I first saw Lauren Rocket playing keys with Night Terrors Of 1927 a few years ago. Since then she’s been slowly but surely working on her solo career. About a week ago she posted the first video for new music. “Diamond Nights” gives us an idea of what to expect from upcoming tunes. The video is a sun-drenched glimpse at Nevada is all it’s neon … Continue reading Lauren Rocket-Diamond Nights
Over the summer Tancred put out a new album called Nightstand. I saw her play a couple years ago when Out Of The Garden was first released, but this one somehow flew under my radar. The album is a bit poppier than the last, which is a good thing. This video for “Something Else” is a lot of fun. It’s inspired by the show Riverdale … Continue reading Tancred-Something Else

Since then they’ve released a couple singles and transitioned from Seattle to Los Angeles. “Local Mall” is the first new music from their upcoming EP White Dove, which comes out 10/19. The band directed the … Continue reading Tangerine-Local Mall
