VENTS Magazine debuts the latest single from Megan & Shane, “Million Lives,” calling it “a song that captures the spirit of old-school Country with some modern twists.”
Between the two of them, Megan and Shane Baskerville have played just about every kind of American music you can imagine. Born in Wisconsin and based in the Southwest—with a lot of rambling in between—they’re veterans of punk scenes, bluegrass circuits, ska bands, even hip-hop acts, all of which informs their work with the School of Rock franchises they operate in Arizona. But nearest and dearest to their hearts is country music, which allows them a unique opportunity to meld all these disparate interests, and to air their darkest secrets. Defined by Megan’s force-of-nature vocals and Shane’s inventive guitar playing, Daughter of Country is a memoir set to music, every word the God’s honest truth, as the husband-wife duo re-create the sounds pioneered by their heroes, while putting their own personal spin on the genre.
Vents Magazine debuts the latest single from Matthew Check, “The Amazing Worth,” calling his forthcoming EP a “collection of love songs, breakup tunes, and everything in between.”
Matthew Check is a lifelong singer/songwriter whose musical career shrinks the distance between genres, finding its own balance of American roots-rock, contemporary Jewish folk, children’s music, and bluegrass.
LA indie-rockers Under the Rug talk to Vents Magazine about their new single “Raindrops”
LA indie-rock/soul-pop band Under the Rug sit down with Vents Magazine to talk about their new single “Raindrops,” out this Thursday, July 22nd.
VENTS Magazine debuts the new single from Giovanni Carnuccio III, “Hot Time Traveler,” calling it an “acid-drenched dreamscape.”
Songs like “Hot Time Traveler” ride a Massive Attack-like gait, with clacking drums, while the strings and guitars create an acid-drenched dreamscape. And then there’s “PCHDMT,” which wouldn’t feel entirely out of place on say – Rosalia’s last record, all fluttering flamenco guitars and ebullient strings, with an additionally healthy serving of the psychedelic. Appropriately, the song itself was inspired by Carnuccio’s own trips down the Pacific Coast Highway.
VENTS Magazine debuts the latest track from Parker Smith, “Holy Water,” calling it “Asbury Park-indebted blues-rock.”
Unlike most of his peers in the Americana community, Smith manages to defy being pigeonholed by inflecting his music with touches of blue-eyed soul (“Fray”), Asbury Park-indebted blues-rock (“Holy Water”), and even Gordon Lightfoot (“Arrowroot”). Though Underground might technically fall under the umbrella of a “quarantine album,” these songs differentiate themselves from Smith’s oeuvre in their raw, confessional nature and their hummability: these are songs not easily shaken from memory.
