Sometimes a band arrives out of nowhere, with a fully formed sound ready to fill a stadium. KING HANNAH is one of those bands. The Liverpool band, led by the creative force of Hannah Merrick and Craig Whittle, has arrived with Tell Me Your Mind And I’ll Tell You Mine, an EP that is both soothing in its moods and intoxicating in its rushing soundscapes.
Air Traffic Controller has created a place all their own in the indie-pop world. After serving in the US Navy as an actual air traffic controller, singer/songwriter Dave Munro built a legacy with ATC for crafting heartfelt, luscious, and genuine indie-folk-pop songs that are timeless and classic.
These three friends from central Indiana had reached a point where years of hard work and creativity were just starting to pay off. They were hailed as one of the most inventive young bands around, with comparisons to Guided by Voices, My Bloody Valentine, and the Radio Dept.—and that’s exactly when they went on hiatus.
Secret American is a bi-coastal band born from the collaboration of singer/songwriter and guitarist Derek Krzywicki, who lives in the small town of Carpinteria on the California coast east of Santa Barbara, and his long-time friend Todd Mecaughey, a producer/engineer and musician from Philadelphia.
Since the release of “Warmth & Shelter,” Secret American has been recording and releasing new singles that will eventually be included on their second album.
A lot has changed since Jess Cornelius began writing the songs that would comprise Distance.
For starters, she moved halfway around the world from Melbourne, Australia to Los Angeles. At the time, Cornelius had a few new songs and the idea of finally making a record of her own.
