Their new album “Tales of a Grass Widow” will be released in late May, for now we have this new song, Gravediggress, so obsess over.

Kat Dahlia – Gangsta // Dope Female Rapper

Posted by wadeshoward on

I always love stumbling across female rap artist, especially ones as talented as Kat Dahlia. Her voice is so soulful and powerful and her flow is phenomenal, plus she is super fucking sexy!  Gangsta is about her father and family and hard times, at the same time calling out all the “gangstas.” The piano rift is addicting and the video is bad ass just like Kat. Her outfits are super awesome as well, this girl has style! Check it out below and absorb the sound. Also check out the acoustic version here.

Jim Guthrie – Trust // Indie Game Soundtrack

Posted by wadeshoward on

Jim Guthrie is from Canada and I had no idea he existed until I watched the movie Indie Game: the Movie and fell in love with the soundtrack which I would learn later on was done by him. Turns out he has a lot of albums that are all spectacular and available on his band camp, he also did the soundtrack for Swords & Sorcery, a fun indie game to play if you get the chance. The song that caught my ear enough for me to do the research was the song “Trust” which is off his A Thousand Songs album and plays during the credits of Indie Game: The Movie. If you have ever wanted to cheer up, all you would need to do is listen:

RDGLDGRN – EP // Alternative Hip-Hop

Posted by wadeshoward on

Trust me when I say that this trio is about to explode onto the alternative scene. This group released I Love Lamp a while back, still one of my favorite songs, and then went into hiding for a little, but now they are back, and this time with a four song EP. They have a very unique sound which mixes Hip-Hop and alternative, you know, playing real instruments and things. Their EP is available on iTunes and is so worth the $5. Dave Grohl of the Foo Fighters is featured for the drums on Doing the Most!! Grab it now and look out for more stuff from these guys. Also, if you are going to any Warped Tour, they are scheduled as of now to be at all the dates, so make sure to go and absorb their sound when you get a break from moshing!

Well its that time of the year again where I hate my friends for living in California and hate myself for living in Florida. Coachella is back and this year is insane!
