News: Alpha Circle releases "1995"

-

Alpha Circle
In the summer of 2017 four musicians, two Spaniards and two Englishmen, united through the international language of music and formed a band, Alpha Circle. They had three objectives: one to make music that consisted of a thumping blend of slick rhythms and epic hooks. Two, to bring a pop rock live action energy to their groove and three, to write lyrics that told stories of hope and overcoming life’s challenges. About the name of the band, they say: "It came about from a few things: firstly because we thought it was cool and secondly because we were attracted to the concept of an inclusive circle of ideas, styles, collaborators, and creative freedom in general".
Their debut single "Circles" is the personification of this message. An Indie pop, motivational style about maturity and finding your place in this world that reached incredible numbers on Spotify right from the start. After that, the band continued to release heartfelt and catchy singles: "Sweet Talking Time" in 2019, "Groovin" in 2020, "Cold Again" and "Phoenix and Butterflies" in 2021. "Phoenix and Butterflies" recently won the Toby Awards 2022, an Award for songwriting promoted by the UK radio station Shout Radio. The song gained 68% of the votes among other 29 nominee, a very rewarding result for this beautiful tune about the evolution of love in a relationship.

Alpha Circle is based in Madrid and is composed by Lee Chamberlain (frontman and voice), Simon Richman (drums and voice) and Alberto Garcia (guitar) - they've been also accompanied by Lewis Ceballos (bass), Iker Arranz (bass in recordings) and Dj Moderno (bass in live shows). I met them thanks to The Songwriter Showcase and I suddenly found their music very positive and interesting, ending up being a big fan myself. They are the friendliest musicians I’ve ever met, and also an explosion of energy and positive vibes. Their music is able to cheer me up and push me to move and dance, and their lyrics really come from the heart. You can find the interview with them I already did back in July 2021 on my Instagram page.

The Spanish band just released their last single "1995", an indie pop/disco music which I'm sure will conquer the masses definitely and will make Alpha Circle one of the main exponents of Spanish Indie Music. The band already changed pace, from a career point of view, with "Phoenix and Butterflies" but I'm sure 2022 will be their year as "1995" is just the first of a bunch of new releases they're cooking up.

Alpha Circle says: "1995 is a fun and uplifting song to put you in the mood to move about and get ready to roll. Although it’s not limited to any form of interpretation, this song was composed when the band was quarantined, so some of it alludes to  how we can just close our eyes and take ourselves to where we want to be. That’s the power of the mind. We can create positive thoughts and feelings. The more we do it, the more positive vibes we generate and transmit. These thoughts could be of a past memory or in this case, year, however, the imagination has no limits, so whether we think about something or someone or nothing at all, we can enjoy music and make it our own".

"1995"
It’s all they talk about, that’s what they scream and shout, it doesn’t change a thing.
Just take a look outside, we-no longer need to hide, just wanna live my life.

When I rest my head at the end of the day, there’s only one thing that I think.

I want you right here, right now, by my side, like it’s 1995.
I wanna fly right of the atmosphere, what a time to be alive.

I wake up everyday and always read the same. It’s just a game to me.
Don’t do this don’t do that, can’t we just make a pact, come on now let’s move on.

When I close my eyes at the end of the day, there’s only one thing that I think.
I feel the vibes arrive at the top of my voice, now everybody sing.

I want you right here, right now, by my side, like it’s 1995.
I wanna fly right out of the atmosphere, what a time to be alive.

And you’ll see, with a bit of positivity
And you’ll see, we’re all on the same frequency...

I want you right here, right now, by my side, like it’s 1995.
I wanna fly right out of the atmosphere, what a time to be alive.

And you’ll see, with a bit of positivity
And you’ll see, we’re all on the same frequency...

Older country, folk and rock'n'roll vibes in the upcoming album by Drew Kiddoo and the Blackouts

-
Image
Drew Kiddoo and the Blackouts Drew Kiddoo And The Blackouts is a honky tonk country band based out of Ithaca , NY. Their unique blend of traditional country western, folk, and early rock and roll has captivated audiences across the region since they formed in 2018. Drew's songwriting is the heart and soul of the band. He writes from personal experience, and his lyrics are infused with love, whiskey, the open road, and that old "crying over an empty glass of booze" style of melancholy. The Blackouts are a misfit collage of local musicians who bring Drew's songs to life with that boot stompin', barn-burnin' energy. The album "Giddyup and Go" will be released on June 14th, in accordance with the release party set for the same date at The Range in Ithaca, next to Cornell University. I had the opportunity to listen to the full lenght album in advance, and I can't wait to share my personal take on it! "Giddyup and Go" is a collection of song...

Midwerstern Gothic storybooks meet 80s rock opera in Brian Bacon's new album "Murder of Crows"

Brian Bacon A creator to his core, Brian Bacon ’s dressed up style of folk rock finds an almost miraculous balance between nostalgia and bold originality. At age 50, Brian left Cleveland, Ohio where he had lived for over 20 years raising daughters and moved into a tiny home in Nashville found on Airbnb to record an album with a producer he met on Instagram, the result was his second album, "Murder of Crows" .  Produced by Nick Bullock and performed by a band of professional studio musicians in Nashville, "Murder of Crows" is a ten-song road trip into a woodsy Midwestern Gothic storybook full of poetic character stories like something you would expect from a rock opera or modern musical. Listening to the whole album you'll have the feeling of being seated in the front row of a Broadway Musical, captured by the storytelling and the engaging rhythm. Its intricate arrangements of vocals, synths, guitars, strings and horns reminds me a lot of 80s pop/rock music that ...

While serving in the Marine Corps, Vintz fine-tuned his craft and discovered his voice and passion for telling stories and sharing emotions through song. He released his debut EP "Through the smoke; a liar" when he was still in the middle of his military contract and didn't know anything about music industry. The EP features his top streaming song "Love in Boston". Then he relocated to the east coast where he opened up for folk rock band Oliver Hazard. He can be described as "beautifully melancholic" and focuses on direct relatable stories.
