Planet Booty Shelter-In-Place With New Singe & Video

PlanetBooty_Stars.jpg

2018 and 2019 were huge years for Oakland’s Planet Booty with tours all around the US with TWRP and Ninja Sex Party. Then in January 2020 the trio announced an East Coast Tour this Spring, but before that tour could happen, COVID-19 struck the world and put everyone on lock down.

If anyone thought shelter-in-place could stop Planet Booty from entering your minds and bodies, they were surely wrong. The band adapted quickly and released their newest single “You’re A Star” on March 24, followed by the music video in mid-April showing off their dance moves and creativity at home.

Tour dates have been rescheduled for September, so let’s hope the world gets a little bit back to normal by then! If you haven’t seen this extraordinary band live yet, you’re missing out. It’s worth every dollar to see their high-energy, stage commanding, theatrical, and fun live show that’s bound to get your body moving!

Life Size Models Debut New Songs & Video

LSM_Cusack1984ImOnFire.jpg

San Jose alt-rockers Life Size Models have been busy in 2020! The band really solidified their sound and are taking the Bay Area music scene by storm, going to NAMM, recording at Tiny Telephone, releasing new songs produced by Doe Eye, and debuting an awesome music video. It’s wonderful to see a band I’ve loved since the beginning grow so much in every way that counts.

First LSM released a new version of their hit “Bayshore Freeway” on January 17th and dedicated it to founding member Vincent Gamboa, who co-wrote the original and sadly passed away in 2017. Then on February 27th, they released an awesome music video for the song, which got some coverage by Music Press Junkie. You can check out the video below!

On April 9th, LSM premiered their new singles “Cusack, 1984” and “I’m On Fire” via Live A Little Bit Louder. Those singles led to some great interviews in Breathing The Core and Vents Magazine, as well as being featured in The Prelude Press!

I’m honestly loving everything they’re putting out and really proud of all the hard work they’ve put in. It’s really opening doors for them and I can’t wait to see what’s next. I highly encourage you follow them on Spotify and check out the new music!!

Austin pop-rock singer/songwriter Alex Winters just announced new music releasing Friday, August 23rd! “Silent Storm” is the first single of many that Alex is releasing in 2019 and 2020 for her upcoming album “Beauty and Blemishes.”

You can pre-save the tune on Spotify and be the first to stream the song! Alex also created a beautiful lyric video for it and if you follow her on Instagram and/or Facebook, you can catch a glimpse of it as she’s posting a line each day until the premiere.

Alex recently updated her website to reflect the new “Beauty and Blemishes” branding, which includes all new photos taken by RSX Digital Studios. I really love the new imagery that shows off Alex’s sexy look and style. In addition, the single cover art was done by A.G Ink which perfectly reflects the feelings the song portrays. I’m really excited for everyone to hear the new music!

Levi J Releases "Time Slips By" Single

LeviJ_TimeFlies.jpg

This past Friday, San Jose singer/songwriter Levi J released a new tune called “Time Slips By,” which features the talented Shiloh Mae. Opening with a strong guitar riff and some harmonica, the song leads into a beautiful melody and heart-felt lyrics of a personal love story. Shiloh adds a touch of femininity with her soft rich voice that really completes the song. It’s a easy listen and another solid single by one of my favorite local artists.

“Time Slips By” is available on all outlets, so give it a listen and let me know what you think!

Life Size Models Release New Single "Polar Nights"

LSM_PolarNights.jpg

San Jose indie rockers Life Size Models released their new single “Polar Nights” today! The song deals with the delicate topics of mental illness and depression that affects so many people, a disease that has taken the lives of a few close to the band members.

Not only is it a great ear-worm with an important message, it also samples a Ted Talk by Jake Tyler about depression, which adds a unique element to the tune that really hits hard on how depression can affect people.

“Polar Nights” is available on all outlets, including Spotify and SoundCloud, and has garnered some wonderful press from both PureGrainAudio and the Silicon Valley Metro. I highly recommend reading both articles as it gives some great insight on how the song came about, what it means to the band, upcoming shows, and what the future holds for LSM. Plus tune into ALT 105.3 Radio next Sunday to hear “Polar Nights” on Soundcheck!

Frantic Romantic Release The Wolf In Newest Song & Video

FranticRomantic_Lobo.jpg

Amping up for a wild Friday? So is this werewolf. Watch his night out on the town in Frantic Romantic’s latest music video “Un Lobo Entre Nosotros.”

The video follows a lonely wolf creeping the city streets and causing some trouble, as well as the band and friends dressed in various animal heads jammin’ out to the song. Not only does watching the video make you wish you’d been at the video filming in your own animal spirit mask, but it also conveys that there’s a little wolf in all of us.

Stay tuned for another awesome video coming this Spring with the release of their full new album!
