BANDS YOU SHOULD KNOW: Basic Vacation
"I Believe"
ARTISTS YOU SHOULD KNOW: Gabrielle Aplin
We can't wait til you hear this song, good lookin'! Mindy White released her unique cover of Justin Timberlake’s Suit & Tie back in Spring of 2013, but we are still blown away by her rendition. Mindy is a former member of Lydia, and she is now the lead vocalist of her band, States. Check out her cover along with States’ new album Paradigm.
Artist Spotlight: EverSay
You want another female vocalist in a rock band? You got it. We recently chatted with leading lady Blake Dawson of the band EverSay. She shows her dynamic range in their hit single “This Time”, and is truly someone to watch. Here’s what she had to say!
Give us a rundown about EverSay:
Drinking from the same well as some of Rock's most legendary bands, EverSay calls Middleburg, FL home. With powerhouse vocals, chugging guitars, and intense drumming, they're in the business of rock and roll. Their self-titled EP is fresh off the press, available on iTunes and Spotify. EverSay spent this past year touring the United States, introducing their unique sound from East to West coast, including Hawaii. EverSay is fronted by dynamic, female vocalist, Blake Dawson and produced by Ronnie Winter from The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus.
What do you have planned for the future? Any new releases? Shows? Tours?
We just finished a full year of touring the entire United States. We also filmed our official music video for our single "This Time", this past year in New York City. The more known places we've toured include Nashville, TN, Las Vegas, New York City, Los Angeles, Honolulu, HI, and many more. We are taking the first part of 2014 to finish writing and recording our full length album. And, of course we plan to tour that album soon after releasing it.
Where can you be found?
EverSay can be found on iTunes, Facebook, Spotify, YouTube, Instagram, and Twitter. We are also on PureVolume.com. Check us out!
Is there anything about your band that you want your fans to know?
If there is anything that we want our fans to know, it is that we love them oh so very much and that we wouldn't be able to do what we do without them. Our goal is to connect and relate with as many people as we can, to empower them with inspiration from our lyrics, stories of our own, and to touch as many hearts as we can with our music. Fans have come up to us after shows and have emailed us telling us how our music has helped strengthen them and helped them through tough times. That is the ultimate reward. That is one of the reasons why we make music.
Tom Odell (who could possibly pass as a Hanson brother) did an amazing rendition of Katy Perry’s single ‘Roar’. His cover is perfection as he adds some much needed soul & good vibes to the track. Tom also released an album entitled Long Way Down. We highly recommend taking a listen.
AFI released their most recent album, Burials, this past summer and their first video from this album was "I Hope You Suffer’" AFI’s pop-meets-goth-meets-new wave sound is in full power on Burials. They have reinvented themselves with this new album and fans are still raving about how incredible it is! This was their first album in almost over four years, which is filled with fast paced, quick and vibrant energy compared to other, latter-era AFI albums. The entire band played to their best work throughout Burials, but also tried some new things which resulted in positive feedback. Listen and watch "I Hope You Suffer" and get a feel of AFI’s new sound!
This past May, Nylo released her music video for 'Fool Me Once', which is also featured on her new mixtape Indigo Summer. Chicago born and raised, she is now residing in Los Angeles and working on her upcoming mixtape, Indigo Rose. You don’t want to miss out on Nylo, she’s got dope artists like Nas praising her and even hosting the launch of her mixtape! Look out for her music on soundcloud, and expect to hear about her very soon. Nylo’s got incredible talent and she may very well be the next big thing.
Justin Bieber is making a comeback by releasing a new single every Monday in December. His new album Journals and movie Believe was released on Christmas Day. His first music video out of all his recent singles is ‘All That Matters' featuring the stunning model, Caitlin Russo. Bieber has a new approach in his recent work, his sound and lyrics have matured in a way that was almost unexpected. He’s got the ladies swooning all over again, but this time he’s reached and pinpointed to a much more mature, older audience. See what Justin has transformed to and hype his recent music video!
