I have a pretty personal connection to Slope Records. The little Phoenix punk label has given a whole lot of friends of mine a much bigger chance at music than they have ever had before. I don’t really know the members of The Blankz that well, but I was happy to write about them. http://dyingscene.com/news/slope-records-head-honcho-announces-debut-single-from-his-new-band-the-blankz/
I’ve only missed one New York City performance of Stza’s since I moved back to the East Coast and that was Sturge doing a solo-acoustic set at C-Squat. It’s always a good time getting out and skankin to the crack rock steady beat. http://dyingscene.com/news/show-review-stza-crack-returns-from-mexico-for-his-first-hometown-show-in-8-months/
Khalil Daniel was one of my grade-school classmates so I was really excited to get the opportunity to write about his new single for Rbeatz.com.
I was definitely late to the Crack Rock Steady party not really discovering my appreciation for it until the 20-teens. BUt now that I have found the Crack Rock Steady beat I am hooked. Stza puts on a great show every time and Sunday night was no exception.
The Mad Doctors aren’t just a great band they are also some of the nicest guys in New York City. They are always on the move doing something fun so it’s impossible to cover everything they do but their new track is sweet.
I’ve been enamored with The Nude Party since the very first time I saw them playing with Savants, Ron Gallo, and Stuyedeyed at Williamsburg’s Baby’s All Right. Since the first time I saw them they had me completely entertained and nothing I have seen of theirs since then has ever disappointed.
Matt and Kim have been one of my favorite bands since the first time I heard them at Bonnaroo Music and Arts Festival 2011. Since then I have been closely following their career and listening to all of their tunes, and I seldom let a new one come out without having something to say about…
I went to New Haven Conn. for the first time ever last week to attend an Injury Reserve show and one of the openers was really quite striking as a large musical ensemble. I went about meeting the frontman and getting their contact info, and a week later I am premiering their brand new record!
Lost Lake Festival 2017 was an absolute pleasure to cover and shoot. It was one of the most fun times I have ever had a music journalist and photographer and I am extremely excited to know that they are bringing it back for a round 2. To get the full story on Pre-sale tickets follow…
Rolling Loud is coming up in just over a month and if all goes well me and my trusty camera will be out there covering all the action for rbeatz.com . But before the big weekend, I have my picks for the 10 most unmissable acts of the fest.
