Blayne B. – “Alright”

One of the best things about working with indie artists nowadays is that the internet has all but shattered the paradigm that brilliant artists are only found in major cities. The truth is there is incredible art being made everywhere, and it’s inspiring to live in a time where you can write a song and get it out to the world with little more than a laptop. 22-year-old Blayne B. lives in Great Bend, a small town in Kansas with a population of just under 16,000. Releasing his first single at just 12 years old, he’s spent the past decade prolifically writing songs exploring themes of intimacy, identity, anxiety, substance abuse, and depression. Equally adept at both rapping and singing and with a talent for melody far beyond his years, Blayne’s music doesn’t fit neatly into any one genre.

Nate Rose – “By Myself”

Nate Rose doesn’t need anyone’s help. Seriously, you could throw the prefix “self” in front of just about anything and it would apply: -written, -produced, -mixed, -mastered, -released, -managed-, -promoted, -published, -incorporated, and certainly not least of all -confident. In his newest release “By Myself”, this dapper rapper vents some steam while also bragging on his personal drive, determination, work ethic, and DIY attitude: “I originally made this beat for Gunna, but he passed on it. Rediscovered it one day while sifting through beats and at the time I was feeling really sour about a few individuals I had been doing business with. In that headspace of anger I felt inclined to write a reminder of how I came to build my career over the years doing all my own production, writing, recording, mixing & mastering, graphics, video production, marketing etc.” All that hard work has truly paid off, with […]

We just added in some hyperlinks and corrected the typos. Please enjoy! Landlady’s newest album is called “Landlady”, and it could not arrive at a better time! That’s because Landlady’s chief songwriter and executive director Adam Schatz has absolutely no other work at the moment, so he can put his full body-weight into promoting the new album, their self-determined most mature album to date that continues to tackle the evergreen topics of loss, joy, and the cosmic anchor that can be latched onto by a seemingly simple act of playing in a band. “Landlady” the album is a capture of the magic that can come from […]
