Entertainment Weekly premieres Brooklynn’s “Wild Game” saying she “sounds like Emotional Rescue-era Stones fronted by Donna Summer.”
Despite what her name might suggest, the pop singer Brooklynn is based out of Atlanta, where she’s been developing a musical identity that pulls from a respectably diverse range of influences—Johnny Cash, Madonna, Guns N’ Roses, and Howlin’ Wolf among them. Working with Lady Gaga’s former musical director, Nico Constantine, she’s recorded an EP that comes out later this fall. It features one song, “Wild Game,” that sounds like Emotional Rescue-era Stones fronted by Donna Summer, which is a pretty seriously great thing to sound like. LISTEN HERE…
City Tribe drops another introspective cloud-shrouded beach-pop anthem at PopMatters
The most popular indie rock of recent years, from the psychedelic washes of Tame Impala to the sunny vocal harmonies of Fleet Foxes, has always found the most comfort in the warm rays of summer heat. Joining groups such as these is the San Francisco-based City Tribe, who with its latest tune, “Silver Lining”, balances melancholy subject matter with music that would find a fitting home at the sands of a beach.
Regarding the tune, singer and guitarist Jacob Jones says to PopMatters, “‘Silver Lining’ is a semi-autobiographical tune about hope and love. It’s about the trials you face as a young couple, which can be extremely difficult, emotionally and financially, especially in an expensive and fast-paced city like San Francisco. There are a million distractions and challenges, and sometimes it’s hard to see things clearly. Money—or lack thereof—can make things tense, but you can almost always work through it when there’s a strong foundation of love, and a partner who will do anything for you.” LISTEN HERE…
Mass Appeal premieres Chubb Rock & Mighty Mi’s “Same Rock” (Jon Kwest Mix)
Born in Kingston, Jamaica, Chubb Rock eventually relocated to NYC and entered the rap game via his cousin Hitman Howie Tee. Distinguishing himself with rough, rugged rhymes as filtered through the brain of a National Merit Scholar, the Chubbster dropped a classic with his 1991 disc The One, which had not one but three No. 1 rap singles, including the sureshot ragga-rap jam “Just the Two of Us,” the pulse-pounding “Treat Em Right,” and “The Chubbster.”
A couple of decades later, Chubb Rock is the host of WBLS’s Classic Flava show and the nationally syndicated Diggin in tha Crates radio program. But don’t get it twisted— Mr. Rock is still fully capable of spitting hot fire, as evidenced by “Same Rock,” which we’re premiering today off his Same Rock EP. The track is a collaboration with DJ Mighty Mi, best known for his work with High & Mighty, Eminem, Mos Def, and El-P. “This record started with a simple idea—to take my favorite rappers of the Golden Era and have them rap over the the kind of house beats people are going crazy for at my clubs,” says Mighty Mi. “As a Vegas DJ, I see the trends in club music firsthand, and I found that house-infused hip-hop is what people are reacting to most right now. And I had a feeling that Chubb would sound really good over some uptempo beats…. When he sent me back the demo version of the song, he’d written three verses that sounded old school, but with current references. He’s witty as ever, and most of all, that unmistakable Chubb Rock voice is still there.” LISTEN HERE…
Charleston City Paper believes that “what makes People’s Blues of Richmond estimable is its collective belief in the restorative powers of rock ‘n’ roll”
The first time was an accident: At a show in Knoxville a few years back, guitarist Tim Beavers’ Gibson SG crapped out on him halfway through the band’s second set, so he took it off and threw it face-down, breaking it in two pieces.
The last few times, the destruction was intentional. Just a few weekends ago at a festival in northern Virginia called Pasture Palooza, bassist Matthew Volkes smashed a TV with an axe. In late June at Mebane, N.C.’s The Big What? Festival, Beavers smashed a guitar. Not his SG again — this time a cheapo, $100 Squier Stratocaster, but the effect was no less visceral. Beavers destroyed another dollar-bin guitar at a hometown show in Richmond that weekend, too. READ MORE…
