gave me the space to reimagine her. Frankie’s story wasn’t over, and ‘Flown Away’ felt like the perfect way to keep her spirit alive while pushing the sound forward.”

You can listen to “Flown Away” Here

The single marks a turning point for Pieri as she leans into dance-driven influences. “I love a more traditional pop sound, but lately, I just want to move—to dance!” she shares. “Leaving this song tucked away never felt right. Now, nearly a year after ‘Frankie,’ it finally feels like the right time to share it.”

Released in May 2024, ‘Frankie‘—alongside its accompanying short film—told the story of a woman reclaiming her voice and power. The EP was born at a crossroads for Pieri, as she contemplated walking away from music altogether. What emerged instead was a project of resilience, self-discovery, and artistic revival, co-written with an all-female team and executive produced by Skyler Cocco. ‘Frankie‘ didn’t just mark a creative rebirth—it solidified Pieri’s place as an artist ready to make her voice louder than ever.

Born in São Paulo, Brazil, and relocating to the U.S. at 16, Pieri now splits her time between New York and Los Angeles. Balancing the demands of an MBA program by day and the high-energy world of pop music by night, she is the embodiment of ambition and artistry. With a sound that fuses her Brazilian roots and pop sensibilities, Pieri has captivated tastemakers and fans alike—crafting music that moves people, both emotionally and on the dancefloor.

The high level energy that is surrounded by “Flown Away” is positively breathtaking. We found ourselves fascinated with the flawless vocals that are intertwined with a memorable melody. Laura Pieri, has given us an absolutely well crafted gem with “Flown Away “

“Dead to Me” finds Avery at her most vulnerable, delivering lyrics that feel ripped straight from the pages of her diary. The track opens with wistful piano, setting the stage for her soft-spoken yet emotionally charged vocals as she grapples with the surreal feeling of losing someone who was once so close. As she explains, “‘Dead to Me’ is about a very close relationship I had with someone that I don’t know anymore. It’s about missing that person but coming to terms with how the version of them that I knew no longer exists. There’s comfort in knowing we’ve both changed, but it’s also strange and surreal to reflect on.”

With its raw confessional tone and bittersweet honesty, every word feels deeply personal yet effortlessly resonates with anyone who has faced the ache of growing apart. Co-producing the track gave Avery the freedom to shape its sound, turning nostalgia and heartache into something beautifully cathartic and universally felt.

Originally from Pennsylvania, Avery’s musical journey began at the age of 7, composing piano pieces before evolving into songwriting. Now based in Los Angeles, her signature sound—lush, melancholic piano arrangements paired with her soft, expressive vocals—has become the foundation of her artistry. Every song begins with Avery at her piano, crafting intimate, emotionally rich demos that she later refines with her trusted collaborators. Her voice, tender yet deeply evocative, breathes life into her lyrics, making each song feel like a personal confession.

Often described as a “happy girl filled with sad songs,” Avery’s music is a masterclass in storytelling, inspired by her life experiences, the world around her, and the media she consumes. With praise from tastemakers like Ones To Watch and EARMILK, and a rapidly growing fanbase that’s helped her surpass 400 million streams, Avery continues to showcase her gift for turning raw emotion into intimate, relatable, and quietly captivating songs

Today’s current musical landscape, is full of fresh and unique sounding artists. Avery Lynch, is definitely one of those artists, and “Dead To Me”, is definitely a song that you need to hear.

“Echoes Still Remain”Showcase Matthew Nowhere’s debut record, “Crystal Heights”

We were beyond delighted to check out the new single and video for “Echoes Still Remain “, from  Bay Area electro pop artist Matthew Nowhere. You can listen to “Echoes Still Remain” on Spotify Here on Apple Music Here You can also check out the video below

The stunning “Echoes Still Remain” from Matthew Nowhere , leaves a melodic imprint on your soul that is forever memorable.

Originally from the San Francisco Bay Area and currently residing in California’s Nevada County in the forests of the Sierra Mountains, Matthew Nowhere explores analogue synth-laden sounds of the 1980s with inspired reverence. Emerging from the intersection of old and new, his unique music weaves deep vibes and poetic lyrics with gritty New Wave beats.

“Echoes Still Remain”, is a moody and evocative offering. Ethereal vocals lace through a pulsating soundscape like a brooding rhythmic ghost of celebrated new wave pioneers.

Echoes Still Remain’ comes out of exploring ideas about the artistic process itself – the way in which a lonely whisper of inspiration in an artist’s mind can take flight and become realized as a concrete work. And in those rare cases, something that started as just a personal vision might even become immortal, something that lives on, becoming all these different things to different people,” says Matthew Nowhere.

On May 23, the‘Crystal Heights‘ album, now available for pre-order, will be released digitally and on Limited Edition transparent blue vinyl.

Change is never easy … However, when change is in the form of a vibrant, melodically and vocally brilliant new EP…. It is a little easier to embrace. Luke Marzec, has flawlessly delivered his magnificent new EP, “Something Good Out Of Nothing” (Part A) , and it is absolutely beautiful.

British multi-instrumentalist, producer, and singer-songwriter Luke Marzec, has been winning us over one amazing song after another, and we absolutely love it . Now Luke, gives a little more of his one of a kind artistry, with the of “Something Good Out Of Nothing” (Part A) You can listen to it on Spotify Here, Apple Music Here

This album is about holding onto the old while stepping into the new. It’s a dialogue between the warmth and authenticity of the past and the stark, often dispassionate realities of our digital age,” says , Luke.

The album is a bold reflection on nostalgia, passion, and the paradoxes of modern life and fuses vintage soul, jazz, and cutting-edge electronic elements to create a sound both timeless and contemporary. 

The honest truth is that Luke Marzec, has a timeless classic style that is omnipresent throughout “Something Good Out Of Nothing “ (Part A) . We often talk about listening to a collection of songs that are so good that, you can literally press play and walk away . This is certainly the case with “Something Good Out Of Nothing “ ( Part A)

Photo credit: Natalia-Bjerke

Arriving with the latest single “Growing Up With You,” Part A sees Marzec crafting deeply personal, emotionally rich soundscapes that examine the tension between memory and change. The track—rooted in vintage R&B textures, hypnotic grooves, and intricate instrumental layering—is a tribute to the relationships that shape us. Inspired by the windswept landscapes of Dartmoor, England, Marzec manipulates a haunting saxophone drone through his Morphagene sampler, layering it with drums, bass, and piano to evoke the bittersweetness of nostalgia and the comfort of lifelong connections. Featuring live drums from David Beauchamp (Johnny Flynn & the Sussex Wit, Jeffrey Lewis & the Junkyard, Dr. Dog), the track captures an intimate, organic feel.

The album also includes earlier single “I Can’t Get You Out of My Mind,” an electrifying fusion of funk, soul, and jazz, delving into the emotional turbulence of heartbreak. Opening with swirling synth arpeggios before dropping into a mesmerizing groove, the song showcases Marzec’s ability to blend classic songwriting with forward-thinking production.

Marzec’s music is deeply intertwined with the places that inspire him. “I’ve been away for a few months, but I always find myself drawn back to London, where my network of musicians and closest collaborators are. At the same time, I can’t stay away from Buckfastleigh, Devon,” he shares. “It was an accident that brought me to Buckfastleigh. Two years ago, I was living on a narrowboat—a fully off-grid lifestyle. It was during this time that my good friend and collaborator Theo Batchelor came to join me and ‘Red Boletes’ was written, channeling the freedom of that we were lucky to feel during that era. When I sold the boat, I needed a change, and fate landed me here, looking after my mum and stepdad’s house while they traveled. And what I found in Buckfastleigh was a rare kind of magic.”

There is so much goodness and soulfulness happening on the new EP, you can tell that this is just the beginning and that there is most definitely more coming and we can’t wait.

Part A of Something Good Out of Nothing is out now, setting the stage for an eagerly anticipated Part B release later this year

Magic Bronson Makes An Electrifying Statement With New Album , Good Dogs

The Whole Kameese Leave a comment

We first came to know Los Angeles, based indie-electronic duo, last month with their playful single, “Show My Teeth”, now the duo delivers their new album, “Good Dogs”, which is their first after a 4 year hiatus.

You can listen to “Good Dogs, Here

Known for their distinctive sound that marries electronic music with raw, emotional indie elements, Michael Nicastro and Matthew Lieberman have been captivating audiences since their formation. Their music, a vibrant mix of synth-driven melodies and bass-heavy rhythms, speaks to the heart of the urban experience, reflecting themes of anxiety, societal observations, and personal introspection.

Crafted remotely via Zoom and home studios, the album explores themes of second chances, loss, love, longing, getting older, pining for youth and trying to find a new normalcy post Covid. The title Good Dogs is a reference to Magic Bronson’s longevity and consistency as a duo over the last decade. With its high-energy sound, blending uptempo drums, throbbing bass, and dynamic vocals, Good Dogs is an anthem of bold living and motivation.

Photographer: Cameron Maier

We absolutely love the synergy generated from Magic Bronson, we especially felt this on “We Use To Settle”

Title-track “Good Dogs” is a playful dance track that speaks to the push and pull of attraction.  Lieberman explains, “The verses alternate between who’s in charge or metaphorically on the leash in the sense of who’s controlling the relationship at the moment. Musically it’s a 4 on the floor banger with a throbbing bass line and crunchy vintage synths.” 

The playful “Show My Teeth” comes to life through oscillating, kaleidoscopic synths, and a fast-paced, move-inducing beat. Known for their experimental approach, the track keeps listeners on their toes, with unexpected twists and turns, including a second verse that serves as a nod to Paul McCartney’s part in The Beatles’ “A Day In The Life.”

There is not a bad song to be found on “Good Dogs”, “Get’Em Kid”, “Industry Plant” and “Tombstone” are all standouts on “Good Dogs”

Magic Bronson, have created an absolute brilliant collection of songs on “Good Dogs” , the songs moved our soul and our feet.

The song is partly translated into Welsh by fellow Welsh singer-songwriter Al Lewis, honouring Rod’s own homeland and personal roots growing up in Wrexham, North Wales.

Speaking about the new version, Bright Light Bright Light says: “As a teen growing up in Wales, I feel so absolutely in love with Donna’s voice on ‘I Love You Always Forever’, ‘Without Love’ and ‘Silent World’ from her debut album. When I thought about ways to honour where I’m from, I thought about singing in Welsh and as a deeply 90s child, I immediately heard Donna’s voice on the song. She’s an absolute sweetheart who has kept her ethereal voice somehow exactly the same over the decades. I’m absolutely floored that this artist I’ve loved so long is helping me pay homage to my homeland. It feels so magical.”

Sometimes when you hear certain songs they just hit in a way that stop you dead in your tracks. This is absolutely the case with “Body Bag” from Nashville based alt-pop singer & songwriter Caroline Romano .

On “Body Bag,” Caroline’s dreamy indie-pop vocals float over a sea of fuzzy guitars, rousing percussion, and sparkling synths. In a similar vein to recent singles like “Doesn’t Matter” and “Used By You,” “Body Bag” is another stunning showcase of Caroline’s ability to transform her raw emotions into anthemic bliss.

“I always had this picture in my mind of who I would be at this age and what my life would look like, and I always thought it would be shiny, fun, sexy, and exhilarating,” says Caroline. “I’ve spent the last few years chasing those feelings, but ‘Body Bag’ is a peak behind the curtain at the reality of modern romance and feeling young and old at the same time. I think sonically the song has so many ups and downs, and that’s exactly how this stage of my life has felt. It’s running barefoot on the concrete, chasing something you can’t quite put your finger on, but running towards it nonetheless. That’s how I would best describe ‘Body Bag.’”

Melodically, “Strings” is a mesmerizing melody that Forziati, compliments with a flawless vocal performance.

When asked about asked “Strings”, Forziati shared,

“I absolutely love guitars, they just speak to every part of me,” Forziati says. “The sounds they create
are mesmerizing and almost put me in a trance. ‘Strings’ is about loving the sound of a guitar so much
that the person playing it captivates me and I fall in love. However, it’s manipulative because the
performer knows it and he abuses that love.”

The track also features guitar by Michael Strakus and bass by Steve Constantino, two players known in the Boston music scene for their work in Derek Smith and the Cosmic Vultures. “Strings”, was recorded, mixed, and mastered by Monty Dale at Graybeard Recording

Michelle Forziati has a style and sound that is impossible to ignore, her refreshing and soulful approach on “Strings” is pure musical perfection.

JESSIA ANNOUNCES NEW EP, “OKAY WITH EVERY PART”, OUT JULY 19 – STUNNING NEW SINGLE, “DIFFERENT PEOPLE,” OUT NOW

The Whole Kameese Leave a comment

Canadian pop singer and songwriter Jessica announces her new EP, “Okay With Every Part”, out July 19th, and shares her new single, “Different People.” You can listen to “Different People “ Here

We absolutely love the new single“Different People “ , JESSIA has one those voices that totally take your breath away and it is on full display on “Different People “

It’s been a milestone year for JESSIA who bravely transitioned to releasing music independently after parting ways with her label. Taking her future into her own hands, she presents her first independent project, Okay With Every Part. The 6-track EP includes hit songs like”The Woman You Are,” “Care About Me,” and “He’s a 10,” as well as three brand new tracks. 

JESSIA opens up about her first independent project: “Losing a label and a relationship within the span of 3 months shook me. I felt shame, rejection, anger, and frustration, but also freedom, adventure, passion, and resilience. As much as I didn’t want to, I had to learn to accept and move through these new obstacles. Each song on this project represents a pivotal moment in my journey to finding peace and confidence again. This EP represents me accepting the good and bad parts of life so that I can look back and say, I’m okay with every part.”

Today, we get our first listen of “Different People “ , one of the new tracks from the EP, is an emotionally resonant breakup anthem. “It’s about the no-contact stage of a breakup and all the intrusive thoughts that go along with it,” JESSIA explains of the relatable concept behind the song. “This song is for everyone resisting the urge to pick up the phone and text their ex. Instead of calling him, put this song on at full volume and go for a midnight drive.”

We will have “Different People “ on repeat as we wait for the new EP from JESSIA , “Okay With Every Part”

The Whole Kameese Leave a comment

We recently had the privilege to check out the new single “Everything’s Gonna Be Alright “ from Nashville-based pop singer and songwriter Leah Mason. You can listen to “Everything’s Gonna Be Alright “ Here

With haunting lyrics that reverberate with honesty and vulnerability, “Everything’s Gonna Be Alright” is undoubtedly one of Leah’s most heartfelt singles to date. A dreamscape of sparse piano and minimalist production, her utterly breathtaking vocals take center stage. It’s an evocative and spellbinding reminder of Leah’s artistic breadth. 

“Everything’s Gonna Be Alright “ from Leah Mason,might just be your new favorite song of the summer… you just don’t know it yet .

Leah Mason has crafted an absolute gem with her latest single . It is the fourth single from her forthcoming album, HEXED, out August 9th.

“I’m a pro at masking my emotions and suppressing my feelings until I can deal with them later,” Leah reveals. “But the thing about emotions is they don’t wait for the most convenient time to bubble to the surface. This song is about surrendering to your mind and acknowledging how you’re feeling. Truthfully, that’s the only way to start the healing process.”

Leah Mason has found her place in pop music and she’s here to stay. The Nashville-based singer-songwriter, who People Magazine heralded as “an undeniable talent,” has captured the hearts and ears of millions since she burst onto the scene in 2021. 

Determined to continue pushing the boundaries of her sound, Leah broke away from the familiar last year and ventured to Sweden to work with Simon Jonasson on her debut album, HEXED. After two and a half weeks, she emerged from the studio with a collection of meticulously crafted pop tracks. Across the album’s 12 tracks, she takes the intensity of young adulthood and bottles it up into a selection of universally relatable songs, ranging from tongue-in-cheek, angst-driven anthems to heartfelt musings. HEXED is without a doubt Leah Mason’s most confident, raw and real project to date.

We cannot wait to hear “HEXED” on August 9th because, we think it is going to be pretty special.

Coming off the heels of her previous single, “Denver”, which got editorial support across all DSPs, including notable Spotify playlists, New Music Friday, Next Gen Singer-Songwriters, and Created by Women, Liv Miraldi returns with her second single “Friend of the Family”. Arguably, Liv Miraldi‘s best storytelling yet, “Friend of the Family,” is a haunting open letter to a parent having an affair, written from the daughter’s point of view. 

Liv comments, “Friend of the Family’ was something I was afraid to talk about, so I knew I had to write it. I gave myself the space to feel the full range of my emotions. The song details the complexity of infidelity through the daughter’s point of view. This sad indie bop is an instant tear jerker that is sure to bring the feels.”

He honed his acting chops in local community theater before getting his big break in 2017 on Disney Channel’s Andi Mack. In the years since, the now 21-year-old Asher has continued to come into his own as an all-around creative force. He has starred in films like Shazam!, Shazam! Fury of Gods, On Fire, and Darby and the Dead (which featured his original song, “One on One”), and has released a number of hit singles.

His 2019 collaboration with Wiz Khalifa, “One Thought Away,” became the number one trending YouTube video for 3 days, and has amassed over 12 million streams to date. He followed up the release of “One Thought Away” with singles like “Chills,” “All Day,” and “Guilty,” under the supervision of music legend LA Reid and his Hitco record label.

The Whole Kameese Leave a comment

We recently had the opportunity to check out the latest single “Nowhere” from from NY confessional gritty alt pop artist Middle Part.

You can listen to “Nowhere” on Spotify Here and on Apple Music Here

“Nowhere” is “a refrain from all the anger that populates a lot of the record. It’s a confession of wanting to choose self-acceptance over continuously worrying about what others may think. Appreciating the present moment rather than placing oneself at the center of the universe is the key theme,” proclaims the artist.

There is real hypnotic vibe with “Nowhere” Middle Part offers up a haunting but memorable melody that stays with you .

Nowhere” is off of his highly anticipated debut album Disruptor which is set for release next year.

Middle Part – Andy Selkōw’s artist moniker – is hellbent on pouring his heart out and proving that earnest emotion and endless hooks can coexist within the distorted landscape of his nostalgic sound. Drawing inspiration from the late ’90s and early 2000s, Selkōw’s unique brand of unconventional pop music pays homage to the era, resonating with the confessional lyrical prowess of artists like Alanis Morisette, Third Eye Blind, and Michelle Branch. Selkōw, confides, “I’m so sensitive and hate to show it, but it just bleeds through all of my music.”

What really hooks you in with the music of Middle Part, is that you feel the familiarity in the music however, like in the case of “Nowhere” there is this fresh new approach that really gets your attention.

We can’t wait for more music…

New Album “Underwater” via Wiretap Records out March 3rd

Where we’re from “Wicked” is deemed to mean that something is really good .

The same can be said for Salt Lake City pop punk trio Wicked Bears and their new single and video “Hypothetically” both are wicked good.

You can listen to “Hypothetically “ on Spotify Here and on Apple Music Here you can also check out the video below.

The band says, “”Hypothetically is not a love song. It is about the perils of love and the hope of love, but it’s not a love song. If, hypothetically, Hypothetically were a love song, it would probably closely resemble this song, but again, it’s not. If Hypothetically were a love song, it would be complicated like love, and moody and sentimental like love, which it is. But it’s not a love song, so don’t even think about it!”

“Hypothetically “ is a perfectly written pop punk gem that we have been running on repeat in the office . It’s the perfect song to hold us over till “Underwater” comes out March 3rd.

You can catch Wicked Bears on tour with The Littlest Man Band and Louser! See dates below

3/02 – Anaheim, CA @ House of Blues Anaheim

You can listen to the brand new single “Flowers on Spotify and Apple Music

We are so excited that alt pop duo joan today announce details of their long awaited debut album superglue, out April 19th via Photo Finish Records. The twelve-track full length is over three years in the making, following their beloved EPs portra, cloudy, hi and bye, and is an existential journey influenced by the duo’s recent transition into fatherhood.

joan explain: “It’s totally wrecked our world and we both have been going through a lot of the same growth that comes alongside being a parent. It’s changed our whole process of writing, and way more than just like having a kid and making every song about them. It’s made us think more about who we are as people, what we want to put into the world and what we want to get out of it, just reflecting on life way more than I think we ever have. This album as a whole is about the past and the present happening at the same time, it’s about dreams for the future and hoping for a better tomorrow but missing yesterday. It’s by far the best and most meaningful music we’ve ever made, it has something for everyone, and we hope it means something to you too.”

To accompany the news they’ve also shared the record’s second single and video ‘flowers’, the last song joan wrote for the album which became one of their personal favorites. The highly emotive and nostalgic narrative discusses how time is fleeting and how people grow and change, paired with wistful acoustic guitar riffs under cinematic synths and heartfelt melodies. The accompanying video shows captures joan’s riveting performance against bright hues of yellow.

You can check out the video for “Flowers” below

The band share “I remember running around the streets of my best friend’s neighborhood after midnight, skipping around from friend to friends house. I remember rushing to my friend’s house after school to rehearse our new songs in his garage. I remember driving around town after the sun went down just because we could. you make so many memories in those formative years. You never think to yourself, “this won’t last forever”. but then you grow. It happens slow – years go by, seasons change. That’s just life.
