Carlos Hernandez (aka Carlos Truly) spent the better part of the last decade shedding wood with various punk and noise projects, most notably as the band leader for indie supergroup Ava Luna. But in 2018, seeking inspiration beyond the art rock and post-punk sensibilities of NYC’s yesteryear, Carlos Truly self-released On Folly. The ten-track album veers toward experimental R&B and slinky, soulful tunes, highlighting Carlos’ crooning charisma as a soloist. On Folly by Carlos Truly We’re overjoyed to announce that Carlos Truly is now signed to Bayonet Records (home to Taphari, Beach Fossils ..read more

While Brendan Hagan Opoku Ware’s most recent effort, featuring Seattle’s legendary SOULECTION artist Sango, is more than ideal for the fast-approaching open-air festival season, he submits himself to darker and more urgent themes on his exclusively solo work as Hagan. Released last fall on Gobstopper Records, Hagan’s three-track Waves EP is forward-moving club music, as much informed by London’s penchant for deep house as the electrifying polyrhythms teeming from modern Ghana.  Stream “On Sight”, a hyper-pop techno stomper which wouldn’t sound out of a place in mainstream ballroom vogue e ..read more

New York City’s QNA fuse hip-hop and jazz with marvelous results, and the group’s newest single “Fuck’M” is no exception.

Improv Hip-Hop Outfit Poetic Thrust Premiere New EP On Deck

New York needs Poetic Thrust. It’s been ages since the city had a musical group worthy of ubiquitous local praise– a band that could accurately speak to the ever-changing, ever-darkening development of this metropolitan jungle’s five disparate boroughs. Manhattan trio RATKING got dangerously close to passing the torch in 2014, after their debut full-length So It Goes dropped, but the band dissolved shortly after. It might take longer still for a band like Poetic Thrust to grab all the ears it deserves, but at this rate the band’s ultimate rise is all but inevitable. Poetic Thrust - Artichoke ..read more

I was recently lucky enough to witness Jessie Reyez headline a sold-out show at New York City’s Brooklyn Steel in front of 2,000 eager, loving, and loyal screaming fans. From busking on the streets of downtown Toronto, to co-writing hits for artists such as Dua Lipa and Calvin Harris, to collaborating with Eminem on his most recent Kamikaze LP, the awe-inspiring Jessie Reyez has come a long way. Reyez is a special kind of artist. Not only does she write all of her own songs, but you could feel the emotion and truth in her voice through every beautifully executed note. Whether she’s crooning to ..read more
