"I wanted to make an album that felt like the exact moments I had been wandering in for the better part of the last two years," John O' Callaghan says of the thrilling new LP.

Or at the very least, it gives you permission to sit in your own in-between without the worry of labeling it as good or bad." (continue)

Muscle Shoals native now based in Nashville and The Voice contestant Bay Simpson just released his rockin' brand new single "Too Good To Be True" and to celebrate we asked him to tell us about the track. Here is the story:
"Too Good to Be True" came from a feeling I couldn't really shake. This realization that some of the most important moments in your life don't feel important while you're living them. It's only later, when they're gone, that they start to mean everything. For me, that was growing up in the early 2010s. I didn't love high school when I was in it. I was ready to get out, ready to move on. But looking back now, I miss it more than I ever thought I would. That's really where the song started, just trying to make sense of that feeling. (continue)
