We had the pleasure of interviewing RedHook over Zoom video! RedHook are a fiercely independent, shapeshifting alt-rock foursome from Sydney, Australia who've quickly accumulated a global fanbase and tens of millions of streams through their powerful songwriting and captivating live show. Featuring the core creative duo of Emmy Mack and Craig Wilkinson, two strangers from regional New South Wales whose paths collided after moving to Sydney in 2017, RedHook combine with young gun drummer Alex Powys and seasoned bassist Ned Jankovic to create heartfelt, attitude-filled and relatable alternative rock music that consistently defies classification. The strength of their debut single 'Minute On Fire' in 2018 was enough to attract the interest of one of the lead promoters of the UK's iconic Download Festival, who swiftly invited RedHook over to play. The band were then snapped up by The Hen House Artist Management (worldwide) and inked booking deals with New World Artists (AUS) and Wasserman (UK/EU), going on to conquer some of Australia's biggest music festival stages (Download, Good Things, Stonefest, BIGSOUND). They also completed their debut international tour (supporting metal titans Three Days Grace across the UK & Europe), launched their own gender diversity-inspired alternative festival in Sydney, 'UsFest', and undertook four complete Australian tours (selling out the Melbourne and Sydney legs of their own debut headline tour). As RedHook's global fan base grew steadily with each single release and live show, many big things followed. The band were named triple j Unearthed feature artist, Kerrang! Radio feature artist and were invited to host the ABC's iconic rage program. They've consistently featured as one of the top 50 most-played artists on triple j Unearthed every year since 2019. 2021 saw RedHook release their long-awaited debut EP 'Bad Decisions' which has ticked over 13 million Spotify streams and had its two lead singles added to rotation on triple j. The record earned praise from Kerrang! (UK), Rock Sound (UK), Rolling Stone (AUS) and many more, even scooping a 2022 AIR Independent Music Awards nomination for best punk EP or album. RedHook continued their steady rise across 2022 with their debut performances at Australia's UNIFY Gathering, Groovin' The Moo and boutique festival Rolling Sets, as well as playing one of the world's most iconic rock festivals Rock AM Ring/Rock im Park in Germany alongside the likes of Green Day and Muse, accompanied by a second tour of Europe supporting The Faim. Their own headline 'Bring Ya Mates' tour was also a huge success with multiple sold out shows around Australia as it emerged from the COVID-19 pandemic. This was followed by a mammoth 28-date, two-month-long regional Australian tour as main support for metalcore titans In Hearts Wake and a triumphant return the Good Things festival stage alongside Bring Me The Horizon and Deftones, where RedHook made history as the first band to grace the lineup twice. In May 2022, RedHook returned with 'Jabberwocky' their most gut-wrenching single to date, which was immediately added to triple j high rotation and added to the cover of Spotify's popular 'All New Rock' Playlist. Follow-up singles 'SAY' and 'Soju' Ft. Sly Withers have both since been added to full rotation on triple j.RedHook recently released their long-anticipated debut album, Postcard From A Living Hell!

We had the pleasure of interviewing Pigeons Playing Ping Pong (Greg Returns!) over Zoom video! Pigeons Playing Ping Pong is just one of the many acts gearing up to celebrate Suwannee Hulaween's 10th anniversary, the festival is returning home to the Spirit of the Suwannee Music Park in Live Oak, Florida from Thursday, October 26 - Sunday, October 29, 2023. Hulaween is one of the last truly-independent, large-scale music festivals thriving amongst today's corporatized concert landscape, and after selling out its last five editions, the festival is commemorating a decade of success with its most impressive lineup yet. Following a five-year hiatus, electro-soul pioneer Pretty Lights will headline Hulaween as his only East Coast festival performance on his Soundship Spacesystem Tour. It's been nearly two decades since Pretty Lights started originating his signature, sample-heavy sounds that redefined America's electronic music scene, and his exclusive East Coast festival set at Hulaween promises to showcase vibrant, bass-fueled sounds to the festival's feverish audience. Known globally for his playful demeanor and rip-roaring sets, tech-house maestro John Summit marks another Hulaween headliner.

Other headlining bands include Hulaween staple Joe Russo's Almost Dead (2 sets), the Hulaween debut of Les Claypool's Fearless Flying Frog Brigade, and legendary roots-rock outfit Dispatch. Hulaween will also welcome neo-soul rapper Smino as the festival's sole hip-hop headliner, as well as a headlining set by five-piece indie rock band Mt. Joy. The festival will present a bevy of in-demand, electronic music support acts, including Montreal producer BLOND:ISH, underground bass purveyor Eprom, multi-faceted Italian DJ/producer duo Gioli & Assia, ascendent bass producer ISOxo, genre-bending producer Manic Focus, ascendent trailblazer Moore Kismet, bass-focused producer supergroup Lab Group, and future-funk maestro Yung Bae. Staying true to its band-focused roots, Hulaween will boast a medley of celebrated acts including funk-fusion ensemble Lettuce, funk-jam group Pigeons Playing Ping Pong, and critically-acclaimed, Anatolian rock/Turkish psychedelic folk outfit Altin Gün.

We had the pleasure of interviewing CREEPER over Zoom video! At the end of CREEPER's sold-out headline show at the Roundhouse, vocalist William Von Ghould stepped out to thank the audience when a mysterious figure lept from the shadows and decapitated him in front of 3300 people. The lights went down and the big screen cut to a haunted house, where the band's reluctant social media host, the vampire familiar Darcia, deadpanned, "It's time for a new era… and I couldn't be more excited." Every era in CREEPER's strange tale closes in similarly flamboyant fashion: see also their apparent Bowie-style on-stage break-up at the end of the campaign for their debut album 'Eternity, In Your Arms', which left some fans in floods of tears. But in CREEPER's ever eerie world, death is just a stepping stone towards a joyous rebirth. And now one of the most unlikely success stories in British music rises from the ashes once more with their new album 'SANGUIVORE'. Taking a darker turn from their Top 5 record 'Sex, Death & The Infinite Void', 'SANGUIVORE' is a thrillingly theatrical new story that the band's ever-growing army of devotees will devour themselves within. Riffing upon fearsome throwback vampire flicks such 'Near Dark', 'The Lost Boys' and 'Interview With The Vampire', its narrative focuses upon Mercy, a deceptively innocent yet savagely violent vampire, 19-years-old in conventional terms yet with a soul dating back some thousand years, and her relationship with Spook, an older man who falls under her control but doesn't quite lose sight of their previous humanity. The 'SANGUIVORE' concept and characters have lurked in the crevices of the band's mind for some time. When it was time to turn those ideas into a full album, two elements were key to unlocking its potential. CREEPER's co-founder and guitarist Ian Miles had suffered from severe mental health issues as work got underway on 'Sex, Death…' which naturally limited his input. But this time he was not only there from the very beginning, but a lack of a full-time second guitarist effectively doubled his workload. And he really stepped up, his creativity simmering throughout the record, from melodic classic rock solos to crunching metallic riffs, the latter of which forced Von Ghould to shape his vocal melodies in a very different style from before. CREEPER's ambitious narratives are rooted in a similarly authentic place. Or as Von Ghould summarises, "underneath all the showmanship and the bravado of it all, there's something quite true there." 'More Than Death', for example, is the denouement of Mercy and Spook's tale, but comes from the frontman's own relationship. Friendship is also a recurring motif on the album, the beating heart behind the band, and especially the connection between Von Ghould and Miles. "It's a very special relationship we've had. We've been touring since we were teenagers and now, we're almost old men and we're still doing it. If you told us when we first met that we were going to have any sort of success, I wouldn't have believed you." That's the unwritten philosophy of CREEPER. Embrace everything you want to do, no matter how outlandish, excessive or ambitious, and see where the journey takes you. And it's a journey some twenty years in the making as the grandiose scale and ripping rock opera of 'SANGUIVORE' transports Von Ghould back to his childhood bedroom, listening to 'Bat Out of Hell' on repeat.

We had the pleasure of interviewing Oscar Lang over Zoom video! Multi-instrumentalist, songwriter, and producer Oscar Lang has released his sophomore album Look Now via Dirty Hit. Deeply personal and sonically elevated, Look Now features some of Oscar's most confessional and inspired songwriting yet. Teeming with emotional intimacy, Look Now feels as if it was lifted directly from the pages of Oscar's personal journal. The 10-track collection features his newest single "Leave Me Alone," which is both melodically sweet and infinitely relatable in its sentiment that sometimes you just want to be by yourself. A stand-out track on the album, the song describes the universally felt urge to self-isolate after a long night out. Quintessentially Oscar in its pop-fusion sound and piano-driven accompaniment, the confessional track is another example of his expert lyrical storytelling and knack for peeling back the curtain for a peek into his mind. Earlier this year, Oscar provided a powerful introduction to his new musical chapter with his soaring, symphony-soaked lead single "A Song About Me" which recalls past love over a landscape of resounding instrumentals, received airplay on BBC Radio 1, and appeared on major editorial playlists across Spotify and Apple Music. He followed up this momentous opening with the release of subsequent singles "One Foot First," an introspective, melancholic release of emotion that dives into loss through an empathetic lens, and "Everything Unspoken" which draws strength from Oscar's own experiences with social anxiety and further establishes the album's emotive nature. Exploring darker themes, while still maintaining a relatively light and melodic essence, his most recent single "On God," haunting in tone and deeply personal, offers a glimpse into Oscar's own journey through grief and how he continues to persevere. With a sound influenced by the piano-driven ballads of icons like Elton John, Paul McCartney and Billy Joel, Look Now calls upon classic Beatles songwriting through the prism of Animal Collective and Mac DeMarco. After a break-up that left him heartbroken, Oscar channeled his emotions into his songwriting as a means of catharsis and therapeutic healing. Using the creative process as his lifeline, Oscar grapples with universal themes of personal loss and longing—drawing from his own experience with a broken heart and the lingering pain of losing his mother as a child. The result is a collection of songs that showcase his masterful honesty as a writer and soulful artistry as a musician. Maintaining a rapid momentum as he continues his takeover of the indie-pop scene, Oscar will be embarking on a headline tour of the UK this August and includes performances at major European festivals including Green Man Festival in Wales and Waves Festival in Vienna. Known for his signature sunshine lo-fi pop and unassuming, sharp songwriting, Oscar has had a momentous rise in recent years following the release of his debut album Chew The Scenery which features stand-out tracks such as "Yeah!," "21st Century Hobby," and "Stuck." The critically lauded release, which quickly added to his over 100 million streams, received major praise from outlets such as SPIN, FADER, The Line Of Best Fit, NME, CLASH, The Guardian, Ones To Watch, The Sunday Times, and more. The stunning debut easily built upon the success of his early viral hits "She Likes Another Boy" and "The Moon Song" and early production work, most notably working on indie pop icon beabadoobee's breakout hit "Coffee."

We had the pleasure of interviewing Patrick Droney over Zoom video! Patrick Droney grew up in the era of dedication lines and VHS tapes. He survives on sentimentality. It hits him every time he hears Delilah on the radio or passes by the Blockbuster sign near the bodega on his corner. The Brooklyn and Nashville based artist/producer/guitar sensation returns with his sophomore album, SUBTITLES FOR FEELINGS, which explores the idea that each frame of life holds a deeper context—a subtitle meant to be translated in time. Written and co-produced by Patrick Droney with collaborators including Foy Vance, Butch Walker, Jon Green, and Lori McKenna, the songs are a deepening of his timeless, cinematic pop sound. Rewind to May 2021, when Droney released his debut album, STATE OF THE HEART. With streams now in the hundreds of millions, the project was his own coming of age film, offering striking snapshots of the human condition in songs like "Glitter" and "The Wire." Since then, he has toured extensively, selling out shows across the U.S. and making his U.K. debut with the Eagles at London's Hyde Park. He performed at Super Bowl LVII, claims alumni status at Late Night With Seth Meyers, The Kelly Clarkson Show, and The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, and has shared stages with Sheryl Crow, The Vamps, and more. He also released genre-bending collaborations with Kygo ("Say You Will") and Billy F. Gibbons ("Rough Boy"). We want to hear from you!

We had the pleasure of interviewing Elliot Greer over Zoom video! Elliot has pulled us in again with another beautiful story. "I Bought A Honda" is about getting memorabilia of a love you once had. Elliot's posts teasing "I Bought A Honda" across IG have already garnered 1 millions since January 5th of this year. "I Bought A Honda", Elliot comments:" ,"Like many of my songs, "I Bought A Honda" is a fictional story derived from glimpses of personal experience. Fleeting feelings that led my spiraling mind into some other walk of life; in this case, a man romanticizing his past so much that he buys an entire car just to feel connected to it. It's silly when you say the name or try to summarize the concept, but the actual lyrics and melody will try their best to break your heart. You do have to listen carefully, but it's worth it for the punchline I think." Watch the music video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_V2t7F9hLdM About Elliot Greer: Whether scrawled in a handwritten diary, committed to the pages of a book, or posted online, an authentic story will resonate. From a stark and stripped-down perspective, Elliot Greer delivers unfiltered truth with grizzled, yet warm intonation accompanied by acoustic guitar. For as much as he harks back to an old school troubadour tradition, his appeal transcends eras. As such, he asserts himself as the rare singer-songwriter who can cut through the noise on social media with tens of millions of views or pack a residency gig on a weekly basis. Growing up in Scotland, he attended the American Musical and Dramatic Academy in New York city and later landed a part in Glen Hansard's Once in upstate New York —only for COVID to shut down the production before it got off the ground. Armed with a basic $100 microphone purchased by his girlfriend, he wrote, produced, recorded, mixed, and mastered his independent debut, Handcrafted, in the bathroom of his apartment. Simultaneously, he gigged nonstop, busking 357 days in Central Park, performing anywhere around town with a stage, and joining Ashley McBryde and John Osborne for a performance on The Tonight Show at Jimmy Fallon. In 2022, he launched a TikTok account and broke through with the single "Bleed." A video of Elliot with an acoustic guitar singing his soul out caught fire, reeling in 8 million views on Instagram and 5 million on TikTok. Now, the Scotland-born and New York-based artist forges a lasting connection on a series of 2023 singles for Arista Records and much more to come, including the captivating and cinematic "I Bought A Honda."
