Vidello ProductionsPublished 5 years ago in BeatMirrors for Psychic Warfare - 'I See What I Became' Review
Mirrors for Psychic Warfare is a two-piece Industrial/Folk project featuring Scott Kelly of Neurosis and producer Sanford Parker. The pair formed in 2016 and are most likely based out of the pacific north-west of the USA but there is no town of origin listed I could find. This album is the second release from this band and a follow up to their self-titled full length. This project is an interesting blend of the two listed genres and even a few others leading to a very cerebral calming sound. That also has moments harshness and a few truly tense and unnerving moments throughout. Going into this and seeing the tag of Folk I was under the assumption that this would lie somewhere in the space of Neurosis or Scott Kell’s solo work, I had never been so wrong! While it contains his signature voice there is little to no guitar work involved. In their place, the senses are flooded with a grey soundscape of industrial and ambient beats and samples that at times border on ideas of drone metal or even some trance!
Rip MitchellPublished 5 years ago in BeatThrowback Album Review: Heavens - ‘Patent Pending’
The mid 2000s were arguably the peak when it came to modern alternative music entering the mainstream. Sure it has since flirted with alternative bands such as Paramore and Twenty One Pilots, but nothing quite comes close to the hostile takeover bands like My Chemical Romance, Fall Out Boy, and the original Panic! At the Disco lineup conducted.

Mikyah HendersonPublished 5 years ago in Beat Music to Listen to in 20BiTeen
As I’m writing this, 2018 ended a few days ago. If you’re a gay little bean, I can definitely understand the pain you must feel knowing that we had to leave behind Twenty-Gay-Teen, but hold to your horses, or should I say unicorns, because 2019 is 2019 but it’s also Twenty-Bi-Teen, and it’s only starting! As a bi girl myself, I enjoyed 20GayTeen a whole lot, I discovered a few queer artists that I couldn’t imagine my life without, and I thought I’d share these discoveries with you all. Though I have two really great boys to mention, I am aware of the lack of male representation. I actually don’t listen to a lot of male artists so including some boys just for the sake of it didn’t feel genuine to me because I truly didn’t have many suggestions. I didn’t feel like doing a bunch of research just for the sake of this article. I wanted it to be as intimate and sincere as possible, if it makes sense.

Release RewindPublished 5 years ago in BeatReleasing My First Track: The Journey
There are a lot of firsts for everything. The first time you learnt how to play a chord and then moved on to play "Happy Birthday"—that was a big achievement for a kid who had always wanted to play guitar. Then there was the first time I got nervous on stage. I forgot the lyrics for a song and had to play a few extra riffs to gather myself and calm down.

'A Single Man'
A Single Man, released in October of 1978, was Elton John's return to the limelight after a nearly two-year hiatus from recording and touring. It is the first Elton John album not to feature Bernie Taupin as lyricist. The lyrics on this album are instead by Gary Osborne, a former lyricist for Elton associate Kiki Dee. It is the only album where the melodies were mostly written before the lyrics. It was also the first Elton album since Empty Sky to not be produced by Gus Dudgeon. Instead, Elton produced it with engineer Clive Franks at The Mill in Berks England. It was also only the second Elton LP to be released on Rocket Records—Elton's personal record label that he was contractually unable to record for, prior to Blue Moves. It is also the first Elton album since Madman Across the Water to feature session musicians rather than Elton's touring band, which had disbanded after the 1977 tour; although Ray Cooper stayed on board and a few of the musicians who played on the album would become a part of the band for Elton's 1980 tour.
Sean CallaghanPublished 5 years ago in BeatWhy the Boompods Aquablaster Is the Only Bluetooth Speaker You Need
For years, speakers and large quantities of water were, in a sense, considered mutually exclusive. By that I mean you couldn't take your stereo system in the water (obviously), and even bringing it near water presented itself as a pretty hefty risk. I know this from firsthand experience, as my $500 boombox was destroyed by the ocean during high tide. Yes, I was drunk, and yes, I should've been more responsible, but I wanted to listen to some music while I was enjoying the ocean. Sue me.

Hello, my name is October Evans. I'm a musician/singer-songwriter, among other things that I do or have done in my life professionally and personally. I'm a transgender/genderqueer woman, a multi-industry entrepreneur, writer, blogger, poet, vlogger, activist, filmmaker, model/actress, etc. I'm also considered to be ahead of the curve, as a Mad Genius revolutionary among my peers, who said this to me and other people they've crossed paths with several time or more in my life for 30 years here on Earth. But most importantly, I've been in the music scene for a little close to 20 years, having started my first of several bands at only 13-years-old. I'm 30-years-old now and have been everywhere in the world and in my life, sharing the stories and what I've been through over the years.
