The hustle and bustle of this opening …

Pop music has been a boring follow for a lot of us in the last couple of years, but outside of the mainstream, the underground has been producing some really rousing content courtesy of artists like Matthew John, whose new record The Best of Matthew John is hitting record stores …

“Beaming Right Up,” the debut music video from Makes My Blood Dance, mixes old Hollywood class, dirty hard rock grit, erratic grooves that swing harder than most and some simple, band-centric shots that don’t waste our time with a lot of needless frills but manage to leave us on the …
