Picture Credit: Anh Phan   Angry Joe and the Holy Socks - Kicking Rocks Release Date: July 30, 2021 Label: selfrelease Format: Digital Length: 38:45 Genre: Alternative Rock Origin: Houston , TX , USA The band name Angry Joe and the Holy Socks might raise the assumptions that this young band from Houston, Texas plays pissed-off and raging Hardcore Punk. Instead, "Kicking Rocks" is a soulful, autochthonous, and yet dynamic and honest Alternative Rock release. The band with the long and awesome name consists of Charli  (violin, viola, bass, drums, guitar, backing vocals), and Joe  (guitar, bass, percussions, vocals). Their first album is a product of quarantine, during which the two band members decided to write and record songs that everyone can refer to. The result is an eleven-track work containing songs about life, drugs, love, emotions, the status quo of our society, and the sober statement that we are all human, and we all have the same feelings. Predominantly, "Kicki...

Picture Credit: Tinker Tinker - Your Loss Release Date: October 23, 2020 Length: 03:47 Genre: Soul / Alternative Pop Origin: Houston (Texas) , USA In 1962, Barbary Lynn sang 'You'll lose a good thing'. Almost sixty years later, her grand-daughter Tinker implemented the song's chorus to the intro of 'Your Loss' and successfully proves that she has inherited her gandmother's musical talent. 'Your Loss' is a powerful and deep Soul song about missed opportunities in life, about toxicity, and about empowerment. It is an emotional and self-confident message for people stuck in toxic relationships, and a message for those who take advantage of their generosity. Hence, the chorus emphasizes "If you should lose me, you'll lose a goood thing". Soft-voiced and yet powerful, Tinker spreads empowerment, confidence, and the importance of self-respect.
