Interview with Sam Tompkins
26 JUL. 2024 · We had the pleasure of interviewing Sam Tompkins over Zoom video!
Highly acclaimed British singer-songwriter Sam Tompkins releases his eagerly anticipated debut album hi, my name is insecure via Republic Records. Also released today is his brand new single ‘almost killed me’.
Listen to hi, my name is insecure https://republicrecords.us5.list-manage.com/track/click?u=3051269687d98ad95ab882a80&id=514b6b2ead&e=76a40001ec
Listen to ‘almost killed me’ https://republicrecords.us5.list-manage.com/track/click?u=3051269687d98ad95ab882a80&id=80a5246fb9&e=76a40001ec
hi, my name is insecure is the sum of years of hard work from Sam as he builds his dream body of work, incorporating tracks which are already fan favorites alongside exciting new material. The album, out today, also sees Sam team up with writer Pablo Bowman (Calvin Harris, James Arthur, Jonas Brothers) as well as writer and producer Danny Casio (Little Mix, Joy Crookes, Tom Grennan, Rudimental). The album includes hit tracks ‘someone else’, ‘time will fly’, ‘see me’, ‘lose it all’, ‘phones in heaven’ and ‘numb’.
The title of the album, hi, my name is insecure, speaks to Sam’s more introverted side as he explains, “I really like being in the company of my friends, but if you take me out of my comfort zone, and have me hang out at a party or an event or whatever, I just go inside myself and I find any excuse to get out of it.”
The newly released single, ‘almost killed me’, delves into the turbulent and confused emotions of a break-up, with Sam’s raspy tones and pop-rock guitar riff bringing energy and grit to the tune. Produced by Matthew Koma (PINK/Britney Spears) and co-written by Caroline Pennell (Demi Lovato, Ava Max, Zara Larrson), speaking on the single Sam says: "Almost Killed Me is all about those times when you’ve finally got out of a difficult relationship and you can see it for what it truly was. whether bad, toxic or just not meant to be. Sometimes it’s the hope that kills you and that is what it’s about. You really think you can make it work sometimes, but when it’s over and you have time to sit with it, you can finally see the bigger picture. I love this song and am so excited for it to be heard!"
If there’s one thing Sam wants his fans to take away from his live show, or from his music, it’s that a problem shared is a problem halved. Sam shares that “Whenever I talk about my problems in my songs, I feel like a weight has been lifted, because I know that I don't have to hide or be ashamed of that thing, and I want everyone else to feel that like there's nothing in this world that you might feel sad about that is shameful. In terms of mental health, there isn’t anything you ought to shy away from, you should always let people know if you’re struggling.”
Since starting his musical journey at 16 years old busking on the streets of Brighton, Sam has gone on to sell out shows around the world and amass a dedicated and enraptured fanbase, cementing his reputation as one of the fastest-rising British male artists. He was hailed by the likes of GQ as “one of the UK's most exciting vocal talents of the moment”, CLASH’s “the man of the moment” and last year was nominated for Rolling Stone's Rising Star Award. He’s cultivated an incredible online community for millions to share their love of music and has received praise from high-profile artists including Drake, Fred again.., Justin Bieber, RAYE, Sam Smith and more.
The future looks bright for Sam Tompkins as he looks ahead to supporting singer/songwriter Myles Smith on his North American tour throughout September and October, which sees Sam perform at sold-out shows across Seattle, Vancouver, Portland, Sacramento, San Francisco, West Hollywood, Phoenix, Salt Lake City, Denver, Saint Louis, and Kansas City. Tickets are on sale https://republicrecords.us5.list-manage.com/track/click?u=3051269687d98ad95ab882a80&id=c75202a77c&e=76a40001ec. Not only this, but later this year Sam will also be heading out on his biggest EU and UK headline tour. The tour will see Sam perform across the UK and Europe throughout November and December. He will take to the stage in Manchester, Glasgow, Leeds, Bristol, Birmingham, Brighton, Bournemouth, Madrid, Barcelona, Copenhagen, Stockholm, Oslo, Prague, Hamburg, Warsaw, Munich and Amsterdam.

Interview with The Wild Things
25 JUL. 2024 · We had the pleasure of interviewing The Wild Things over Zoom video!
Fast-rising UK quartet The Wild Things have released “Drunk Again”, the lead single from their sophomore LP Afterglow, set for release later in 2024. Co-produced by Pete Townshend, “Drunk Again” is the perfect soundtrack to a night out at the local dive and further cements The Wild Things as one of rock’s most exciting young acts.
Anchored by a twangy lick from guitarist Rob Kendrick and vocalist Sydney Rae White’s powerful voice, “Drunk Again” is the latest punchy offering from a group with seemingly endless potential. The forthcoming Afterglow record will be an immersive choose-your-own-adventure concept record that tells the story of the residents of the fictional town of Valentine amidst a paranormal phenomenon.
Already a critical favorite (they have been profiled by Kerrang! who declared them “your favorite new band”, Clash who said they are “blazing a trail across London, with their snappy, infectious live show,” and Rolling Stone who praised “their hook-laden riffs, tight melodies, and White’s stage presence”), “Drunk Again” demonstrates The Wild Things’ voracious appetite for power chords, sing-along choruses, and the gripping storytelling of their creative heroes (Pete Townshend, Spielberg, etc). They may sound straight out of the 70s, but The Wild Things are turning their amps up to 11 for a whole new generation of rock and roll fans.
Having honed their live show with high-profile opening gigs for The Who (their first-ever US show was at Madison Square Garden) and KISS, “Drunk Again” builds on the momentum of their recent Friends With Benefits EP (which featured KISS’ Tommy Thayer). Recorded at Pete Townshend’s London studio, the track notably features the legendary guitarist playing a Lowrey Berkshire Deluxe TBO-1 organ - the very same instrument that appears on “Baba O’Riley”. At the end of the sessions, Townshend gifted the organ to the band…a symbolic passing of the torch from one generation to the next.
It’s been a busy 2024 for The Wild Things, whose Friends With Benefits EP featured appearances by Townshend, KISS’ Tommy Thayer, and drag legend Trixie Mattel. In true Rock n Roll fashion, the band celebrated the release by performing atop a bus traveling down Hollywood Boulevard in LA, before taking the stage at The Bourbon Room in Hollywood for a high-octane free performance in front of their adoring stateside fans.
The Wild Things are Sydney Rae White, Rob Kendrick, Pete Wheeler, and Cam White.

Interview with Skylar Simone
23 JUL. 2024 · We had the pleasure of interviewing Skylar Simone over Zoom video!
In the dynamic realm of music, Skylar Simone emerges as one to watch, blending raw authenticity with impeccable control to create a sound that resonates deeply with audiences worldwide. The daughter of an NFL player, Skylar grew up in multiple cities, creating a unique mix of cultural influences. Upon discovering her vocal talent and love for music at the age of 9, she began to hone her performing ability by singing the National Anthem at various stadiums across the country. Her tight-knit family ultimately moved to Los Angeles to support her dream of launching a successful music career. “I feel like I’m this veteran, even though I’m only 22 years old, because I’ve been out here hustling for over a decade,” Skylar reflects.
Skylar's musical journey is a testament to her unwavering dedication and natural talent. From mastering the drums to sharpening her skills on the piano, her versatility defines a uniqueness that demands attention. Drawing inspiration from iconic figures such as Janet Jackson, Whitney Houston, and Minnie Riperton, as well as contemporary artists like SZA and RAYE, Skylar infuses her own unique flair into every note, crafting a signature sound that is emotionally rich.
Skylar formed a clear bond with legendary producer Dernst "D'Mile" Emile II (Bruno Mars, Silk Sonic, Victoria Monet), as evidenced on the title track of her upcoming Def Jam EP release. “Shiver” is a passionately honest song from a distinctly feminine perspective that captures the sweet chase and sensation of romantic touch. “Once my body shakes, you’ll know it’s time,”she expresses between pronounced, exasperated breaths before foreshadowing the feelings evoked by the single: “You’ll know what I like when I shiver"). Her work with D’Mile, which also includes “Shut Up,” leaves Skylar plenty of room to play with texture in clever ways, particularly when it comes to her vocal range, which encompasses a 4-octave kaleidoscope of tones.
Having recently signed with Tunji Balogun and Def Jam Recordings, Skylar is ready to catapult into the next phase of her career with her new EP, Shiver, largely produced in the US, with moments bred in London with Scribz and Talay Riley (Kendrick Lamar, Doja Cat, 21 Savage, Khalid). The project serves as a testament to her artistic growth and evolution, and a musical re-introduction. Exploring themes of love of another and the self, and acting from a place of heartbreak and confidence—as well as finding the latter through the pain of the former—the project embodies the contrasts of human emotion, inviting listeners on a visceral journey of self-discovery. From the flashy, syncopated groove of "Permission" to the aching vulnerability of "Someone Who Cares," each track showcases Skylar's range and prowess as both a vocalist and a storyteller. In everything she touches, visually and sonically, sexy playfulness and buoyant youthful energy reign supreme.
Throughout her career, authenticity and diligence have been Skylar's guiding principles. With lyrics that are equal parts blunt and sweet, she invites listeners into her world: one of self-confidence, acceptance, and motivation to move forward. She is poised to make a lasting impact on the world stage: “There’s this sense of freedom that only music can guide us toward,” Simone reflects. It is here that the true power of her craft, and by extension her voice, blossom.

Interview with The Scarlet Opera
15 JUL. 2024 · We had the pleasure of interviewing The Scarlet Opera over Zoom video!
Soaring higher than ever, buzzing Los Angeles band The Scarlet Opera takes flight on their anticipated new Mirror, Mirror EP out today via SB Projects / Republic Records—listenhttps://thescarletopera.lnk.to/mirrormirrorPR.
Mirror, Mirror celebrates the band’s dramatic vocals, magnetic melodies, and stadium-ready swagger. Among many highlights, new track “What Good Is Love” threads fret-burning guitar through otherworldly synths. Frontman Luka Bazulka’s jaw-dropping delivery resounds as he wonders, “What good is love?” Then, there’s new single “Slutty.” Over a bed of guitar and keys, the verses barely contain the track’s flirty fire, as Luka belts, “You make me so slutty.” Cinematic piano sets the tone for “God Damned Beautiful.” It trumpets an essential personal mantra, “The facts are the facts that I’m god damn beautiful.”
On the release of the EP, the band shares: “For better or for worse, this music ended up being a reflection of our trials and tribulations being a band the past few years—the complexities of falling sucker to industry hype men paralleled eerily well to the simultaneous love affairs happening behind the scenes. Mirror, Mirror will always be a poignant reminder for us to keep our circle tight, the romance in the ride and our joy protected, at all costs. More music, sooner.”
The Scarlet Opera recently teased Mirror, Mirror with their single “https://thescarletopera.lnk.to/SGLEPR.” On “Someone’s Gotta Love ‘Em,” epic guitars resound, cinematic strings soar, and Bazulka emanates the kind of starpower and charisma that comes along once in a generation. The catchy chorus proves instantly chantable as he sets the scene, “I met a bird last night she was drunk at a bar, she said let me introduce you to my friend he’s a star.” Met with critical acclaim, Melodic Magazine hailed, “The single is articulate and theatrical with a splash of rock – a perfect way to welcome summer and an exciting and lively addition to the bands’ setlist.”
It followed the fiery “https://republicrecords.us5.list-manage.com/track/click?u=3051269687d98ad95ab882a80&id=a9cd8f98a8&e=4baad71316,” which beyond picking up steam at DSPs, has earned widespread praise. Popdust dubbed it a “captivating, high energy track that kicks off their new era with a bang,” and The Honey Pop proclaimed, “It’s your dose of rock-and-roll combined with a mixture of badass lyricism, an intoxicating chorus, and a whole lot of infectious melodies.”
Not to mention, they recently wrapped their headlining Catch Me If You Can Tour. Speaking to their standout live performance, RIFF Magazine applauded, “A little bit Queen and a little bit Journey, the band had a cinematic sound with the flair of a Broadway show.” Pit Crew Media noted, “Between their iconic look, over-the-top stage-presence, and quality sound, The Scarlet Opera put on an incredible performance that left fans wanting more,” while The Concert Chronicles praised their live show as “a performance that was nothing short of electrifying.”
Last year, the band released their empowering single “https://republicrecords.us5.list-manage.com/track/click?u=3051269687d98ad95ab882a80&id=e8f4831f1c&e=4baad71316” and beloved debuthttps://republicrecords.us5.list-manage.com/track/click?u=3051269687d98ad95ab882a80&id=e3e6df3fe9&e=4baad71316https://republicrecords.us5.list-manage.com/track/click?u=3051269687d98ad95ab882a80&id=cbaf15a25f&e=4baad71316, which features breakout songs “https://republicrecords.us5.list-manage.com/track/click?u=3051269687d98ad95ab882a80&id=f83e1c0d84&e=4baad71316,” “https://republicrecords.us5.list-manage.com/track/click?u=3051269687d98ad95ab882a80&id=5c10ad6745&e=4baad71316,” “https://republicrecords.us5.list-manage.com/track/click?u=3051269687d98ad95ab882a80&id=55e7bddf40&e=4baad71316,” and “https://republicrecords.us5.list-manage.com/track/click?u=3051269687d98ad95ab882a80&id=b200409661&e=4baad71316.” Amassing millions of streams to date, Comedy landed acclaim courtesy of Rolling Stone, Flaunt, LADYGUNN, Jezebel, Just Jared, Queerty, and more, with HITS Daily Double proclaiming, “The Scarlet Opera blends classic arena pomp rock, neon-bright ’80s pop and more than a dash of Broadway-style virtuosity into an infectious, gender-blending cocktail that its burgeoning fan base finds utterly intoxicating.” Not to mention, the band received a nomination for “Breakthrough Music Artist” at the 2024 GLAAD Media Awards.
ABOUT THE SCARLET OPERA:
Fusing the grandeur of the theatre with the raw energy of rock and roll, The Scarlet Opera – a five piece band hailing from Los Angeles – offers an escape into the throes of love, lust, glamour, and passion. Formed as ‘Perta’ in 2016 and reborn in 2022, The Scarlet Opera is led by lyricist and frontman Luka Bazulka, whose authentic narrative and vocal prowess are matched only by the musical talents of band members Colin Kenrick [keyboard], Daniel Zuker [bass], Justin Siegal [drums], and Chance Taylor [guitar]. The band’s origins are tied to one fateful night when Colin, upon witnessing Luka perform an inspiring solo vocal set, enlisted longtime friends and seasoned musicians Daniel, Chance, and Justin to provide a new dimension to what was already brimming with potential. Word of packed venues and a captivating live show soon drew the attention of SB Projects and Republic Records, who turned to hit songwriter and producer David Stewart [BTS, Jonas Brothers] to collaborate, inspire, and further ignite an already growing fire. During 2023, the group took flight with their debut Comedy EP uplifted to soaring heights by breakout singles “Alive” and “Riot.” In its wake, they made their late-night television debut on The Late Late Show with James Corden and launched a successful tour earmarked by one sold out gig after another, with Jezebel hailing their live show as “a spectacle of Queen-inspired proportions.” Along the way, they incited further critical praise from Rolling Stone, Flaunt, HITS Daily Double, Popdust, LADYGUNN, and The Honey Pop, who applauded them as “one of our favorite bands.” After receiving a nomination for “Breakthrough Music Artist” at the 2024 GLAAD Media Awards and headlining a tour across the country this past spring, The Scarlet Opera now level up again with the dramatic and dynamic Mirror, Mirror EP, including the singles “Catch Me If You Can” and “Someone’s Gotta Love ‘Em.”

Interview with Letdown.
11 JUL. 2024 · We had the pleasure of interviewing Letdown. over Zoom video!
Alt-rock sensation Letdown. returns with yet another captivating and irresistibly catchy track. The Chicago/Nashville-based singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist has unleashed his latest hit-you-in-the-feels single, “https://letdown.lnk.to/Raincoat”, released via Big Loud Rock. The song is the latest offering from Letdown.’s much-anticipated debut album due out later this year.
Introduced by a simple percussive beat and the electric twang of a plucked guitar, “Raincoat” storms onto the scene as an anthemic storytelling of roller coaster relationships. Featuring bold, pointed lyrics such as, ‘Apologize a thousand times a week now,’ the track gains momentum, steadily evolving into a punk-infused crescendo. Driven by punchy drums, the song is underscored by the roaring of a crowd begging the question, “What did I do this time?”.
When asked about the inspiration behind the song, Letdown. revealed that it explores "the bittersweet dance of two individuals trapped in a relationship they both yearn to escape. 'Raincoat' encapsulates the torment of a relationship riddled with apologies yet devoid of solutions, exploring the intricate dynamics of remaining in a situation neither party truly enjoys. It vividly portrays the struggles and contradictions inherent in toxic relationships."
The new tune follows the success of Letdown.’s last single, "Hate Myself," which is currently making waves on Alternative Radio as the #1 Most Added Track its first week at the format and climbing to #32 on the Mediabase Alternative chart where it currently sits. This is his second impressive showing at radio with earlier hit, "Crying In The Shower," peaking inside the Top 20 at U.S. Alternative Radio.
Letdown. expanded his global audience significantly last year through tours across Europe and the U.S., along with captivating performances at festivals such as Summerfest, Louder Than Life, and Aftershock. Letdown. will be hitting the road this summer performing on the Idobi Radio Summer School tour alongside Stand Atlantic, Magnolia Park, The Home Team, Scene Queen, and Honey Revenge.
ABOUT LETDOWN.
Letdown. (period included) may have started as a pandemic project for Blake Coddington, but the Chicago/Nashville-based rocker is in a very different place in 2023. Having spent the last three years cultivating a fervent fan base through a number of single releases and emerging as a striking live act — finally bringing his music into the physical lives of his online fans across several sold-out, headlining shows this past year — Coddington is rapidly growing his presence away from the internet for the first time in Letdown.’s short history.
The powerful vocals and emotional lyrics over catchy, upbeat drums and guitars originally served as a cathartic way for the songwriter to express himself while working a dead-end job that he hated. But 2022 saw Letdown. being signed to Big Loud Rock and moving beyond his beginnings as a viral, at-home musician. This year, however, represents a whole new start for the vocalist, or as Coddington himself puts it: “It’s Season II of Letdown., and it’s definitely the biggest chapter yet.”
It was just three years ago that he began throwing videos on YouTube expecting to get a few hundred views, yet now he’s become a known and respected musical commodity both in-person and online with over 660K followers and 5.5M likes on TikTok, 47+ million views on his YouTube channel, over 100+ million overall artist streams and editorial playlisting from the likes of Spotify’s All New Rock, New Noise, Rock Out and Rock Hard.
Chronicling Coddington’s internal struggle as he searches for answers in times of darkness, uncertainty and self-doubt, his 2023 EP Crying In The Shower features a collection of stadium-sized singles led by the title track that is the perfect example of the wild, emotional ride that Letdown. enjoys taking his fans on. Behind the reactive hook and catchy rhythm, Letdown. navigates listeners through the experience and inner turmoil of trying to get over someone you can’t forget. With the release of the EP, Coddington remains thrilled for the development of Letdown. as well as having the opportunity to connect with those who have found solace in his powerful online community.

Interview with Gina Alice
8 JUL. 2024 · We had the pleasure of interviewing Gina Alice over Zoom video!
International star, accomplished pianist, and dynamic vocalist Gina Alice shares her debut single “Slo-Mo” available now. It stands out as her first release for Republic Records, following her recent signing to the label. Listen to “Slo-Mo” https://republicrecords.us5.list-manage.com/track/click?u=3051269687d98ad95ab882a80&id=bdae51b7e3&e=76a40001ec.
Known worldwide for her impressive instrumentation, the track illustrates another facet of her artistry for the first time as she leans into a seductive blend of pop, R&B and cinematic soul. Meanwhile, she showcases her range on “Slo-Mo.” Handclaps accent the synth-laden production, while her voice hovers over the soundscape. She opens up without filter, and she issues a flirty invitation on the chorus, “Turn the lights low, love me slo-mo.”
About the song, she commented, “It started with me playing piano chords. I was vibing over the harmonies and finding the mood. It’s more of a sexy and vibey song. It’s about this feeling when you meet someone and connect. You really feel the good moments, but they pass too fast, so you want them in ‘Slo-Mo’. When you hear it, I hope you feel yourself and have fun in the moment.”
Gina has made headlines throughout 2024. She collaborated with her husband and iconic pianist Lang Lang on his latest full-length album, Saint-Saëns. She notably contributed to 18 of the 32 total tracks.
Now, she embarks on her biggest, boldest, and brightest chapter yet with more music to come, beginning with “Slo-Mo.”
ABOUT GINA ALICE:
Renowned for her virtuosic piano playing on stages around the globe, vibrant personality on television in Asia, and inimitable presence, Gina Alice has emerged as an international star on her own terms. Balancing classical prestige and fashion-forward panache, she’s the rare force of nature to be selected as an official Steinway Artist and grace the pages of Vogue, Elle, and Harper’s Bazaar in addition to locking down alliances with Dior, Guerlain, De Beers, and Roger Vivier. She shines in her mega-popular reality show Gina’s Motel—which averages a weekly audience of 300 million-plus across China. Following widespread success in classical with her acclaimed Wonderworld album and more, Gina started to showcase her voice. Disney recruited her to bring “River of Memories” to life in the Chinese version of the blockbuster Frozen 2. Collaborating with husband Lang Lang on his The Disney Book LP, she notably performed “When You Wish Upon a Star” in Chinese, English, and Korean for the project. Not to mention, the couple co-starred in the Disney+ special, Lang Lang Plays Disney. Simultaneously, she performed on some of the most hallowed stages in the world, including Hollywood Bowl, Radio City Music Hall, Carnegie Hall, and Royal Albert Hall. As if sharing a secret she couldn’t wait to disclose, she finally realizes one of her most intimate dreams, picking up the microphone and making her pop debut as a solo artist for Republic Records in 2024.
Stay tuned for more news and announcements coming soon.

Listen https://republicrecords.us5.list-manage.com/track/click?u=3051269687d98ad95ab882a80&id=0ef0bebb35&e=76a40001ec. Physical products are available athttps://republicrecords.us5.list-manage.com/track/click?u=3051269687d98ad95ab882a80&id=d4a52575fa&e=76a40001ec, featuring CDs, vinyl, t-shirts, and fan packs [CD/t-shirt or vinyl/t-shirt]. Today the band also unveiled their new music video for “Six Feet Deep,” which made its global broadcast premiere on MTV Live, MTVU, MTV Biggest Pop and across MTV’s global network of channels, as well as on the Paramount Times Square billboards.
About the record, the band commented, “This new album is the result of our rawest emotions and most meaningful connections with people we’ve gotten to know and work with these past few years. We're incredibly proud of this music and we can't wait for you to make it yours. From our hearts to you, this is Keep Me Fed.”
Keep Me Fed finds the group at the peak of their powers. Over the course of thirteen tracks, the album balances stadium-size hooks with airtight riffing and thunderous rhythms. In talking about the story behind the decision to name the album Keep Me Fed, “throughout the whole process, the work was consuming us,” says Pau. “By impacting everything we did, the album kept us fed both creatively and personally. We’re inviting other people to participate and consume it too.”
Pre-release singles featured “MORE” (performed at the 2023 MTV VMAs [https://republicrecords.us5.list-manage.com/track/click?u=3051269687d98ad95ab882a80&id=b066f67009&e=76a40001ec]), “S!CK” which climbed to Top 8 at Active Rock and #8 on Billboard’s Mainstream Rock Chart, music videos for “Burnout” & Spanish track “Qué Más Quieres” premered with MTV, as well as “Hell You Call A Dream” and “Automatic Sun” which are already fan favorites to hear live. Revolver applauded, “Like the Mexican sister-trio’s previous output, it's undeniably infectious,” and Classic Rock hailed it as a “shot-in-the-arm of propulsive, fire-spitting hard rock.” Rolling Stone pegged it as one of “All The Songs You Need To Know This Week.”
The trio will embark on the ‘Keep Me Fed’ US headline tour this September & October, making stops in New York, Los Angeles, Nashville, and more, before joining Evanescence and Halestorm on tour in Canada. Check out the full confirmed itinerary below. Fans can purchase tickets here: https://republicrecords.us5.list-manage.com/track/click?u=3051269687d98ad95ab882a80&id=aafdd22686&e=76a40001ec
Thus far in 2024, The Warning performed at ShipRocked in the Caribbean, Mexico’s prestigious Pa’l Norte & Vive Latino Festivals, sold-out their April EU/UK headline tour, just wrapped their first headlining tour of Japan that included a show with Band-Maid, and will return overseas to EU/UK for summer festivals. Looking ahead to 2025, the band sold-out the 10k capacity Auditorio Nacional in Mexico City in less than 48 hours.
The Warning are as hungry as ever on Keep Me Fed, and they’re about to sink their teeth into 2024. Catch them on tour in the US this fall.
ABOUT THE WARNING:
The Warning draw strength and power from a lifetime of sisterhood and music. The Mexico-born sister trio—Daniela “Dany” [guitar, lead vocals, piano], Paulina “Pau” [drums, vocals, piano], and Alejandra “Ale” Villarreal [bass, piano, backing vocals]—have logged thousands of miles on the road, generated hundreds of millions of streams, and left countless fans in awe. All of this tireless work and dedication has shaped and sharpened their sound with knifepoint precision, arming alternative anthems with universally catchy hooks and an uncompromising hard rock kick. The girls have devoted themselves to a shared dream since their childhood in Monterrey, Mexico. They initially made waves with a string of independent releases, paving the way for their acclaimed 2022 full-length offering ERROR. Between performing alongside Muse, Foo Fighters, Guns N’ Roses, Royal Blood, The Pretty Reckless, Three Days Grace and Imagine Dragons, the band ignited MTV’s Extended Play Stage at the 2023 MTV VMAs.

Interview with Your Future Ghost
24 JUN. 2024 · We had the pleasure of interviewing Your Future Ghost over Zoom video!
Your Future Ghost is the new synth pop/rock musical project of Billboard-charting singer/songwriter, musician and actress Kate Voegele and the multifaceted songwriter, producer, composer and actor Michael Grubbs. The duo first met on the set, acting in the popular CW hit TV series One Tree Hill. Striking up a fast friendship and mutual creative respect, the two began collaborating musically over zoom during the pandemic. After months of studio sessions in Austin, Texas, intermingled with lively backyard taco breaks, Your Future Ghost was born. Kate Voegele reveals the catalyst for their creative fusion, "our voices blended in a way that inspired us both to write in this unique hemisphere of a sound neither of us had ever really explored before in our solo projects." The two soon performed their signature dirty indie synth pop at the internationally recognized Art Basel festival in Miami to an overwhelming response affirming their artistic direction.
Their upcoming album features a collection of joyful, wild and dark pop songs. With a powerful blend of big guitars, thunderous drums, and striking synths, Your Future Ghost has crafted an album inspired by, according to Voegele, "finding the fun, the party, and the refuge in the chaos of a post-apocalyptic world.”
Leading single "We've Got Places" is a single all about about that place where you find refuge from whatever noise is going on in the world - whether it's an actual place, a person, or something else, I think we all have those places where we can escape the chaos and be ourselves," confides Kate. The track features stunning layered harmonies and lush instrumentation for an enticing listen.
Meanwhile, the explosive indie dance party anthem "PRITTY" merges new wave, punk, and electro-pop, creating an intoxicating blend that explores the allure of infatuation and the lengths we go to tolerate someone's messy behavior. Kate confides, "The song is about being a little unhinged but also irresistible. You're self-aware enough to know you're kind of a mess, but you also not sorry about it because you're a god damned blast to have around. It's kind of about just knowing that the weirdest thing about you is probably also the coolest thing about you, and not being afraid to celebrate that even if it makes some people mad or uncomfortable."
Inspired by community, their experiences in the spotlight, and the freedom of living authentically and unapologetically, Your Future Ghost embodies a captivating paradox. Grubbs shares, "I would like to encourage folks to accept themselves. Which isn’t easy. I’m like this sadboy emo dude and Kate is this singer-songwriter pop star, and together we’re making this dirty indie album because that’s who we’ve always really been inside." Their music is poised to make a resounding impact, showcasing the boundless talent and unbridled creativity of Your Future Ghost.

Interview with Donna Lewis
19 JUN. 2024 · We had the pleasure of interviewing Donna Lewis over Zoom video!
The new album ‘Rooms With A View’ is a collaboration between celebrated singer and songwriter Donna Lewis and renowned electronic artist and producer Holmes Ives.
More than just an album though, the record documents Donna’s year long journey through breast cancer: “Cancer was the un-invited messenger, the darkdweller who I sought to banish with the love of my family, brilliant doctors and my art”.
In 2021 Donna Lewis was about to celebrate the 25th Anniversary of her breakthrough smash hit single ‘I Love You, Always Forever’ and her debut album, ‘Now In A Minute’ when a routine medical check up, (delayed by the pandemic), brought her the news that no-one ever wants to hear.
All plans in place to mark the anniversary, the tour dates, the live TV special, the remixes, were all put on hold to deal with more urgent matters. Donna then spent the next year or so undergoing treatment and surgery, all the while actively writing and recording, before finally late in 2022 she felt ready to prepare for releasing new music once again.
Donna had been introduced to the work of electronic artist and producer Holmes Ives in 2021 when he had created a reworking of a piano vocal track she had released called ‘I Told You So’. Since then she had always wanted to further collaborate with him so when it came time to get creative again she suggested they write maybe 2 or 3 tracks together as a potential release for the two of them.
All done remotely, they have yet to meet in person, musical ideas were passed back and forth and Holmes worked up tracks for Donna to write lyrics to.
As Donna began the creative writing process, she soon realised that without any intent to do so, every set of lyrics going down on the page all represented a different chapter of what she had experienced over the preceding year. Some cryptically capture the trauma and the fear of the diagnosis and treatment while others were observational recollections of more mundane aspects, such as her favorite nurse or the different views from the various treatment rooms. What had been intended to be a four track EP now became an album as how the chapters of the story unfolded made it impossible to convey this momentous journey in anything less.
“The instrumental tracks that Holmes Ives sent me coaxed the lyrics from the pages of my journals and inspired an album of stories, unlocking fears, and the climb to a healthier me -mind, body and spirit”
Donna’s strong and inspiring lyrics, enhanced by her expressive vocal prowess which she has become famous for, married seamlessly with the driving rhythmic dimensions of Holmes Ives stunning sound-beds and has resulted in an awe -inspiring testament of strength, gratitude and facing fears. As well as providing an immensely satisfying musical listening experience, it also relays support and inspiration to anyone who needs it, no matter whatever the reasons in this ever more challenging world of today.
“It is an offering of hope for anyone going through a dark tunnel. I am forever grateful to share it with you”.
