In a climate where getting your music heard around the world is easier than ever, it can be almost impossible to cut through the noise to really stand out, but that’s exactly what Hello, Atlantic have done with their EP, ‘Night Life’. Read More
What happens when a joke on the internet gets just a little too much traction? Please direct your attention to Weezer’s covers album, ‘Teal Album’. Read More
