Music Video: Erin Costelo Gets Married – Immediately Films ‘My Love’

Erin Costelo really committed to the role in her new music video for “My Love,” along with Clive MacNutt, her partner and bandmate of ten years.

Music Video: Rachel Beck Plays Off Of Adyn Townes With ‘Tonight’

“Tonight,” the new single from Rachel Beck’s upcoming album, Stronger Than You Know, is more than just a love song about “surrendering to the moment and embracing unexpected love.” Arguably, it is exponentially more, or at least greater than the sum of its parts. The song plays off of real-life story of Adyn Townes’ grandparents featured in his song “Churchill” in a what-if scenario.

Single: Kurtis Eugene Returns With an Esoteric Double Release of ‘Global Wire/Icy Water’

In light of such, and arguable in the best of times, such brazen gestures are entirely unnecessary.

Single: Nick Earle And His New Band, The Reckless Hearts, Release ‘I Wanna Know’ – Announce Upcoming Album

Nick Earle is trading in his blues rock for something just a touch grittier with his newfound band, The Reckless Hearts. Their first single together, “I Wanna Know,” probably isn’t the Valentine’s Day anthem of romance you were expecting, but a tale of jealousy delivered on overdriven guitars and a wash of cymbals.
