Adyn Townes returns for a second kick at the can for his latest single, “Kids”, with a new video. Or, more accurately, he has returned with an old video. Townes has dipped a little further into the already nostalgia-laden track with a deep-dive into his family video collection, and has emerged with his own origin story.

Music Video: Harvey Alexander Gets Surreal With ‘Green Pillow’
It seems a contradiction of terms to describe bedroom-pop as being elegant, but Harley Alexander revels in the simplicity of it. His 2017 album, Spill Kid, deftly combined the razor edge of a movement with an intimate lo-fi connection, crooning away in solidarity. His upcoming EP, Feeling Things, promises to be his most stripped-down album yet, making space for honest narrative through austerity.
“Green Pillow,” Harley Alexander’s second single off of Feeling Things, addresses one of the top five topics of 2020 (fingers crossed) with a surreal approach to expressing an appreciation for nature. Continue reading Music Video: Harvey Alexander Gets Surreal With ‘Green Pillow’
Music Video: Brandon Voyeur Faces a Crisis of Identity on ‘Not Dead Yet’
Brandon Voyeur is a performance artist. Rather than simply releasing music out in the world and calling it a day, he has manifested a whole larger-than-life persona, a la Thin White Duke.

Music Video: The Dead Minutes Feel Right at Home With ‘Sadness’
“The deepest hole could swallow me until I’m gone and spit me out.” The line is just about the most 2020 thing you’d expect to hear from a band thriving on a 2002 sound.
2017 Maritime Metal and Hard Rock Festival’s battle of the bands winner, The Dead Minutes of South Shore, Nova Scotia, describe themselves as a “hard-hitting punch of hard rock music with the ominous textures of post-hardcore and alternative” reminiscent of Thrice, Fugazi or Russian Circles.
The band explains that they define their success by personal happiness, thriving on the love of music, the emotions it sparks and the memories that are created and restored. Given the state of things, however, it’s still understandable that their latest release is named “Sadness.” Continue reading Music Video: The Dead Minutes Feel Right at Home With ‘Sadness’
