At First Vance IRELAND | FOLK The first time I had ever heard the name “Foy Vance,” I turned to my friend at a Josh Groban concert and said, “That’s a funny way to say Vance Joy. Someone is getting fired.” And then this group of dapper men got on stage and the man who stepped up to the microphone was certainly not Vance Joy. “Closing my eyes for just a moment, I could imagine myself in Northern Ireland, sitting in a cozy pub on a rainy night with a pint of something delicious listening to soul-soothing music” “Who is … Continue reading Foy Vance

From The Underground Up GERMANY | RAP/HIP-HOP “In a rap battle, women are traditionally degraded by men. They are remembered when men feel that women behave like them.” – Juju Attitude – CHECK.

abigailpixler5452

Chinese Government Issues Notice to Streaming Services According to digitalmusicnews.com, the Chinese government recently stepped in and wrote a “warning” to Chinese-based music streaming services, warning them against the usage of “exclusive content” and copyright, severely limiting the streaming market and stagnating certain companies. You see, what certain companies like Tencent and NetEase were doing was signing contracts with certain artists or their labels and then refusing to share the “copyrighted/exclusive” content with any other streaming services, thus limiting listeners severely. Listeners would need to subscribe to multiple different service providers and well, that is bound to stagnate any sort … Continue reading THIS JUST IN – Music News on Chinese Streaming, Bjork’s New single and More!

Not Too Long Ago… In a Galaxy Not Too Far Away MEXICO | SPACE ROCK OK, so the only reason I know Reyno is because I fell down a musical rabbit-hole on Apple Music several months ago when searching for Latin Rock and wow – I REGRET NOTHING.

I was practically shouting my love for their epic … Continue reading Reyno

From the 1940’s greats The Andrews Sisters to the 1970’s legends The Jackson 5, the family unit has always found it’s way within music in some way, shape or form.
