Windser’s back with the harmony-rich new single “TV” – a lilting love song wrapping you in a blanket of twinkling guitars, and brimming with the complex magic that comes from digging into one’s own experiences.

 

“TV was inspired by romance and the progression of spending an entire day with someone you’re obsessed with. The Sunday Netflix and chill. It is probably the most celebratory song I’ve ever written, in this case celebrating someone who you don’t mind staying in bed with all day watching 90s sitcoms.” – Windser 

 

It’s been an exciting year for Windser who recently released “Belong,” the theme song of the new limited series podcast, ‘Academy.’ It also saw the release of his wistful single “Get Lost,” the acoustic EP “Panoramic Sessions,” and a performance at Lollapalooza in August.

 

2022 was also a big year for the burgeoning artist — one that saw a collaboration with Macklemore on “Maniac,” which was the #2 most added track at Top 40 the week after its release and saw praise from Rolling Stone, UPROXX, Wonderland, MXDWN, and more, performances across the country on massive stages from Fenway Park to Bank of California Stadium, a taped performance on Jimmy Kimmel Live!, and the release of his debut EP “Where the Redwoods Meet the Sea.”

“’Look Alive’ is the perfect sonic representation of our unique blend of Rock and Hip-Hop. It hits hard, exudes energy, and lives authentically in both spaces. With swaggy, unapologetic vibes, it simultaneously uplifts while delivering a powerful message: ‘Hard Times Get Better.’ Stay focused, Stay Active, and Push Forward, always Look Alive.” – Oxymorrons

 

“Oxymorrons have the city’s multilingual street chatter running through their veins…the audacious marriage of swaggering hip-hop and nostalgic pop-punk—bringing metalheads, rap fan, and pop-punkers all into the same mosh pit”— Alternative Press (‘Rising Artists You Need To Know’)

 

“Look Alive (Netic)” is testament to Oxymorrons‘ undeniable talent and unwavering commitment to breaking barriers and defying expectations.

More than just a musician, he was a guiding force, a brother, and a mentor to all who knew him, leaving an indelible mark on the universe. Without Netic, there would be no Oxymorrons, as he not only inspired but also empowered POC bands to remain authentic and true to themselves.”

 

Oxymorrons relentless exploration of new sonic territories while staying true to their rebellious spirit and unapologetic authenticity has garnered them a dedicated and rapidly growing global fan base.

Deeper

Careful!

Deeper has released “Careful!,” its new full-length album and Sub Pop debut Recorded at Palisade Studios in the band’s hometown Chicago with help from producer/engineer Dave Vettraino (Lala Lala, Makaya McCraven), this thirteen-track collection of new songs finds the band reshaping facades, splashing color, and sonically testing their limits.

 

Following the previously released single “Sub” comes “Build a Bridge.” Using a prickly guitar line to launch into big, smeary art-pop, its emotional palette is clear, well-defined, and easy to latch onto.

 

Deeper says about the single and video: “‘Build a Bridge’ was the first song written remotely in a new format that would come to define the writing process of “Careful!”. In the early days of the band, we would throw shit at the wall in our practice space and see what stuck. Being forced to stay in our apartments during lockdown allowed us to apply more intention to a song and really dissect it piece by piece.

 

“We worked with Austin Vesely (Chance the Rapper, Whitney) on the video in which the band is hooked up to a machine, taking turns controlling alternate versions of ourselves in a different dimension. The sequence keeps repeating with each of us failing, but each attempt equips us with more knowledge from these prior failures to eventually succeed in vanquishing the spirit.”

 

Deeper is fresh off a fifteen-date opening slot with Future Islands, and the band heads into the fall with a cross-country tour.

“Adored”

Fresh off a sold out Australian tour, and with their First U.S. Tour just over the horizon starting in September, Sydney’s favorite indie duo Royel Otis drop their new single “Adored,” as they continue climbing to greater heights with their viscerally blissful pop.

 

Adored” is about “taking time for some DIY TLC. Treat yourself with some leisurely pleasure. Don’t let it bring you down, it’s only castles burning.” – Royel Otis

 

Royel Otis’ “Adored” is a sharp, post-punk leaning treat, and produced and mixed by Dan Carey (Wet Leg). The new single follows up the band’s prior “Sofa Kings” EP, which last year saw the pair take a progressive leap forward from their infectious melodies and quick-witted songwriting and land with a cleverly composed gusto of visceral stories and quick wit atop blissful guitar-fuzzed haze.

 

The record’s singles “Kool Aid”, “Sofa King”, “Going Kokomo” and “I Wanna Dance With You” were all quick to receive gushes Internationally including SiriusXM’s ALT Nation here in the states, and BBC Radio 1, Apple Music 1 and back home claimed status of Triple J’s #1 Most Played track.

Bully

Lucky For You

Bully aka Alicia Bognanno has shared “Lose You,” a new, gorgeous and fuzzy melancholic rocker. Recorded in 2022, at MMK Studios and Alicia’s House in Nashville, mastered by Joe LaPorta at Sterling Sound, and features vocal harmonies from Sophia Allison aka Soccer Mommy.

 

Bognanno says, “When ‘Lose You’ came about it was the first time I’ve considered having someone else sing on a Bully song. I love Sophie’s voice and have always admired everything she does so to me it was a no brainer. Watching her soar out of the Nashville scene and dominate indie music world wide has been a joy. Writing ‘Lose You’ was a way for me to work through the pain and reality of impermanence. It doesn’t make it any easier but reflection is often followed by growth and to me that’s what life is all about.”

 

Bully has announced new tour dates for the Spring and Summer of 2023. Highlights for this run of shows include: March 16th in Nashville opening for The Breeders, April 15th at the High Water Festival in North Charleston, SC, UK & EU dates May 20th-28th, and a 13-date run as main support for the Pixies and Franz Ferdinand June 8th-25th. See a full list of dates on our tour page.
