New York’s Junket Drops New Single ‘MakeWaves’

Junket's rebirth continues with their third single new song of 2021. As of today, 'MakeWaves' is available everywhere you like to listen to music. The track was produced by Sean-Paul Pillsworth at upstate NY's Nada Recording Studios. The Junket lineup consists of Chris Wicher (vocals), Mike Miller (guitar), Kyle Hallenbeck (bass) and Chad Babcock (drums). Wicher stated recently that the song is about a positive catalyst for change. This is a tune about hitting that low point in your life and then someone or something is introduced, totally changes your point of view, and helps you right the ship. In this case, it’s a girl, but it could literally be anything that has a positive impact.-Wicher The band just recently started playing shows again so keep your eyes peeled for more con...

Em Beihold Released “Groundhog Day” At The Moment We Needed It Most

Summer has begun and for most of us recent graduates, a looming question of “what now?” comes to the surface. Em Beihold, a 22-year-old singer-songwriter, is able to relate to every single person feeling stuck after this enormous change in their lives through her on-point lyricism and catchymelodies. She experienced tremendous success after her debut EP release, which included a song titled “Not Who We Were”, which went on to be featured in the indie film I’m Not Here starring the talented J.K. Simmons. Em continued to grow and attract many listeners as she released “City of Angels” in July 2020, which went viral on TikTok. Her music is now receiving millions of streams and a little over 480K listeners each month. Her most recent single, “Groundhog Day”, exploded after she posted the f...

‘Quantum Physics’ Is An Ode To Potential Love And All That Comes With It

If falling in love was painless and easy, then we would let ourselves do it more. Ruby Waters released her album “If It Comes Down to It” in 2020, featuring her most-streamed song “Quantum Physics” and many other gems. With over 210,000 monthly listeners, Ruby is definitely an artist to keep an eye on. Her music is streaming over 3 million on Spotify and her music videos are story-driven and mesmerizing. “Quantum Physics” is a story about letting love in and feeling all of the pain and fear that comes with it. Through beautiful lyricism, Ruby conveys the good and bad emotions that arise from being vulnerable and open to another. Her lyrics are somewhat abstract in nature and in combination with her melodic choices go straight into the listener’s heart. This is the type of single that y...

Tribeca 2021: “Roadrunner: A Film About Anthony Bourdain” (Review)

Anthony Bourdain rose to fame after his bestselling book "Kitchen Confidential: Adventures in the Culinary Underbelly" was released in 2000. By that point, he had already spent over two decades working in restaurants all over New York City. As a celebrity chef he was reluctant, but it did open the door to opportunities he previously could have only dreamed of. News of his death by suicide in early June of 2018 was simply shocking and still hard to fathom. No matter how famous or how rich you become, addiction and depression can feel insurmountable. Director Morgan Neville ("20 Feet From Stardom," "Won't You Be My Neighbor?") never had a chance to meet Bourdain. When this project was conceived, the one thing that made it simultaneously easy and overwhelming to tackle was the fac...

20 Years Of Stone Temple Pilots Shangri-La Dee Da

Stone Temple Pilots' fifth studio album and final before their first breakup was released 20 years ago. Shangri-La Dee Da would also be the bands' final work with renowned producer Brendan O'Brien. Released on June 19, 2001, it would go on to be certified as gold with sales of over 500,000 copies. The lead single 'Days of the Week' had a solid run at radio. However, the song was rarely heard as part of their live set. 'Hollywood Bitch' was the follow up and while it didn't get as much airplay, found it's way into the bands live performances with much greater frequency. The Break-up & Reunion Two short years after the release of Shangri-La Dee Da the band went their separate ways. It wasn't until 2008 the band would reunite and release any new material. The result was a self ...

Rescheduled Dropkick Murphys/Rancid Tour Dates Released

Two punk rock icons are teaming up for an epic jaunt across the country. Dropkick Murphys and Rancid will embark on the Boston to Berkeley II tour this August. The co-headlining run was supposed to take place last year but the world stood still in the face of the pandemic. Tickets are on sale Friday and will surely sell out across the country. Both Dropkick Murphys and Rancid last toured together in 2017 and will be taking The Bronx on the road with them this time around. And if you're going to complain that the tour is called Boston to Berkeley but they don't have any dates in either of those two markets specifically, Dropkick Murphy's would like to clear that up. …yeah we know the tour doesn’t play in Boston or Berkeley specifically but this is part 2 of the tour and those ar...
