Bruce Cohen | FOUR BC

Bruce Cohen | FOUR BC
I spent the weekend listening to a new album from Bruce Cohen. It's rare to come across a musician that has such a deep vision for music and can captivate the sound around you. This new album is going to transport you out of your ordinary day-to-day mentality and take you to place in your mind has been waiting for you to visit. A place where you can let your imagination run wild and break free from the repetition of life.

Right off the press of the play button, you're greeted by the uplifting rhythms of the premier track, "HAUS."  This track will get you in the groove and set the mood for album. It is so important for the first track to set the mood of the album and this track has all the right ingredients for a lead-off track. You'll find depth in the music that reaches far beyond the capabilities of your stereo system. Four BC is an instrumental journey through the vast untraveled landscape of your mind. Each track takes you soaring across a soundscape that has layers of intricacy rooted deep in rhythm. Once the music starts, your ears will be treated like royalty and bathed in the sonic aura of modern music.

It's not everyday that I come across music that captivates me in such a way that I listen to it on repeat. This album has lasting power and will find a permanent spot in many playlists and music libraries. Fans of Ian Pooley, Broadcast, Moby, BT, and Brian Eno will find this album to be a new juggernaut in their music collection. The undertones of EDM mixed in with the Dance Rhythms will be a perfect fit for any social gathering. Music that can fill a room and not take over the conversation is like a diamond in the rough. Adorn yourself with the sound of Bruce Cohen and get your mind, body, and soul in motion with his new album, FOUR BC.

Endsight | Ghost of John

The funk is alive in the track by Endsightt. Bringing funky rhythm to his rap vibe is gracefully executed by this modern musician. Blending a Western flavor with the funk is not an easy task to achieve. Yet, this track, "Ghost of John," has a groove that will keep you moving through the track and put a lil' hop in your step.

Who knew that John Wayne would influence rap music? Probably no one would have guessed so, but this new track from Endsightt is hot and really gets lodged in your mind. The funk riff combined with the lyrical wizardry sets this track apart from many of the modern tracks that are just pouring out of the Internet these days. It's a relief to have quality musicians that put their heart and soul into their craft. Endsightt has done it again and hopefully will keep doing what he does best. 

Music quality is top notch on this track. Kinda reminds me of a song by Rage Against the Machine, "Ghost of Tom Joad," that came out about 20 years ago. This track has way more funk and definitely has a heavier message. Though there is lots to be said about this new single being released, it's best to hear it for yourself: http://www.cdbaby.com/cd/endsightt2

Track Seven Band | EP Release

Track Seven Band is making waves in the music industry. I'm impressed with the hybrid composition of Rap and Rock. There's even some flavors of Jazz with the piano injections.

Lyrics are the heartbeat of many songs and this band has a lyricist that is pumping the life into the music. Ever since I heard Body Count back in the 90's, I've always been intrigued by the infusion of rock and rap music. There is a balance and a harmony that fuels the fire of emotion for the listeners and the musicians. This band has that same energy and the music is well composed. 

If you like new music and want to vibe to something with a new twist, then this is worth a listen:

Tabitha Elkins | Edge of Nowhere

Tabitha Elkins has released a new single, "Edge of Nowhere" for her new album. The song has a vintage Janis Joplin feel that has waves of emotion packed into the music. Her lyrics convey deep emotion and bring a meaningful perspective to how life can affect all of us. The funky bass line drives the track and gets your foot tapping to the rhythm. 

She is a determined musician that pours every bit of her soul into the music. The ambiance of the music sets the stage for the dramatic performance and envelopes the message. This song has a great Motown rhythm similar to Bonnie Raitt & Sheryl Crow. Plus the vocals spread across the spectrum just like Bruce Springsteen. Tabitha's music will impress fans of rock, pop, and alternative music.

Production quality is top notch on this album. Tabitha has teamed up with some of the industry's best producers to create a song that will last for many years in the hearts of the world. It is great to have new music with such emotion and production quality and we have Rubicon Media to thank for putting their faith in Tabitha's music. 

Tabitha is a talented musician and played most instruments herself, but also recruited musicians hired from "Fiverr.com" for ukelele, guitar solos and drums. 

"Upside Down World", coming in May 2016 to CD Baby, Apple iTunes, and Amazon. The album features 10 originals, including new version of viral Youtube hit, Candyland. The album is produced by rapper/producer Steffen Jurkat and is being released this May on Mind Guard Records (single release date: April 22, 2016).

Rehya Stevens | Good Man

Music is constantly evolving to a point where the emotion actually becomes a part of the music. In a sense, you can feel the emotion that the artist intends through the words and expression of the voice. Rehya Stevens has masterfully captured an emotion in her music and brought new life to the sound of pop music. The amount of time and dedication that she has invested in her music shows beautifully through her 2013 album release "Vintage Love." There are direct relations to many well-respected musicians who are clearly an influence in Rehya's music. Influences from Stevie Wonder and Madonna are a guiding force on this album, providing great music for fans of Pop/R&B Crossover.

The single, "Good Man" is a great example of where the emotion becomes part of the music. Rehya's lyrics bring introspective thought and feelings into the listener's mind. The perfect way to get emotions embedded in the head of all that hear her music. It's more than a new album that you should put on your list of new artists, this could be one of your regular playlist albums. Take some time to check out the album and download the tracks to your computer for your listening pleasure.

MAKS The Fox | HONEY

MAKS The Fox is an orchestral folk pop band from Chicago, IL. Fans of the Love Me Nots will find MAKS The Fox to be the mellow side of your musical cravings. The music is mellow and elegantly composed with female vocals. One of my favorite things about this style of music is that it has an ancient feel that brings emotions up from deep within my soul. A feeling that most modern music can not induce in me or my soul.

The first single of the album is "Honey" and it has that magic that draws you into the music and creates an imaginary world inside your head. As the music and lyrics guide you through imagination, you start to find yourself forgetting about the world around you and you get immersed in the mood of the music. By far this is one of the best new bands emerging from Chicago, IL. If you're luck enough to live the Chicago area, you need to do yourself a big favor and go see MAKS The Fox perform live.

Next shows are coming up in March 2016
House of blues Chicago - March 16th
2 shows at Ohio university Friday March 11 & Saturday March 12 

Bio from the band's website: 
This creative collective features a unique combination of guitars, keyboard, viola, cello, bass, and drums.  They break away from a more traditional setup and provide their audience with a diverse textural auditory experience.  Singer songwriters Kori Simonson (vocals, guitar, keys) and Marlon Aguilar (vocals, guitar) started as a duo in 2012, and it has gradually grown to include members Sarah Cornish (viola, backup vocals), Rachel Schuldt (cello, bass, backup vocals) and Jacob Fawcett (drums, backup vocals)
Kori & Marlon starting recording songs with Dan Duszynkski (of Gold Motel, Any Kind, & Cross Records) and completed a debut album in 2013 with him.

"From The Deer Forest" will be available in early 2016 and is heavily influenced by the beauty of Chicago.

Eric Borgos | The Wonder Years

Songwriters are the pulse of the music industry. Without them, there would be a huge void in the world of music. Instruments alone cannot convey the passion and emotion that are carried by the composition of lyrics. Some of the most influential songs over history would not have been as popular if not for the deep and striking lyrics that  resonate over and over in the minds of listeners.


Let me introduce you to Eric Borgos, a songwriter that has been gaining momentum and crafting lyrical and musical compositions that are revered by countless fans around the world. His latest creation is "The Wonders Years" and it has the recipe for being a song that will be cherished by a wide range of music lovers. Eric is the genius that crafts the songs and then he finds talented musicians to perform his masterpieces. Chris Davidson performed this particular song and it has the sound that it duly deserves. Fans of the 90's music will find a resonating similarity in sound and composition with this track. For your soft rock playlist, this is an excellent addition.

Music will come and go in our lives, but certain songs have lasting power that follow us for the entire ride. "The Wonder Years" just may be one of those songs that follows you for a long time. Sit back and listen to the audio bliss created by Eric and Chris. I'm sure you'll find that the music gets down in your soul and finds a way to lighten your mood.

STV | Hidden In The Dark

STV has released a new single and it is every bit as good as expected. STV has formulated a new craft of sound that leaves a lasting impression on the world.

Music can be deeply emotional and connect to the psyche of the human soul. STV's new track, "Hidden in the Dark," has the elements that make you replay the music over and over in your head. The track has the undertones of Nine Inch Nails with the class and elegance of David Bowie's vocal approach. There is space and depth in the music that has vast landscapes of imagination. Locked away in tone of the notes are the electrical charges of motion that spawn the travel of creativity.

Though many musicians plateau in their careers, STV has elevated the sound and brought a new image to music. The new album SOS is a phenomenal addition to the STV lineage of music. The cover of Marilyn Manson's "ROCK IS DEAD" is a new look at the creativity of STV and the genius of Manson's lyrics. Well worth a listen.

Be sure to check out the new track:

The Oengus Projekt | Red Skies

The imaginary realm of music is one of majesty and beauty. The Oengus Projekt has recently started work on a new album that will bring the fantasy world of musical imagination back to the world. The first track released from the album is "Red Skies" and it has the flare of wonder and the elegance that Enya brought to the music industry. This album has great potential to be a bright light among the mass produced music of modern society. 

From the first note, I felt tones of surrealism envelop my ears and bring me to a new state of mind. Just as my Pink Floyd albums have done so many times when I need to unwind and escape the repetition of the day to day tasks that loom. "Red Skies" has a fresh new approach to music and the organic feel of the lyrics just blends into the music and brings a new feel to the texture of the sound. A texture that lures you to close your eyes and drift away in to the depths of your own mind. Music like this is so precious and has a deep spiritual connection with our subconsciousness. It helps the hidden side of our minds bloom and reach out to the light.

Take a moment to listen to the new sounds from The Oengus Projekt. They're French Musicians that find influences from all corners of the globe.

Red Martian | Slow Motion Samurai

Seattle has a booming music scene and one of the bands that is making headway is Red Martian. The new album, SLOW MOTION SAMURAI, is just another crowning achievement for the seasoned musicians.

The album is like a fine martini that has been shaken, not stirred. There are tones of elegance in the vintage riffs of the guitars. Yet, the album has a remarkably strong modern feel to the composition of the music. Just as bands like Weezer broke ground on establishing a new style of an already popular genre, so does Red Martian take the listener to new heights.

The avant-garde emotion of the album kept me in another frame of mind as each track pulled a new emotion from my consciousness. I like music to travel and move me from the mundane repetition of everyday life. I really like the journey that SLOW MOTION SAMURAI takes me on when I get a moment to zone-out and just sink into the music. A great album for driving, entertaining guests, or just chilling on the beach watching the waves roll in. My favorite track on the album is track #2, Emeraldas. It has a classic sound of the 1970's with the drive and power of modern rock.

SLOW MOTION SAMURAI is currently available for only $6 on Bandcamp.  Go and listen to the album for free on the Bandcamp page. Support musicians by purchasing their music. This is an album that is worthy of multiple plays on your stereo.

The New Position | NOT

Emerging from the carnage of over-saturated media is a difficult thing to do. With so many online radio stations and mobile apps that are streaming music non-stop to the public, it can be very difficult to find good music. I've created this blog to feature some of the musicians that you may have missed in the shuffle.

One band that rises to the top of my list as one of the greatest unknown bands is THE NEW POSITION. As a child of the late 80's and early 90's, I grew up listening to some of the most influential hard rock and alternative music that has shaped our modern society. Bands like Soundgarden, Nirvana, Nine Inch Nails, and Metallica are all staples of what paved the way for modern contemporary rock music.

TNP has reinvented the simplicity of heavy rock music with the delicate touch of female vocals. TNP's music of heavy guitar riffs that shred your soul and drum beats that kick you into next week are what lay the foundation for this impressive trio.

Modest Goddess layers her thought provoking vocals over this hard rock music with such grace and elegance. Lyrics that get stuck in your head are the best kind because they strike a chord with your soul. MG's lyrics and vocal talent are not to be over-looked. This band is a hidden gem in the mass confusion of today's music industry. I predict it is only a matter of time before TNP becomes world famous and takes the crown as the reigning hard rock band of this coming decade.

STV | VCR

A midst the sea of indie musicians, there are a few that come along and captivate the world. STV is a musician that strikes a deep chord with melody and emotion. Front man, Steve Counts, has the purity of a musician that connects on a spiritual level with his own songs. A connection that is starting to become more and more rare as pop music evolves.

The music on his recent album, "VCR," is a collection of tunes that are crafted with lyrics from the subconscious and bring imagination back into everyday life. It is hard to believe that these tracks almost didn't see the light of day.

Songs like "Suburban Function" resonate with the day-to-day life that so many of us experience in this modern world of constant responsibility. Another track, "Love is a Wild Bird," has the elegance of a contemporary ballad for fans of acoustic music. The magic is in the lyrics and the refined delivery of the vocal tracks.

Fans of BECK, Ween, U2, Macy Playground, The Flamming Lips, & Nick Drake will love the music of STV.
