Post-Punk Band SMALL PLANETS Release Music Video/EP In Aid Of Homeless Crisis In LA

DT: MARCH 27, 2020

FM: KELLY WALSH

POST-PUNK BAND SMALL PLANETS

SHARE NEW MUSIC VIDEO IN AID OF HOMELESS CRISIS IN LOS ANGELES

Los Angeles-based post-punk quintet SMALL PLANETS last winter released their self-titled debut album which was mastered by the multi-Grammy Award-winning engineer Andy Walter (David Bowie, The Who, The Cure) at the legendary Abbey Road studios in London, UK. Yesterday, March 26, the band partnered with Buzzbands LA–which describe them as “propulsive rockers (think Interpol) with dark, dreamier tracks”–to announce the release of a digital EP of the album’s track “E” today, March 27, and premiere the touching music video for the remixed version “E (Shhadows Mix)” seen below.

The music video for “E (Shhadows Mix)” raises awareness to the homeless crisis plaguing Los Angeles. To combat this issue, 5% of all sales from E will be donated to The Sidewalk Project, a non-profit homeless organization in Los Angeles who use art, music and film to create community and wellness for those who live outdoors. The band will also match the total amount raised over 90 days.

The EP also includes the previously unheard song “Winter” which alongside the remix was mastered by drummer Simon Scott of Slowdive. Their show at Ace Theater in Los Angeles in 2015 inspired the formation of SMALL PLANETS.

Taking their cue from iconic bands such as Interpol, Joy Division and The Cure, SMALL PLANETS have developed an instantly recognizable sound by combining their distinctive brand of darkened post-punk with striking vocals from lead vocalist Jessica Hernandez.

“E is truly about taking ownership of your next steps and not letting past mistakes define your future,” remarks guitarist Jeff Love. “It’s literally all about hope, which I feel ties well into the overall theme of this release-helping and raising awareness to the homeless crisis that Los Angeles is currently facing.”

SMALL PLANETS will also be taking donation and raising funds at their upcoming EP release show at Highland Park Bowl, which has been postponed until further notice due to the safety and concerns regarding the spread of the coronavirus.

Newly Formed Global Covid-19 Relief Coalition (GCRC) Announces Initiatives

DATE: MARCH 20, 2020

GLOBAL COVID-19 RELIEF COALITION

TO BRING TOGETHER TOP SCIENTISTS, INNOVATORS,

ENTREPRENEURS AND GOVERNMENTS

TO CREATE IMPACTFUL SOLUTIONS AND DEPLOY THEM

Dr. Michael Snyder says:

“We Are Using 14th Century Methods to Deal with a 21^st Century Problem.”

The Global COVID-19 Relief Coalition (GCRC)–a registered 501c3 non-profit in partnership with NEXUS, a leading global network of next-gen philanthropists, impact investors, and social entrepreneurs–are calling on the world to come together around one united effort to alleviate COVID-19. They are scientists, engineers, philanthropists, and citizen activists uniting to end the COVID-19 crisis. GCRC is galvanizing support from some of the top universities in the country, as well as some of the biggest corporations, philanthropists, and celebrities to create impactful solutions for the world.

GCRC believe that if they can unite the global COVID-19 efforts, they will have the opportunity to leverage the world’s resources to make a more impactful change.

The Global COVID-19 Relief Coalition has two ongoing initiatives:

●Global Solutions Effort—empowering the most creative solutions with resources, mentors, and the tools to deploy

●LiveAid-style Virtual Concert—hosting a virtual “Live Aid” relief concert (details of which will be announced soon)

“Let’s come together to harness the best of our 21^st century technologies to deal with our 21^st century problem” says Michael Snyder, PhD, Chair of Genetics, Stanford University,Stanford W. Ascherman Professor and Chair, Department of Genetics, Director, Center for Genomics and Personalized Medicine, and advisor to GCRC.

Snyder has been at the forefront of Precision Health as the inventor of many widely adopted omics technologies, a member of ENCODE, and the first to publish on using wearable biosensors for medical purposes. Snyder is working to detecting diseases like COVID-19 before symptoms appear using scalable approaches like consumer wearable devices (e.g. Fitbit, Apple iWatch, Oura). In the long term, he and the researchers on his team are working to transform the healthcare system to keep people healthy rather than treating them when they get sick.

This is an open source, community effort. Please join GCRC.

SOULFUL AND FEARLESS AMERICANA/COUNTRY-ROCK ARTIST

HEATHER ANNE LOMAX

SHARES “BETTER LUCK” MUSIC VIDEO

Soulful and fearless Americana/country-rock artist HEATHER ANNE LOMAX (formerly known as Michael-Ann) has shared the electrifying and colorful music video for her single “Better Luck” after it was premiered via Memphis-based DittyTV last Monday, March 16 here.

The uplifting self-empowerment manifesto “Better Luck” will be featured on the Los Angeles-based singer, songwriter and guitarist’s new album ALL THIS TIME (due May 1) and was recorded with the sonics of Elvis Presley’s “Sun Sessions” and the American Sound Studios “From Elvis In Memphis” in mind.

The “Better Luck” track, with its captivatingly insistent rhythm, soaring fiddle work and vocal chants, was originally premiered via American Songwriter (2/4/2020). Senior Editor Paul Zollo described HEATHER as: “One of the most expressive vocalists around, she combines the sweet folky purity of Joan Baez with the rocking soul of Janis Joplin with hints of Patsy Cline and Linda Ronstadt.” “Better Luck” was also picked by The Alternate Root as one of “The Top Ten Songs of the Week” (2/19/2020).

Earlier this year, HEATHER brought her fiery energetic live show to The Canyon Club in Santa Clarita to open for WAR. No stranger to the stage, she has previously opened shows across the country for acts such as Wynonna and The Big Noise, Lee Ann Womack, Blake Shelton, Kenny Rogers, Jeff Bridges, John Hiatt, Richie Furay, Don McLean, Judy Collins, Marshall Tucker Band, Joan Osborne, Melanie and Blood Sweat & Tears.

Due to the impact of the coronavirus, HEATHER has postponed her record release show originally scheduled at Three Clubs in Hollywood on Sunday, April 26 until further notice.

ALL THIS TIME features 11 original tracks produced and mixed by Jason Hiller and mastered at Lurssen Mastering by Reuben Cohen and Gavin Lurssen. HEATHER enlisted an all-star team of renowned musicians to guest on the album including Zachary Ross, Ty Bailie, Ben Peeler-Weissenborn, Aubrey Richmond, David Goodstein, Chris Joyner, Rob Humphreys, Rosa Pullman-Wurlitzer, Maesa Pullman, Ronee Martin, John “JT” Thomas, and Danielle Fife.

HEATHER‘s last record, Heavy Load (2014), under her previous name Michael-Ann, was voted one of the Top 10 Americana Records from Los Angeles by Turnstyle, Junkpiled Roots Music Magazine and won Robert Oermann‘s ‘DisCovery of the Week Award‘ by Music Row magazine in Nashville.

SOPHOMORE ALBUM
‘SUNSHINE’

DUE MAY 8 VIA STEELHORSE ENTERTAINMENT

THE BLACK MOODS Lineup {L-R}: Jordan Hoffman (bass), Josh Kennedy (vocals, guitar), Chico Diaz (drums); Photo credit: Jim Louvau)

“Woke up with my boots still on
Saw the cruel sunshine and that she was gone, It was a long night
It was a long night
Took a sip and I burnt my tongue
Scanned the dial there’s nothing but EDM on the radio
On the radio
With my back to the wall, I feel a smile coming on”

–from “Throwing Shade”

Arizona-based trio THE BLACK MOODS are a “straight up, loud and proud rock and roll band” as noted by Houston Press (4/17/19) who deliver a fresh take on ageless guitar-driven rock & roll on their sophomore album SUNSHINE due May 8 via Steelhorse Entertainment. The band released a new anthemic track “Throwing Shade” across all digital platforms on Friday, March 20, which follows three previously shared singles all of which debuted in the Mainstream Rock charts including “Bella Donna” and “Whatcha Got” in the Top 40 and “Bad News” in the Top 30.

Stream “Throwing Shade” at one of the below platforms:

Spotify – https://open.spotify.com/track/6PJ91BQpGqiYkm8qQE6dUS

Apple Music – https://apple.co/2WC9uGx

YouTube – https://youtu.be/chGlHkzhtp8

Amazon Music – https://amzn.to/2Jlu9XT

SUNSHINE was recorded with Grammy Award-winning producer Johnny Karkazis and features eight tracks filled with electric guitar, percussive stomp, and anthemic hooks. Karkazis travelled to THE BLACK MOODS‘ Phoenix rehearsal space to set up a makeshift studio in order to capture the spirit of their zealous live show which Arizona Republic lauds as “the very definition of ‘swagger’.” (4/20/2016)

Following the release of their 2016 debut album Medicine (Another Century), THE BLACK MOODS won over fans across the U.S. with relentless touring alongside acts including Doors‘ Robbie Krieger, Shinedown, Jane’s Addiction, Whitesnake, Adelitas Way, Otherwise and many more. The band were scheduled to be on tour this Spring with Otherwise, but due to the spread of coronavirus all dates have been postponed. Their next scheduled appearance will be at Epicenter Festival in May, unless otherwise noted.

IN HEARTS WAKE Release First New Music In Three Years With Environmentally-Charged Single “Worldwide Suicide”

DT: MARCH 17, 2020

FM: KELLY WALSH

IN HEARTS WAKE

RELEASE FIRST NEW MUSIC IN THREE YEARS WITH

INTENSE VIDEO FOR
“WORLDWIDE SUICIDE”

BAND TO PLANT 1 TREE FOR EVERY 1K VIEWS

Photo Credit: Daniel Anderson

“…environmentally charged music aimed at creating awareness around important issues. It’s a mantra that does great credit to the group’s level of commitment to the state of our world.”
– The Brag Media (Australia)

“Each step the band has taken, whether a release of a new album or novel tour expedition, has raised awareness toward the environment and it is utterly praiseworthy their commitment to the insight into our world’s nature.”

–Heavy Mag (Australia)

Australian metalcore outfit and environmental awareness harbingers IN HEARTS WAKE are back with their first new music in three years. Known for inspiring change by using social/environmental justice and self-accountability as core themes throughout their lyrics, IN HEARTS WAKE‘s new single “Worldwide Suicide” is their most direct and impassioned statement yet. The jarring video (seen below) begins with the intro segment “Crisis” which features a sample of Greta Thunberg‘s address at the climate strike in NYC last year recorded by vocalist/frontman JAKE TAYLOR. The video depicts a house on fire with each room representing an ecosystem, and in those rooms a human from every stage of life is under serious threat causing the survival of humanity to face its greatest challenge yet–overcoming the inertia and dysfunction within ourselves to affect real change. Its message of “ecocide is suicide” is a call for positive action and will see the band plant one tree for every 1,000 views it receives.

“The Antarctic has reached an all-time high temperature of 20.7°C,” says TAYLOR. “The Australian bushfires have burned over 12 million hectares of land, killing over 1 billion animals. The climate crisis is pounding on our door and we need to take action while there is still a window to turn it around. It’s time for profound systemic change as individuals and as a community. Last year I attended the NYC Climate strike and half a million passionate people showed up led by Greta Thunberg. It was the first time in a while that I felt so much hope for the future. When we gathered at Battery Park I felt inspired to pull out my voice recorder. Greta delivered an incredible speech. Some of the elders around me likened it to the time they heard Martin Luther King deliver his ‘I have a dream’ speech in the 60’s. One week later our track ‘Crisis’ was born.”

“We are aware that the ‘Worldwide Suicide’ video is confrontational,” continues TAYLOR. “We created this not to shock or cause despair but to incite positive action. In the spirit of this, the band has committed to plant 1 tree for every 1K views, restoring part of a vital ecosystem with the hope that every viewer and their descendants will one day enjoy its benefits.”

“Music is both our art and our platform. I feel we have a responsibility as artists to challenge the status quo. What challenges has the potential to create change. If we can change, then we can evolve.”

Stream/download “Worldwide Suicide” here: https://unfd.lnk.to/WorldwideSuicide

One of Australia’s leading heavy music acts, five-piece metalcore fellowship IN HEARTS WAKE released their debut album Divination in 2012. They toured relentlessly, spreading their unique sound and building a fiercely loyal following along the way. Their previous three albums–Earthwalker(2014), Skydancer (2015) and Ark (2016)–debuted in the Top 5 of the ARIA charts, opening doors for the band around the world as they toured North America, Europe and Asia extensively, before taking 18 months off the road to restore and re-energize. Back in full force, the band were scheduled to perform Main Stage at Download Festival (AUS) but it was recently cancelled due to the outbreak of the coronavirus.

ANNOUNCES APRIL TOUR DATES OPENING FOR MAGGIE ROSE

Photo Credit: Ford Fairchild

Soulful indie folk/Americana artist DYLAN HARTIGAN, a New Jersey-bred singer, songwriter and guitarist, will join esteemed rock n soul artist Maggie Rose for a handful of shows this April on the East Coast (itinerary below). Rose co-produced DYLAN‘s upcoming album alongside Grammy nominated producer Bobby Holland (ZZ Ward, Kesha, Drake White) in Nashville. DYLAN will reveal the first new music from his full-length album, due out later this year, on Friday, April 3 with the achingly heartfelt single “My Island.” Meanwhile, DYLAN is currently performing a series of intimate, secret gigs hosted by Sofar Sounds throughout March. He will be donating 50% of profits made from these shows to aid Nashville tornado relief efforts.

DYLAN will appear in support of Maggie Rose and Them Vibes at the following shows:

Wednesday, April 8 – Philadelphia, PA @ World Café Live

Thursday, April 9 – Asbury Park, NJ @ Asbury Lanes

Friday, April 10 – Brooklyn, NY @ Knitting Factory

“The tour with Maggie is going to be bomb,” says DYLAN. “The drive is born into us and not manufactured or molded to fit an archetype, we both get ‘it.’ That realness and raw energy is not something you can fake during a live performance.” He adds, “People should come if they want to smile and really want to feel a sense of family and community. We’ve built a home with our music and we love and support each other.”

DYLAN may appear familiar to some from his starring role in the 2012 coming-of-age film Funeral Kings, acting roles in TV shows “Law and Order” and “The Black Donnellys,” and more recently, his Season 14 performances as a finalist in 2018 on NBC‘s “The Voice,” earning praise from such national outlets as the Hollywood Reporter which described him as “soulful and charming [with] impressive range.” Notably, “The Voice” judge Kelly Clarkson invited DYLAN to perform onstage during her “Meaning of Life” tour date on March 9, 2019 at PPL Center in Allentown, PA. Following the show, DYLAN was introduced to Maggie Rose and her manager.

Pre-save “My Island” on all digital streaming platforms here and head over to American Songwriter on Thursday, April 2 to hear an exclusive advance listen to the single.

Nordic Folk Band WARDRUNA Share ‘Kvitravn’ Track List + Translations

DT: MARCH 9, 2020

FR: KELLY WALSH

WARDRUNA

FOUNDER/COMPOSER EINAR SELVIK
SHARES TRACK LIST AND TRANSLATIONS

FOR ‘KVITRAVN,’
DISCUSSES ALBUM’S LYRICAL NODS TO OLD NORSE POETRY

Traditional Norwegian folk outfit WARDRUNA have transcended genres, cultures and language barriers worldwide with their musical ode to ancient Nordic traditions with a #1 Billboard World Music album (2016), massive music contributions to the History Channel’s “Vikings” and a 2018 sold-out headlining show at Red Rocks Amphitheatre in Colorado. The band will continue to integrate the past in a modern way with their upcoming fifth full-length album KVITRAVN due June 5 via BY NORSE MUSIC (U.S.) and SONY MUSIC / COLUMBIA RECORDS (worldwide excl. U.S.).

Following the release of the album’s debut single “Grá“-translating to ‘grey’ in English-and its transcendent music video which can be seen here, founder/composer EINAR SELVIK (ex-Gorgoroth) has revealed KVITRAVN‘s track listing along with translations for each of the track’s titles.

“For those who want to search deeper into our songs, the upcoming album will contain complete lyrics along with English translations,” reveals EINAR. “When revealing the track list, it also makes sense to show the translations of the titles, so one potentially gets a better idea of the album’s content.”

KVITRAVN‘s track listing with translations is as follows:

1. “Synkverv” (Turn-sight)

2. “Kvitravn” (White Raven)

3. “Skugge” (Shadow)

4. “Grá” (Grey)

5. “Fylgjutal” (Speech of the Fetch)

6. “Munin” (Memory)

7. “Kvit hjort” (White Stag)

8. “Viseveiding” (Song-hunting)

9. “Ni” (Nine)

10. “Vindavlarljod” (Song of the wind-bred)

11. “Andvevarljod” (Song of the Spirit-weavers)

EINAR adds: “The power of words, poetry and abstract thinking as well as the ability to master them in various forms was highly regarded in the oral societies of the past. It is a trait that we feel should not be forgotten. Our lyrics are therefore an important layer to the music.”

“Whether the given song is about traditions, spirituality, philosophy or other esoteric subjects, there should always be a potential of learning something,” he explains. “Knowledge, yet knowledge that is not served as overly explained truths, but rather in abstract images and hints that inspire the listener to seek their own understanding–much like the way Old Norse poetry deals with esoteric matters.”

KVITRAVN cover artwork

KVITRAVN is available for pre-order digitally at https://wardruna.lnk.to/Kvitravn_Album or physically on CD and/or 180-gram 2LP gatefold vinyl (available in black or limited edition white [1,000 copies total worldwide] variant) at https://wardruna.aisamerch.com/.

WARDRUNA will bring their live experience to audiences across North America this fall on a solo headlining tour. Tickets are on sale now and dates can be found listed below.

“This is standing ovation stuff and in this out of control world of all surface and no depth Wardruna’s stunning, emotive and highly original music has struck a powerful nerve with people seeking more from their culture.”

TO RELEASE “FUEL” THIS FRIDAY, MARCH 6,

WITH THE ALBUM DUE OUT MAY 8

MAJOR NORTH AMERICAN TOUR

SET FOR THE SPRING AND SUMMER

TOMMY EMMANUEL, the acclaimed and Grammy-nominated acoustic guitarist, singer and songwriter, will release a newly recorded career-spanning double album on May 8, THE BEST OF TOMMYSONGS, via CGP Sounds/Cruzen Street Records. TOMMY has already shared the video for the album’s first single, “Fuel,” available this Friday, March 6. Guitar Player magazine premiered the “Fuel” video this past Wednesday.

Joshua Britt and Neilson Hubbard with Neighborhoods Apart Productions directed and edited the “Fuel” video, which was shot in a rural old home in Franklin, KY. Some of the footage was shot with TOMMY‘s own I-Phone as he was traveling throughout Asia. Says TOMMY about writing the song:

“I boarded a train in Paris, France to ride the rails to Cologne, Germany. Looking out the window, I saw a billboard for ‘Harry Potter World,’ that set me in motion. I got my guitar out and started looking for cinematic chords and ideas. Three hours later, I had the entire song written and was practicing it up. I had no title at that stage and when I played it for a friend he asked “what’s fueling this emotion?” Immediately I reacted, “You just gave me the title, ‘Fuel’! Even though there’s time changes and odd bars in the song, you can actually tap time straight through it. In my own way, this is a small attempt at paying homage to Mason Williams, the brilliant composer of ‘Classical Gas.'”

THE BEST OF TOMMYSONGS is a double album that features some of Tommy Emmanuel’s best original songs. Emmanuel solely wrote, produced, and recorded all the tracks on this record. Emmanuel has been playing some of these songs for over 30 years, and they have evolved over time. He wanted to rerecord them to suite the modern arrangements and to make them sound bigger than ever. The album features some of EMMANUEL‘s most well-known works such as “Angelina,” “Lewis & Clark,” and “It’s Never Too Late” along with fan favorites such as “Mombasa” and “Train to Dusseldorf.” It also has 5 brand new songs including the heart-thumping “Fuel” and the beautifully melodic “Song For A Rainy Morning.” Watch the album trailer here which focuses on TOMMY‘s unique ability to tell stories without words: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-SOQEMWYAQ4&feature=youtu.be

All the songs on the album written, performed, and produced by TOMMY EMMANUEL.

It was engineered by Rory Rositas and Brad Benge at OmniSound in Nashville; mixed by Marc DeSisto and TOMMY EMMANUEL at Luke’s Room Studio in Los Angeles; and mastered by Marc DeSisto at Luke’s Room Studio in Los Angeles.

ABOUT TOMMY EMMANUEL:

TOMMY EMMANUEL has achieved enough musical milestones to satisfy several lifetimes. At the age of six, he was touring regional Australia with his family band. By 30, he was a rock n’ roll lead guitarist burning up stadiums in Europe. At 44, he became one of five people ever named a Certified Guitar Player by his idol, music icon Chet Atkins. Today, he plays hundreds of sold-out shows every year from Nashville to Sydney to London. He’s piled up numerous accolades, including two Grammy Award nominations, two ARIA Awards from the Australian Recording Industry Association (the Aussie equivalent of the Recording Academy) and repeated honors in the Guitar Player magazine reader’s poll including a cover story for their August 2017 issue. A noted fingerstyle guitarist, EMMANUEL frequently threads three different parts simultaneously into his material, operating as a one-man band who handles the melody, the supporting chords and the bass all at once. His talents, which translate in any language, carry him to the far corners of the globe, but EMMANUEL never plays the same show twice, and he improvises big chunks of every date. That leaves him open to those technical imperfections, though they also provide some of the humanity to an other-worldly talent.
