First of all, and because it cannot be said often enough: нет войны | ні війні | No War How to help the people in Ukraine ______________________________________________________ Picture Credit: Heartfalls Heartfalls - Heartfalls Release Date: June 15, 2022 Duration: 02:45 Genre: Post Metal / Post Rock Origin: Queens, NY, USA Heartfalls is a product of its age. Based on the remains of the currently defunct metal band Ashes Forever. Rising from its, ehem, ashes, Heartfalls became a new outlet for Matt Dillon on drums and Josh Williams on guitar and bass. The newly-created band explores different territories, pretty far from the tech-metal agenda - it is post rock in its purest form, inspired by the titans of the genre like Caspian, Boards of Canada and Pelican. To this day Heartfalls remains a mysterious act, with little to no backstory behind it; and a single recorded track under the name 'Endless Year'. The artwork for it is an abstract black and white photo. Taking into consi...

Picture Credit: Trish Discord   Trish Discord - Desire Release Date: July 30, 2021 Length: 04:59 Genre: Synthwave / Alternative Rock Origin: Queens , NY , USA Trish Discord's second single 'Desire' comes with the announcement of the Queens-based artist to release her first album later this year. The empowering, emotional, and liberating song is a great chance to get an idea of what to expect from Trish Discord and her upcoming debut. The structure of the song is very exciting as 'Desire' begins with calm synthesizer sounds and is very wavy in its early passage. Then, Trish Discord lets the Synthwave sound slide into crunchy and heavily rolling Alternative Rock with an anthemic chorus. This Indietronic style creates a thrilling soundscape and makes 'Desire' extremely catchy. Tension and discharge interchange at a pleasing pace, and Trish Discord has thereby created a sound that is atmospheric and dynamic likewise. Music from every post will stay in the  Mang...

Story Release Date: June 25, 2021 Label: AWAL Format: Digital Length: 09:57 Genre: Revenge Pop Origin: Buffalo , New York , USA I don't often quote the press kit, but this time I think that I can't help. "When you're queer, everybody wants your sob story. With "S.O.B. Story", non-binary Alt-Pop and Hip-Hop artist Medusa asks: What if we're not sad?" "S.O.B. Story" is a three-track EP by Buffalo's artist Medusa (they/them), featuring guest appearances by way2wavybaby (she/her), and Overflow (they/them). It is a powerful release doing away with the prejudice that queer identity is directly connected to suffering. Instead, "S.O.B. Story" is a self-confident release conveying a message for cis- and straight allies: don't express pity, and show support instead. "S.O.B. Story" is a loud release. Medusa and their guests Overflow and way2wavybaby do use their inside voices when si...
