Song of the day - Proof - City Lightz

Protest songs take a hard line. In this day and in this PC age it isn't polite to disagree. But fk politeness. Lets get to it. The gentleman who make up Citylightz are not shy. That would be their antonym. Synonym would be brash, outspoken, deliciously fresh. They get on well. When they aren't threating a break up. That happened. But they mended fences and got back at it.

Proof pulls out the feelings people might be thinking but can't, won't say. They used to have Super mega fringes. Funny dudes. Chatting on a radio interview about back when there was Blink 182 and American pie..... The song "Proof" goes full on about the inequity of wage and "the assailants" They are not afraid to go at the Brexit exit, What the hell is going on there anyway?

Back to the music. Slithering guitar. punk hip hop singing. They just "rap on it". They play with 2 guitars and a bass. The drummer kicks yea the drummer kicks. Yea. The song rings up inequity in wages and how one should keep their mouth shut. I, for one, am glad Citylightz is not being silent. They are saying what you want to say. They just aren't afraid to say it. Word. Who the heck is putting "blood and corruption" in their lyrics? And maybe it is just what people want to hear. Even if they pretend they don't. You don't hear that brazen truth from a lot of bands who are playing it safe. Fk the critics. Turn on the LIGHTZ.

The Lightz of the city are a spunky band destined for good things on the horizon. Support them.

Song of the day - The Big Swirl - Barney Cortez

Wild opening sequence draws you in with a sweep of psychedelic, cowboy energy. barney favors Stetson looks btw. Eclectic guitar riffs match the lyrical sass and elegant horn accouterments. Barney comes at you with silky smooth vocals that belie the hard truth as he tells a little story about his journey. He thought he should call this track Runaway but The Big Swirl spews intrigue. He sing about being a coke a cola freak and the failure trap. So he Runs away. "The Big Swirl" emanates from a song by "Sir Rockaby", Frank Black tune. The particular use of the term moved Barney. He told me, " " It's what he calls the sky and the universe and I came to use the phrase as the spectrum of human emotions and experience. Sort of like a rebirth." This is deep and poignant kind of like much of Barney's music and though process. Barney imparts a casual vibe but his songs are ripe with world wariness. He has a groovy vibe sport

This useful educational article appears Rubber: A simple introduction - Explain that Stuff There is also a 2010 movie entitled Rubber. ´ Rubber is a 2010 English-language French independent, satirical horror film about a tire that comes to life and kills people with its psychic powers.” Apparently it’s based on a true story. Rubber, the band, from Philadelphia consists of Andrew Loper (Singer/Co-Writer) & John Della Franco (Producer/Co-Writer). This amiable duo is quickly gaining steam and streams. They are playing in several local Philly venues drawing crowds with only 2 secured singles out. They say an EP is coming soon. “Contol” snapped and popped into my finely tuning auditory system. The level of sophisticated twists in this melodious song about contemporary angst is right on point. The aspect of pretending to be in control anchors this self admittedly personal tr
