SIX GOING ON SEVEN was and is a highly influential band that helped define a genre that bridged the gap between hardcore influenced emo and indie-rock. With their complex bass, guitar harmonies and sincere vocals, they were a force to be reckoned with. Often referred to as a “band’s band”, Six Going on Seven came up alongside many of the household names we still discuss from the era: Jimmy Eat World, Hot Water Music, The Get Up Kids, sharing the stage with them and many others. Josh has continued creating music since SGOS ended, with an amazing array of solo albums and now onto his new band ATTEMPT SURVIVORS. Attempt Survivors is compromised of a who's who in the scene, guitarists Adam Marino and Matthew Kane, drummer Kyle Stevenson, and vocalist J. English of bands Saetia, Helmet, Six Going on Seven, and Errortype:11.

For more than a decade, a life-affirming spell seems to enchant every audience the band plays to. It’s why THE STRIKE have been booked for weeks-long residencies from Dubai (at the behest of music legend Quincy Jones) to China (at the massive Qingdao Beer Festival). Back home, they have an appeal that’s lured some fans to travel across continents to see them, and others to get Strike-themed tattoos. Music supervisors have followed in kind, using their songs on Dancing With the Stars, America’s Got Talent, and Netflix’s To All The Boys I've Loved Before. Which is to say: If the name The Strike doesn’t ring a bell, there’s a good chance you’ve actually heard their music.
None of this good fortune is lost on the L.A.-based group, which also includes drummer Jay Tibbitts and singer Chris Crabb. And this is why their third album, A Dream Through Open Eyes (out October 4th, Nettwerk), was created with the goal of capturing this phenomenon of intoxicating folks wherever they go.

The decade-long journey of Southern California recording artist Presence (a.k.a.
Jonathon Martinez) began as a therapeutic exercise to help an anxious, insular 12-year-old discover their true sense of self. Martinez’s aspirations for both confession and catharsis evoke his roots as a rap fan in Camarillo, California.
Starting at the age of 14, Martinez snuck his first “Presence Raps” video onto the internet, freestyling over “Ten Toes” by BubbaGotBeatz which got him grounded when his parentsfound out. Not long after, Presence went truly viral for the first time with a remix of XXXTentacion’s “Jocelyn Flores,” the success of which placed him at a crossroads, where he had to decide whether his music was a lark or a true artistic pursuit. Now, after building his fanbase as a true DIY auteur with two dozen singles, over 100 million streams, and delivering a TEDTalk titled “The Power of Authenticity and the Internet,” the difference between Jonathon Martinez and Presence lies in a newfound confidence to open his artistic process to collaboration. The story told on his new body of work resonates on a truly personal level, claiming a bold future for Presence.

Graham Ereaux, who makes music under the alias, Devarrow, is a Canadian musician and producer celebrated for his songs reflecting on small-town joys, personal introspection, environmental and social concerns, and(on this new album)the unique love affair with his converted school bus turned music studio. Despite his seemingly bustling life in rural coastal Canada as a carpenter, surfer, and nature lover, his latest album, Heart Shaped Rock, defies any notion of musical complacency. Opening with the lines, “Every morning I just wake up and I just wash my face. Go downstairs and make some breakfast, coffee and some bacon and eggs,” there cord offers a refreshing take on life's simple pleasures, injecting vitality into a folk genre that can often lean towards melancholy. Devarrow's music is a heartfelt ode to rural life, drawing inspiration from his activities, interests and shared communal moments. Rooted in a deep appreciation for simplicity, he finds solace in stepping away from technology, relishing the quiet moments with morning coffee by his wood stove, and expressing his thoughts on a vintage typewriter. This record is a poignant exploration of the beauty found in life's simple pleasures, influenced by the wisdom of literary works such as "The Unsettling of America" and "The Encyclopedia of Country Living." Through Heart Shaped Rock, Devarrow enthusiastically embraces the mission to revitalize the folk genre, acknowledging his own troubled relationship with it. It is a captivating journey through love, loss, and self-discovery. The title track epitomizes the album's core theme, finding beauty in life's simplicity. Throughout the album, three songs feature toe-tapping whistling, while others incorporate tambourine, shaker, and an upbeat tempo, creating an atmosphere that feels light and airy amid the prevailing tones of folk music. Underneath its friendly and accessible folk-pop facade, Heart Shaped Rock retains moments of profound introspection. Personal stories unfold, from the poignant "Pictures" to the metaphorical love affair with solitude in “Bus Baby.” The album navigates emotions, from the abstract lyricism of “Falling Into Pieces” to the social commentary of “Help Me,” addressing climate and social collapse. At the core of Devarrow's music lies vulnerable lyrics, offering an unfiltered yet relatable glimpse into the life of a millennial navigating meaning in small-town Canada. Rather than shying away from the depth of folk music, Devarrow navigates it with respect and a desire to bring new perspective to the genre, along with a hope that we all somehow, get to a place where we collectively care less about things that don’t actually matter, while somehow caring more about things that do.

From oblivion to chaos; ride the change. For DIVIDED HEAVEN singer-songwriter Jeff Berman, much has changed since the release of 2022's Oblivion: a relocation from Hollywood, California to Lancaster, Pennsylvania, two new children, a new career in the music industry that isn't touring 6 months out of the year, dare-we-say... normalcy. When the road-warrior Jeff Berman parked the tour van in favor of established residence, the change brought a fresh perspective to Berman, his songwriting and his approach to art. This change in songwriting trades tropes of unity, decency and politeness for the vitriolic, the dirty, and the politically fierce; as clearly exemplified in the provocative new single "Living Funeral". "Living Funeral" wastes no time introducing itself with palm-muted guitars as the song chugs along with force putting Jamie Woolford's amazing production on display. It's quite the departure from the tranquil approach on Oblivion and using rock and roll as the vehicle to get its message out feels very intentional.
