Omaha's Names Without Numbers Decry the Pace of Life on Frazzled New VIDEO "PING PONG BALL IN A CONCRETE ROOM"

We all know that feeling of constantly chasing behind the cart, like there just aren't enough hours in the day to get everything done that we need to. Luckily, Names Without Numbers know the feeling too. In fact, as we hear on the Omaha, Nebraska quartet's new video for the single "Ping Pong Ball in a Concrete Room," they know the feeling all too well. “I'm everywhere at once these days, sings vocalist/guitarist Ryan Cruickshank, tied to the conveyor belt of life”.

"This song," Cruickshank explains, "is about the frenetic pace of life. Sometimes it feels like things are moving way too fast to stay on top of all your responsibilities. The only thing you can do is keep moving forward." To be fair, that's not the only thing you can do — you can also take a pause to listen to this song and remind yourself that you're not alone. As "Ping Pong Ball in a Concrete Room (listen on Spotify)" builds to its gloriously catchy chorus, it's impossible not to sing along with the words short on time / steady grind / here then gone / just hold on.

In the context of the song, the stress of not keeping up never felt so good. Produced, recorded and mixed by Joshua Barber (Norma Jean, The Devil Wears Prada, Hit The Lights), "Ping Pong Ball in a Concrete Room" combines the urgency of emo/pop-punk luminaries like Jimmy Eat World and Anberlin with the seasoned songwriting sensibilities of rock giants like Springsteen and Petty.

"Ping Pong Ball in a Concrete Room" is the second single off the band's upcoming EP We Create Reality, out September 27th.

"We Create Reality is our first release fully written and recorded in the post-COVID world," says the band in a joint statement. "In most ways, life has gone back to the way it was prior to the pandemic, but many of us now have a different worldview — a lingering, shared PTSD that we all incurred from such a disruptive societal event. It’s given some of us a yearning to go back into quarantine, where things were more focused and peaceful; to identify our daily grind as the never-ending rat-race it has become. That experience gave a lot of us the confidence and the motivation to rediscover who we are and buck against the constraints we were under, while simultaneously deepening our appreciation for what we now look back on as "the good old days.” This collection of songs reflects all of those conflicting feelings."

Greg Hoy & the Boys Get Back to Riff Rock Roots on Hives/Kinks Inspired “Holy Mother of God” EP, Video, and Tour

After last year's introspective “Yay For Effort” vinyl LP and tour, Greg Hoy and The Boys return to the catchy punk pop sound of their earlier albums. “Holy Mother of God”, which is now available on Bandcamp with a planned release to Spotify and hard hitting music video that’s about to drop, is three and half minutes of guitar riff catchy rock n roll.

The 4 song EP features two amazing guests. In particular, Eddie Spaghetti of The Supersuckers - one of rock n roll's underrated songwriters and icons - took the title of the song, and wrote an entire new story from a different perspective. And as a joke, the band decided to cut a tongue-in-cheek 'upbeat' version, “Holy Mother of Ska”, featuring veteran ska icon Dave Sharma, drummer of the famously cool The Skalars, to play on it.

Jack Rabid from The Big Takeover says “With 'Holy Mother of God', California’s Hoy & The Boys are back to restless rocking — if The Kinks’ 'You Really Got Me' lashed to Nirvana’s “Lithium.”...if Cobain or Chrissie Hynde sang this strong outing, it’d be a smash”.

The trio's tour will hit several regions and have the band sharing the stage on the east coast leg with Richard Reilly of legendary NYC 80s punks Victims.

Long Island Singer / Songwriter / Producer Teddy Wender Releases “Peace Will Come” Single/Video

During these chaotic and uncertain days, the musicians and artists take to the forefront to deliver messages of hope and optimism. Long Island based singer/songwriter/producer and living legend Teddy Wender released a magnificent new song and video- "Peace Will Come" today! 

The tune offers lyrics about unity and positive vibes to calm and uplift your mood during these troubled times. What we need more of, are songs like this. A promise of a better future, hope that there will be more harmony and togetherness in the world, and the only way to get there is through love. Love always wins in the end.

"Peace Will Come" is now available on Spotify, YouTube, Amazon, Apple Music and all major streaming services.



In six months, our world has irreversibly changed. An invisible virus has ravaged the globe, devastating families and changing the way that humans have behaved since the dawn of time.

Yet despite these isolating and threatening circumstances, millions have come together to remind us that real change comes when we unite during difficult times. The time for peace, safety and equality for ALL people is right now.

“Peace Will Come” is an anthem of love, peace, equality, and hope. The love child of native New Yorkers, Teddy Wender and Neil Rosengarden, co-produced by Chris “The Fourz” Brown. The result of decades of friendship and brotherhood that can only be sustained by empathy, acceptance, and ultimately love.

The song implores us to stand beside our brothers and help them out when they are down, and warns us that unless we show a little kindness, we’re setting up for our demise. An essential and pertinent message for our quickly evolving world.

"With the nation being at such crossroads, with over 200,000 deaths due to the pandemic, resulting in millions of jobs lost, and a dramatic rise in racial injustice not seen since the 60’s, political polarization is at an all-time high, peace, love and understanding is all we need now. It’s time to work together and this song says just that. Please join us to try to make a better world for our kids.” - Ted Wender

Emma Pierson Releases “Don’t Forget to Remember Me” Single/Video

Emma Pierson has released her debut single “Don’t Forget to Remember Me” in the midst of the maelstrom of Covid 19. It is an homage, in the style of Taylor Swift and Ariana Grande, to the value of memories and the relationship that must be fastened to preserve them.

Emma Pierson is a young, vital voice in the pop music pantheon, of precociousness beyond her years. She has a ratcheting sense of unease, coupled with her hope and optimism. "Don't Forget to Remember Me" offers powerful resolution in order to maintain relationships. She layers the emotions of missing people and dealing with loss poignantly, a performance that is beautifully crafted and delivers a powerful voice on the threshold of change.

 

Originally from Baltimore, Maryland, Emma Pierson has been singing and writing song lyrics since the age of four. The natural-born performer, who was recognized with relative pitch early on, started her formal training at the prestigious Stages Music Arts when she was 9-years-old. Emma first worked with singer/songwriter and instructor Ashley Higginbotham, and soon began to pursue other musical outlets at Stages, including musical theater, as well as guitar with instructor Brennan McShane. She later joined a Beatles cover band, and went on to perform—alone and with her band—at various open mic nights and music festivals at Baltimore’s Union Collective.



At age 11, inspired by an upcoming move to Austin, Texas, Emma wrote and recorded her debut single, “Don’t Forget to Remember Me,” with the help of talented musicians and producers at Stages Music Arts. Ashley Higginbotham and Brennan McShane collaborated with Emma on the composition. Charles Simon, the General Manager at Stages, produced the sound recording along with engineer Dave Nachodsky, who recorded/mixed/mastered the song. Video work for the music video was done by Tim Szczesniak. Emma’s eventual move to Austin opened the doors for her to continue her musical endeavors under the guidance of celebrated singer/songwriters, Chad and Natasha Hudson. Along the way, Emma covered numerous pop hits, seen on YouTube at Emma Pierson.

"An American Lie" Single/Video Release - Rory D'Lasnow

It takes a special kind of courage to put any form of rebellion into one's music. There is more than just a melody, but a crucial message from the artist in the forefront of one's song when doing so.

"An American Lie", Rory D’Lasnow's new single, is a powerful diatribe against hypocritical views society holds for its citizens. He attributes the responsibility for false ideals to "abuse of power, and negligence in response - which has been going on for centuries" - Rory says.

He is both an originator and collector of grievances many minorities hold, thus the emergence of activists and artists to chronicle them. From the trailblazer perspective, D'Lasnow delivers the promise of change and optimism for all.

The song has a hopeful beauty to it during these chaotic times. There are traces of American country music, but also the influence of alternative radio indie pop. It starts off rather pretty and kicks in to a more anthemic rock ballad. 'Shut it down and start it over, there's a story still to tell' is exactly what needs to be done regarding acts of racial injustice and systemic racism. We live in a broken society built to work against minorities and communal equality. D'Lasnow sings about this, suggesting we must rebuild the entire organization of how we live day to day.

“My hope is that we can unite as a human race to eliminate the bigotry and prejudice that is so rampant in society today. My goal is to use my voice in the best way I can to stand up for equality and justice”

Rory D’Lasnow has performed at distinguished venues such as The Knitting Factory, The Bowery Electric, Pianos and Rockwood Music Hall, Revolution Music Hall on Long Island, and The Saint and Brighton Bar on the Jersey Shore - as well as numerous festivals, and has been fanatically prolific while in quarantine. He has dedicated all proceeds to the NAACP Legal Defense Fund. He is slated to perform at the Atlantic City Beer and Music Festival in 2021. On a side note, D'Lasnow plays guitar upside down and backwards, perhaps leading to his daring homage to Babyface, Buddy Miles, Jimmy Cliff, and Dick Dale.

He is truly an original: fresh, intensified and highly perceptive about what America is all about.

“An American Lie”, the new single/video from emerging East Coast based Singer/Songwriter Rory D’Lasnow, is now available on Spotify, YouTube and all the other major services. All proceeds from sales and streams of the song will go to the NAACP Legal Defense Fund.

The song, produced by Hidden In Plain View guitarist Rob Freeman (Gym Class Heroes, Armor For Sleep, Cobra Starship, Hit The Lights) was written among the ever-increasing instances of violence against people of color in America. It speaks to the ever widening dichotomy of “An American Lie”; the supposed promise of liberty, justice and equality for all. D’Lasnow holds the belief that we as Americans are pledging our allegiance to a false ideal that is not fully realized for many of our citizens.

All proceeds go to the NAACP Legal Defense Fund. Please donate below:

Greg Hoy & The Boys "Leaving While You Stay" - Single and Video Premiere

Greg Hoy's newest single/video, “Leaving You While You Stay” opens with a crunching blues riff and howling vocals about watching and observing people as they stay put during the current political climate. The song builds nicely with a solid and steady groove along ripping guitar riffs. The comparison to Led Zeppelin is gloriously unshakeable and authentic in its rawest rock form and vintage production. 

From the rhythm section of Dennis Galway (drums), Mark Nichoson (bass), or the vocal range and tonality, as well as lyrical structured flow of Greg Hoy, the band sounds like a post-punk Led Zeppelin brought into 2020. It was recorded to classic two inch tape at Tiny Telephone studios in San Francisco, heavy and in your face, the way true rock and roll was meant to sound.

The "Leaving While You Stay" video is an exceptionally resonant response to our precarious circumstances: If you elect a clown, you're going to get a circus. The impact of an unparalleled catastrophe in the extreme. The track weaves an introspective thread of political consciousness and humanism while thumping away to an unstoppable hard-hitting drum beat.

"Leaving While You Stay" was to coincide with the canceled west coast summer tour #saveourstages = COVID PAIN.

The single, part of a batch of 11 new tracks gets its video release today on YouTube. Watch below:

Robert Eberle | Versa the Band | Don Da Menace Release “Enough” in Support of the #BlackLivesMatter Movement (Single & Video)

While watching attentively at the protests that have been filling the streets of America, 15 year old Singer/Songwriter Robert Eberle felt inspired to write a song entitled “Enough”; which aims to affect a positive change in the fight against systemic racism in the United States - and all around the world. He then enlisted friends Ethan Felizzari/Versa the band (whom Robert collaborated with on "Hate Me" in 2019) and CK Records Management Division artist Don Da Menace to create this poignant and memorable tribute to an important cause - the #BlackLivesMatter movement.

Produced and Engineered by Colton Lava, “Enough” (with Versa the Band & Don Da Menace) is now available on Spotify, Apple Music and all the major services. The video for the track is also available on YouTube.

"When is it enough?? I am upset by what I see from those who are supposed to be protecting all of us from harm, and by what I hear from the so called leaders of our country about it", Robert said, "The constitution is supposed to provide equality and liberty for everyone, regardless of your race, and that just doesn’t seem to always happen - especially for those in the Black community. It's wrong and it needs to change, now. Young people especially are just fed up and even though a lot of us can't vote - yet - our generation isn't just going to sit by and do nothing".

About Robert Eberle:

About Versa the Band:

With a name as ambiguous as Versa the Band, you have to wonder, what even is this project? Originating from Long Island, New York, Versa the Band made it a priority to create music that was genreless; a discography for anyone to listen to, not defined in any one box. The band — which isn’t much of a band at all — describes itself as a “Music Collective” of artists who come together to collaborate with founder Ethan Felizzari. VTB’s sound blends Alternative and Hip Hop with traditional Pop, elements of Jazz, Soft Rock & more. Influences include artists like Bon Iver, James Blake, Rosalia, & soul legend Sam Cooke. Versa the Band is currently signed to indie label CK Records (A CK Productions Company) and is expected to release their first full length project in Late Fall 2020.

About Don Da Menace:

Don Da Menace is a NYC based Hip Hop artist whose style can best be defined as “old school” meets “new school”. Don Da Menace has quickly become an artist many in Uptown, NY have been paying attention to. His detailed lyricism & attention to storytelling seems to emulate the likes of Hip Hop greats like Jay-Z, J. Cole & Kendrick Lamar. However, within his lyricism, Don Da Menace always manages to get you moving, having fun & feeling a wide range of emotions. His flow is remarkable, his style is impeccable and his love for NYC is deep rooted — all of which you can hear clearly in his music. Don Da Menace is currently working on his largest full length mixtape to be released in August 2020.

100% OF ALL PROCEEDS (SALES, STREAMS, MERCHANDISE ETC) WILL BE DONATED!

Jesse Eplan Blazes into High Gear with Latest Video for his Track “Bakwoods”

Fast rising hip hop star Jesse Eplan just dropped the smoking new video for his well received slow dance worthy anthem “Bakwoods”, which was released on all the major services earlier this year. The popping track details Jesse’s love and respect for one special woman, and for the recreational activities he enjoys doing only with her; regardless of the endless line of shortys looking to get with him and his green sticky leaf.



After his move to Los Angeles in 2018, Eplan has continued adding to his ever growing musical palette, with strong songs and new fire beats coming seemingly every week. A New York native, Jesse broke major ground with the release of his first two major LP's - 2017's "Trap Harmony" and 2018's "Purple Wave", and the Trap and Hip-Hop world took MAJOR notice of the rising young star through his collaborations with like minded artists like Famous Dex (A$AP Rocky, Lil Pump) and Kontraversy (Grafh, LouGotCash), but it seems we've only seen the tip of the iceberg that is Jesse Eplan.



With his major influences ranging from artists like Future to Lil Uzi Vert, Chris Brown, Smokepurpp, MadeinTYO and Travis Scott - Eplan has taken their flow, hooks, beat selection, and more into account when creating his own music. Geography has also had a major impact - as a NY native, Eplan took what he learned from the ever growing R&B, Hip-Hop, and Trap scene throughout NYC and Long Island and relocated to Tampa, FL where he attended the University of Tampa. This added yet another dynamic to his creativity, says Jesse “Being in Tampa gave me new elements of a more tropical sound to add to my music. From its overall Summer vibes to the scenery, it really spoke to me along with being able to meet new artists, producers, videographers and entrepreneurs to learn from and collaborate with”. This is evident in “Purple Wave”, which he categorizes as very different from the rap music of today’s generation. With tracks like “Cannon” (Feat. Kontraversy) and “Lost Time” he goes from hardened undertones to giving himself a chance to do some soulful singing. “I listen to these tracks and its very magical” he says, “The more people I ask, the more feedback I get on how expansive the album is and how everyone seems to have their own favorite track”.

Grammy Nominated Singer/Songwriter Ajay Mathur Drops New Video "Time For Deliverance"

Following his last release My Wallet is a House of Cards’ off the 2018 album “Little Boat”, Singer/Songwriter Ajay Mathur has debuted his latest collaborative fan video effort of 2019 - “Time For Deliverance”!

Crafted from the vibrant art and design of director/animator Mertcan Mertbilek from Istanbul (who previously worked on the video for Mathur’s “Little Boat” single), the video is a uniquely visual. Portraying animated paintings from Mathur singing to beautifully enlivened surfers riding waves, palm trees, beach and boardwalk scenes which beautifully counter the bluesy feel of the song and lyrical refrain “It's my time for deliverance no I ain't giving up on love” with vibrant color.

“Time For Deliverance is a beautifully crafted tune. This time Mathur pulls in some R&B and jazz influences, weaving a soulful sax with backing vocals. Both play off his clear and straightforward vocals. The song fulfills the theme of Little Boat, ‘It’s time for my deliverance, I ain’t giving up on love.’ Very nicely done.” - Kath Galasso, Onstage Magazine

“Time For Deliverance is an epic jam laced with some amazingly sweet brass which puts on full display Ajay’s ability to seamlessly switch genres while staying true to his core sound.” -Joshua “J.SMo” Smotherman, Mid Tennessee Music

“Time for Deliverance blends soul and R&B elements into an oozing, sticky tune smoldering with dark sensuality.” - Randall Radic, Blogcritics

Little Boat, Ajay Mathur’s newest album, was launched on its maiden voyage in the usual way in spring of this year. Quickly picked up by playlists and fans, the music and the album’s message of resilience has resonated with listeners and critics alike. Unlike previous projects, though, Little Boat has taken on a life of its own, picking up unexpected passengers along the way.

Independent of each other, diverse digital artists from around the globe including from Istanbul and Warsaw as well as an Argentinean in Los Angeles, heard a call and felt compelled to add some valuable cargo to Little Boat’s journey. The result is a colourful, complex and highly-imaginative work of animated accompaniments to Ajay’s songs.

The first of these, released earlier this year, is a quirky psychedelic and vibrant tribute to the title song ‘Little Boat’, composed by the young Turkish artist Mertcan Mertbilek. The next to be released was a provocative animated video to the stomping blues rocker ‘My Wallet is a House of Cards’. The images were inspired by the rebellious spirit of the song and depict a ruthless caricature of consumption and an increasingly indebted society. This stunning video was created by Argentine artist Ciro Ayala, who lives and works in Los Angeles. More videos are in the works and will hit the waves in the coming months.

Video artists are not the only passengers that have hopped on Little Boat’s journey. Besides the digital treasures, an illustrated children’s book by a writer in Delhi, India as well as a full-length novel weaving through the themes in Little Boat by an American living in Switzerland are in the works.

It is plain to see that Little Boat has left ripples in its wake, touching people at every port along the way. Rarely does an album inspire this kind of organic response and like any true adventure on the open seas, it is impossible to tell which way the winds will blow next. This music has opened up a whole new route on unchartered waters. Batten down the hatches because this Little Boat is on course to explore new and uncharted worlds.

Having recently won “Best Album of the Year” at Germany’s 36th Annual Rock & Pop Awards 2018, it's no wonder fans and critics alike are craving more unique collaborative works from Ajay Mathur. And with his latest video for “Time For Deliverance”, they get just that.

Little Boat, which was given its final touches at the iconic Abbey Road Studios in London, is available in digital formats for download and streaming, as well as physical vinyl and compact disc album formats.
