How does it feel to see your Dollhuose EP hit #3 on Billboard’s Heatseeker’s chart? Are you planning any more releases for this year? It feels really awesome and I’m really excited that people have been giving really great feedback on the EP because it’s so different from whatever people were used to hearing […]
By Al Kaufman Christopher Denny is the ultimate music redemption story. In a childhood full of poverty, instability, and self-destructive behavior by the people around him in Little Rock, Arkansas, Denny turned to two things, drugs and the guitar. Fresh out of high school, armed with a love of Southern rock and a strong, warbly […]

By Al Kaufman We hear often about the woman behind the man, but occasionally it is worth it to hear about the men behind the women. With Wildewoman, indie-pop band Lucius quickly became known for the infectious harmonies of lead singers Jess Wolfe and Holly Laessig, the two friends and Berklee grads who often dress […]
Johnnyswim, a folk, soul, pop music duo, consists of husband and wife duo Amanda Sudano and Abner Ramirez whose voices and musical styling blend perfectly (and they’re pretty freakin’ good looking if you ask us). Individually they are each talented singer/songwriters, and together they are a couple with undeniable chemistry that is seen in both […]
By Al Kaufman Elephant Revival is not your typical band. While a typical band may revolve around the music it creates, Elephant Revival revolves around the music that is in nature and the cosmos. Their goal is to live in harmony with that nature; to create one world through music. A little too metaphysical for […]
Grant Kwiecinski aka GRiZ describes himself as “somewhere between classically trained fuckin’ jazz instrumentalist saxaphone meets stoner meets technology meets bass music.” And for that very accurate, no holds barred, depiction of himself, we love him even more.

The best way I know how to begin introducing Big Gigantic starts with a little personal story. I dragged my younger sister, a hater of all things EDM/etc., to a Big G show, and as soon as Dom picked up the sax, the girl was hooked. The only people who don’t like Big G, simply […]
