Welcome to the Church of Saint Slumber.

Last month, I had the absolute pleasure of attending the Malibu x Saint Slumber x Moonroof live show in Philly. Needless to say, it was an incredible time. To tell you the truth, I was only familiar with one band going in: Saint Slumber. I've been following them since 2020. And by following, I mean that they haven't left my "On Repeats" since November 14, 2020. I had never seen them live before, but they topped my concert bucket list.

And on their end, having been away from the stage for over 800 days-- how can a band meet fan expectations after all this time? But the only question I had leaving Philadelph...

The last few months have introduced us all to some incredible music, I know. However, there are few artists who captivated me the way that Saint Slumber, Mayko & THE HARA have. Ever. So, if you take my advice at any point this year, here are three artists that I really need you to check out real quick. Trust me, it'll be well worth it. While there will be links and embeds galore for you to explore, here is a Spotify playlist with selections from all three for you to start out with: 2021's Winner: Saint Slumber's EP, how to lose your self. I’d honestly be really sad for you if you missed Saint Slumber’s late-December release last year. That is why I’m telling you about it now! :) Because how to lose your self is the best EP I heard in all ...

LO LA To Debut New “Heartbreak Anthem” On Valentines Day

At just 21 years old, Los Angeles-based LO LA has already been performing for more than a decade. The talented singer/songwriter is coming into her own with the release of the new single "Toxic Love" on Valentines' Day. The mid-tempo track is described as a new "heartbreak anthem".

LO LA burst onto the scene in 2018 with the release of her debut single "Can't Keep Helping Myself". A cover she did of Lana Del Rey's "Queen of Disaster" led to viral fame on Tik Tok.
