Hunnypot's favorite ROCK outfit Viagra Boys just released a video to the single "Just Like You". The Street Worms album is just nine tracks long, it's a brilliant and concise portrait of who this Swedish band are. The Viagra Boys album is a brawling collection of scuzzy, yet precise street blues and freaky, often twisted imagery that lifts the listener to a powerful new level.

Hunnypot loves Baby FuzZ and their new Video/Single release "What U Gonna Do 4 Luv" does not disappoint delivering us all a new disco classic.
The music video could best be described as a late night infomercial disco fever dream. Starring Danny Tamberelli (Pete and Pete, The Mighty Ducks), the nesto directed video is a trippy sales pitch for a cure all product called 'luv' that solve all of the viewers' problems. The video builds to a furious pace, culminating in an uneasy and ultimately dark commentary sure to give every red blooded capitalist seizures. Complete with a 90s workout dance crew and twisted Bee Gees style vocals, "What U Gonna Do 4 Luv" is yet another wild and incredible music video from nesto and the Baby FuzZ crew.

"Opium Moon’s debut album is a sublime and sensual brew of strings, percussion and bass that transports the listener to a musically soulful Shangri-La.” – Victoria Looseleaf, ArtNowLA
Sensuous and hypnotic, elegant yet deeply emotional, the music of Opium Moon evokes the mysteries of ancient worlds while remaining thoroughly contemporary. The Los Angeles-based ensemble’s cinematic soundscapes draw upon the virtuosic skills and diverse ethnic backgrounds of its members: Iranian santoor master Hamid Saeidi, innovative Israeli bassist Itai Disraeli, sought-after American percussionist M.B. Gordy, and the exceptionally expressive Canadian-American violinist Lili Haydn, whose passion and fluid mastery of her instrument enchant in every song.
Opium Moon’s eponymous debut album is our now on the Be Why Music label, distributed through ADA/Warner. The video of “Caravan” by Academy Award-nominated Genghis Blues director Roko Beliç debuted on NPR All Songs considered NPR.org. Lili Haydn’s third TED presentation is also live.

“You know those bands that the moment you get to the first chorus of their first song you realize, holy f*ck, they are gonna be HUGE. Introducing, Pacific Radio. With a penchant for big freaking hooks, thundering bass lines and singalong choruses, they remind me of The Killers, Weezer, the Airborne Toxic Event, Eagles of Death Metal and early Foo Fighters all poured into one flaming mojito.”
~Keith Creighton (Pop Dose)
Pacific Radio is a sonic collision of energetic garage rock with L.A. heartbreak. It's origins can be traced back to when Joe Robinson (singer/ guitar) and Joe Stiteler (bass) left L.A. punk band The Ringers in search of a more dynamic sound and space. The duo grew to a quartet with the addition of Kyle Biane (Guitar) and Hyke Shirinian (Drums). Stiteler, Biane and Shirinian created the perfect backdrop for Robinson’s catchy melodies.
After the release of their debut EP, 2017 saw the band hit the road with their wildly charismatic live show. From their home base in L.A. to Austin to Seattle to Napa’s Bottlerock Music Festival, the band began winning over fans from festivals to dive bars.
Between tour dates, the band retreated to the studio with Grammy nominated engineer and producer, Eric Weaver, putting the finishing touches on their upcoming full length album “Pretty, but Killing Me”. They diligently transformed their songs from wild rock show crowd-pleasers into a meticulously crafted record inspired by their heroes.
"Pacific Radio is a band that listeners will fall in love with from their Pop Rock to Punk Rock tempos and upbeat sound. Even with a theme around heartache and love each song has its own sound and style.” ~Alexis Coleman (Side Stage Magazine)
"...even though I hadn’t heard a single song from this band, their performance had me dancing like a maniac before the first song even finished" ~Kylie Banks (The Music Court)

Michete's new song "I Cannot Survive" feat. Raven Hollywood and DoNormaal" will make you want to lay back and just chill. Michete's honest lyrics about her feelings towards being high, are real, authentic, and a reflection of troubles people face in society today. Michete tackles issues of depression, suicidal thoughts, and drug abuse. Raven Hollywood, and DoNormaal bring hypnotizing vibes to the track. Both of their unique melodies really take the listeners for a ride down the emotional moods that these artists are feeling.
When Michete calls herself an underground pop star, one doesn’t just need to take her at her word. The emcee, singer, and producer doesn’t have an official full-length album out yet, though she does have plenty of recordings (she dropped her Cool Tricks 3 EP last year), and has already played multiple sold-out shows supporting acts like cupcakKe and Shamir. Originally from Spokane, Michete’s made a name for herself as the performer to see at events aimed at large audiences.
Hunnypot can't survive without the artistic genius of Michete!

Sheila Nicholls’ first brush with fame was when she streaked into public consciousness in an act of radical self exposure. Live at a Lords cricket match between England and Australia at the Ashes in 1989 she did naked cartwheels propelling herself onto the front pages of the tabloids in Britain and much of the commonwealth.
It was her first feminist action.
She was 19 and a few months later she went to stay with a friend in LA and didn’t go home. No one had even heard of A levels. Fantastic.
She has released three critically acclaimed albums: Brief Strop (1999), Wake (2002), and Songs From the Bardo (2009). In each album, smattered between songs of desire and yearning, are rousing feminist fantasies, testimonies to the failure of war, commentaries on the ridiculousness of worldwide chest-beating, anthems to the freedom gained if we just rewrote our collective mythology, and the personal eternal journey to rewrite one’s own.
Lyrically unique, she is propelled by a singular voice that is alternately confronting and magnetic The guardian has said ‘she sounds like a cross between Liz Phair and Kate Bush’ while the LA weekly remarked ‘she has a battery acid wit, a fierce rebellious streak and is just plain seductive.’
Hollywood records distributed her first, and it made it to the US college Top Ten Billboard chart in 2000. The track ‘Fallen for you’ is featured in the film and on the soundtrack of High Fidelity.
Her second record ‘Wake’ was a studio album where she collaborated with a team including Glen Ballard, Jez Colin, Mike Elezondo, and Ozomatli. She toured extensively, opening for KD Lang, and playing her song ‘Faith,’ which hit the Billboard top 40, on the Tonight show with Jay Leno.
Her third, ‘Songs from the Bardo’ was a medley a few years in the making, after having a daughter– it was back to the home studio scene, self- written, played, engineered and produced, mostly.
Having moved thru the corporate music world and kept her integrity intact, Sheila has a new record:
“All of Nature- a collection of social commentary to music”
in which she connects what’s completely personal to what’s not limited in time at all, with the underlying premise that consciousness is itself a bigger crucible than matter.
In this self produced project, including co-writes with Michael Bernard Beckwith and Dave Stringer, she defies genre, as the record also dips into the literary arena, with each lyric being accompanied by an additional commentary and forum on her website.
She petitions us to quarry, contemplate, and take action to blow through the masks and the conditions behind the conditions. To expose ourselves to ourselves and solve all the world’s problems right now. Because actually it would be quite simple to do so.
For this task she conjured up a Superband calling upon the skills of Kaveh Rastegar— standup bass (with John Legend), Jebin Bruni— keys (with Meshell Ndegeocello), Chris Bruce on guitar (also Meshell Ndegeocello.), Danny Frankel on drums (with Fiona Apple), Gary Novak on drums (with Alanis Morrisette), Walt Fowler on trumpet (with James Taylor) and Mitch Forman on piano (with Wayne Shorter). Engineered by Pete Min, who has also recorded and mixed Meshell’s last two records.

Irrepressible Nottingham electro-punk duo Sleaford Mods have unveiled 'Kebab Spider', a scathing single drawn from their upcoming fifth studio album Eton Alive. Vocalist Jason Williamson's razor-sharp rap / spoken wordplay comes across like an even more rough 'n' ready John Cooper Clarke, while production maestro Andrew Fearn's playful loops are surprisingly club-friendly this time around. Set on a bustling dancefloor, Williamson spits out unsentimental rhymes taking aim at shallow showbiz careerists and lazy thinkers in the accompanying video directed by Roger Sargent.
Sleaford Mods are an English electronic punk music duo formed in 2007 in Nottingham The band features vocalist Jason Williamson and, since 2012, musician Andrew Fearn. They are known for their abrasive, minimalist musical style and embittered explorations of austerity era Britain, culture, and working class life, delivered in Williamson's thick East Midlands accent.The duo have released several albums to critical praise.

The Chemical Brothers have slowly been releasing new singles from their upcoming album No Geography, and now the duo is back with “Got to Keep On,” the third single from the release following their songs “MAH” and “Free Yourself.” The latest single arrives with the album art, tracklist, and release date for the full-length album, which drops on April 12 via Astralwerks. “Got to Keep On” offers a bit of psychedelic, synth-driven production, with repeated chants of the song’s namesake.
The duo’s last album Born in the Echoes was released in 2015. They played numerous festival dates this summer and stopped by Annie Mac’s BBC Radio show to premiere something called the “Hottest Record in the World.” Last June, they released a cover of Tim Buckley’s song “I Never Asked to Be Your Mountain.” "Got to keep on" is the perfect song to dance to with your friends and we can't get enough!
