POPMATTERS premieres HOLLIS BROWN “Don’t Want to Miss You”

ALIVE0178_RSD

New York’s Hollis Brown is masterful in their approach to American roots music, with the band drawing from rock ‘n’ roll, soul, country, and a bit of blues. Hollis Brown inhabits these musical forms with a surprising degree of naturalness given their youth and they look to become a seminal figure in the thriving and growing Americana scene. The band’s latest release, Cluster of Pearls, released last Record Store Day and now they have a brand new single to share, the uber soulful, deeply moving “Don’t Want to Miss You”, which channels some Otis Redding and Gram Parsons, as well as the heartbreak from a painful breakup. – READ THE FEATURE AND LISTEN TO THE SONGS HERE

You can pre-order the new MINI LP CLUSTER OF PEARLS at iTunes, and also catch the band on tour in the South and Mid-Atlantic from now through the end of August.

Great review of RADIO MOSCOW “Live! In California” from PERFORMER MAG

Live! In California is an excellent document of how Radio Moscow sounds live and captures the band at their artistic peak.

The album kicks off with high adrenaline starting with the song “I Just Don’t Know.” This a solid track, but the set really heats up when the band plays “250 Miles/Brain Cycles.” These are the best live renditions of the two songs – on “Brain Cycles,” the group ventures into the musical stratosphere and rocket to the next level. It’s the most trippy and experimental version of the song and much different from the studio version, which is highly pleasing itself. From there, the album only gets better. – READ THE REVIEW HERE

JAMES LEG premieres “Hugging The Line” via NO DEPRESSION

ALIVE0184

If you’re a fan of gunnite gypsy punk with a rocksteady back beat, James Leg is your eternal ediface. There is nothing like a Leg record and there never will be, no one plays like him, no one growls like him, and certainly no one rocks like him. He’s a world travelled stalwart and will be forever a gem in the Blues crown. – Scott Zuppardo / NO DEPRESSION REVIEW HERE

Great review of LEFT LANE CRUISER “Beck In Black” from ELMORE Magazine

ALIVE0179_RSD-w

Six previously unreleased songs are stuffed into a collection originally released for Record Store Day as an exclusive metallic gold vinyl pressing. But, Beck in Black doesn’t need such fancy window dressing. Not with guitarist and vocalist Freddy J IV exercising his God-given right to fire off blasts of wicked, distorted riffs at will – as he does in a bruising “Chevrolet” – and indulge in slide-guitar mayhem, like that of “Circus,” a freewheeling party as raucous as any thrown by the Faces. – Peter Lindblad / READ THE ENTIRE REVIEW HERE
