Glide Magazine debuts new single from Matthew Check, calling it “a rock and roll piano sound with smoky vocals that bring to mind Warren Zevon.”

Today Glide is excited to premiere “Back to Sleep,” one of the standout tracks on the new album. With a rock and roll piano sound that smoky vocals that bring to mind Warren Zevon, the song carries a stomping groove that showcases Check’s talent for singing, songwriting and composing. There is a timeless barroom rock and roll sound to the tune as Check layers in catchy vocal harmonies and plenty of jammy electric guitar. Of course, the piano ties it all together and makes for a sound that feels straight out of the hazy 70s.

Beats Per Minute reviews Giovanni Carnuccio III’s new LP, A Matter of Time

If you didn’t know that Giovanni Carnuccio III was a drummer, then you sure as hell will know by the end of “Requiem”, the 65-second opening track to his new album, A Matter of Time. Hi-hats chatter rapidly, elastic-sounding toms warble quickly as drums sticks skip over them, cymbal crashes splash about the mix, and snare hits roll out so fast it’s like the sound of a river flooding on by. “Requiem” is a mass flurry of drums, polyrhythms aplenty, and an almost dizzyingly virtuosic display of percussive talent.

Northern Transmissions debuts the latest track from Ditchbird, “Think She Was Right”

“The name ‘Ditchbird’ sounds like a folk artist,” he says from his home studio in Minneapolis, where both Real Enough For You Now and the harder-hitting Some Dreams EP were recorded, “but I wanted to make sure people were aware that I’m not going to sing songs with an acoustic guitar on my couch forever. There’s nothing wrong with that, but I have more rock songs in me. It’s the sound I grew up hearing.”

The Tape Deck sits down to talk with Left at London about her new record t.i.a.p.f.y.h

About fifteen minutes into our conversation, Nat Puff has some choice words for me. It had taken that long for us to properly introduce ourselves – it was an early morning and we were both very tired – and I joked that it ultimately didn’t matter because I was, in my words, “just a person.” READ MORE…

Glide Magazine debuts new single + video from Megan & Shane, “Alone,” produced by Bob Hoag (Courtney Marie Andrews, Gin Blossoms)

Glide is proud to premiere the song and video for the knock-em dead single “Alone,” which features the cool windswept pedal steel of Jon Rauhouse. In a crowded Americana scene, Megan and Shane stand out as licit ambassadors for a vintage sound, where accomplished vocals, stirring musicianship and colorful nuances give its music a sense of time and place. Let’s hope they can get out to Nashville soon and use their teaching chops to put on a clinic of their own.
