Babylon Shakes Announces New Lineup

Bassist Gary Jordan moves over to guitar making room for new bassist and now 4th member David Elmore. Hailing from Virginia, Dave compliments the band perfectly bringing a wealth of musical skill, knowledge and talent to the band. Dave played in the popular Virginia band ‘TILT’, hails Aerosmith bassist Tom Hamilton, and is influenced by Aerosmith, Hanoi Rocks, and The Black Crowes.

Gary, an amazing guitar player, has always played bass in bands because “they needed a bass player”. Gary can now show off his guitar playing adding another dynamic to the band.

The move comes at a perfect time as the band is preparing to release their first full-length record ‘Exile to The Velveteen Lounge’ nationally through HighVolMusic on February 1, 2019. “I’ve been handling all the guitar duties as well as singing since we started the band. Adding Dave and moving Gary to guitar, which Gary always wanted to do, now frees me up to what I do and cover more ground as a band. The foundation of the band is more solid than ever and Dave is just a perfect fit. That almost never happens!” says guitarist/vocalist Chris Clark.

Since its formation in September 2017, BABYLON SHAKES has been on the fast track writing and recording, playing prominent events such as ‘Holiday Six Pack w/ Tora Tora’, ‘HighVolSummer Bash’ with ‘Every Mother’s Nightmare’ and ‘Billy Morris’, and ‘The Main Event with Silvertung’ along with many shows of their own, and building a mass fan base. BABYLON SHAKES was signed to HighVolMusic after their first show ever.

Full release details on ‘Exile to The Velveteen Lounge’ will be revealed soon.

Award-Winning Canadian Roots Rocker Cory M. Coons Premieres New Single And Video

“It’s basically a song about being wrapped up in a relationship of sorts with someone, and having them in your head for a while, with the hopes that maybe there might be a rekindling of a spark.”

— Cory M. Coons, Singer-Songwriter
“Coons’ voice is wonderful…timeless!” – Indie Pulse Music

And you are sort of left chasing the other’s lead so to speak… All the while hoping that those past mistakes can be erased.”

The Dream by Lying On Ice penetrates under your skin with powerful arrangements and a breathtaking voice.

The Dream by Lying On Ice penetrates under your skin with powerful arrangements and a breathtaking voice.
Complex tones and arrangements make the debut album by Lying On Ice an experience in which one likes to press repeat to start The Dream over again.

DENVER, DECEMBER 4, 2018 — With the album ” The Dream ” Jesse Maddox and Angela Cross prove their group Lying On Ice are firing on all cylinders. Throughout all 11 songs they highlight the attention to detail that drew in Dave Rave Ogilvie (NIN, Skinny Puppy) who produced and mixed the album. Dave worked with the group to sculpt the collection of songs into a listening experience that invites you to join them on their journey through the uncharted territory of felted pianos, sub bass synths and dream like arrangements. The texture throughout the album gives it an addictive underground factor that when you listen in you will find yourself hitting repeat. The Dream by Lying On Ice can be found streaming and for purchase everywhere you might listen.

When the Legendary Pink Dots and recent Amanda Palmer collaborator Edward Ka-Spel provided vocals for the song Surrender Jesse Maddox was buzzing with excitement. It was the influence from Edward Ka-Spel’s solo, LPD and Tear Garden projects that helped curate the tones, textures and moods that inspired Jesse to find and develop his musical voice. Jesse a recent Berklee School of Music and recipient of the Gloria Estefan scholarship wanted to make the song Surrender featuring Edward Ka-Spel an ode to the Pink Dots in an attempt to say thank you for all of the years of inspiration.

“Lying On Ice’s gorgeous style reminds me very favorably of Chromatics’ neon-tinged synth-pop, in addition to Hikaru Utada’s more darker-geared efforts – or a less hectic and more organized Crystal Castles. Either way, comparisons aside, this is a remarkably well done effort that balances a dark atmosphere brilliantly with seductive vocals and a subtle sort of infectiousness that sticks, with a sound that’s quite original despite the complementary comparisons.” – Mike Mineo, Obscure Sound

Cool, powerful and with a breathtaking voice, with complexity that penetrates directly under the listener’s skin. Make their songs an experience in which one likes to press the repeat button and start over to dream again. In any case, you should definitely use the headphones here, because then you really get the full potential. This should not be a mistake, because as the album ” The Dream ” shows, the duo from Denver is in full swing. 11 songs with addictive factor! Listen in and be amazed. Mad Mako – Dark Life Experience

If you venture to lyingonice.bandcamp.com the group has additional downloads accompanying the album as well as signed physical CDs and incredibly beautiful images that represent each song on handcrafted paper. Some images were designed by artists that were inspired by the music and are a visual representation of the songs.

TROPE Release New Single “Breach”

Nov 1st, 2018 – Hollywood, LA – TROPE announced today the release of their the new single “Breach”, from their upcoming debut album Eleutheromania. “Breach” is Engineered by Mike Fraser (AC/DC, Aerosmith) and Mixed by Trope guitarist/producer Dave Thompson.

“What you love has taken you so far as to make everything that came before worth it.”
Lead singer and writer Diana Studenberg tells us that “Breach is about fighting for the thing you love and what that journey can look like. The song centres around feeling stuck in all aspects: Allowing relationships that are hostage situations to govern, lying to oneself about ones reality and not knowing how to escape ones very own ‘Groundhog Day’.”
The saving grace for this phase is our own personal reconnection to faith.
Diana delves deeper. “The second half is about not having to answer to or justify your love to anyone. People will ‘dangle carrots’ and try to use what you love against you. But there is no unbreakable wall – so long as you stand firm and stay true to your course. 
The chorus is a departure from the dirt the verses swim in. It’s that beautiful ascension beyond the sense of a Sisyphean struggle. You’re way past that place you were in, and no longer have to bow to or follow those who’ve tried to cripple your progress and emotional being.”

TROPE is a female fronted art rock band based in Hollywood, Los Angeles that melds polyrhythmic grooves and progressive melodies. Their music first approach can be heard on their debut album Eleutheromania, meaning a manic zeal for freedom.

James Lee Baker’s “Home Again” Is A Fantastic Experience

Here’s the thing about debut albums: they must be loud. I’m not talking about being musically loud, but to make an impact; your debut album has to prove people in the music that you have arrived and that they are going to remember your name. When you go to the stage, you must own it, and James Lee Baker seems to understand by the looks (and sound) of his debut, Home Again.

Country is a music genre where everything seems said and done, so it’s always refreshing to see someone taking that formula and using it in a way that can be fresh and appealing at the same time; this is what Baker did it at Home Again, and with great effect, I must say. The opening song, The Canadian River, is a great example of this: it’s a Country track through and through, clear of what it tries to convey and doing so in good fashion; there’s no hocus pocus, no trying to be overly elaborated and it works, which is the main goal of any musician.

I would like to give the ballads of the album a little bit of time because they have a sort of haunting atmosphere to them that is quite interesting. The first of the album is the second song, Two Cageless Birds, and I have to say that Baker’s really stands out in this particular track, like every good ballad should do. Then you have a total opposite song in Disappear for the Weekend, showcasing Baker and his band in a much more intense effort, which gives this album a greater dimension of variety while still maintaining certain cohesiveness, which is always hard to achieve.

Are you fan of the great eras of Westerns films of the 60s and 70s? Well, Baker has a few songs in Home Again that were made just for you. A Place for You & Me and Cowtown Blues are great demonstration of what tracks of that style should be, giving Baker the place to shine as a vocalist and at the same time keeping the song’s structure intact; solo albums can turn into self-pleasing experiences for many musicians, but Baker is a pro and has proven with this album that he can deliver without letting it get into his head.

One thing that got my attention in this album was certainly the ending. Stand Alone is such a classy way to finish a musical effort like this one; instead of going for the grand finale, Baker keeps it simple and intimate with this piano ballad, with his voice at the center stage. It reminds me to how I feel after reading a great book; that sense of yearning and completion that makes you think for a while after it has concluded.

Overall, James Lee Baker’s Home Again is a fantastic experience that you should take into consideration. Smooth, cohesive and with a modest touch of sophistication, this is a Country album that can stands on its own compared to the rest of modern releases, coming on top as the winner. – Kevin Tanza

My dad wanted to watch it 3 times in a row! He is a huge WW1 and 2 buff and said, ‘there are some really heavy and deep images happening here. A big story!”
