Jack White Debuts Heartfelt New Single & Music Video For “Love Is Selfish”

Jack White is as versatile as they come. One minute loud and raucous, the next quiet and introspective. He's set to have a productive year with two solo albums slated for release in 2022. After coming out hard with the first single "Taking Me Back" from his new album Fear of the Dawn (due in April), "Love Is Selfish" puts his softer side on display. The latter of which will be featured on his planned summer release, Entering Heaven Alive. This is the kind of material I'm looking for from White. Sure he's most often at his best with loud distorted guitars but he's got a softer side. 'Love Is Selfish' is just him and his guitar with some light percussion in the background to help keep the train on the tracks. You can check it out below after its debut or on your favorite streaming platfo...

The well-known Bacon Brothers will be making a run up the east coast this spring on their 'Out of Memory' tour.

Growing up, the Bacon Brothers were drawn to music having been raised on a steady diet of the Beatles, Rolling Stones and Motown classics. They've since spent the last 20 years as a band, releasing 10 studio albums and performing hundred...

Americana Duo The HawtThorns to Release Tarot Cards & Shooting Stars February 25th

The new year is shaping up nicely for new music releases and on February 25th we can expect a new album from husband/wife Americana duo The HawThorns. The album, Tarot Cards & Shooting Stars is set to drop on Mule Kick Records. When you combine the lush vocal harmonies, sun-kissed songwriting, and versatile guitar work of K.P. and Johnny Hawthorn, the result is something special. Spending time in both Nashville and Los Angeles to record the album, it also serves as a nod to both sides of the group's geographic and musical roots. K.P and Johnny came together to form The HawThornes with accomplished careers of their own already under their belt. K.P., a nationally tour artist with CALICO and her own solo work, and Hawthorn, a multi-instrumentalist who'd shared the stage with the l...

Dashboard Confessional Debut Introspective “Here’s To Moving On” Music Video

Dashboard Confessional's Chris Carrabba suffered life threatening injuries in a motorcycle accident in 2020. The new music video from the band gives fans a peek into his recovery. "Here's To Moving On" chronicles a show day and starts with Carrabba in bed stretching his still sore shoulder as he gets out of bed. From there he strums the guitar and sings as he looks over get well cards as he sits on the couch. He proceeds to walk into the garage and examine the clothes and helmet he was wearing at the time of the accident. The track is quintessential Dashboard, Carrabba at his best. All The Truth That I Can Tell is set for release on February 25th and is available for pre-order now. You can choose your preferred music service here. Dashboard Confessional initially started in ...

Visitor Releases Dynamic New Single “Feeding The Dark”

Fresh off the release of their new EP Greetings From Titan, Visitor returns with the gritty yet melodic single, "Feeding The Dark". The Detroit, Michigan-based quartet combine elements of rock, metal, and grunge with a hint of Motown to form a vibe all their own. According to a recent press release, when asked about the meaning behind the song, guitarist Steve Dombroski described how "Feeding The Dark" is "basically about how depression, self-doubt, and self-sabotaging sometimes plagues our minds and paralyzes our ability to move forward." He continues, “we can sometimes find ourselves in these patterns or circles of decision, or even indecision, that forces us into feeling trapped, regardless of what we do. But, it is also about the mindset of letting go as the chorus goes, "when ...

Avril Lavigne Teams Up With Travis Barker On Catchy New Single “Bite Me”

Travis Barker has been everywhere lately so of course, it makes sense he's collaborating with Avril Lavigne on a catchy new single. "Bite Me" stars the multiplatinum-selling Lavigne in her first release since signing to Barker's DTA Records. Lavigne's career began in the early 2000s after growing up signing in churches where she grew up in Canada. She signed a major label deal with Arista Records and two years later she was a household name with hit songs all over the radio. Her debut album Let Go featuring "Complicated", "Sk8er Boi" and others have achieved Diamond Certification with sales of over 15 million copies.

Retrograde is Over, but You’re Still Feeling Emo? Redhook & First and Forever Got You Covered.

Welcome to Ambur's Release Radar's Greatest Hits: Vol 1! Today, I would like to thank Spotify's "Release Radar" for bringing two singles to my attention: "Sentimental Surgery" by Redhook & "Sick Little Games" by First and Forever.

Robben Ford Drops New Single ‘Balafon’ Ahead Of New Album Release

Well-known guitar virtuoso Robben Ford is gearing up for the release of his new album Pure later this summer. Nominated for five Grammy Awards, Ford has played with everyone from Joni Mitchell, Miles Davis, Phil Lesh, and Greg Allman. The new single 'Balafon' was one of the first two tracks that came together for the record. Pure is the first fully instrumental studio album from Ford since 1987's Tiger Walk. Featuring nine killer tracks, you'll hear elements of jazz, blues, and rock with exceptional guests featured throughout. I feel that Pure is perhaps the most complete representation of my personal musical vision. Previous recordings having been products of a period of development that lead to the music presented here. It’s been very satisfying to have shaped my own composit...
