INDIE/Jan 2020

When all this fades away
Where do we go
Somewhere spiritual
Dimensions and beings
Outer body feelings taking hold
Home is the only motive
How to get back to her
Tectonic shifts
Not enough oxygen
It's hard to breathe in here
There's a hallway and lights and open door
And I hear voices and they call me forward

We’re so close to kamikaze
Let's just kill ourselves
Create mass destruction
To medicated to function

Over the limit
Over
Na Na Na
Over the limit
Over

The transcendental law
The unwritten law
Something spiritual
Connection to beings
Devoid of reason
It’s cosmic
It’s written on the wall
Home is the only motive
How to get back to her
Tectonic shifts
Not enough oxygen
It's hard to breathe in here
And there is a reason that we got this close
Snap back but we still hear ghosts

We’re so close to kamikaze
Let's just kill ourselves
Create mass destruction
To medicated to function

Over the limit
Over
Na Na Na
Over the limit
Over

Needful Things

World Ends Everyone Dies (feat. Paul Leary)

Moving Into Tucson is basically the side effect of the COVID epidemic. Why, you will ask. Well for the simple reason that the band was formed during the pandemic. Can you call Moving Into Tucson a band? Well, yes as in, it's a band, with a singer, guitarist, bassist, drummer etc. But also no because it's not a band as usual. Band members do not come from the same city or even country, but from different parts of the world. When the world was in lock-down and many were forced to stay at home, there wasn't much left for musicians to do other than work from home. But, how? And better, with whom? Like for many, Zoom video brought a solution. Fortunately, we live in an advanced digital world and a lot is possible without necessarily having to be somewhere. Only someone who arranges it. This is where the label TCBYML, the label of the various artists in the band Moving Into Tucson, stepped in.  

Result, twenty songs composed over a period of 18 months. These have now been brought together, mixed, mastered and provided with artwork. In 2023, five of them will be released as singles and together with eight more songs will form the album "Distraction" that will see the light on November 24 of this year. A great initiative that may be followed up in 2024. Who's to say.  

Moving Into Tucson's music is comparable to that of the early 90's. The sound that all who participated could very much agree on. Moving Into Tucson is therefore for fans of: REM, Lemonheads, Sugar, The Posies, Buffalo Tom, Teenage Fanclub and the Counting Crows but also reminiscent to bands as U2 or The Police. Recognizable indie pop rock, sometimes dark, sometimes mysterious, or vague, but with depth in the music and certainly in the lyrics.

Moving Into Tucson - Without A Warning

HALF CAB has its roots in punk and hardcore music. With their new songs the band is ready to engage a wider audience without losing their underground ethos. The result is music that is said to have "the energy of punk and the catchiness of pop". 

HALF CAB coming from The Hague, Netherlands is set to release their new EP in May 2024. Pete Maher, UK’s No1 independent mastering engineer gives the songs the power they deserve. Upfront, three songs from the EP will be released as singles. 

First single Rearview is about looking back on things in life. “It all looks simple in the rearview” is the recurring phrase in the song, and somewhat of a summary idea of the EP. Don't worry too much about the past, but focus on the future, no matter how dark and hopeless it may seem.

Your favorite pup of the new year!

Genre-defying Lush Puppy just might be the next best thing coming from The Netherlands. After their first 4 singles and debut EP in 2019, Lush Puppy is back in 2020 with even more guns blazing on new single Kill For Fun! Vocals and lyrics with the attitude of Beth Ditto meets M.I.A., a prominent rousing synth bass, subtle arpeggios, tribal chants and sturdy lyrics: honey you're fake!

Lush Puppy about Kill For Fun:
"I‘m a cool rich rapper, got my pussies on the side, wear’n my Gucci Gang Prada, see me rollin in my ride, I don’t know what I stand for, I’m always on the run, gettin’ high on power and I kill for fun."

For fans of: Peaches, Fever Ray, Sleigh Bells, The Ting Tings, Beth Ditto

What happens if you put an audiotist and a pie-loving hazard to society together? Well, you get a Lush Puppy. What is Lush Puppy you ask? It's a mix between electronica, kickass beats, punk guitar riffs and a vocalist who raps like a little demon and sings like an angel. Highly contradictory but ain't that when the real flavors come out?
Forget the served on a platter, the manners. Just take it in.

Electronic poppy madness music duo Lush Puppy are vocalist, artist and stylist Roos Ooteman and Gabriel Vezzola a.k.a. DJ Gabriel.
Roos (pronounced: Rose) studied at the Rock Academy Tilburg in The Netherlands and takes inspiration from Bat for Lashes to the Spice Girls.
Italian-born Gabriel is well known in the EDM music scene from DJ duo Gabriel & Castellon, who collaborated with Sam Feldt, Robin S and Todd Terry a.o. Lush Puppy seems far beyond his comfort zone but it's actually where he and Roos both feel they can strut their stuff!

Lush Puppy
A drunkard; A variation on "booze-hound"
She says she doesn't need to drink to have fun, but we all know she's a real lush puppy.

Pre-save 'Golden Cage' EP - https://fanlink.to/GoldenCageEP 

Following hot on the heels of his acclaimed 2nd album 'Solar Nights' German producer Tim Bernhardt, AKA Satin Jackets, returns to bring some much needed warmth to the winter with the release of the 'Golden Cage' EP. Featuring three brand new instrumental tracks, the 'Golden Cage' EP sees Bernhardt venture into more introspective territory, eschewing the more upfront pop direction of recent collaboration with Panama, 'Electric Blue', for something softer and more intimate. 

'Meridian Gateway' delivers the kind of optimistic yet wistful melodies that Bernhardt has time and time again shown himself to be a master of. Built around a series of poignant piano notes the track gently unfolds and reveals itself, shimmering like the first frost of the year catching the morning's rays.

Whilst 'Solar Nights' showcased Bernhardt's skill at crafting thoughtful left field pop music and coaxing the best out of lyricists and singers alike, the 'Golden Cage' EP reveals he's still a dab hand when it comes to crafting dreamlike nu-disco, as warming as a mug of glühwein in midwinter.
