What inspired the creation of this single? At 14 years old, skateboard under combat boots and bass guitar in case along for the ride. Clark is in front of me trying his best to get a good power slide going, his blond locks flowing like a flock of seagulls. Through Bannerman Park, on way to Bannerman Street, where the row houses of downtown St. John’s (Newfoundland) begin. This is where our good friend Johnny Fisher lives in a sweltering second story bedroom with a cassette b

What inspired the theme or concept behind this album? As the curse goes, may you live in interesting times. I don’t think anyone is untouched by the state of the crazy world we currently live in. As an artist this record is my therapy.

If your rock and roll spirit needs a breath of fresh fascination, let me introduce you to Hailey Ezzell: the new face of the old soul. Ezzell has been radiating her retroactive passion and determined musicianship across south Florida for several years, and is here to claim her rightful throne as Queen of the Airwaves— the title of her long-awaited debut album. In anticipation of the November 21st drop date, I sat down with Ezzell to unveil the story of her regal release, as w

What inspired the creation of this single? Hey! This is Kaleb Hikele from The Sun Harmonic, I'll take the reigns on the interview and speak on behalf of the band. So, this song was first written by me in a furniture delivery van, quite a few years ago, working a manual labour job and daydreaming about the glory days. I wrote it in my head while I was driving (which has happening numerous times with a bunch of my personal favourite songs) and I think I recorded a clip on m

The ocean breeze carried the sound of BEL’s ethereal vocals across the boardwalk as the California-born artist made her Oceans Calling debut. With shimmering melodies and emotionally charged lyrics, BEL (Isabel Whelan) brought a wave of sincerity to a lineup packed with powerhouse acts, instantly winning over new fans.

The first day of Oceans Calling always carries a special kind of electricity - the boardwalk humming with music, the scent of sea air mixing with festival food, and the pulse of fans eager for live performances. Izzy Escobar had opened the Sea Bright Stage with a performance that felt both intimate and explosive - her voice rising above the waves and chatter, commanding attention with its strength and soul.

When the unmistakable opening riff of “Teenage Dirtbag” rang out across the Ocean City boardwalk, time stopped. The rain was coming down in sheets, but no one cared - not the teenagers who were once on their parents’ shoulders, not the grown-ups reliving their youth, not the little kids shouting every word as if they’d lived it themselves. It was one of those rare festival moments where generations collide in song, proof that some anthems never fade - they just evolve.

What inspired the creation of this single? While waking up on a quiet winter’s morning, my mind drifted to the people I’ve encountered and the stories they’ve lived. I started thinking about all the unfortunate souls who have lost their lives to substance abuse, and how many more will lose their lives, loved ones, and everything they’ve built.

Interview with Wave Break's vocalist Kelly Barber. What inspired the creation of this single? Our bassist Tom had initially demo'ed out a riff and then Will took it and expanded on it, changed it up and demo'ed it into a full song. Then we wrote the other instruments and lyrics!

I had the opportunity to get some inside intel from Days of Disaster. They are a new, up and coming band from the Michigan/Ohio area. They have rocked at Piere’s Entertainment Center in Fort Wayne, Indiana multiple times. They have already had the amazing opportunity to open up the stage for many nationally touring artists, such as Scotty Austin from Saving Abel, Josey Scott, the original voice of Saliva, Ill Nino, Hed PE, Tantric, Trapt, Plush and many more.

For any music fan, there’s something undeniably powerful about artists who channel their life experiences into their work. One band that exemplifies this is Florida's own The Haunt. This dynamic duo, composed of siblings Maxamillion and Anastasia has taken the essence of their struggles and transformed it into a raw, emotive sound that resonates with listeners across the globe. Their latest album, born from hard times, showcases their personal growth and artistic evolution.

What inspired the creation of this single? “Freedom” was born out of a deep internal conflict — a feeling of being trapped in a world that demands so much conformity, while your soul is screaming for truth and liberation. I was reflecting on the systems we live in — political, social, economic — and how they often strip us of authenticity. But more than anything, it was inspired by the need to break free from those inner walls we build ourselves. It’s a cry for spiritual a

What first got you into music? My soul connected with music from a very young age. I sang, danced, and played; it was in my blood (maybe “bones” instead?) from day 1. Okay, maybe day 2.

What inspired the theme or concept behind this album? Rise is an album forged in angst and frustration with the world system as it stands, where the weak and needy are pushed aside and wealth is worshipped. Each song tackles an aspect of our dissatisfaction. It's time to change the world. It's time to rise. We chose rising smoke for the artwork for its ambiguity and connotation.
