Some cool news from the equally cool Ryan Hamilton!
Critically acclaimed TX-based, singer-songwriter Ryan Hamilton has announced a listening party, & acoustic performance of his next single “A$$hole.” The event– dubbed the ‘A$$hole Celebration’ –will take place onFebruary 13th at 3pm CST via StageIt, one day before the track officially hits streaming sites on Valentine’s Day
Ryn says, “I hope you’ll join me! Come celebrate the release of my new single, “A$$hoIe”! Not only will you get an exclusive early preview of the new song, listening party style, but I’ll also be chatting, & taking requests to play acoustic from my home studio! Fun!”
We recently checked out Brooklyn DIY Punk band Thick and their new track Love You Forever. The track is the first song released by the band since their critically acclaimed debut album 5 Years Behind (2020). Referring to the track as their “first honest love song,” the band originally wrote the song as a gift for a friend’s wedding this past year. “It’s about unconditional love and getting through the hard times — knowing that love transcends all of life’s chapters,” adds THICK. “The song is meant to encapsulate the idea of loving your partners, your friends, and most of all loving yourself.“
It’s great catchy tune that also comes with a fun video directed by Aimee Kuge . If you like zombies this is the video for you
