Nashville’s Briston Maroney Drops Two-Side Single

Nashville's Briston Maroney has served up a double helping of music that is new to fans but that he wrote nearly five years ago. It certainly appears as if both "Oregon" and "Harvard" have aged like a fine wine and are worth checking out on your preferred streaming platform. Photo Credit: Drew Bauml Now performing in front of large crowds at places like Bonnaroo and the Firefly Music Festival, Maroney has paid his dues. Earlier in his career, he made a name for himself in the Nashville music scene performing DIY house parties. This gave him the opportunity to build connections directly with his fans at these intimate shows. "Oregon" and "Harvard" were produced by Caleb Wright and Jake Luppen of Hippo Campus. Thoughts On "Oregon" This is honestly an old song that I never tho...

Godsmack Responds To Fan Criticism Of “Surrender”

While the official release date is unannounced, we'll update this article as more details become available. According to frontman Sully Erna, the new track "...is simply about the exhaustion we can all feel in relationships at times from the redundancy of fighting with each other. At a certain point in our lives, we submit to putting aside who’s right or wrong, we just want it to STOP! So we wave the white flag". The release of "Surrender" follows their gold-certified When Legends Rise album. The Grammy-nominated band has had a staggering 11 #1 singles and 20 top 10 hits at rock radio. And with that a...

Jimmy Eat World’s Heartfelt Acoustic Version Of “Something Loud”

Going the DIY route, Jimmy Eat World has released an acoustic version of their latest song. The intimate version of "Something Loud" was recorded in their own Tempe, Arizona studio. And the accompanying music video was filmed as they recorded. In other words, what you see is what you get. Frontman Jim Adkins along with long-time band members Tim Linton (guitar/backing vocals), Rick Burch (bass), and Zach Lind (drums) recorded the reworked version in a single day. The entire process to mix and master the song and edit the video was a very hands-on process with Adkins having this to say about the experience. I recorded, mixed, filmed and edited the thing — took about a week all-in. A lot of it was hitting the spacebar to record, then running into the garage to play whatever was s...

408 Release Anthemic “2016” Collaboration With Titus

Anticipation is building for the release of the new album from 408. Filled with pop punk and alt-rock bangers, Out Of It can't get here soon enough. The newest single from the album is an uptempo energetic new song called "2016" and the album is due October 28th. The new single features Titus on vocals. Coming off a string of successful singles, their most recent effort went viral. "Backfired" with Taylor Acorn has racked up hundreds of thousands of streams and connected with fans on Tik Tok. What we like about 408 is that we can hear the pop-punk roots they're grounded in but other influences permeate through the music. If you listen closely, you can hear the hip hop, EDM, and electronica bleed through. The result is an up-and-coming band that is familiar yet fresh. New Music ...
