JD Shultz aka Human Brother Gets “Back to Music”

blackpandaPRj.d.

Native Angeleno, devout DIY-ist, multi-instrumentalist, producer, songwriter, painter, artist, philanthropist  and renaissance family man are all accurate descriptives for JD Shultz “aka” Human Brother. He’s releasing a new collection of songs in February called Back to Music.
It’s twelve tracks reflecting an eclectic mix of world and roots influences with positive, life affirming messages – making for a warm, ambient rock record. Shultz wrote, arranged and played all of the instruments on the record. He also produced and recorded Back to Music.
Back to Music reflects Shultz signature aesthetic on plexiglas too… bold, colorful, full of energy and modern. Companies like MGM’s The Bellagio in Las Vegas and Guitar Center commission his work. He built his reputation in and around Los Angeles by simply painting on anything that he could and then eventually launching his own gallery.

Jupiter Arista’s Single “Call Me”

blackpandaPRJupiter1

Jupiter Arista wants everyone to check out “Call Me”.  If you are a fan of the disco era you will enjoy this single.  Everything about this single screams disco and to me harkens back to something that Donna Summer would have done in the day.  Sadly we are unavailable to let you listen to the single at this time, but look for it through this link to Surviving the Golden Age website: http://survivingthegoldenage.com/jupiter-artista-call-me/

Alexander Wildwood’s “Bad Blood”

blackpandaPRalexander

 

Love it! The hard beat and driving feel of ‘Bad Blood’ is amazing. Normally I would complain about the warped voice but it fits Alex’s voice and the fast tempo of the song makes it feel right. The organic, intense feeling I got from Alex’s music is truly exciting and makes me want to listen to his other songs. I can even picture him doing a slower song and it still working. It’s very rare for me to have few critics and even rarer for me to have virtually none. This is one of those rarer cases. Everything about ‘Bad Blood’ was working for me and I’m really excited to follow Alex and see what else he comes up with.

Gladshot’s EP “Maxwell’s Cool Demon”

gladshot

Gladshot is a group that gets it’s style from the late 1960’s. Their music is like a funkedelic type music (mix between funk and psychedelic music). The beats are “trippy” and the lyrics are “wavy”, but understandable, which is difficult for this type of music. A lot of times the lyrics get lost in the mumbling. Gladshot doesn’t do that, one can enjoy the rhythm and the lyrics both. This will be an acquired taste for individuals, but for the style of music they play Gladshot is one to check out. – Richard

We don’t have a sample of Gladshot’s music from their EP Maxwell’s Cool Demon, but if you follow the link it will take you to their website to give them a listen: http://www.gladshot.com/

We will also be featuring them in a podcast review for next month.

Raw Fabrics Gives us “Down the Drain”

blackpandaPRraw fabrics

Raw Fabrics are an L.A.-based trio of 21-year-olds with an armload of anthemic songs that mix the driving bass lines of modern dance-punk bands with production sheen of modern radio bands.

Raw Fabrics music is unique in the best way possible. Their use of guitar and a kit mixed with a couple of other mixes sounds awesome and they should definitely stick to it. The lyrics are just as good and works really well with the instrumentals. From the catchy rhythm to unforgettable lyrics–Raw Fabrics has it all! I will keep a very keen eye out for this group and I think anyone who is a fan of music in general should too.

-April B.

Thanks to Black Panda PR for alerting us of Raw Fabrics.  You can listen to their music on their SoundCloud account here: https://soundcloud.com/rawfabrics

Solwave’s End of the Beginning

Solwave
The End of the Beginning
Self-Released
1 April 2014

This is Just The Beginning of
The End of the Beginning
for San Francisco’s Solwave

I love the soul feeling I get from the first notes, it instantly puts me in the right mood. I love the lyrics and voice quality of Joe Collins’ voice. It reminds me a bit of the 50s when he spreads his vowels out more and goes into his higher register. The instrumentals aren’t lacking either. The percussion is to die for and the bass has a great feel to it. Every part is solid and works together like a well oiled soul train. I’m definitely going to be listening to this group more often.

-April B.

Hopefully we will get updates on these three singles from The MuseBox when they are available.  I will also try to keep an eye out for them myself.  Until then here is Metropolis America’s website were you can listen to their current singles.  I like the sound, nice clean rock sound and the instruments don’t over power their voices, which as you know for me is a pet peeve.  Check them out, if you didn’t already know about them, you might find that this group is right for you and want to download their music, which by the way is available on their site at no charge.  Very nice guys, well played.
