Watch The Music Video For Jon Bellion’s New Single, “Carry Your Throne”
September 11th, 2014 Kriston McConnell I’m not one to gush much. Sure, there are bands and artists that I adore and may enjoy talking about but there aren’t too many.

Watch Liars Melt Some Faces in “Pro Anti Anti” Music Video
June 24th, 2014 Nina Corcoran Los Angeles three piece Liars dropped their new record Mess a few months ago. Their art rock electronic sound gets experimental without pushing people away–a tricky thing to do–which immediately grabbed our attention.

Watch Lee Corey Oswald’s Music Video For “Progress”
June 13th, 2014 Kriston McConnell There are a lot of different directions bands can take not only with their music, but the videos they put together to represent their art.
