2022’s Disaster Medicine saw Nashville-based rock trio Sound&Shape channeling the best aspects of their prior records into a thoroughly captivating and heartfelt odyssey full of rich melodies, insightful lyricism, and inventive yet accessible instrumentation. Evoking the soothing vibes of Dredg, Katatonia, A Perfect Circle, and Biffy Clyro (“Filament and Spark,” “Gods,” “Four Pale Horses”) and the epic energy and musicianship of classic Queen, Porcupine Tree, King’s X, Dead Letter Circus, and Chevelle (“Heirlooms,” “Quiet Wars,” “How the Light Gets In”), Disaster Medicine was a triumphantly introspective and orchestral statement of purpose that any band would have a hard time surpassing.
Sound&Shape isn’t just any band, though, and with their latest LP – Pillars of Creation – they’ve set a whole new benchmark not only for themselves, but for the genre as a whole. Recorded in just eight days at their Nashville home studio alongside Grammy-winning producer/engineer “Greazy” Wil Anspach (Metallica, Muse, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Killer Mike), the grippingly affective and symphonic opening title track symbolizes how the sequence finds frontman/songwriter Ryan Caudle, drummer Ben Proctor, and bassist Pat Lowry taking listeners on an even more impactful, cohesive, and ambitious ride.
From the adventurous arrangements and daring complexities of “Look For Me in the Sky'' and “Is a Wilted Rose Still Red?” to the sing-along folk splendor of “Peace in Destruction''; the majestic lusciousness of “Sun Haired Sky Mother”; and the fierce changeups of “Dance Neath the Fairest Moon,” Pillars of Creation ups the ante by fusing the group’s already winning chemistry with a double dose of the baroque/prog rock sophistications of The Dear Hunter, Dirt Poor Robins, and The Reign of Kindo.
Beyond being Sound&Shape’s magnum opus, Pillars of Creation is an awe-inspiringly meaningful and multifaceted journey that’s destined to be hailed as one of 2024’s greatest albums. - JB 3/24 -
The MOONtransmissions duo - Chelsea Dawn and SILVER — combine lush textures and raw emotional depth, with cinematic soundscapes that feel like transmissions from another world—both haunting and deeply human. With a sound that melds avant-guarde grit, shimmering textures, and electronic undercurrents, MOONtransmissions is a duo pushing the boundaries of music. United by a shared obsession with analog synths, haunting melodies, and rhythmic experimentation, their music feels like an ethereal broadcast from a parallel dimension.
MOONtransmissions’ latest single, Chemical Smiles, is a hypnotic blend of art rock, desert rock and shoegaze, encapsulating the band’s signature ethereal and progressive sound. The track exemplifies the duo’s ability to merge cinematic soundscapes with raw intimacy. Chelsea delivers an emotive exploration of longing and detachment, framed by atmospheric guitars, swirling flutes, gritty bass, and Chels’ haunting vocals. With its release, Chemical Smiles is poised to resonate deeply with fans.
Whether live or on record, MOONtransmissions is a journey worth taking.

Americana/Soul/Rock artist Danielia Cotton released her version of Charley Pride’s Roll On Mississippi on March 18, 2024 (Pride’s birthday) and Kiss an Angel Good Morning on May 15, 2024, as the first two singles for her upcoming tribute EP, Charley’s Pride: A Tribute to Black Country Music. Both singles broke through the charts performing exceptionally well, without the support of a major label. This is not at all surprising given the force of nature that is Danielia Cotton. It makes sense that she landed here, in Country. Cotton who grew up in rural NJ on the Sourland Mountain has been dippin’ her toes in this creek since she started recording with songs like Fast, 4 A Ride & Found Another from her first album, Small White Town.
Cotton has spent her entire career fighting for independence, space to create her own sound and an audience that would journey with her. “Danielia injects her own brand of indie soul and Americana on her version, while also possessing the late great Charley’s dynamism” - Americana Blues Scene
Her new highly anticipated EP "Charley's Pride - A Tribute To Black Country Music" will officially be released for streaming on August 29th.

Amanda Cross has found her niche in the cross-genre blend of Alt-Country, Americana, and Rock. If you mix together the moody psychedelic vibes of Lana Del Rey and the smart songwriting of Brandi Carlisle, that is where we find the artistry of Amanda Cross. With an eclectic array of inspiration her music is anything but simple. You’ll find yourself on a ride up the Pacific Coast Highway with Malibu Daydream or through a mysterious alley with the somewhat Hitchcockian vibes of Phantom, ending up at her country pop roots of Oklahoma with How Did I Get So Lucky. Her single, I Wanna Be Bad is the perfect Girls’ Night Out anthem and showcases Cross’s range and songwriting. The title track of her debut album, Hell or High Water is a modern take on a timeless genre of outlaw country showcasing gritty vocals and swampy guitar riffs.
