Bright Number From Ryan Laetari

As I’ve said previously, one of my few joys in this whole stay at home thing has been the wealth of new music coming out with musicians occupying their time at home. One such bit of new music is from Wichita based artist Ryan Laetari and his new single called “I Don’t Need You”. Within the song you’ll find some nice driving bass sounds mixed in nicely with a bright synth and gently plucked electronic guitar. I think you’ll find lots to enjoy here.

The Appleseed Cast Return!

As many of you know, The Appleseed Cast is one of my all time favorite bands. If you asked me to make a list of my top 10, or even top 5 bands that have impacted me heavily over the years, the Lawrence based legends would certainly be on that list. With that out of the way, I’m incredibly excited to share with you today the band’s first single in five years called “Time the Destroyer.” Fan of the band or not, anyone with some taste will immediately praise the beautiful progression of this song from the slow 2.5 minute build up to the extreme break down and back again. Band leader Chris Crisci has continually found ways to add new elements to his ever-progressing sound, and this track, with some loud, electronic synths is more evidence that he will continue to evolve. Epic.

UPDATE: It’s worth noting that Crisci enlisted friends Sean Bergman, Ben Kimball, and Nick Fredrickson for help on the new album.

The Appleseed Cast will release new album The Fleeting Light of Impermanence on June 28th via Graveface Records.

Let’s Rock With Psychic Heat

unnamedAs we power through the middle of another boring week, let’s introduce some rock into all of our lives with this new single from Lawrence based Psychic Heat. Their new single is called “In Two” and is intended to be played at a volume level of 11. It drives you, it hits you, and it begs you to let go and enjoy. Nice effort gentlemen.

Debut albumSunshower will hit stores on May 27th via High Dive Records.
