The Ram
“It’s a Saturday Night”
Single
OD Soul, Inc.
“It’s a Saturday Night” is a love letter to the music community. For the hard-working entertainers (their band, roadies, sound and light engineers, local venue owners and service staff). They show up their best, regardless of what night of the week it is, and because of them, I’m never alone.

Rachael Sage
“Flowers for Free”
From the album The Other Side
MPress Records
Rachael Sage’s ‘60s-influenced “Flowers for Free” is poetic pop-rock at its most adventurous. Beatles-esque wah guitar, with guest guitarists James Mastro (Ian Hunter) and Jack Petruzzelli (Rufus Wainwright) bringing the retro vibes. Produced by Sage with Grammy winner Andy Zulla.
CrashMonkeys
“Control”
Single
Self-released
The shambolic yet tunefully glamorous rock-and-roll duo CrashMonkeys broadcast their funky junk from Santa Cruz, Calif. The band’s second EP, LA Trash, is released scheduled for mid-September, and evokes the scuzzy, angsty and arty sounds of Pavement and Sonic Youth, with a bit of Foo-Fighters thrown in.

Melbourne, Australia-based artist, Karen Harding pushes the boundaries of creativity. Versatile vocals and captivating collaborations have earned her recognition worldwide, connecting deeply with audiences through her deeply personal and relatable music and expression of human emotion.
Jonny Lyons & the Pride
“Crooked”
From the album A Little Somethin’ Somethin’
Self-released
Fueled by a passion for old-time rock-and-roll and soul, Jonny Lyons & the Pride draws off of the electrifying energy from ‘50s sock hops and the soulful sounds of ‘60s and ‘70s R&B and Motown. With show-stopping vocals, tight harmonies, a ripping sax and swinging grooves, JLP leaves nothing on the table!
ReverbNation Winner: LoveSick Radio
“Last Goodbye”
Single
