Brick + Mortar | "Saturday Night"
An ode to America's drug culture drops today as your summer starts to wind down. An independent band from New Jersey, these two best friends found each other through music and a shared sense of loneliness, which has now been channeled into songs that cope with depression, anxiety, and other topics of maturing and growing up. Their debut album will be out next week.

⭐️ PREMIERE ⭐️ | Alicia Witt | "Satellite"
From actress to musician, there is nothing Witt cannot accomplish. In her latest video, we see some incredible artistry work that hints at a strong background in classical music. If you have liked watching her on your television screen, you will love hearing her voice in your headphones.

The Happy Fits | "Hungry People"
A national fencing champion and an orchestra nerd are not exactly people you think would be creating beautiful music together, but alas, the two began talking music together and a shared interest in artists have led to a wonderful partnership. They have spent the past couple of years moving their way up the charts and touring with amazing response.

ALBUMS/EPs...
Dragon Inn 3 | Double Line
This band's roots can be founded in writing songs to support the screen, but with their latest release they establish themselves as musical artists in their own right. A family affair recorded in between working full-time jobs and attending school, it was certainly worth all of the effort.
