New York – L.A. electro-pop band LANY has released the new single “like you lots,” from its new six-song EP kinda. The 80s heavy, modern R&B track is the perfect fit for summer.

San Francisco – Three is a powerful number.

Berkeley – Gratitude is one of those things that we just never see enough of. We all learn to say “please” and “thank you” when we’re growing up, but as we proceed through life, the words seem to lose meaning as they take their place in common, everyday conversation.

Chicago - Jonathan Avram “Yoni” Wolf of WHY? and David Cohn, better known as Serengeti or Kenny Dennis, have formed the wickedly clever duo Yoni & Geti. This isn’t the first time the Midwest underground alternative hip hop stars have worked together. Five years ago the two worked on Serengeti’s experimental rap album Family & Friends. Though, that collaboration also
Chicago – This summer is sure to be a sweet confection for Chef’Special. The Netherlands-based five-piece band – comprised of singer Joshua Nolet, guitarist Guido Joseph, bassist Jan Derks, keyboardist Wouter “Dub” Heeren, and drummer Wouter Jerry Prudon – is embarking on a North American tour this summer, in support of Twenty One Pilots.
