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.
“The dynamic aspect of the
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
death metal band that
fuses the brutality of
the genre with a
fascination for the
vastness of the
cosmos. Inspired by
bands like The Black
Dahlia Murder, Death,
Dark Tranquillity, and
Beyond Creation. Eon
creates a unique
sound that explores
themes from
astronomy and
geology to
paleontology and
existentialism.
Their music envelops
the listener in an
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
aggressive rhythms,
and gut-wrenching
growls, but also
invites an
introspective journey
through their
meaningful lyrics.
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

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

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

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

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.

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

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….

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

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.

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,

Eschaton is the first album by Theandria where
elements of heavy metal, electronic music, techno,
trance and atmospheric ambient comes together to
explore the landscape of the Eschaton. Eschaton is the
divine plan at the end of the world- in other words, the
message of hope that even after trials and tribulations,
through cataclysm, break down and collapse, there is a
new world emerging. It is inviting the listener to explore
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

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
independent musician, you really need a customized blend of the three to be truly successful.

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.
