Long Live -The Lights The Fight [Review]

“The Fight” opens with a taut, purposeful energy the instruments lock in quickly, establishing a rock-leaning backbone. That initial momentum sets the stage for a song that never quite lets up, even as it shifts between reflection and resistance. The production is polished but not overly slick; there’s still grit in the guitars and urgency in the drums, which keeps the emotion grounded.”

Livingmore - Resident Psycho [Music Review]

“We’ve all had that one weird neighbor. Livingmore decided to take the odd experiences and sounds emitting from from their LA apartment neighbor and spin it into a song. ‘Resident Psycho’ is a gritty Alt Pop/Rock track with some old school psychedelic vibes layered in. Lyrically its more of a vibe than anything else, but the rythmn and hard-charged melody carry the day and you can feel this one in your teeth.”

Lettuce - Breathe [Review]

“With “Breathe,” Lettuce trades high-energy funk for a smooth, soulful groove that feels like a deep exhale. The horns glide, the rhythm locks in, and the band proves that space can groove as hard as sound. It’s a late-night mood subtle, confident, and effortlessly cool.

Overall, Lettuce slows it down and still keeps it funky.”

Jake Thistle - Alone, Together [Music Review]

“Jake Thistle taps into the Pop side of Indie Rock with hsi single , ‘Alone Together.’ Inspired by a stretch of New Jersey turnpike that gives him industrial smokestacks on one side and the gleaning Manhattan skyline on the other, the track is about how we often can be two things at once or find ourselves in situations that are.

The song is performed with emotive brilliance and is one you can quickly sing along with as you tie the emotions to your own everyday life. ”

Sidepiece RVA - Never [Music Review]

“Rock and Roll has always been about rebellious defiance with a sultry side dish of sinful sexuality to sell it. Who better to deliver both than a band called Sidepiece RVA?

Their single, ‘Never’ comes in with that in your face classic rock guitar and then adds in alluring vocals that lean heavily on that sexy defiance. The lead vocalist taunts and teases with her sultry brand of ... you lost me and now you’ll regret the things you did or didn’t do until he end of time.

The guitar does heavy work here and sets the tone early without overshadowing before an understated solo that sprinkles some extra magic with a 90s grunge type vibe. Though overall, the musical tone and vocal style feels more like classic and timeless Rock and Roll ”

What really sets them apart is their lyricism: every line is descriptive, painting vivid scenes that make you see the story unfold as you listen.”

Forrest Day - Asinine [Music Video Review]

“Forrest Day perfectly blends hunor, talnet, and a strong sense of self-realization on this track. When you think about it, we are all a bit ‘Asinine.’

AVATARI - Hold On [Music Video Review]

“
AVATARI is a man of many talents. From the screen to the stage he captivates audiences. Musically, this track has a deep Alt Rock vibe that speaks to the damaged soul but also any of us with empathy and compassion coursing through us.

The video for ‘Hold On’ is a cinematic exploration of grief, addiction, and the quiet strength it takes to keep going when the world feels like it’s falling apart. Filmed in Los Angeles, Topanga, and beyond, the video tells three parallel stories of people on the edge — and the moment they choose to hold on instead of give up. It’s a lifeline for anyone in the dark.”
