Not far away from the release of the Like A Storm album July 5th, we have another heartbroken tune from Bronson Wisconsin: "Wrinkled Pants"
'What else is there left to say? you walked her home every damn day'
This line has really caught me, where Bronson screamed out his inner sorrow.
While I am listening to "Wrinkled Pants", I could easily picture a singer/songwriter, who is accompanied by an electric guitar, sings his heart out in a lounge after watching his girl with another man.
Wrinkled Pants is one of my favorite songs in the album. Listen/Download the single here.

Tove Lo has JUST debuted a super EXTRA and FUN music video for her latest single ’Glad He’s gone’!
The creative vocal production on Tove’s track has never failed to surprise me! Like 'Stay High - Habits Remix', this song also has a beautiful high-pitched hook line ‘You’re better off I'm glad that he’s gone’ that will easily stick in your head.
Apart from the catchy line, the new music video is also very entertaining and ridiculous, where Tove left her lunch date to give her BFF a broke up prep talk on the phone and to show her enormous support. When I say ENORMOUS support, I am not exaggerating because Tove is willing to walk that extra mile from the forest to the sea and to the Arctic etc.
Now, we are even more excited about her upcoming fourth full-length album, Sunshine Kitty.

As the sun set on a glorious early summer day on the Jersey Shore, the Wolfmother faithful starting filling into the legendary Stone Pony in Asbury Park, NJ. For those who don't know its history, The Pony is a breeding ground for rock royalty with legendary artists such as Bruce Springsteen and Bon Jovi getting their start there. Tonight however, it was Wolfmother's time to shine on that iconic stage. As the crowd was settling in, Maryland rockers Lionize took the stage and got everyone warmed up for the night's main attraction. There band killed with a unique mixture of rock, funk, and reggae that left the crowd wanting more as their set came to a crashing end. Lionize's originality was appreciated and well received by the raucous crowd, firing an opening salvo to what would ultimately be a show for the ages for those lucky enough to be in attendance on Tuesday night.
After a short break, Wolfmother finally made their way to the Stone Pony stage. The crowd went bonkers as they kicked off their performance with 2016 hit, "Victorious". This Australian rock band (founded in 2004) have been blowing people away with their unique style for years and this show was no exception. Behind the incredible vocals and guitar work of the band's founding father, Andrew Stockdale, Wolfmother took fans on a magical mystical ride that challenged the mind and invigorated the soul throughout their stellar 13-song set. Although the band has gone through some lineup changes over the years (and which band hasn't?), the one that took the stage on Tuesday was simply out of this world. Hamish Rosser (Drums), Leo Munoz (Keys), and Brad Heald (Bass) put on a clinic for the near-capacity crowd and fired on all cylinders throughout their performance. As always, Andrew's extraordinary vocals and rock star swagger were on full display and captivated a now rabid crowd.
As the show progressed, Wolfmother whipped the crowd into a frenzy with all the big hits from their catalog. Seeing this was my first time catching them live, I was thoroughly impressed as they tore down the roof with classics such as "California Queen", "Woman", "White Unicorn", and one of my all-time favorites, "New Moon Rising". Another thing I loved was seeing Stockdale and the band interacting with the Stone Pony audience. Whether it be clapping along to an amazing beat or Andrew having fans sing along with him to one of their classics, everyone in attendance loved it with Wolfmother feeding off the crowd's electricity all night long.
Wolfmother has gone through a lot of up's and down's as a band, but they are still alive and kicking after all these years. Andrew Stockdale's magnificent songwriting and infectious rock star presence still draws crowds looking for straight up Rock And Roll. The bands line up right now is solid and provides live performances that are jam-packed with tons energy and excitement. In a world where many bands fall flat performing live, Wolfmother kicks it up a notch and delivers when it counts. I'd highly recommend catching one of their live shows if they roll through your town - definitely worth the price of admission!
"All in all, Kill The Motherboard stylistically stands in a class of their own. They’re not for everyone, but with meaningful lyrics and rhythmic production, they offer a breath of fresh air in a scene that’s been plagued with repetition, simplicity, and at times, a lack of creativity. The Legend of Picasso Jones will definitely be added to my playlist and am sure you’ll do the same once you take it for a spin!"
Coming from a traditional hip hop background, I didn’t know what to expect when I went to listen to The Legend of Picasso Jones. Admittedly, I had never heard of Kill The Motherboard. I was vaguely familiar with Jack Splash’s work with Kendrick Lamar and Cee-Lo Green, but still had no idea what I was in for in reviewing their debut album.
After a super-cool blues intro, I was immediately introduced to the world of Kill The Motherboard with Jack Splash’s sober but carefully laced production, "Saint Paul”. The vocalist, Jon Brown, lays down a teaser of an anthem which warns that The Legend of Picasso Jones was going to be a soulful journey into the elements of funk and hip hop. The song picks up steam towards the end but quickly loses its flame as it ends at just over 2 minutes. This left me a tad bit disappointed as it was a killer track and was really hoping for more.
Next up was a song that I found myself coming back to again and again, “The Water”. This jam starts in an aggressive fashion with a gritty and persistent electro bassline which immediately fills the void left from “Saint Paul.” Jon Brown jumps in with powerful and melodic vocals that really bring this song to life for the listener. Once I heard the incredibly catchy hook, I realized these guys might actually be onto something. Eric Biddines also makes his first appearance on the album and assists with his complex conscious flows that take an ever-evolving production from Jack Splash to a whole new level. It is no surprise that these two chose to drop this track as one of the debut singles to their full-length project.
Another high point on the album is “Mr. Nobody & His Nefarious Friends.” This song is a super-funky jam containing what seems to be Kill The Motherboard’s signature style – an upbeat rhythm, carefully placed multi-layered production, and a style bending uplifting form of hip hop. Reminiscent of Kid Cudi’s “Cudi Zone”, Kill The Motherboard continues to push the boundaries or rap with their unconventional style on this song and others throughout the album.
While Jack Splash tends to alley-oop Jon Brown throughout the majority of the album, he seems to outshine his partner on the closing track, “Castles.” Jon Brown holds his own but Jack Splash displays that there’s truly multiple levels to being a producer. Polished with psychedelic tunes and twinkles, the methodical production displayed on the track was top notch and one of my favorites on the album. "Castles" seemed to be the perfect track to bring The Legend of Picasso Jones to a close and showcased why the dynamic-duo of Jack Splash and Jon Brown are going to be a force to be reckoned with in the not-so-distant future. Wanna decide for yourself? Click HERE to listen to The Legend of Picasso Jones - you'll be glad you did!

Indie alternative, singer-songwriter from Louisiana. Her music is perfumed with jazz and
down-in-your-gut soul. She parades her roots honestly like the street bands of New
Orleans, where she learned how to stay true to the music and herself.
Brittany’s powerhouse voice is the reason why she’s compared to Amy Winehouse, Adele, and Janis Joplin. She loves to make people feel deep, go places within that they’ve been afraid of, cause them to think and move beyond to something greater, to some other worldliness. Life is her inspiration, the highs, lows, in-betweens, and all the greats who have dared to be fully themselves in this industry. It is her purpose and passion to use music to bridge the gaps between the mundane and the heavenlies, like the greek goddess iris.

Meet WOLVES, a band that is breaking barriers and pushing the boundaries of modern music with their infectious blend of genres. Consisting of Marc Avery, Sean Carney, and Rockwell Sands, the Los Angeles based trio have created their own unique sound, marrying pop sensibilities with bold rock’n’roll and gritty urban beats. With each member hailing from various cultural backgrounds, WOLVES have crafted their own distinct style, shaping the sound of pop culture as we know it.
“We wondered what it would be like if we took all these different influences we loved—artists like Michael Jackson, the Eagles, Coldplay—and rolled them all into one band today,” Sands muses. Their eclectic influences proved to be inspirational, with their debut single ‘Animal’ giving the trio their signature explosive sound.
The band was named after the characteristics of wolves. These majestic animals which are bonded by an innate sense of the pack, move in harmony as one unit towards common goals. “I can’t think of a better way to describe us. The three of us are all about the good of the group; every day we try to embody that philosophy in our music and beyond.” remarks Avery.
WOLVES highly anticipated single 'Freaky' is an anthem to inspire others to be brave and embrace who you are, to share your inner-most desires with the world and to live life to the fullest. Featuring slick indie pop grooves, 90’s reminiscent hip hop and hard-hitting rhythms, ‘Freaky’ is a song that you can’t help but dance to. "We love listening to music from back in the day and try to re-imagine what it would sound like today.” reveals Carney.
From the primal energy of ‘Animal' to the seductive tones in ‘Freaky’, WOLVES have crafted a wildly diverse range of music built for pop radio and stadiums alike. Having already earned top spots on the Billboard charts and heavy rotation on Sirius XM Hits 1, the trio hopes to inspire audiences across the globe with their music, and to continue creating unforgettable songs that at once nod to the past and hurtle towards the future.

GEO started writing songs in her early teens. Together with her diaries, and home movies, life with all its joy and pain became the spur for a huge outpouring of creativity. By the age of 17 she had quite a collection of songs and scraps of songs, the best of which found their way onto her debut album, AURA.
At the age of 16, she performed live at Genghis Cohen’s, West Hollywood, and at Dartington Hall in Devon, England. The following Spring she toured in the UK with international dance musical, Where Is Home? and later in that year, performed for a season at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival. In June 2018, she showcased at New York Sync Summit, and in November at BBC One Introducing, Tobacco Dock, London.
These experiences of performing, working alongside artists from the UK, South Africa, Italy, the USA, the Caribbean, Japan and Pakistan, have been great and have allowed her to reach out to a wide and very appreciative live audience.
In 2019 Geo performed in Germany, France, Belgium, Holland and the UK, as special guest of The Teskey Brothers on their Half Mile Harvest EU Tour.
"Loving her music, and what a voice!" Josh Teskey, The Teskey Brothers.

Before dropping a whole album on July 5th, Bronson Wisconsin released the 3rd single Number One
Number One has both chill vibes and rock elements. The lyrics is brutally honest and very relatable to listeners with similar experience when you are not someone’s priority.
Listen/Download the single here.
Beware! The lyrics is so true it hurts…
When you first listen to The Little Miss's American Dream, you might not get the true meaning of this song. The strumming of an acoustic guitar, the sound of a whistle as well as a voice sounded like Karen Carpenter, The Little Miss immersed us in her happy and carefree tune. Alongside with the film-like music video that she took with her retro filter app on her phone, she brought us back to the 70s!
The music video is causal and simple, yet honest. The Little Miss shows us her own perspective of America with footages of her hitting the road, riding on a boat, walking on the beach, going to an aquarium or going to music festivals. But her intention does not only stay in the bright side, because none of these will happen if we stay in the shadow and let the rich and politicians to decide the future of America. It is subtle, but footages of her in a political assembly appear in the music video from time to time. it is not until the end that she reveals the importance of people to participate in politics in different ways. Stay informed and stay awake!
P.S. The Little Miss is joining our #419 Hunnypot party on 24th June at The Mint. You don't want to miss this!

The Hip-hop/ Rap artist Coca Vango has just dropped his new song 'Waterfall' in late May featuring Tyga, along with the music video. It will not be a surprise if Waterfall becomes one of the 2019 summer club hits!
While the song is very catchy with a repeating bass line and catch phrases, the music video is even more eye-catching featuring bright vivid colors, electrifying and dramatic words as well as dancing ladies who bring up the temperature of the room!
