How To Pronounce Måneskin Without Embarrassing Yourself

While the band has been around the block a few times, Måneskin has been all the rage over the last few years. The question is, as a newer fan, how can I say the band's name without making a total fool of myself? Here's how to pronounce Måneskin. Thankfully, a super fan stitched together interview footage of all the times they've had to explain their origin story. From what we're seeing (so far) they haven't gotten too annoyed at having to explain how they got their name. Comprised of Damiano David (vocals), Victoria de Angelis (bass), Thomas Raggi (guitar), and Ethan Torchio (drums), Måneskin first formed while in high school in Italy. They would go on to perform on the Italian version of the popular talent show X Factor. Spoiler alert: they placed second. From there they released ...

Introducing The Highly Anticipated Release “something to live for” From Rising Star Ethan Jewell

Whether we believe it or not, we are not alone in our struggles. Life can get so busy, so confusing. We get lost in figuring out who we are and what we want to accomplish.

The point is that we live through them and we grow through them by connecting with others and with ourselves, by listening and supporting others' art, and by creating our own. We give to the world what we would like to receive back, and this is how we get through the unknown. Ethan Jewell is a remarkable and unique artist that shares his deepest thoughts with the world in hopes that those listening can feel safe doing the same.

Are You Ready to Catch ‘The Feels’? KID BRUNSWICK’s Newest Music Video is Here.

After weeks of coyly teasing fans with behind-the-scenes sneak peeks on social media, KID BRUNSWICK released the music video for “The Feel” today. Quirky and fun, the video is pure satire and provides commentary on modern dating culture without taking itself too seriously. Check it out– https://youtu.be/u7i4LLA6agc Over the course of the video, you see the rise and fall of a relationship in four minutes – all based on unspoken impressions and impulses. It ends just as quickly as it starts. While it’s a direct reference to reality shows like The Bachelorette and Love Island, the chaos depicted can be directly applied to the “regular” dating scene as well. “Ever since I was young, I was intrinsically unhappy with who I was. I didn't understand why I felt that wa...

Interview: Phoebe Katis Releases New Music Video For “Never Be A Cool Girl”

Fresh off her first headline show in New York City, talented singer/songwriter Phoebe Katis has just released a new music video for her latest single "Never Be A Cool Girl". She took an interesting approach in writing the song, compiling the lyrics first and then adding different homegrown percussion instruments to fill out the quirky groove. As far as some insight into the meaning behind "Never Be A Cool Girl", she had this to say, "I wanted to voice being over the facade of 'playing it cool' during the first stages of a relationship, be that romantic or just meeting people you vibe with." Phoebe recently moved from London to Brooklyn, more on that below. She flew to Los Angeles from New York in July to film the video. However, prior to the cross-country trip, the project was map...

Coheed and Cambria Release Music Video For Latest Single “Shoulders”

Coheed and Cambria come out of the gate hard on their latest single 'Shoulders'. The track, released back in July, gets the produced music video treatment and it was worth the wait. If you've ever seen a Coheed video, you may recognize the theme. Band rocks out, weird stuff happens all around them. But it's a formula that works. And if you look a little deeper, you might even find a deeper meaning. What a concept. Admittedly I'm a big supporter of this band, it can be difficult to be objective when it's tough to turn the fanboy off. But this band deserves all the success they've attained up until this point. Instead of getting frustrated by not being entirely accepted by the 'mainstream, Coheed and Cambria have been able to carve out an impressive existence for themselves while mai...
