National Library Week: A Celebration of Books Through Music

It’s National Library Week here in the United States, and this year’s theme is “There’s More to the Story.” This is definitely fitting (for our purposes, at least), especially given the fact that this article is not only about libraries themselves... but also about music related to stories or literature in some way. Before we get to all that, we need to set the record straight: libraries are awesome. While COVID may have had a tremendous impact on library systems due to closures and low foot traffic, and many people consider libraries to be ‘dead’... They aren't. But they do need your help. And honestly, you probably need your library more than you think, too. "What do I need a library for? I have my cellphone/the Internet/whatever." Listen—I get it. I love my hand...

Kings County’s Single “Holding On” Packs A Powerful Punch

Florida rockers Kings County have been hard at work over the last year writing and recording new music. We're seeing the fruits of that labor with the release of the new single and video, "Holding On." This intense track features powerful vocals, memorable guitar riffs, and melodic hooks to tie it all together. Kings County is Rob Dexter (Vocals, Bass), Steve Bell (Guitars, Vocals), Joe Lopez (Drums), and Bill Kania (Guitars, Vocals).Dexter says, “Holding On" was the song we needed to write. After our last release in 2022, we were constantly performing live for months and knew we had to get back to writing or we would become complacent. You are as good as your last song and it was a pivotal moment for us. We needed to raise the bar and that's exactly what we did". Meaning Behind "H...

Thoughts On grandson and His ILYIT Listening Event in New York City

“[I’m frequently asked], ‘why do you write about what you write about?’ Well, because I grew up the way that I did.” - Jordan Benjamin (grandson).  If you live near New York and follow internationally-acclaimed alt rock artist grandson, then you probably heard about the I Love You, I’m Trying listening event in Central Park that occurred earlier today; maybe you saw the ILYIT signs while out on a walk around the park... You might’ve even gotten coordinates sent to your phone, which, if plugged into your GPS app of choice, would’ve sent you to a random field in the middle of The Ramble, a woodsy part of the park with trees so tall you might even be able to forget that you’re in New York City for a while. (Or, if you’re lucky like me, your GPS might have sent you to two ...

Facebook opened its doors to anyone age 13+ with a valid email address, creating a whole new generation of social media users who weren't even able to drive yet.

Iconic Rockers Extreme Drop Two New Singles Simultaneously

Multi-platinum hard rock icons Extreme might be known for songs like "More Than Words" and "Hole Hearted" but they're still turning out the hits. The band has been making waves lately with their single, "Rise." Now they're back with two new singles ahead of the release of their new album SIX on June 9th. 'SIX' Album Artwork "Banshee" is a seductive classic hard rock tune with a chugging rhythm section and playful guitar wizardry. The track features electrifying vocals that testify to the power and inspiration of the female form and spirit. It's the kind of song that'll get your blood pumping and your head banging. And then there's "#REBEL," a scathing track that takes on so-called keyboard warriors with its head-nodding beat and searing lead guitar runs. It's a hard-hitting anthe...
