Do you know someone who is always negative? Who always makes you feel like you will never get anywhere? Who always feel comfortable judging the status of others, even though he/she isn't going anywhere?
Independent rock n' roll band from Essex, The Bohicas, just came out with their debut album. We loved the song and video for Swarm.
Afternoon's Say Yes video is a touching exploration of an immigrant's search for joy in his everyday work in America. The lyrics of Say Yes are in stark contrast to the actions of the protagonist in this video. Afternoons advocates staying in and not going out at night, while the protagonist is out and about selling flowers with joy at night.
Use this song as an anthem in your daily life to be motivated and positive! Take a listen now.
We are excited that the talented Breakfast will be performing at our Labor Day Hunnypot Event on September 7th! In anticipation, we will be featuring three Breakfast videos. Let's start with one of our favorites, Sofia.
The good vibes began with head honcho Hot Tub Johnnie's show opening set which contained a deftly daft mix of next level rockabilly (Bop Kings), modern rock (Whisky Stain) and trendy picks (Kiiara, The Preatures) and left-of-center staples such as “Take The Skinheads Bowling” by Camper Van Beethoven, after which Abby North of North Music Group dropped in to give us the unchained story on the career of super composer Alex North. Not only did she treat us to an expertly curated listening session that included excerpts from classic North-composed scores from films such as "Spartacus", "A Street Car Named Desire", "Cleopatra", and "Who's Afraid Of Virginia Woolf?", but also an inside looks at the original recording of the now legendary "Unchained Melody".
After a look at North Music past, we delved into their present and future with an interview and live performance from Ainjel Emme, featuring an emotionally moving performance of her newest single, "Machine". Once the stage was set for the night, British bombshell Tamar Leek and her band Reveries took the energy to the next level, passing the baton to Little Fortune, and while there were no sons of sitting U.S. Senators in the audience, we were all most definitely fortunate for sticking around the party because Madus closed down the night with a scorching set that included soaring vocals and searing guitars. If you missed out, there's always another time to play! We'll be back on September 7th with live sets from Breakfast, Pr0files, and Hot Sauce Holiday. 08/24/2015
North Music Group LLC is a multi-faceted music media company that functions as a music publisher, music supervision firm, & record label.
Songwriter / Multi-Intstrumentalist / Studio Rat / Lefty-Who-Plays-Righty Ainjel Emme grew up on a steady diet of analog rock, late night living room jams, 4 track cassette recordings, and interstate highways. Thus far in her delicately blooming solo career, Ainjel has written and produced two independent albums (HEARTACHE IS BORING and EVERYONE IS BEAUTIFUL).
Tamar Leek of Birmingham, England, is in Los Angeles mixing her seven-song EP, "Change In The Retrograde," with her band Reveries. Tamar served a stint in a British all-girl band, hosted music interviews for Vulture TV, and studied as a tattoo artist, before being persuaded to come to LA by a couple of producers who overheard her singing to herself in a London pizza parlor. As it turned out, Tamar not only had a beautiful voice, she also had roots in hard rock and quite a lot to say. The songs on the album, co-written with the band and producer Sejo Navajas, are elegant and painful, lyrically striking a continued metaphor about the betrayal of technology to our human selves, the struggle of analog love in a digital world. Jose Alcantar (Interscope, American Idol) is mixing "Change In The Retrograde," which was recorded at 4th Street Recording. It features newly released 'Satellite control', and their pre-release single "Lullaby" which earned a #4 spot on ReverbNation's Rock Chart, and was #8 on Scuzz TV's Chart of "The Hottest Videos in the World," not to mention the only unsigned band on the list.
Little Fortune is a new project started by L.A. based musicians Doran Danoff, Yonatan, and Jorge Balbi.

"Growth and evolving as an artist" are the two things that the L.A. native Haze says keep driving him to deliver new music for his core following. The 26 year old says he's putting the final touches on his forthcoming project, he says a lots happened in his life in the time between he released his last full length project titled "Young Man's World" and after a listen to some of the featured records that fact is evident.

North Carolina veteran band, American Aquarium, headlined at the historic Troubadour in West Hollywood earlier this week. We were impressed by the heartfelt "Man I'm supposed to be", sung by the band's frontman BJ Barham. In a nostalgic mood? Watch the video above.
Fun Fact: See if you can spot a couple of Pixar characters in the video.
2015. The number. Another summer. Sound of a funky drummer. And they still got soul.
Please allow them to introduce themselves, though chances are you already know. They're men of wrath and taste, their collective fingers on the pulse of the bass, how low they go is subject to the new depths of their own personal terrordome - but all these twisted words and similes are just our way to welcome back Public Enemy.
This group is legend, and they're continuing their exploits in a brand new hour of chaos. Listen up or miss out. The choice is yours.
Alternative R&B vocalist and songwriter Kelela was raised in suburban Maryland and didn't have aspirations as a singer until she started studying jazz. Subsequent obsessions with Amel Larrieux and Little Dragon helped push her toward finding her own style -- one she found after she moved to Los Angeles. She connected with Teengirl Fantasy and contributed to the duo's Tracer album on the song "EFX." This led to meeting the Fade to Mind label's Prince William, who exposed her to his associates' lean yet sharp and deep productions. Knocked out by what she heard, she provided vocals for Kingdom's August 2013 single "Bank Head" (taken from the Vertical XL EP). With contributions from Fade to Mind and Night Slugs producers such as Kingdom, Bok Bok, Girl Unit, Jam City, and Nguzunguzu, Kelela sought to make a mixtape of tracks that sounded like remixes. The release, titled Cut 4 Me, was issued in October 2013 as a free download through Fade to Mind. It was one of the year's more striking debuts.
