  • Review: "Cold Rain October" - cellardoor.mp3 & just martin

    cellardoor.mp3 and just martin released their brand new on June 13, 2025, titled “Cold Rain October.” This song is about losing someone you care so deeply for when they don’t see it or care back. Relationships are so hard to navigate sometimes, there is always tension or regret. While this can be really frustrating, staying with them despite all these feelings may not be the answer sometimes. You can care so deeply for someone and still know they aren’t for you. You can go out and distract yourself any chance you get but the thought of “what if” always comes back.     “Cold Rain October” opens up with gentle vocals that immediately grab your attention. Paired with these breathtaking vocals are the lyrics that are extremely relatable. With lyrics like “your ego is thinking for you” and “Cold Rain October I’m numb” it’s so hard to not feel any sort of emotion while listening. While this whole track is amazing, I found myself in awe of the soft but mighty instrumentals throughout. The wistful guitar being strung and steady drums being played made this whole track so melancholic. I simply could not stop replaying it and almost immediately added it to my everyday listening playlist.   cellardoor.mp3 and just martin are singer/songwriters from Vienna, Austria. While “Cold Rain October” is their debut single, the music industry is no stranger to them. These gifted artists have already made quite the name for themselves under the name Murdsdrum as they have been producing music since 2019. They have worked with many artists like Dardan, Capital Bra and Lacazette to name a few. While working with many great artists under the name Murdsdrum they made it to the top 100 German charts a couple of times. The two have been friends for many years with one common interest to make sure their songs are honest and powerful for all their listeners.

  • Review: "Empty Poetry" - Trisha Jha

    Loving just a single person is the most precious thing there is to life. It is quite possibly the most surreal feeling in the world. There are never thoughts of regret and there is never miscommunication from either side. It’s almost as if it’s a fairytale but then again, all fairy tales end unexpectedly and without any reason. Trisha Jha released her latest track on June 15, 2025, titled “Empty Poetry.” A song that reminds us that not all love and relationships are destined to happen. There will always be a hundred promises made with the same amount of broken promises and lies. Leaving you in the end to wonder what was real and what was said to make you feel safe in that very moment.     “Empty Poetry” has the sounds and lyrics to make you immediately fall in love. I have no words to describe just how raw this track was. Not to mention how outstanding her vocals were, she sounded like an absolute angel with so much emotion backing her up at every possible second. The soft piano keys being played throughout were my favorite as they made this song so familiar and relatable. There was never a second where this track wasn’t powerful whether it was her voice or the lyrics. Especially with lyrics like “don’t make promises that you can’t keep” and “I truly loved you.” I simply could not get enough of this song as the mood was so poignant.   The young and talented Trisha Jha is a singer/songwriter and producer from the USA. While she is just 15 years old, she has already made quite the name for herself in the music industry. As she has released three amazing tracks just this month with the first being her debut single titled “Burden” on June 8, 2025. Her music falls under that of the alternative indie pop genre as she tells remarkable stories from her life experiences. “Empty Poetry” is such a heartfelt song with many emotions and feelings that anyone can relate to. I highly recommend giving this track a listen as you will not be disappointed and maybe even find your next favorite artist. Also be sure to follow her social media’s down below and follow along on her musical journey.

  • Review: "Back & Forth" - Lex Bucha

    “Back & Forth” by Lex Bucha details the fluctuation of romance in a self-reflective track cushioned by a pop beat. He asks " do you think I’m good/ to be around? ” in a bout of insecurity that keeps him from sleeping. With questions in his mind and more things “ coming out of the woodworks ”, anxiety takes over Bucha’s body. Described as a “ brick wall ”, he sings about loss of control, a lump in his throat, and not knowing where to begin when going “ back and forth ”. He acknowledges he’s made “ many mistakes ” and hurt “ many people ”, believing he’s only fixable by an army. He notes that the subject of the song “ passed down ” their trauma and messed him up “ bad ”, leading to the hot and cold dynamic that drives the song.  Bucha’s harmonized vocals start the song, and dissipate into separate background vocals. The upbeat drum turns somber lyrics into a high energy pop song that’s still endearing. Offbeat clapping sound effects add a duplicity to the song and invites other unique sound effects to accompany the chorus. They also bring a brightness that alleviates the melancholy tendencies of the track. Bucha’s vocals are haunted by indecision and anxiety, delivered by a serenity that provides closure. Slowing down during the last bridge, paired with busy cuts and effects, recaptures attention at the end of the song to carry the last section of the chorus. Bucha ends with a mashup of sound selected from the bridge and chorus followed by sounds of static and water, tying the track together by ending with similar sounds as the beginning.  Lex Bucha is an Irish pop-singer and songwriter based in Dublin that’s inspired by artists like Bjork, The 1975, and Hurts. His work has been played on BBC Introducing, TodayFM, and Spin, and he has over 50K streams on Spotify. He opens up about personal experiences in new single “Back & Forth”, released on June 19th of this year. He released the single “Powerless” in 2024 and plans to release his debut EP “Painless Mode” this July. “Painless Mode” takes inspiration from Troye Sivan and HONNE, who sound similar to The 1975. This new EP also explores personal experiences in depth. To stay updated on Lex Bucha, follow his socials linked below!

  • Review: "Nothing's gonna hurt you" - Margaux Regan

    In her debut single, Margaux Regan hits the ground running with the release of “Nothing’s gonna hurt you”. Inspired by the title of the popular Cigarettes After Sex song and the storyline behind Zach Bryan’s “Tourniquet”, Regan set out to create a track that acted as “a lullaby for someone going through hard times”. She blends a slight country twang into her singer-songwriter vibe, and her lyrics are realistic and genuine. After battling depression herself for over a year, and finally rediscovering a love for life, she puts her own emotions and thoughts into her lyrics. Her own personal experiences brought into her music helps to create an authentic balance between melancholic themes and hopeful endings. Her soundscape is simplistic, with a slightly southern sounding finger picked guitar being the only instrumentation at first. Her lyrics are directed at someone going through a tough time, and the level of understanding she demonstrates is only that of someone who has experienced it first hand. The first verse details the lack of support in a familial sense, and the second details surface level friendships. She validates their feelings, saying how she understands the pain and that it is difficult to get by. In the chorus, she sings, “But nothings gonna hurt you darling / I know the prettiest things often sting / So shut your eyes and let go of the sorrow / Cuz I’m telling you there’ll be a better tomorrow”. Margaux Regan first picked up a guitar when she was 10 years old, in an attempt to write a song about a boy she had a crush on. Her music has obviously grown since then, but she still chooses real life experiences and feelings to center her art around. She credits her early inspirations from her Irish mother, who loved Irish artists like U2, the Cranberries, and Sinéad O'Connor. Their storytelling and styles are woven through her music today, along with current day classics like Taylor Swift and Zach Bryan. Make sure to follow the social medias below to stay tuned for more real and raw music from Margaux Regan. Written By Tessa Maddaloni FOLLOW Margaux Regan: Instagram | Spotify  | TikTok  | YouTube

  • Review: "Dumb Stuff" - Zoe Twist

    A teasing, hot summer song, "Dumb Stuff" by Zoe Twist relishes in being unattainable because what's sexier than what you can't have? Twist leans into a confident sensuality that's lyrically flirtatious and snappy. The singer has all the fun making jokes at the expense of her wannabe fling. She teases, " If it were goin' your way, you'd take me back to your place...And yeah, the wine cellar's big, but that's the only big thing. Pinch you, you must be dreamin'" The song's innuendos and dreamy sound create a staple summer song that conjures up whimsical images of dancing all night, night swimming, and kissing strangers. Twist taps into what's just out of reach in someone's fantasy, creating her resonant single "Dumb Stuff." Airy Lofi-style synths and Twist's effervescent vocal tone guide the sensual, sultry style of "Dumb Stuff." Twist notes that inspiration for her style comes from artists like Sabrina Carpenter, who writes sexy banter and fun pop. Twist makes the song entirely her own, turning to heavy synth-based alternative/indie pop instrumentals. This single is bold and fresh melding the singer's smooth sound together with punchy, confident lyrics. Owning her sexuality as a woman is a vital pillar of Twist's gritty and daring songwriting. Twist isn't waiting to speak. Her music takes control, compelling listeners to embrace themselves in the same way. Zoe Twist hails from Vancouver, Canada. Going on to attend school at Berklee College of Music, Twist has known that she wanted to pursue music seriously.

  • Review: "Sugar in His Tea" - Ocean Tisdall

    “Sugar in His Tea” is the newest single from Ocean Tisdall, a song about missing your ex and telling their new partner about them. Tisdall was in what seemed like a perfectly healthy and loving relationship, until suddenly his significant other became what appeared to be a completely different person, which lead to a break up. His ex got into another relationship soon after, leaving Tisdall to wonder if their relationship even meant anything, and he also still misses him. Using this song, he tells his ex’s new partner what he is like, noting certain things about his personality, in order for him to accept that they most likely aren’t going to get back together. Not only are the lyrics amazing, but Tisdall also shows off his amazing vocals throughout the single amidst wonderfully crafted production and instrumentation. The overall sound of “Sugar in His Tea” gradually becomes more powerful and full as the song progresses. It begins with a piano, which is the sole instrument throughout a large part of the song. Then, acoustic guitar chords and drums appear, shortly before a cacophony of electric guitar chords play, matching alongside the other instruments. The tempo of “Sugar in His Tea” remains the same while still defining the different sections and elements of the song, making it very distinct and original. Ocean Tisdall is a music artist from Manor Kilbride in Ireland. He became a part of the band United Vibe after he joined The X Factor UK, where he worked with Robbie Williams . The band released singles throughout 2019. In 2022, Tisdall began releasing solo music, debuting with his February 2022 single “White Lies”. In November of 2022, he released his debut EP Boys Don’t Cry , with “White Lies” being one of the tracks. His song “Crying Room” has a nearly half a million streams on Spotify. He uploaded a cover of “London Is Lonely” by Holly Humberstone to his YouTube channel. Ocean Tisdall is an incredible and very talented artist!

  • Concert Review: Counting Crows - The Complete Sweets! Tour in Highland Park, IL

    Photo: Counting Crows Website Setlist Spaceman In Tulsa Hard Candy Boxcars Mr. Jones Colorblind Omaha Come Around With Love, From A-Z Miami Virginia Through The Rain Michaelangelo Friend Of The Devil Round Here Rain King The 1/ A Long December Encore Under The Aurora Hanginaround Holiday In Spain To experience life is to experience art. They coexist together and most of the time reflect one another to some degree. To experience the band that was the soundtrack of your childhood, though, was an experience that I wish for everyone. As a kid who grew up in that wild transition from the late 90's to early 2000's, it felt like pop-culture was at an all time high. Between the fashion, television shows, and more importantly the music, it felt easy for me to pick something to latch onto and allow it to become a part of my identity. Counting Crows was one of those bands where their songs will forever unlock childhood memories since their music was not only influencing the charts around this time but also influencing my love for rock music.  A band from humble beginnings, Counting Crows consists of band members Adam Duritz (vocalist), David Bryson (rhythm guitarist), Jim Bogios (drummer), Charlie Gillingham (keyboardist), David Immerglück (multi-instrumentalist), Millard Powers (bassist) and Dan Vickrey (lead guitarist.) In 1991, the band began playing shows around the San Francisco Bay Area in and around Berkeley where their followers really started taking shape. Just two years later, in 1993, their album August and Everything After  was released launching them into the industry with songs like "Mr. Jones" and "Round Here" quickly becoming radio station staples.  Counting Crows during the song "Colorblind" Gaslight Anthem, the openers for Counting Crows got the crowd warmed up performing an hour long set and were actually introduced by frontman Adam Duritz. Occasionally you can see Duritz poking his head from around the speakers, smiling at everyone having a great time. When Counting Crows comes on stage, they jump right into it with one of their new singles "Spaceman In Tulsa." This song started the concert off on a high note - giving the audience a taste of their new music before jumping into their song "Hard Candy." This song comes from their fourth studio album when the band had really found their sound and seemed really comfortable. Duritz's storytelling capabilities shine through so many of his songs, especially the ones performed at this concert but the way he approached "Hardcandy" song made it feel brand new. The same could be said about the song "Colorblind." Growing up, this song was always too emotionally mature for me but listening and watching it as an adult was very different. In a nutshell, it was poetic, performative and gentle. At the end of the song, Duritz sings, "I am fine"  which felt personal and more vulnerable than I was expecting. Two highlights of the nights came from the band behind the sound of Counting Crows. Where Adam Duritz is incredibly unique in his power to express fresh emotions in a song that is 26 years old, the band behind him are some of the most incredible musicians. The first person to highlight is Charlie. Charlie plays keys in the band but also the accordion which single handedly give Counting Crows their unique sound of an "old-timey Americana" sound. Charlie's solo in the beginning of "Omaha" switched the concert from a rock/pop concert to a folk one. Not many rock bands can hold the space for that but in this case, Charlie's talents feels like garnish on an already well-oiled machine. The other highlight is the band's ability to switch from high energy fun music, to acoustic and sensitive on the flip of a dime. At one moment, during the song "When I Dream Of Michaelangelo," their drummer Jim pulled out a book that was mic'd up and played that. Whether it was a moment that sparked from forgetting an instrument or not, the band made it work and showed their incredible musicianship. Being able to adapt and think outside the box is what makes Counting Crows so amazing. The band has never been shy when it comes to covering songs, in fact, they played two amazing covers during the show. The first one, "Friend Of The Devil, " originally performed by The Grateful Dead is such a well known cover of theirs that the crowd that had been sitting most of the night got up and started singing along. The other cover shows the band's nod to the musicians that we're seeing in the news all the time - "The 1" by Taylor Swift. I think it's always nice when musicians who have been in the industry for quite some time are able to acknowledge the talent that is rising before our eyes. Duritz at this point in the show takes a moment to be alone at his piano to cover this song before ending their setlist with "A Long December." The song he covered by Taylor Swift felt like it was made for him as it has the same existential love behind the lyrics which just further proves how well Adam knows his music. Counting Crows during the song "Friend Of The Devil" (Grateful Dead Cover) I always love when bands have some sort of through-line throughout their discography. I noticed that Counting Crows has one common phrase that comes up from the beginning of their career to this most recent album and it's the idea of believing. In "Mr. Jones," (help me believe in anything,) "Sundays," ( I don't believe in Sunday's and I don't believe in anything at all,) "A Long December," (There's reason to believe,) and now in "Under The Aurora," Duritz hits us with "Maybe I could believe in one thing" which feels like he's coming around to the idea of believing. It feels that with every show, every song and every break the band takes, maybe they're one step closer to figuring out this answer. For me, I believe that to experience life is to experience great art. I believe that Counting Crows are the pinnacle of what it means to create exceptional art. If you have the chance to see them, then it'll be the experience of a lifetime. Written By Breanna M. FOLLOW COUNTING CROWS: Instagram | Spotify  | TikTok  | Facebook  | YouTube | Website

  • Review: "Split" - Inude

    Inude’s “Split” begins with hesitant vocals as they drift through lyrics like “ I came to know, and I came to… ” with abrupt pauses. This adds to the character of the track by creating space between ordinary music and Inude’s sound. They explore loss through gutting lyricism, singing “ maybe I can hold you more than I want to/ but everything keeps falling out of my arms, ” and “ I’m broken now/ and one side keeps running to you.” Both verses imaginatively communicate the agony of loss through figurative language. This leaves Inude feeling lost, noting “ there’s no road to follow ,” and asking “ when did it go wrong? ”.The way Inude constructs lyrics in conjunction with their singular sound entrances listeners and challenges stagnacy.  The instrumentals parallel the unpredictable breaks in sound with psychedelic sound effects that mature the track into a solid soundscape. Heartbeat synth maintains a pulse and eventually mutates into a hyper-pop beat that carries composed vocals. Fidgeting sound patterns promote a thrilling uncertainty that captivates listeners. Inude’s vocals guide these patterns through a busy, yet mellow track. The song fluctuates between haste and serenity to deliver the duality of splitting. The ending brings more activity with a build up to a fade out that works well with the track. The sound effects are complex, which makes Inude’s “Split” unique. They close with an exhilarating batch of stretched sounds and quick drumming to leave an impression.  Inude is a southern Italian trio that came together in 2014 and has a distinct style. The group is composed of Francesco, Giacomo, and Flavio, who have combined their expertise and artistry to create something cohesive. Inude has performed at the Montreux Jazz Festival , Locus Festival , and Home Festival. Their first EP “Love is in the Eyes of Animals”, was released in 2016, and their debut album “Clara Tesla” in 2019. They are planning to release music in 2025 that will be featured in next year’s album. Their most popular song “Hudea” has over 750K streams on Spotify alone, followed by “Balloon”.

Life is way too short to sit around waiting and pondering about the what ifs. You miss out on so many life changing events by being scared of the outcome.

No one is going to remember the things you did or care about them in five years. Living your life to the fullest is the best way to be yourself and be able to be content with your life.   “Limousine (Na Na Na)” has the most electric beat you could have possibly heard.

  • Review: "Self Soother" - Lauren Spring

    Lauren Spring pulls listeners in with “Self Soother” – a raw, emotionally-charged and intricately detailed single about learning to nurture oneself while simultaneously being in a relationship with someone who is unhealthy for you. From the first crack of this track, you’re thrown into a world apart from reality. You feel Spring’s emotion and emphasis from the first beat, with her voice only further cementing the integrity of the story and my initial reaction to her talent. Her voice is filled with true angst and edge, putting listeners directly in her shoes and painting the image of a challenging relationship. While this is a personal story, the topic is one that is unfortunately common and should be reflected on, as well as discussed, significantly more. Spring does a brilliant job of telling a story entirely of her own, on top of creating a song that can connect with others and bring awareness to situations that need discussion & awareness. Additionally, it doesn’t hurt that Spring’s level of musical precision is undeniably impressive and reaches beyond the barriers of existing within limited genres. While “Self Soother” initially appears like it exists within the realm of the indie world, I found myself drawn to its elements of alternative pop, indie rock, classic rock, etc. Spring clearly takes inspiration from varying musical spaces and weaves it altogether with her own flare, creating music that both shows qualities of being a fantastic student of music overall as well as a true artist. My first listen of “Self Soother” overall felt as though I had been looking at a photograph and were able to jump within the photo, then existing in a world apart from our own. Spring includes lyrics that show the intensity and intimacy of relationships that people outside of them seemingly forget at times, and discusses a topic that is widely known but not focused on as much as it should be in society. She uses this story and these well-written, precise lyrics to spread the message that being treated unfairly by someone who acts / believes the world revolves around them is not okay, and that taking care of yourself and your needs is what should come first. Especially in the age of the internet and receiving overwhelming information at all times, it’s important to have songs like “Self Soother” that promote independence and self-care. While self-care is a widely promoted message, the intricateness behind this song shows the true need for self-care and just how serious topics like this are. Lauren Spring is an Americana artist and singer-songwriter from the gulf coast of Florida. Both a solo artist and member of the Krickets, a two-time IMA Song of the Year winning group, her first production effort with the Krickets premiered in American Songwriter’s Best New Music feature. By 2021, Spring signed with Saint in the City Records. With her solo releases, she has received recognition both through Spotify and Apple Music. On Spotify, her solo releases have amassed over 7 million streams, and she premiered on Apple Music’s New Americana editorial playlist. Outside of working on her music, she additionally enjoys writing for other artists and projects. Writing for country and pop between the years 2020-2024, she was a member of a Nashville staff writer group. She has done work for the title track from the #1 gospel album All God’s Children Sing by artist Jerry Salley, as well as worked with artists Dallas Remington, Riley Taylor, etc. Written By Madison Spies FOLLOW LAUREN SPRING: Instagram | Spotify  | Soundcloud  | Facebook  | YouTube

  • Review: "the villain" - Yorke

    Yorke’s latest release, “the villain,” rips the page from an antagonist’s journal, revealing that most times, they never want to harm the person they love. When a romantic partner comes into her life, she’s overwhelmed by the affection she receives from him, ignoring the parts of her that she needs to heal. Already in too deep, she steps away, breaking the person’s heart. It feels like a selfish crime. It’s hard to read the moral compass when she needs to help herself, but in doing so, it hurts the person she loves. Like every villain’s plan, there’s a flaw in Yorke’s strategy, “I didn’t perfect it, the art of letting go/ I’m the villain.” The synths and guitar are heavy, like the guilt that cuts deep when you have to let go. Each guitar strum is a siren—there’s danger and pain, but help and healing, too. It stings, but it brings comfort. The beat strikes like a sword past the armor or a bullet past the vest, pounding to the core. Every pain we cause to the other person ricochets back to ourselves. The repetition of “I am the villain,” and the layered synths in the bridge feel like an escapee scene, realizing that she may have started all this. The isolation before the final chorus feels like a reflection in a cell, in a state of loneliness. But she reaches an acceptance in the final chorus. The same climbing, layered synths paint this scene as if it’s all right. Sometimes, there has to be a heartbreaker. This dream pop “villain,” Yorke, created the song for her EP unfinished business.  Although her flaws may challenge her relationship, it’s rare to find any in the carefully crafted lyrics of the EP. Grace Hughes’s story started in Byron Bay, Australia, and she seals her identity and passion under the name Yorke, inspired by her love for New York City. Now, she has two EPs released and over 43 million streams. For indigo la End’s tour walk-on track, the Japanese rock band used Yorke’s song “like in the movies” from her EP ten feet tall . Yorke has supported musicians like Ball Park Music , The Veronicas , Ruel , Peach PRC , Lewis Capaldi , and Good Neighbours . In her career, she’s far from a villain.
