Jukebox The Ghost Collab w/Andrew McMahon On New Single “Wasted”

Piano pop trio Jukebox the Ghost has released a new single "Wasted". The uptempo song features prolific singer/songwriter Andrew McMahon. He not only composed but sings on the track too.

Wilderado Announce Summer Tour With Mt. Joy

Dates are their current tour are selling out. Their new single "Head Right" is heating up on radio stations. And they've just announced a summer tour with Mt. Joy.

The BRKN Drop New Music Video For The Infectious “Not The Same”

Denver-based indie rockers The BRKN are back with a new single and music video. "Not The Same" will reel you in on the first listen. The accompanying music video is a performance piece and the vibe reminds me of The 1975 circa 2013. The band consists of Jacob Cade on vocals and guitar. Mike Bokenkamp and MJ Younkers hold down the rhythm section on drums and bass, respectively. They've just kicked off one of their biggest tours to date with The Dangerous Summer.

Cowboy Junkies are pulling out all the stops for their new album. They're reinterpreting classics from artists like Neil Young, The Cure, David Bowie, and others for "Songs of the Recollection".
