Send a request to rmangowave@gmail.com Picture Credit: CHLSY CHLSY - Vancouver Duration: 12:28 Genre: Indie Folk / Indie Pop Origin: Nashville , TN , USA CHLSY in an established award winning artist, who aims to make the world a better place where everything good overtakes the objective bad. And her weapon of choice in the fight with social injustice is dramatic pop music. What might at first seem as your typical MTV American dream band has actually outgrown that demanding status, finding a firmer foothold in the area of social activism and genuine 90’s sound. As years passed, CHLSYs songwriting skill and video production quality both improved noticeably. Behind the songs stands the mastermind of Chelsea Gilliland, the young prodigy who does both singing and playing the guita...

Picture Credit: Anna Eisch   Anna Eisch - FMO Release Date: May 21, 2021 Length: 02:53 Genre: Dark Pop / Synthwave Origin: Nashville , Tennessee , USA "FMO" stands for "Fuck Me Over", and it is the name of the first single that Nashville's Anna Eisch  has released since her debut EP " I doubt he'll ever hear this ". In her new song, Anna Eisch  deals with the tough process of exiting a toxic relationship. Thus, "FMO" concerns the inner struggle between self-doubt and self-awareness, and the inner conflict between leaving for one's good and staying for the less toxic elements of the relationship. "FMO" is based on a dark and grinding set of synthesizer waves. Gloomy atmosphere comparable to late 90s Alternative Rock and Pop builds the foundation on which Anna Eisch  powerfully and sensually sings her narrative. The glitchy soundscape gets its dynamics via a trap beat which combines the pre-Millenium soundsphere with contempo...

Picture Credit: TK Collective   TK Collective - Off the Edge Release Date: March 19, 2021 Label: selfrelease Format: Digital Length: 23:55 Genre: Indie Rock / Alternative Rock Origin: Nashville , Tennessee , USA It all began at Belmont University where three suitemates began jamming some cover songs last fall. The chemistry was right, and Cupid  has shot his sonic arrows accurately. The loose trio became a band and is now called TK Collective, and they have released their first EP "Off the Edge" - a six-track collection of songs that represents the different musical influences and backgrounds of the three members and combines them to an honest work of Alternative and Indie Rock with a certain Folk Rock impact. The soulful and thoughtful EP is opened by the boppy track 'Don't be' featuring guest vocalist Kelsey Minko  whose voice perfectly fits TKCollective's sound. And as a personal side note, I want to add that on future releases, I would be super happy to h...

Picture Credit: Katie Frank Katie Frank - Politician Release Date: January 29, 2021 Length: 04:03 Genre: Alternative Rock / Country Origin: Nashville (Tennessee) , USA When you have worked in teams, you pretty much that one person that is addressed in this song. There is always that one self-declared heroine or hero presenting themselves as the big deal while the rest of the team does 97,6% of the work. But for some reason those people know when to pretend to be working hard. Katie Frank  has written a beautiful song for those self-adulators, and calls them 'policiticians'. In her song, the artist merges the harmony of country with the gloomy energy of Alternative Rock. The outcome is a melodic and dynamic track that invites you to move your feet, raise a glass, and maybe show the finger to those 'politicians'.
