    Story & Song #65 bOydestiNy- A unique sound woven within the Urban tapestry.
    Jun 26 2024
    To say that bOydestiNy, AKA Anthony Thornton, didn't have an easy start in life is an understatement. He spent the first 10 years of his life in the foster system and, from the way he describes it, he got the worst of it. But then a miracle happened. He was adopted by someone who showed him real love and Anthony's future changed.

    As a musician he has played with some of the biggest names in the field of R&B. He had an overwhelming desire to learn.

    As an academic Anthony is a professor of science at The University of Florida, Tallahasee in the field of genetics.

    He seems to love life and is genuienly filled with graditude.

    If you are in a bad place in life for whatever reason, please listen to this conversation with bOydestiNy/ Anthony Thornton. I hope it inspires you to keep on dreaming that anything is possible.
    You'll really love his music too! Enjoy.

    Jun 17 2024
    Alan are: Alex Malaguti, vocals, Andrea Chirico, arranger, multi-instrumentalist and guitarist, Marco Mancin, drummer and Giuseppe Dalano, bassist.All four members have been active in the Italian underground music scene for over 20 years. Their project was born out of a series of online creative sessions, driven by the need to set current affairs to music, from politics to civic sense, from feelings to human relationships, with an invitation to reflection and introspection.With 70,000 streams on Spotify and 150,000 views on YouTube, the Italian public has shown its appreciation for a completely self-produced band.Electro-rock arrangements that look to a glorious past, a sound clearly inspired by the 90s, and a relentless rhythm: for The Alan are making music means taking a stand, not being afraid to say what they think, and trying to subvert the system.
    Alan have been releasing music since 2023, reaching notable positions in some of the most renowned Italian indie charts and receiving praise from some of Italy's most important publications and portals.Their new single Hawaii is an anthem to lightness as understood by the Italian writer Italo Calvino, who commented, "Lightness is not superficiality, but soaring above things, not having boulders on your heart".In this vein, the single, exploring summer atmospheres of nostalgic past, tells of love affairs that are born and end without too much drama and of life that flows in other events because people are made of a continuous reborn.

    Story & Song #62 Nraakers- Gordian Knot
    Mar 21 2024
    Nraakors is the brainchild of James Kasper, Joseph Norman and Gigi Macabre.Their music includes aspects of grunge, prog, noise rock, thrash metal, jazz fusion, folk, neoclassical and free improv. The result is a bit like the composers; weird, a bit roughhewn, somewhat sentimental and equal parts sardonic and sincere.
