"The awareness of how little of the world you will actually experience"

Being in only one place at one time can be difficult for those of us wishing to experience all the planet has to offer. Soulful indie-rockers Onism E attempt to bring it all together to share a worldly adventure with their fans. Frontwoman Eline Chavez takes her journey of being born in California, raised in Texas, and now calling New York City home, and puts it all into her emotion-fueled songwriting. Inspired by groundbreaking female rockers like Joan Jett, Bonnie Raitt, Chrissie Hynde, and Melissa Etheridge, Eline has taken this energy to new levels with the Onism E project.

To flesh out the sound, a new Texas-based trio includes guitarist Chris ‘Lefty’ Vargas, bass player Chris ‘CeeRod’ Rodriguez, and drummer Raj Arenas. Their additional energy and inspiration elevate Onism E to a new level and truly set the group apart from the masses. Engaging with Onism E is stepping into a world of compassion with arms wide open. The music breeds a connection to the listener and the warmth of the band members further ignites the relationship between fan and band. Everyone is welcome to come and take their own place in the emotionally riveting journey.

Onism E is a culmination of life experiences wrapped up in a soulful package that is carving a unique space within the indie rock world. Every live show is guaranteed to move you in more ways than one. So walk this journey with them and together we will all find the faith to keep pushing forward.   

The band describes themselves as "NYC indie rock with a hint of Texas soul" and I love it. They represent a quite unique style in the indie music world. Their music is a whole storytelling experience with an alternative rock sound: each song is a story apart that tells about life from different points of view, through the use of very powerful lyrics. The latest single released by Onism E "Lin Manuel" is no exception to this, and that is why I'm happy to share the full lyrics of it because it's worth reading!

Eline, the frontwoman of Onism E, shares about the single: "Written during the height of the pandemic, this song is about my personal journey as a musician, songwriter, and human being. It is all the ups and downs and moments of doubt. It is about how the world around me has shaped parts of who I have become and why I keep going".

"The music creates a connection to the listener. Everyone is welcomed into the Onism E tribe. No judgments. No questions. Just be you and be ready to experience all the feelings that music can provide you" - IBG

   

Lin Manuel

Sitting in the sunshine - Listening as birds fly

Praying for the rain to set me free - Whispers in the lightning

Glows in the horizon  - Oh but I still can’t see

Broken  glass and shattered ceilings - I’ve been waiting for my season

They tell me that you will one day see - But darkness comes and darkness goes

And i’m still all alone  - Here with my dreams

Suffocated and truncated  - In a world that’s often jaded 

By the world as seen on TV - I’m so short you never see me

Climbing up and barely breathing - Like tom petty 

I keep running down this dream  - Sitting on the beach sand

Grounding myself so I don’t just pretend - That I’m doing ok 

Whispers from the deep end - The moon shines and reflects

Every doubt we try to drown in it you see - I’m finding strength in embers 

Glowing sparks of regret and anger - I’m terrified of who you might see

I’m hopeful though it may not sound it - I’m just tired of all the sadness 

This crazy world has shaken me - Exorcised and compromised

By a world that too often decides  - If you will  love or hate me

Lin Manuel reminded me that freedom - Comes at a cost for those who believe in 

But I’m so scared of failing I rarely sleep - And we’re all just working for 

Better days, better days - But sometimes I want to scream

A cozy place where like-minded souls connect: welcome to The North Café!

The North Café Series: the storytelling episodes Among all the musical projects that I've watched growing up from scratch, The North Café Project is definitely my favourite. Passion, storytelling, art, instrumental music, love... this ambitious musical project has them all, and even more. Conceived of and created across continents in the aftermath of a global pandemic, it is the brainchild of instrumentalist, John Silvers (USA/UK), who has collaborated with co-founder and musician, Elfin Bow (UK), sound designer and producer, Woody Woodward (UK), visual artist, Gus Lopez (USA) and mastering engineer, Derek Smyth (AUS) to create a unique and intimate offering of story and music. At a time of division and isolation, this global effort to unite and uplift, is a double album release comprising both an episodic story in four parts, with instrumental musical excerpts, and an accompanying album of the full compositions by John Silvers (ukulele) and Elfin Bow (piano).  Creating someth

News: Vintz Desert releases his new EP "The Blue Journal"

Vintz Desert Vintz Desert is an indie folk singer-songwriter located in Maryland. 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. His soft-spoken and raspy voice transfers his pain and experiences from him to his audience, and enters into a symbiotic relationship with them.  He just released his latest EP "The Blue Journal" on May 20th, an introspective and soft jouney through his feelings. His music has been mind-blowing for me since the very first

Thompson Newkirk Thompson Newkirk is New York City's southern pop-rock artist. Thompson's music is guitar forward, upbeat, and lyric based. He tells stories about love lost, getting kicked out of Canada, run ins with the law, and not letting the harsh realities of life win over the soul. His main influences stem from groups like Jason Isbell, Tedeschi Trucks Band, Dire Straits, and Phish. Almost every one of Thompson's songs start in one place and through twists, rhythm changes and breaks, end somewhere down the road. His high energy and audience participation style makes for a show that you don't want to miss.  Thompson's songwriting journey started when he was in High School - he used to write about tumultuos emotions while now he writes about stories that I have experienced throughout his life. All of his songs are about something specific and tell a specific story, he doesn't really have any party songs or songs that are just for fun. He loves catchy riff

Going out the comfort zone with Mariano Mallia's new single "The Search For More"

Mariano Mallia Singer/songwriter Mariano Mallia is a familiar face for those who have followed my blog for awhile. I talked about his inspiring and challenging story when he released his debut single "Don't Change" , after a vocal injury that stopped him from making music for years (you can read here ).  Mariano Mallia, who spent childhood summers visiting family members in Italy, says that it was in Italy that his passion for music was first born.  From those times, Mallia developed a deep appreciation for music, and ultimately decided to devote his life to music. However, the young singer’s pursuit was put to a halt in December of 2018 when he suddenly lost his voice. We talked further about his journey and the challenges he had to face when I interviewed him on YouTube (see here ). Despite the difficulties, Mariano refused to give up on his dream of pursuing music. Since the beginning of 2023, he has consistently released one single each month, putting hard work, musi
