Mark E. Smith once said, “The Fall is me and your gran on bongos” (or something along those lines). Undergoing numerous member changes, Chris Jack has led The Routes for 14 years. The albums “In This Perfect Hell” and “Dirty Needles and Pins” could have been classified as solo albums, where the “band” was just Chris, and drummer Jonathan Hillhouse. On the last Routes album “Tune Out, Switch Off, Drop-In”, Chris was joined by English drummer and old friend Bryan Styles (with whom he briefly played in a post-rock band at age 18). Whilst working on the album, Chris was playing around with some acoustic song ideas. He sent demo recordings to a few friends. Action Weekend Records said “Let’s make an album!”, Bryan came in on drums, percussion and glockenspiel and “ Miles To Go” was born! What? No fuzz!? That’s right! Gone are the snotty vocals and fuzz guitars. There’s no garage here. Chris Jacks' acoustic compositions are accompanied by organ, Rhodes, melodeon, vibraphone and more. Alt...

Our latest signing has a new track for you! Henriette Sennenvaldt of the widely acclaimed Danish band Under Byen has released 'Clumsy' , the second single of her upcoming debut solo album, Something Wonderful . Following the New York Times review of her debut single, 'New Skill' , Sennenvaldt has given us 'Clumsy'; an exploration of repetition, confusion, and ecstasy. Sennenvaldt explains, "I travelled to Chicago and spent days walking about the city, looking at life in a different place. I saw a work by Spencer Finch in which a solar-powered ice cream truck served cones the colors of the sunset. I saw a photo series by Carrie Schneider in which a house keeps burning over the course of several seasons. I wanted this song to be shaped like waking up from the same dream several times. Repetitive, but not repetitive enough for you to relax, quiet but noisy at the same time, like not knowing which reality to put your money on. The saxophones of the song are ...

Rory D'lasnow shared a powerful new video/single entitled "An American Lie", apropos of all the civil unrest we are experiencing. It is available on YouTube , Spotify , and all major streaming services. The video emphasizes the disconnect between civil rights and civil justice, using documentary style footage alongside himself in the studio. He believes it is our duty to right any cultural wrongs, and uses the visual and audio medium to bring home this point. D'Lasnow acknowledges the struggle and resulting advances, best he feels. We are all experiencing the shock and dismay at the injustices we are bombarded with daily, but few stand up to remedy it. "An American Lie" is both gripping and sensitive, truly a paradox of emotions after spending the past two years as an opening act for various artists. D'Lasnow was inspired by Black Lives Matter to create an essential musical cocktail of empathy, frustration, and unfettered hope. The song ...

“One night while I was praying I heard in my heart - go for you dream and I will put someone in your life who believes in your music”, and after contacting Ante Up Studios owner Michael Seifert, the two began a collaboration that would become his 6-song EP “Family and Friends” - Tommy Botz The current state of Country Music has turned to songwriters of the times like Tommy Botz . The old-timers of the genre like Merle Haggard and Willie Nelson are more relevant to todays desert vibe. 2020 has shook up the world, particularly artists trying to get their music out, trying to make a living. Botz writes songs about hard times, a good woman, and sheer life through the bottle. "Maggie" features a rocking backup band with 'Red Rhodes' pedal steel and a ripping guitar solo.

Deborah Lee Fong, an acclaimed performer appearing in the Urban World Film Festival, balances the conflicting demands of acting and dance with an exhilarating leap between the two. She gives us an unforgettable portrait of a gifted, sensitive performer, an entertainer whose struggles and triumphs of a prolific career come through in her work. The narrative of her life's journey, so far, is laced with humor and intelligence, as she confronts the people she's met, the people she's lost, and the people she still hopes to encounter. Ms. Fong is acerbic and self-aware of her multiple ambitions and the drama that ensues each pursuit. Her refreshing and sophisticated blend of the two genres reflect well on the contemporary woman. Her Panamanian roots and years of experience paint a picture of a truly accomplished and masterful performer.
