Brutal Pop Artist SUN Releases Memorable New Single and Video

Franco-German pop artist SUN has created a unique vibe that is all her own. Her brand of 'brutal pop' is on display in her new song and video, "John & I (Money)". SUN's blending of pop music with hard rock and metal has garnered critical acclaim and mass appeal. The talented singer, songwriter, guitarist, and actress is telling a story on the new track and she had this to say about the material. "John & I (Money)" is a cynical and sassy rock song about the twisted relationship of a rich couple (the woman's point of view). After a poppy verse with a sassy riff, cute melody and cynical lyrics the chorus comes in like a hardcore tornado with brutal honesty and aggressive screams like the meltdown of a rich karen! When I wrote the song I imagined a rich housewife loosing ...

Punk Rock Supergroup Fire Sale Releases New 2-Song Single

Punk rock supergroup Fire Sale is back with a new 2-song single. With "A Fools Errand" and "We Dance For Sorrow" the band delivers two memorable jams with killer harmonies and melodic hooks. Fire Sale is made up of Matt Riddle (Face to Face/No Use For A Name), Chris Swinney (The Ataris), Pedro Aida (Ann Beretta) along with Matt Morris. The new material was recorded at The Blastroom which is owned by Bill Stevenson of The Descendents. I wrote the music to this song while I was extremely ill about 10-12 years ago. The bassline came about by testing myself, to see if I could still play at all. It has a weird picking style, kind of a banjo-ish thing. Thumb and first two fingers. It’s a pretty simple chord progression, but when I showed the guys, they seemed to really like it. Pedro wr...
