"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

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...

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...

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 ...
