HANNAH GILL SET TO TAKE EUROPE BY STORM IN DECEMBER 2017 TOUR
Alternative pop music artist, Hannah Gill, of the sensational New York, US duo, Hannah Gill And The Hours has announced her latest tour dates with music collective, Post Modern Jukebox.
After
2 successful tours already this year back to back beginning in the
summer with a tour of New Zealand and Australia, and then quickly
following up with an Alaska, US tour, it looks like PMJ and Hannah Gill
could be looking to pursue a more long term relationship than previously
thought.
It
all began when Scott Bradlee, the founder of the sensational music
collective which was formed in 2011 to paint the sounds of the past in
the light of contemporary music, approached Hannah to do a song
together. The song was such a favorite amongst PMJ fans that they couldn't
stop there. So far they've released 2 official singles together on
iTunes. The video of their latest song, "Chasing Pavements", a remake of Adele's popular
chart topping record saw over a 100,000 views on YouTube in just over a
week and has now reached close to 600,000 views 4 weeks later.
Their upcoming tour, which will include venues in France, Italy, Germany and Monaco has been scheduled to take place from the 2nd till the 19th of December, 2017

UNITY IS STRENGTH IN TIMES OF NEED
Honorebel : Miami after Irma
Honorebel : Miami after Irma
Reggae artist,
Honorebel is known for his distinctive uplifting sound, charisma,
irresistible charm and business acuity, qualities which have all seen to
it that he enjoys
an illustrious music career as one of the most successful independent artists in Florida, USA today.
Born and raised in Kingston, Jamaica,
Honorebel relocated to Miami, Florida as an adult shortly after honing
his distinctive reggae sound, born out of the tropical rhythms and
infectious grooves of Jamaica's thriving local music scenes.
Honorebel
is also passionate about giving back to his community and supporting
local causes. Shortly after Irma hit Miami, he was actively involved in
catering to the immediate needs of the city's affected residents and
continues to do so with the help of colleagues and other locals.
He
was spotted in this footage of relief efforts in the region shortly
after the worst was over in September. Over 1,500 meals were served on
that particular day. Help is still needed, so anyone interested in
supporting victims of Irma is welcome to get in touch directly via
social media or other means to be put through to the appropriate relief
teams and charities.

CHICAGO CELEBRATES 7 YEARS OF CHRIZ J
If your hip hop collection has been really missing that oomph! lately then the latest EP by Chicago
rapper, record label owner and enterpreneur, Chriz J will surely put
your mind at ease, like it has done many Chicago hip hop music critics
who have followed closely since his very first underground records back
in 2010.
Known
for his uplifting, motivational, down to earth, go-getter sound, Chriz
made a name for himself on Chicago's underground hip hop music scene a
while before he made his mark with "Gettin' Money", a record that caught
the attention of online and offline press, radio stations, DJs and music industry insiders not just in Chicago but far and wide as well.
Chriz
set up his record label, New Mill Recordings shortly after and has been
releasing music independently ever since, never failing to make an
impact more severe than the last every single time.
With
the release of "Changes" back in 2016, Chriz further improved his sound
to reveal a slightly more polished, bigger production overall. The song
was also his first internationally released record, distributed via iTunes,
Spotify and other popular digital music retailers online. He quickly
followed up with another new single, "Perfect" in July, 2017 and more
recently, in August, "Time", all leading the way and building the buzz
for his highly anticipated and now critically acclaimed 2017 EP, "7 EP" which is free to listen to and download on Spinrilla but is expected to become more widely available shortly.
With
so many successful music releases under his belt, "7 EP", which is
being hailed as his best so far has his loyal fans, who have stuck with
him since his early days holding on to their seats to see where it takes
him in his now rapidly progressing career, 7 years after his first
official record.

SOUTH KOREA'S ROCK STAR RADIO HOST
Back in September, Annie Ko of the sensational South Korean electronic rock duo, Love X Stereo was named the new host of Seoul radio station, TBS eFM's indie
(independent) music radio program to help introduce unsigned, upcoming,
emerging and newly discovered local and national bands to music fans
and listeners in the region. The program, Soundcheck, is a two hour show originally hosted by Luke
Cleary, who will be Annie's co-host, and can be streamed online at the
TBS EFM website or on local radio
frequency 101.3 MHz.
It
came not too long after the band's mini UK tour and chart topping album
release which saw the band soar to the top of Korean music charts
within only a week. The band had also recently been at the Focus Wales 2017
festival at the time where they put on a show-stopping performance and cemented
their name in the minds of fans. "37A", their latest album is still one
of the top releases of 2017 in their home region and the band continues
their rise, now at an even more rapid pace, dominating all other similar
bands in their path independently and stealing the hearts of anyone and
everyone who is lucky enough to discover their sound.
Starting
out as a trio back in 2011, Love X Stereo later became a duo a year or
two ago, and after many more great achievements and the continued
success of their illustrious music career which has taken them to music
venues, concert halls
and clubs not just in South Korea but internationally as well where they
have become favorites at popular music and entertainment festivals like
SXSW, the band still manages to somehow find new and innovative ways to
appease their fans sonically, lyrically and visually.
37A is available to stream on Spotify, and download on iTunes and
other popular digital music retailers.

FROM THE ASHES OF THE MISERY
Insightful, frightening, and in your face, Texas, US
band, Venustra is a deeply immersive metal music act that aims to
please and terrify, not just sonically but visually as well. Through
dark lyrics and hard hitting theatrical sounds their aim is to take
listeners on an artistic, nightmarish ride that'll have them begging for
more, and they achieve just that every single time.
Born out of the remains of a solo music project, Misery Theatre, and influenced by musicians like Freddie Mercury of Queen, Steven Tyler of Aerosmith, Robert Plant of Led Zeppelin, Metallica and Marilyn Manson,
Zenustra's sound is a matured, sophisticated, eclectic sound that
spawns songs that are unforgetable, whether experienced live in concert
or recorded.
In
her dark and carefully crafted "lyrical massacres", the band's lead
singer Synderella Nervosa touches on issues such as politics and
religion, and also incorporates haunting true stories that are just as
compelling as they are sure to leave a scar in the minds of anyone
listening.
The
band's first official EP, "Venustra EP" is still being hailed for its
ingenuity since its release back in June, 2016, and after such a
successful debut they have been quick to follow up with two top singles
in 2017, "Fear in Varieties" released in June and more recently, "Brand
New Satan" which was released on the 12th of September.
All Venustra's releases are widely available to listen to free on Reverbnation, as well as download on iTunes, Spotify and other popular digital music platforms online like eMusic, Rhapsondy and Amazon mp3.

BLUE COUNTRY (2017)
Nathan
Street-West has been making music since his early teens. After
releasing his first official album at the tender age of 14, he took the
next step in his music career and became the youngest artist ever
admitted into The Musicians Institute in Hollywood at just 15+ years
old, where he honed his craft and learned the business of music.
With
three full-sized albums under his belt, and having written and
performed some of the most original songs rock music has experienced for
decades, "Blue Country" came several years after his last, "Witness"
owing to health issues. According to him it was inpired by artists like John Coltrane, Miles Davis,
Muddy Waters, Leadbelly and similar early blue acts. It is without
doubt one of his best releases to date and fans are calling it one of
the best rock albums they've heard in a very long time.
Blue Country is available to stream on Spotify and other digital music streaming services, and download on iTunes, Amazon mp3 and other digital music stores.

HANNAH GILL AND PMJ MAKE ANOTHER CLASSIC ON TOUR
It's
been a sensational year for New York alternative pop duo, Hannah Gill
And The Hours. Their latest record, "The Water" released back in 2016
received recognition across the US and beyond, garnering a whole new
crowd of fans and supporters, and gaining the attention of local,
national and international radio stations, press, industry insiders and critics far and wide, online and offline, who had
nothing but good things to say about the sensational release. It has
been years since alternative pop music has experienced a sound so
unique, original and refreshing, and the band is being revered as one of
the top new alternative music acts of this decade.
After
a busy year gigging in and around the US, lead singer Hannah Gill
teamed up with Scott Bradlee, an arranger and pianist who founded the
music collective, Post Modern Jukebox back in 2011. Post Modern Jukebox
is dedicated to painting the sounds of the past in a whole new light,
remaking and remixing them to reflect the contemporary sounds of music
today. The project has rapidly grown over the years, bringing fans of
music of all generations from the sixties to the millenium together to
experience music like never before.
Their
first song together, "Somebody I Used To Know", released on the 1st of
June, 2017 was so special and such a big hit with PMJ fans that Scott
invited Hannah on tour with the collective. Still on tour and now
drawing in more crowds than ever before, PMJ and Hannah Gill recently announced a
new single, "Chasing Pavements" which was released on iTunes and Apple
Music on the 5th of October.

TARA KYE'S NEW ALBUM
Stream|Download Tara's New Album on iTunes|Apple Music:
https://itunes.apple.com/us/album/freedom-rocks-feat-john-dean/id1272263898
If
anyone knows how to intensify the build up to an album and get fans'
ears watering right up to the very second before its release, it's none
other than Canadian rock artist, Tara Kye. Tara has proven to be one of
the most hard working emerging artists in British Columbia,
and possibly in Canada as a whole even. Over the past 12 months alone
she has released close to 10 singles back to back almost every month.
She released a 6 track EP, "Tortured Love" in February, which treated
fans to her top releases prior to the EP, including the title track,
Tortured Love which was her latest single
at the time. Similarly, in August she released the single "Freedom
Rocks" shortly before announcing her new album "Freedom Rocks" which was
released on the 21st of August, 2017.
It's
been an exciting year for Tara's fans, and an even more exciting year
for Tara whose passion is to inspire and motivate the world through
music. She sprung onto Canada's rock scene with a distinctive,
captivating, organic rock sound that pays homage to the authentic sounds
of the genre whilst skillfully incorporating elements from other genres
without compromising its integrity with the help of Canadian musician,
John Dean, who taught her how to play the piano and has since worked with her on many of her songs.
Her
latest album demonstrates her growth as an artist over the past year
and features 10 songs including many of her previous hits. "Freedom
Rocks" is available to download on iTunes, and stream on Apple Music and
Spotify.
