Another rocky week for the Trump administration. He just can't seem to get Russia out of his hair. Like presidents before him, he has fled Washington in search of more fertile ground.

Hard rockers from Hollywood, Aerial School, is releasing their debut seven-song EP titled “Love Is Calling.” The sound is big, bold and oozes raw sensuality! “Love is Calling” just might make you want to mouth kiss someone! This is one of those rock 'n' roll records that makes you want to test the limits of your speakers as it just gets better the louder it's played!

 

Written and produced by guitar slinger Thorn St Germain, seven songs of exquisite, unbounded and divine rock thunder! Vocalist Dusty Bo is the perfect match for St Germain's howling, ripping guitar and legendary harmonica man Jimmy Z shines on “Red Hot Flame” with possibly the most astonishing blues harp solo on a rock song ever, changing keys three times!

A late night talk show told his audience that they have much to celebrate. 100 days and we are still alive! But how has Trump really done? What has he achieved?

Soul rocker Kwame Binea was born in West London with native origins in Ghana. He has peppered his music with a unique brand of “Roots Rock” which embodies his fertile and culturally diverse personal saga.

 

“Universal Love” by Jimmy Cliff, a featured track on his new debut album “Roots Rock n Universal Love,” was produced by Vernon Reid of the group Living Colour who also co-wrote the tune “Love Surreal.” Of the process, Vernon says, “Kwame connected to 'Universal Love' immediately. He brings a fresh perspective and a renewed sense of hope to this seldom heard classic.”

Experimental music ensemble Zero Times Everything will be releasing their eagerly anticipated new album “Sonic Cinema” on April 21, 2017! Avant-garde post-industrial pre-cambrian pan-ethnic serial noise proto-punk neocortex music. It lives at the intersection of “My Life in the Bush of Ghosts” and Autechre, mixing glitchcore, ambient, and progressive rock.

Says band member Richard Sylvarnes, “In film making it is critical to create a sense of space; a world wholly imaginary that we can enter completely and without reservation. That is the first critical step in the creative process of Zero Times Everything. We strive to create worlds with sounds for a film that is either real or imagined. Hence the title: ‘Sonic Cinema’. Although largely an instrumental recording there are passages of spoken texts; either through a disembodied heroine’s chant from a 1930’s gangster film, robot voices reciting Marxist texts, a child’s recitation of ‘Twenty-first Century Schizoid Man’, to a chorus of angry protesters whose calls against war resemble a liturgical chant. The totality of these texts describe a malignant world within the throes of a breathless apocalypse. And, yet, the record ends on a celestial note – a treated, improvised guitar loop – that inspires hope and resilience within the storm.”

Trump is nearing the 100 day mark, what is his mark?

The subject of FBI investigations and the leaders of the most controversial political organization in America, the Clintons have long been the subject of talk radio. Fred Lucas opens up those conversations that tore open the secrets currently being examined by the FBI. For those interested in the dynamics of Washington politics, the undercurrents of the Establishment and the lust for power that moves those who practice politics in Washington today, Fred Lucas brings those readers into the mix.

“Fred Lucas not only delineates the roots of talk radio as a venue for communicating conservative political thought in the 1930s and 40s, he explains how it has become, in the 21st century, the life force for the conservative movement and the voice for conservative ideals on the current political landscape. Anyone who loves talk radio will love this book”

Another stellar week in politics. Trump uses $60 million worth of Tomahawk Missiles against a Syrian air base, and guess what, the base was up and running again in 24 hours!

San Francisco - Recorded on both sides of the equator, Americana/Rock artist, John Haesemeyer's new EP, Maybe If I Try, will be released on April 29, 2017. John Haesemeyer (HAZE-mire) is a San Francisco based performing artist who fuses folk and pop genres, emphasizing intimate vocals, acoustic guitar, orchestral instruments, and the rhythm section of a rock band.

 

Argentinian producer, Nahuel Bronzini arranged the record, instilling a range of American rock, country, and folk influences, coupled with the classical traditions honed in his formal training. Bronzini is a popular producer and string arranger in the Bay Area, and produced John's last two records.

Trump has pissed off entire countries, now he is pissing off the members of his own party.
