Do you remember that time you discovered your favorite band? What was that like? How

did it feel? Over the years we have found different ways of discovering new music and

other formats of entertainment. Some of you already remember the first time you bought

a vinyl record or a CD.

WHAT TO

EXPECT

For me, it was one of the best experiences when I bought an AC/DC CD freshly bought

ready to be played at full volume in my parent's Hi-Fi system. The physical aspect of the

release always was something that stayed with me for a long time and I loved the whole

experience of having that CD, inserting it into the system, controlling the volume and

listening to my favorite tracks over and over again. Everything that came along with the

CD was a bonus, you could look at pictures, read about the band and have something to

do while experiencing their music.

Right now most music is released in digital formats and you can't really experience this.

Magazines were also something that introduced me to my favorite bands back in the day.

I remember reading about the Killers long before listening to their hits on the radio. Still, the

physical aspect of the discovery was significant, for me at least. Of course, it's a lot easier

to find out great music these days and not buy seven different CDs to discover what you

like.

Enough with the past though, let's move to today, you can stream music, films and series

and many people don't bother buying magazines or CDs. I am one of these people who

loves to collect things and I also own many video games in digital and physical format.

Even though some of my favorite video games are in a library on my computer, I always

cherish the time I take to look through the case of an older video game, its pamphlets and

artwork.

In the wastelands of a post-apocalyptic world, remnants of civilization lie in ruins and the undead roam desolate golf courses.

Amidst the bodies strewn along the northern hills emerge the agents of chaos: Golf Corpse. Born from the ashes Hamilton,

Ontario, this thrash metal gang has spent the last two years shredding through the chaos, and now they're ready to unleash their

debut self-titled EP upon the world. Dropping June 07, 2024 - the album infuses darkened themes of golf and zombies together

into a hurricane of annihilation. And while they threaten to vent their first release, Golf Corpse is ready to hit the scene with a

vengeance. With a summer set to deliver electrifying performances in the underground bunkers of the Canadian wasteland, the

group is hungry to thrash and bash the crowds of their newfound fans. This band of unalive golfers is poised to melt stages,

courses, and minds alike. Brace yourselves for the onslaught, as Golf Corpse heralds the apocalypse one riff after another.

Steadfast to the deep-rooted signature sound of the Louisiana

metal/hardcore scene, emerges DECOY with their ferocious vocals,

aggressively dissonant guitars and pummeling low end. Casting their brand

upon the music scene in the summer of 2017, DECOY have methodically

developed into a powder-keg of undetonated explosives. Drawing

inspiration from heavy-weights such as Hatebreed, Converge, Vein and All

Shall Perish, DECOY are on a fast-track trajectory that will certainly propel

this quintet into the national touring circuit. Establishing a reputation for

their high-energy stage presence, DECOY are commanding audiences well

beyond their home state. Adding to Jonah Smith vocals, he is joined by

Lucien Champton on drums, Bobby Burnette and Matt Rumfellow on guitars

along with his brother Chris Rumfellow on bass. Their style of metallic

hardcore hits hard and deep pushing the boundaries of controlled chaos.

Conjuring the deep internal demons that fester uncontrollably, DECOY have

channeled the dark, transposing their angst into a crushing construct. Look

for new music and tours coming from DECOY. In the meantime, check out

their latest release, Re:Selection, out now on all streaming platforms!

“Massive sludgy heavy sound! A great

addition to your Metal playlist!”

Stammer Announces

Release of Highly

Anticipated Single

"Mother"

The five members of Stammer met in Nashville in 2022. By combining heavy distorted

guitar tones with feminine vocals, they created an ethereal sound they call Dreamgaze.

They take inspiration from bands like My Bloody Valentine, The Smashing Pumpkins and

Mazzy Star. Mother is the second single of Stammer’s first EP self titled “Stammer”. At its

heart, the song is about feeling disappointed and rejected by the world, communicating

thoughts of “everybody must know something I don’t”. The lyric, “Mama, I don’t like it

here”, does not reference a physical place, but rather the mental state of going through life

on the outside. The vulnerability in the lyrics combined with heavy distorted guitar

melodies makes for a dreamy and melancholic listening experience. Stammer creates big

soundscapes designed to transcend the listener to another world.

“A fusion of genres in the best way possible! Just

what a great Rock song should sound like!”

Christine Tarquinio Ushers in

Hope and Reflection with New

Single 'New Year’s Day'

Hailing from Melbourne, Australia,

Christine Tarquinio has established

herself as a highly accomplished singersongwriter

and recording artist. Her

musical journey began with the release

of her debut single, ‘Didn't Even Try’,

which set the stage for her ongoing

exploration of sound and expression.

With an unwavering dedication to

creating exceptional music, Christine

collaborates with musicians, producers,

and sound engineers who share her

vision. She finds immense satisfaction in

watching her song ideas blossom into

their full potential, thanks to her talented

creative team.

With her honest and meaningful lyrics

paired with catchy melodies, Christine

Tarquinio has long been an

acknowledged name in the Melbourne

music scene, and alongside production

alchemist, Daniel Nieberg who produced,

mixed, and mastered "New Year's Day",

the track is set to excite her fans. The

enthusiasm and reflection that come

with the new year and its distinctive

qualities are perfectly captured in the

song. Christine beautifully conveys the

sense of hope and expectation that

permeates everyone's New Year's

Resolutions. After a brief period of

returning to our regular routines,

realisation dawns. Nevertheless, the

song keeps growing, much like Christine's

life has been over the past few months

as a series of profound events have

occurred one after another. "I wrote

'New Year's Day' at the beginning of this

year, feeling like nothing had changed

despite the new calendar. But as the

months have gone on, I've had moments

that have truly altered how I appreciate

life's little things. This song reflects both

the hope and the reality that new year’s

bring." Christine Tarquinio

“A track that touches the

experimental genre, with so

many different elements

while keeping everything

interesting and fresh!”

First generation Scottish/Italian, living in

DUNDEE, Scotland. I have been in bands

since I was 13 years old, primarily moving to

heavier bands from age 15 onwards. After

spending close to 10 years as a vocalist for

a multitude of bands while writing and

recording guitars, I decided to go solo with

the alias YUNGDROP. In doing so, I found a

unique blend of low & heavy by looking for

music sewn together with low 8O8s and

heavy guitars. I write and record music,

looking to create something heavier, darker

and more poignant than most. With each

release, comes a harsh reality behind the

words written. It's okay to enjoy the doom.

track is incredible! Such a

great sound!”

Hot off the release of the Illustrious EP

'VOL 1. SUPERDEAD', Suffer The Evenue

have wasted little time and brought an

exceptional amount of heat with their

new release in 'VOL 2. SUPERDEADER'.

The latest instalment from a likely EP

Trilogy is a remarkable progression

from Volume 1. Not only in the writing

and performance, but also in the quality

in the production. Accompanied with an

engaging, unhinged music video, the

lead single 'A New Empire' is a stand

out. It sounds and feels like an absolute

journey, with fun, peppy grooves

surrounded by poisonous hooks. If 'VOL

2. SUPERDEADER' is a declaration of

where this band is going, volume 3 and

beyond is something to be highly

thirsted for.

“Amazing drumming and such a

heavy sound!”

TRANSIT COP ANNOUNCES TRIUMPHANT

RETURN WITH NEW EP AND FIRST SINGLE

IN 17 YEARS

Transit Cop is an indie rock band from

Cheltenham, UK. Made up of Guy Lewis,

Marcus Attwood, Andy Brotherton, Paul

Richards, and Russ Mulligan. The last time

we played a gig with the five of us on stage

was in the summer of 2007. Back then, we

were going places. We'd played scores of

sweat-drenched, sold-out gigs - headlining

and supporting the bigger boys. The

reviews were pouring in... "Dirt pop

basement rock... There's a car crash, in one

car Howard Devoto's Magazine. In the

other New York's Interpol. Emerging from

the wreck..." Tracks were demoed and

ready for recording our debut album. We'd

just cut a video for the first planned single.

We ran our own Indie club night in

Cheltenham, UK. But then, out of the blue,

Andy, our drummer, got offered his dream

place at university, and just like that, we

imploded - like a hundred thousand other

bands. We share that story. But we never

played a goodbye gig. We never changed

our socials from "Transit Cop" to "Transit

Cop RIP" (yeah, that literally was a thing!).

We couldn't bring ourselves to officially

end it. So we didn't - resolved that one day

we'd be back on stage together. Back in

the studio. Then we blinked and half a

lifetime of jobs and families (there are nine

TC kids now), whizzed by. And now we're

ready to have another go. So we got

together and talked about recording a new

album and remembered the material we

recorded back then but didn't release, that

we could refine, remix, and remaster. So we

started with finishing up the old songs, and

we're releasing them this year... then on to

the new album. Maybe now is the right

time? Maybe now that we don't live in the

indie landfill era we used to (when every

boy and his brother were in a guitar band),

our music will have the chance to cut

through the smoke and feedback and

shine like it could have. "He Brings

Trouble," the first single of five being

released this year, is out Friday, May 17th,

2024.

Indie rock and post-punk band Transit

Cop is back with a vengeance, ready to

shake the music scene with their new EP

"Shake Out Your Sorrow" set to release on

October 4, 2024. Following up on their

first single “He Brings Trouble” is their

much-anticipated second single, "Take

What You Want", dropping today, June

14, 2024. This marks the band's second

new release in 17 years, signalling a

powerful comeback for the group.

Guy Lewis reflects on their journey, "Maybe now is

the right time? Maybe now that we don't live in the

indie landfill era we used to (when every boy and

his brother were in a guitar band), our music will

have the chance to cut through the smoke and

feedback and shine like it could have."

EON

THE UNKNOWN DARK

Eon emerges as a

Dark Tranquillity, and

Beyond Creation. Eon

creates a unique

themes from

astronomy and

paleontology and

existentialism.

Their music envelops

atmosphere of cosmic

horror, where brutality

is mixed with

reflection on the

smallness of human

beings in the face of

the immensity of the

universe. Eon not only

offers a feast of

crushing riffs and

solos, innovative and

and gut-wrenching

MONOTOSHI HOME

Growing up with a profound love for music, Montoshi knew from a young age that his future

would be intricately intertwined with the art form. With roots in music that run deep, it was in

2020 that he decided to fully immerse himself in the realm of musical expression. "Blockhead"

emerges as the natural progression from Montoshi's previous work on "Shower Thoughts Vol.1,"

where he reconnected with his guitar after an 8-year hiatus. Through "Blockhead," Montoshi

refines his guitar skills to convey profound emotions and personal growth through music. Delving

into the thematic core of the album, Montoshi reveals, "I wanted 'Blockhead' to serve as a

portrayal of the struggles we face with overthinking, stubbornness, and the complexities of past

versus present relationships." Collaborating with his close friend "SKUNK," tracks such as "Apirl

20th" and "Running Away" took shape. In a quirky twist, the intentional misspelling of "Apirl 20th"

reflects Montoshi’s drive for perfectionism, highlighting how even the minutest details can

become significant. Montoshi's artistic journey is not just a personal exploration but a testament

to the power of music to connect, provoke thought, and evoke strong emotions in listeners.

"Blockhead" is now available on various streaming platforms, offering listeners a window into

Montoshi's introspective world and immersive musical landscape. Join Montoshi on this musical

odyssey, and experience the depth and sincerity that "Blockhead" has to offer

HIPSKÖR is a blend of hardcore/metalcore sprinkled with electro for a

fun and explosive live atmosphere! FFO: Electric Callboy. We chose to

base this campaign on "DANSU" because this song and its music

video perfectly represent the style and spirit of the band. We will soon

be recording new songs set to be released by the end of the year.

Additionally, we are looking for concert dates and we are going to

play at several french festivals this year, such as Hellfest, Mozhell

Open Air, Omega Sound Fest and Kreiz Y Fest.

ROMI O

RELEASES

NEW

SINGLE:

“The Name"

photo by @si__fish

Romi O is a singer and songwriter who puts creativity and passion

first. Her most recent studio work is an amazing new release titled

M2M (produced by NY based producer Daniel Blonde), and it feels like

the culmination of a truly one-of-a-kind musical journey. For this

reason, understanding the flow of this track requires a bit of a

backstory about the artist. This is actually the second single from her

upcoming debut album, which is expected to be released later in 2023.

Her music style evolved from quintessential ballads to something

unique and bittersweet. Romi O’s music is special because of the

juxtaposition of understated textures, relatable lyrics, and hard-hitting

grooves. By the time she turned 22, the artist relocated to Brooklyn,

NY, where she sought a fresh start in music. She co-founded the band

“PowerSnap” to pursue high-octane punk and garage aesthetics.

Eventually, she circled back to her initial fondness for ballads. However,

the resulting sound is truly one-of-a-kind, still retaining more

immediate elements from punk and alternative music but coming to

light in a soothing, softer way that makes her sound all the more

intriguing and dynamic. Her chosen stage name comes from the

beloved figure of “Romeo,” from Shakespeare’s timeless “Romeo and

Juliette” play. Being a huge fan of Shakespeare herself, the artist felt a

truly special connection to the character, and it felt like a perfect

moniker.

“A track that touches the

experimental genre, with so

many different elements

while keeping everything

interesting and fresh!”

Indiefferential

Creating what she calls "ADHD Music," a unique fusion of the genres

she enjoys, Romi O crafts a vibrant and eclectic soundscape that

mirrors her dynamic personality. Stylistically, the music is incredibly

diverse, highlighting Romi O's broad-ranging musical focus. Her style

could be seamlessly described as a blend of alt-rock intensity and folk

elegance, falling somewhere in between those two directions. On one

hand, her music is nuanced, understated, and easy to relate to. On the

other, she brings so much depth and urgency to her sound, not only by

way of the aesthetics of the music but also due to her lyrical honesty.

Romi O is indeed the kind of artist who approaches difficult topics with

a fearless attitude. This is an amazing way for her to connect with

people and share something on a deeper, more personal level with the

audience. The Name is going to be the artist's 3rd single from her

upcoming album, and it will also be released with a matching music

video. The visuals accompanying the song are well-executed, and the

stylistic choices of the clip are a perfect match with the sonic

aesthetic of this release. It's authentically personal, grassroots, and

down-to-earth, almost like a dream within a dream. Notably, the video

was shot mostly on a camcorder, giving it a more organic, grungy latenineties

static that matches the authenticity of the song. The video

depicts the feeling of alienation that comes from living in an urban

space, while also connecting with the conceptual angle of the song

lyrics in a visually poetic way. The album, which features a total of 10

tracks, has a very broad sonic spectrum, with softer songs alternating

with intense moments and a stunning ethereal vibe. More importantly,

Romi O's lyrics remain incredibly personal and intelligent, making her

songs poignant and remarkably dynamic from a storytelling

standpoint.


ARROWS OF

ATHENA

INSANITY

Arrows of Athena is a cinematic alt-rock

and alt-pop duo based in Boston,

Massachusetts. Composed of Scott

Lerner (guitar, bass, synths and drum

programming) and Jac-Lyn Gibson

(vocals, the project began when two

friends decided to make music together

after 15 years apart. Their rekindled

chemistry was instant, and the first batch

of songs recorded just after the

pandemic would go on to shape what

would become their debut album The

Ghost Archives, set for April 2024 release

via Belhaven Records. The record is

preceded by a pair of singles - ethereal

debut effort "Fade Away" and the

propulsive "Reckless Heart" - which both

showcase the band's dramatic,

panoramic sound: a kaleidoscopic pop

and rock spectrum of big dance beats,

heavy riffs and melodic intensity. With

each song swirling in a kinetic sense of

love, loss and yearning, Lerner's guitar

riffage, coupled with synth dynamics and

punchy bass and drums is paired with

Gibson's beautiful, and at times soulful,

vocals for a fresh sonic palette that is

both powerful and unique.

“A sound that could be

described as pure

bliss!”

Indiefferential

Voidchaser is a progressive metal band based in Montreal and Stockholm. With their latest

single "Star Crossed-Lovers," they continue to push the boundaries of the genre. The track

and Me, and Haken.

lead guitar, Jici LG on bass and synthesizer, and André Ouellette on drums. Together, they

exhibit a remarkable synergy, mastering the art of delivering both heavy and dynamic musical

experiences.

"Odyssey," their debut EP released on February 2, 2024, encapsulates this ethos perfectly. It

EDDIE & THE WOLVES

THE DEVIL'S WRONG,

BUT NOT TO BLAME

Eddie & The Wolves, are a UK Based rock band with a blues influence, announcing the

release of their newest single "Not The Fix" on March 31, 2023. This emotional and

thought-provoking track delves deep into the often-overlooked struggles of mental

health. With haunting melodies and evocative lyrics, "Not The Fix" explores the inner

turmoil of constantly seeking a cure or a way to feel better, only to find that the fix is

temporary or never quite enough. The song's lyrics capture the pain of feeling like you're

always on the outside looking in, and the tear between wanting to feel okay and never

quite feeling like yourself.

“Pure Rock! This is for those

who appreciate a great

massive stoner Rock sound!”

Emerging independent artist Kyro has unveiled a powerful new single titled "Bon Iver," a poignant pop-rock anthem

that delves into the emotional turmoil of a fleeting romance shadowed by impending separation. At just 22 years old,

hailing originally from Philadelphia and now based in Los Angeles, Kyro brings a fresh perspective and raw

authenticity to his music. "Bon Iver" encapsulates the bittersweet essence of a one-week stand turned heartache,

exploring the pain of realizing someone you just began to care for is now moving away. Driven by Kyro's emotive

vocals and dynamic guitar-driven melodies, "Bon Iver" will resonate with listeners on a deeply personal level,

capturing the vulnerability and resilience intertwined in matters of the heart. The track showcases Kyro's ability to

blend introspective lyricism with infectious pop-rock hooks, creating an unforgettable musical experience. "I wanted

to capture that mind-numbing feeling of connection and the inevitable ache that follows when someone you just met

tells you they're never gonna see you again," Kyro explains. "‘Bon Iver’ is about embracing the intensity of the moment

while grappling with the reality of separation."

"Ecdysis" features an upbeat verse that sets a

relentless pace, transitioning into an earwormlevel

hook for the chorus. The song’s soaring

ethereal bridge provides a moment of

introspective calm before diving into an

earthmoving breakdown that will leave listeners

in awe. This dynamic track encapsulates the

band’s evolution, blending aggressive posthardcore

elements with melodic alt-metal

influences.

After a near year of hiatus, FieldHockey comes roaring

back into the scene with a new, heavy, and visceral take in

their single "Ecdysis". With a band that has been together

since the eve of 2020, they have been through a ton of

crazy moments together, from playing all over the general

area, to full stop due to the pandemic and now with a

completely fresh lineup, the band has not missed a step.

In fact with the release of "Ecdysis" and the promise of

more to come, there isn't a better time than right now to

hop on the "goalies" train, as the members affectionately

refer to their fans. With a new direction upon the horizon

that is not only bright but laden with brutal breakdow

with anyone navigating the complexities of self-discovery and a desire to forge a deeper connection

with themselves and all of creation.

WHAT IF IT ALL WORKS OUT?

A hopeful indie anthem from Indigo Daydream, this sounds like their best music yet.

“It's easy to feel overwhelmed by bad news. Climate change, war, politics, everything!

Writing this song seemed like an antidote to my anxiety. What if it all works out? It's

possible right?” Nick, Indigo Daydream Talking about the songwriting process, Nick

Cheshire aka Indigo Daydream explains that “the song felt like a form of self therapy.

The verses kind of focus on what's going on inside my head most of the time; the

worries, anxieties, but then I stop and ask myself, 'What if it all works out?' and that's

the anthemic chorus.” Out everywhere June 21, 'What If It All Works Out?” is the first

of five tracks to be released on an upcoming debut EP which is being released in

October in support of the Green Music Program. Nick explains, “We've brought

together musicians from around the world to help make our music in a more

sustainable and environmentally conscious way. For my part, I've set up a tree planting

and gifting project called Little Free Trees. It makes me happy to feel like I'm doing

something positive for the planet. Let's face it, if I want the chorus of the song to come

true, I've got to do what I can to make it happen.” 'What if it all Works Out?' will form

part of a limited edition vinyl EP released in October alongside a concert where the

musicians and bands from the Green Music Program will each perform live from around

the world. If we all work together and help one another, maybe, just maybe, it will all

Uncle Skunk

Drone Song

Infamous NYC rock band and Cropsey Records’ newest signee,

Uncle Skunk announces their most anticipated record to date - II

- a titanic six-song EP that aims to destroy the American

recording industry and set the new standard for excellence in

rock and roll. This “mammoth live act” (Look At My Records)

took to the studio in the summer of 2023 with a fistful of dollars

and a dastardly intent - to tarnish the ears of every last listener

through the force of their melodious guitars, hypnotic synths,

and vivacious rhythms.

And boy, have they succeeded! Fans exposed to these six songs

have been rendered incapable of functioning normally in

everyday life. You may see them everywhere, in a trance-like

state, humming the infectious verses of ‘Old Violence’,

shredding air guitar solos to ‘Found A Way’, and tapping the

rhythms of ‘Drone Song’ on any surface in sight. In anticipation

of mass hysteria, several U.S. states have already considered

banning this record before it can hit the airwaves. Listen now!

Before it’s too late….

“Such a great build up with some

The scene is set with fear as the song begins with a metal groove

that leaves you feeling like you have walked into a blood rave. As

the verse makes you walk through the crowd of starving

vampires, the chorus throws you into the jaws of your immortal

transformation. Once you have accepted your fate, the end of the

song guides you to the start of your new life as a DAYWALKER.

Maja Burton, a native of Austin, Texas is at the forefront of MBUR's captivating sound. Her vocals possess an intoxicating

mix - a spellbinding tapestry that leaves audiences awe-struck. Joining Maja are other Austin-based and immensely

talented heavies that have performed with LIVE and Band of Heathens, among others. But MBUR's appeal extends far

beyond their impressive musical prowess. Their lyrics delve into thought-provoking topics such as mental illness, war,

feminism, and the experience of being an outsider. Embracing a raw and honest approach, MBUR presents their songs with

an abstract coolness. “Watch Your Step” is about my (Maja’s) struggles with mental health, how it's hard to escape the

nightmarish wonderland, and even harder to avoid falling down the hole in the first place. There's also the reminder that

there is someone rooting for me, waiting for me to come back to reality, and loving me even when I'm "gone.

GOODBYE

WICKED GAME

VILLAINS

Athens based songwriter singer multiinstrumentalist.

I love the songwriting

part but I don't consider myself a

performer. I live with music I enjoy the

journey and my dream would be for my

songs to get known. loved and in due

time covered by other more talented and

skillful artists.

The Last Goodbye talks about coming back

from the dead to meet your lover for one last

night and to keep a promise. It is inspired by

Greek and Anglosaxon folk lore, while the

resurrection motif lead to the album cover.

The music follows the pattern of Zonaradikos

dance from Thrace in Greece, with a pontian

lyra, an oud and reed wind instruments

mimicking bagpipes (gaida). My friend and

singer Tom Boon sang over in a Celtic

inspired way and improvised lyrics that lead

to the story. Medieval talks about the rarest

thing to find, which is a man (or woman)

happy with what they currently possess and

own and able to enjoy a simple life to the full. I

used a flamenco guitar for the 5/8 pattern, a

low pitchedI Irish whistle along with a

Hungarian zither and a kalimba. Fire of your

soul has been released in the past in a slightly

different context. In this case, having the fire

to fight your inner demons and build your life

using the 4 elements ties in with the Christian

inspired motif of the album cover, while the

folk hard rock sound ties in with the sound of

the release, adding a heavier edge.. Pontian

lyra (kemence) played by Nikolas Petridis is

central to the song.

Villains is an LA Based Songwriting Duo heavily influenced by 90s Trip-Hop and UK

Alternative/Electronica. Known for their driving bass-heavy beats, ethereal vocals, dreamy

synth lines, catchy hooks, and soulful lyrics Villains bridges the gap between melancholy,

empowering, and heart-wrenching emotional landscapes while pulling from genres like rock,

jazz, EDM, and hip-hop.

“Villains really know

how to make music

and this is a great

example! A

magnificent cover!”

Eschaton is the first album by Theandria where

elements of heavy metal, electronic music, techno,

message of hope that even after trials and tribulations,

through cataclysm, break down and collapse, there is a

the topics of Eschaton, revisiting historical figures like

Rudolf Steiner, Rene Guenon or early religious

philosophy and metaphysics about the cycles of

change and ultimately, resurrection and renewal of

human cultures.

Katrina Maree is a Canberra-based

musician and singer-songwriter who plays

and writes music for enjoyment, meditation

and healing. Writing deeply emotional songs

on life’s ups and downs, Katrina Maree’s

lyrics draw the listener in to laugh, cry and

move through melodies that are not tied to a

single genre.

Katrina Maree was from a background that

couldn’t afford music lessons. She was

fortunate to have passionate music teachers

at school that taught her singing in choir and

basic piano in primary school and the bass

guitar in high school, which is Katrina

Maree’s primary instrument. After leaving

high school, life had other plans and Katrina

Maree had a music hiatus for about 15 years.

She is now back on the music scene, making

up for that lost time. This is the period when

Katrina Maree has developed her song

writing, both for her independent music and

the songs she writes and performs with the

band, The Black Souls.

Katrina Maree writes lyrics that tell

emotional stories that inspire hope,

positivity, and drive against even seemingly

insurmountable odds. Her influences are

wide and range from classical music, blues,

rock, progressive rock, and heavy metal.

Katrina Maree’s songs are not locked into a

particular genre. Her debut EP, Unrealised

Dreams, showcased three songs which could

be described as a mix of folk, roots and

blues with a touch of jazz. However, she also

composes in a wide range of genres,

including rock and progressive rock songs

which are evident in her new EP, Travelling In

My Mind.

TRAVELLING IN MY MIND, IS A

CONTRAST TO KATRINA MAREE'S

FIRST EP, WITH POP, ROCK, BALLADS

AND EVEN SOME CHEEKY GYPSY

CABARET TO WEAVE A STORY OF

WHAT IT MIGHT BE LIKE TO ENTER

SINGLES FROM THIS EP HAVE BEEN

bit of everything to find happiness (or, in this case, success). That means that for most artists, PR

alone is not enough. Neither is marketing. Neither is management. Especially for the

As a winner with the best blues song in March 2016

Blues Martin has really found what he’s really good

at and now he’s going back to the roots of the blues

as he playing as a solo artist.

With the heart in what he plays and sings, he gives

the people a special connection to his heart and it’s

with the heart he plays his music.

Blues Martin has always played or listen to music,

started to taking piano lessons and not really

wanting to play the piano, he was always looking

at the guitar.

So at the age of 16 his mom let him go get his first

guitar and it was love at first sight, though he had

no idea how to play the guitar, but he took it to bed

and went to the library to find books on how to

play the guitar.

He has always listened to all kinds of music and

play most of it, but he never forgets the first time he

heard BB King and Albert Collins play and when

Gary Moore released “Still Got The Blues” he was

sold to the blues.

He has always been writing songs, but never really

thought that they were any good, though while

playing in a rock band, he wrote “Back To The

Valley” and playing that and singing it at a gig,

where people would start dancing to the song and

after it was done, they would sit down again, that

he thought he might have something good here, still

he never saw himself as a singer, but he would end

up being a singer in a band he started and worked

hard on to keep going.

It would take a while before Blues Martin would

play blues, it wasn’t until a friend said to him that

he should play the blues and he thought he might as

well try it.

Looking on the internet he found a blues band, that

was looking for a guitarist and he jumped at the

chance to play with them.

Here he found himself going back to singing and

playing guitar, cuz the blues band didn’t have a

singer at that time and with some mojo and good

luck charm, he ended up playing in the blues band,

that ended up named “Naked Hippies”, though they

never played naked, they played a couple of gigs

and he was kicked out of the band, cuz he wasn’t

playing enough blues.

He then started to think about being a solo artist

and came up with the name Blues Martin, it would

take about 2 years before he would release his first

single “Back To The Valley” and following that

“Talk With Birthe”.

He found his muse that would being the guardian

light for him and still is, to whom he wrote “Songs

For Kelly”, “Behind My Blue Eyes” and “In Your

Room”.

They were recorded in his trailer and it’s not the

best work of the mixing, but it gave him a chance

and he took it, with winning Akademia Awards and

going to LA for a gala event.

Now he’s going back to the roots of the blues and

playing solo and he loves the plain idea of being

one with his guitar and his voice and giving it back

to the people, who come to see him at his live

shows.
