(Video)

“A WeLive Festival release, ‘Let It Flow’ by the Matt Woosey band is a brilliant, energetic live performance by a very talented multi-piece band. Bluesy, Funky, Jazzy & at times laid back. The verse has a Doobie Brothers (Long Train Running) vibe. The guitars are superb as are the gritty solo, & soulful harmony vocals. This is a great band in ‘Full Flow.’”

WeLive Festival releases concert film with Matt Woosey Band

https://www.mattwoosey.co.uk/

The German concert film series “WeLive Festival” will release its eighth episode on May 23. A first part of the movie – the video to the song “Let It Flow” – is now released. The protagonist of the approximately 45-minute film is the musician Matt Woosey, who has already been nominated three times for the British Blues Award, with his eight-piece blues/folk formation “Matt Woosey Band.”

“It was a very special opportunity for the Matt Woosey Band to come together during Corona to do something creative and just play together again”, Matt Woosey explained after the filming. Due to the Corona pandemic, the band had not performed together on stage for over a year. Due to sanitation measures to protect against the Corona virus, the filming took place in private and without an audience in front of ten cameras. “Playing without an audience is a strange thing, but the whole team and everyone from Rockwerkstatt Lahr came together to make it a fantastic day,” Woosey thanked the organizers. “Thanks to everyone involved and the guys in the band.”

The WeLive Festival has already been releasing high-quality concert film productions featuring artists from a wide range of genres since May 2020. For example, progressive rock band Dead Venus, classical pianist Pervez Mody, singer-songwriter Dominik Büchele and heavy metal band OIL have already performed in front of the 10 to 15 cameras of the production company punchline studio. In 2020, the concert film series was awarded the German Rock&Pop Prize for the promotion of music culture. Currently, “WeLive” is also nominated for the prestigious nationwide “alternative media award”.

Wegen der Corona-Pandemie hatte die Band über ein Jahr lang nicht gemeinsam auf der Bühne gestanden. Wegen der Hygienemaßnahmen zum Schutz vor dem Corona-Virus fanden die Dreharbeiten unter Ausschluss der Öffentlichkeit und ohne Publikum statt.

“Ohne Publikum zu spielen ist eine seltsame Sache, aber das ganze Team und alle von der Rockwerkstatt Lahr kamen zusammen, um einen fantastischen Tag zu gestalten”, bedankte sich Woosey bei den Veranstaltern. “Danke an alle Beteiligten und die Jungs in der Band.”

El Gant, Ras Kass, Planet Asia – Chromed Out
(Spotify)

“Wicked rhymes of Hip-Hop suddenly burst out of the speakers and alternate our reality status. El Gant is back and not alone at this time! The result is better than expected and burns like fire. Work with attitude and personal touch.”

-Nagamag.com

It’s been nearly seven years since his previous solo album, but El Gant is back with a banger of a new single, “Chromed Out,” featuring frequent collaborators Ras Kass and Planet Asia, over J57’s hard-hitting production with cuts supplied by DJ Jon Doe.

https://twitter.com/ElGant

To be fair, Gant hasn’t been completely quiet since 2014’s Beast Academy LP. For one, he’s one third of the Jamo Gang with Ras and J57, and they’ve dropped a number of acclaimed projects (peep 2020’s Walking With Lions). But with the release of “Chromed Out,” the NYC rap vet is back on his solo tip to get the world ready for his forthcoming new album, O.S.L.O., which is set to feature Killah Priest, Bobby J From Rockaway, King Magnetic, and more, as well as production supplied by the legendary DJ Premier and Marco Polo, among others.

https://www.instagram.com/elgant

Gant is fired up on this track, spitting equally ferocious and witty bars, like “I’m on a mission/ Half the caucasian rappers I came up in the game with done changed into Peter Griffin.” His two guests, Ras and Planet Asia, are on fire, too, with mean-mugging rhymes that complement J57’s head-nodding and raw instrumental.

“Chromed Out” is available now through all major digital retailers and streaming platforms. Be on the lookout for more info on O.S.L.O., which is due out in the fourth quarter of 2021 through Gant’s own Rule By Secrecy imprint.

Kaeley Jade – Painless
(Video)

“The perfect combination of some deeply emotional vocals and groovy riff sounds, can be found in this recent release from “Kaeley Jade”. “Painless” is one of those songs that can be used to express ourselves when we feel affected by negative behaviours.”

-Nagamag.com

Canadian indie pop artist Kaeley Jade is excited to announce the release of her new single ‘Painless’ on all digital platforms.

Produced by the Juno-nominated team at Velveteen Music https://www.velveteenaudio.com/, ‘Painless’, dances through the nuclear fallout of a relationship gone awry. Inspired by artists like Vance Joy and Maggie Rogers, ‘Painless’ is filled to the brim with shimmering hooks, velvety vocals and groovy riffs. Both cynical and celebratory, the Métis artist disguises a deep emotional rawness in a crisp and vibrant package of indie pop.

“In a lot of ways, ‘Painless’ is a continuation of the story I had told in my debut single, ‘Years Ago’,” says Kaeley. “All of my songs are sparked from my own personal experiences, and in this case, I had more to say on that particular chapter of my life. Where ‘Years Ago’ looks wistfully into the past at what could have been, ‘Painless’ is a seer’s look into a dystopian future. I wrote it as a reminder to myself to always trust my instincts, because some things just aren’t worth the pain that comes with pursuing them, as tempting as they might be.”

Also released is the colourful and creatively shot video for ‘Painless’. Kaeley explains: “The pandemic really forced us to get creative with how we shot the video. While I had always envisioned a project that combined my skills as a multidisciplinary artist, figuring out how to achieve that while being forced to work with a lot of limitations proved to be an exciting challenge. We shot the entire video in a mock studio we built in my dad’s shop, and we had a very small crew on set, with my cohort doing most of the helping out.”

Since dropping her debut single in January 2020, Kaeley has been making waves in the Canadian music scene. After a strong community response, ‘Years Ago’ was added to the regular rotation on 102.3 NOW! in Edmonton and her music has been featured on Spotify editorial playlists including: New Music Friday, New Music Friday Canada and Fresh Finds. Kaeley’s music has also been played on Indigenous radio stations across North America, and her single, ‘Highway 16’, broke the Indigenous Music Countdown Top 10.

Kaeley Jade’s new single ‘Painless’ is available now on Spotify, Apple Music/iTunes, and other digital retailers and streaming services worldwide. For more info, please visit https://kaeleyjade.com/

No Signal – P S D (Spotify)

No Signal – P S D
(Spotify)

“"No Signal" created something more than impressive for us. Epic sound with all the meaning of the word. Starting with a soft and etherial touch, "PSD" gradually raises its level of power with vocals that make you hold your breath! ”

-Nagamag.com

A portal into the No Signal world is through a highly conceptual, darkly theatrical, and genre-defying music. Once you enter this captivating universe of sound you’re granted access to a realm of thought-provoking concepts, thrilling narratives, mesmerizing visuals rife with symbolism, and captivating videos. No Signal’s upcoming single “P S D” out January 21, 2021, features a chilling vocal masterpiece that conjures themes from previous releases, as if to mark an end to this era of No Signal, and the spawning of anew.

“No Signal should be an immersive experience with stories and concepts. It’s way more than just the music. My goal is to create a realm of art that truly accentuates just how far you can go with it, and to bring back intelligent music, and make people feel things they haven’t felt before, something words can’t be put to” shares the Boulder, Colorado-based artist. “I take this work very seriously.”

https://www.facebook.com/No-Signal-996061243922398/

No Signal officially released its first EP in February 2018, and, in two years, has released two singles, an EP and a full-length debut album. Riley writes and sings every lyric, every piece of music, and plays every instrument on his recordings. He also storyboards each release, sometimes writing many pages to flesh out his ideas, and he currently has the next 6 albums mapped out. It’s a prolific and weighty outpouring of music from an 18 year old.

Between albums, No Signal releases standalone EPs which are a respite from the LP mindset. These are experimental in music and concept, and they are often independent of No Signal’s established thematic territory.

It’s hard to pin down an epiphany that led a 14-year-old boy to set out to explore the grand artistic statements that permeate No Signal. The facts are that Riley grew up in a musical household, but never took music seriously until he was 14. At that time, a flood devastated his family’s house, warping all the guitars his father owned. Riley and his father went through the lengthy process of restoring each guitar and on that last remaining instrument, Riley began exploring music, and, from there, he began to organically branch out and taught himself to play other instruments.

https://www.instagram.com/4no3signal2/

At first, his tastes encompassed the pop music of the day, but hearing aggressively emotive music shifted his perspective. Discovering Tool was epiphanic for Riley as it showed him music could be a fluid form of creativity. Tool also showed him the power of narratives and symbolism as part of a music package. Soon after his Tool transformation, Riley set out on a journey to establish his own world of creativity. He soon realized that communicating his vision to others was almost futile. So, he began a solitary artistic pursuit as No Signal.

“P S D” is an eerily ethereal track which features melodically foreboding keyboards, thrilling vocals, and an imaginative ambient arrangement. The songs opening conjures calming yet captivating keyboards and ambience which weave appropriately into the falsetto vocals that Riley had yet to present until this very track. Although “P S D” is a far departure from his hard hitting songs like Idée Fixe and The Hunger, Riley always manages to weave his signature style on every one of his songs that to make it distinctly “No Signal”

Danni Baylor – Previews
(Spotify)

“Bursting with witty lyrics, irresistible melodies & a captivating beat, Danni Baylor’s latest single ‘Previews’ showcases her alluring, engaging, unique vocal tone & style. The song is based on the concept of being able to ‘Preview’ a relationship before making a commitment, to avoid sorrow & regret. This vibrant, harmoniously rich track has ‘Hit’ written all over it.”

-Nagamag.com

Danni Baylor’s Newest single “Previews” was released on May 4, 2021 is a brewing Alt/Pop hit just waiting to be discovered. The song has a universally relatable message along with infectious melodies and a dynamic beat that will have you vibing from beginning to end. Previews is an allegorical take on wishing you could watch relationships go wrong before they actually do. Danni refers to the relationship as a “Movie” and artistically winks at her listeners with this witty concept accompanied by her gritty “in your face” tone. The song is somewhat of an “inside joke” to her listeners because it says what many people wish they could do before going down an emotionally detrimental road... Watch the previews and prevent it!
