Vents Magazine Interviews LA’s Roses and Cigarettes

Jenny Pagliaro: “Echoes and Silence is truly a collaborative effort. Directly following release of the first album, I was diagnosed with Stage IV Breast Cancer”

Angela Petrilli: “Jenny’s cancer diagnosis forced us to shift our perspective with many things, including how we operated as a band, to the types of gigs we took. With the song “Echoes and Silence,” it was a song that started off as an idea I had come up with on my acoustic guitar. It had a very different feel than anything we had written before. Jenny came up with a beautiful mantra and this song was born!”

Kyle Daniel Talks Career History and New EP with Nashville.com

Kyle Daniel recently announced the March 15 release of his sophomore EP What’s There to Say?

What’s there to say when you’ve conceded to the hardships of life? Kyle Daniel wrestles with this question throughout his sophomore EP, aptly titled What’s There to Say? Delivering his message via bright melodies and a wall of electric guitar, Daniel navigates the trials and tribulations of being a working musician, failed relationships, being surrounded by addiction and growing up in modern-day America. Wearing his heart on a tattered sleeve, he pairs everyman lyricism with a rusty vocal akin to Blackberry Smoke, Will Hoge and Chris Stapleton, bristled with a warm guitar bravado. It comes as no surprise that he’s road-dogged as a guitarist for Clare Dunn, Jimmy Hall and Casey James, as well as opened for the likes of Jason Isbell and Miranda Lambert. These are rich, authentic stories told from the perspective of someone who’s wrestled with the ups and downs of being a touring musician.

Wide Open Country Interviews Nashville’s Boo Ray

Before southern country troubadour Boo Ray moved to Music City, he had been making the same trek from Georgia to Nashville for over a decade. Over the years, he passed the same sign for a fireworks stand on Interstate 24 hundreds of times and it came to represent his dreams for the future and the perseverance needed to make it in the notoriously difficult music industry. The sign became a mantra of sorts and, eventually, the name of his new album.

D.L. Rossi’s “Good Woman” Premieres on Americana UK

If tough knocks are the necessary path to meaningful music then D.L. Rossi is probably feeling he’s racked up enough now, and maybe it’s time for life to let him get on with the songwriting part of the equation. Having started in bands at a young age, joining in with his older brothers, D.L. Rossi decided to pursue a career in music, initially behind his drum set. The intervention of (successfully treated) cancer encouraged him to kick up his pace a bit, and in his late twenties he released a debut album which rather shocked his social circle

Los Angeles punk rockers SP’s share new single “Elegy” at The Big Takeover

SP’s are a rollicking, eccentric garage-rock outfit with a decidedly snotty Left-wing slant. And with their debut EP Rise/Fall, which comes out April 5th on Baby Robot Records, they aim their sonic battering ram straight for the Halls of Power.

From its breakneck opening snare roll, SP’s EP is a lit fuse that ends up as a cannon ball-blast from the bow of a battleship fighting against the reckless and dangerous issues of our times. Engaging in manic diatribes, the band’s caustic songs decry nationalism, the ruling class, toxic masculinity, gun violence, propaganda, revolution, and divide-and-conquer politics. READ MORE…

Glide Magazine Streams Full Album from Roses & Cigarettes

Roses & Cigarettes’ music is an eclectic blend of roots rock and Americana; a perfect recipe for the classic California sound. The band’s name was inspired by the Ray LaMontagne song of the same title, formed in Los Angeles in 2013. At that time Jenny Pagliaro was a vocalist in a local cover band who auditioned Angela Petrilli for a vacant guitar position. Pagliaro and Petrilli immediately bonded over a common desire to create and perform original material, and Roses & Cigarettes was born.
