Los Angeles, CA – The Attire has released their anticipated debut album, Songs About Girls Like You. The album is a blend of light and funky beats with romantic lyricism. The release comes after significant success from their previous songs “Luxury,” “Something In The Water,” and their viral hit, “Naked,” which garnered 3.3 million views on TikTok. The 10-song collection creates a new mix of beats to emphasize pop and soul and is now available to stream digital music platforms worldwide.

Songs About Girls Like You channels the raw emotions endured in a relationship. “Our album is a compilation of songs threading through the ups & downs of a relationship,” says the duo. “From falling in love to falling apart – it demonstrates the key moments of a relationship from beginning to end.” The album features a variety of collaborators, including Afterhrs (Maroon 5, Niall Horan), who blend the tracks, underlining the overall message. The opening song, “Girls Like You,” was co-written by Loote, whose former projects were with artists such as David Guetta and Demi Lovato, with production by Social House & Anton Goransson, who previously worked with Ariana Grande. Tracks like “Luxury,” “Push It 2 The Limit,” and “Sriracha” incorporate funky beats that get people moving on the dance floor. While most of the album uses energetic and fun beats, the duo slows it down with guitar-focused “Alexa.” The track begins with a slow guitar; the song builds over time, adding a soft beat backing and bringing attention to Shilling’s voice.

The BMG-signed duo consists of childhood friends Greg Shilling (vocals, piano) and Stephen Santa Teresa (drums, guitar). The pair both grew up immersed in music — Shilling picked up the piano at five years old, and Santa Teresa started playing the drums at eight years old. The duo met in 8th grade and have played together as a band since 2006. The two got their start on Youtube in the 2010s as “Greg & Stephen,” before eventually changing their name to The Attire, which they came up with simply after looking at the clothes hanging in their closet. Their music has been praised by American Songwriter, Play Too Much, and CelebMix.

The Attire’s debut album Songs About Girls Like You will have listeners reminiscing about past relationships, but the pop-infused album will surely have fans dancing. The album is available to stream worldwide on digital music platforms. Make sure to follow The Attire’s journey by keeping up with them on Instagram @TheAttireMusic or visit their website TheAttireMusic.com.

Vancouver, BC – Southern rock songstress Syd Carter West has released her newest single, “Venom Hurts.” The song is a distinctive blend of Southern rock, Americana, and blues-rock, clearly showcasing her powerful voice. “Venom Hurts” is an influential track about forgiving yourself and overcoming the obstacles in your life. “Venom Hurts” is now available on digital music platforms worldwide.

Authenticity and empowerment are qualities represented through Syd Carter West’s songwriting. She displays her veracity through her latest single, “Venom Hurts.” The track features classic roadhouse blues tunes, a strong guitar, and raw, passionate vocals. Syd Carter West explains that the heartfelt and deeply personal track is about realizing the pain one is experiencing and overcoming it. “[The song] embodies the emotional pain and personal turmoil I go through on a daily basis, but instead of asking for pity, I’m asking for nothing,” West explained that the song symbolizes forgiveness and growing into one’s self. “Venom Hurts” also advocates for mental health awareness and specifically calls out to anyone who suffers from issues with their mental health and the pain that can come from it. “Mental health doesn’t have to define who we are but rather the obstacles we can face and come back stronger and wiser,” said West.

Syd Carter West has been singing since before she could talk and spent most of her childhood immersed in music. At age 12, she began classical/opera voice training and studied music theory at the Royal Conservatory of Music. Her studies and lessons at the Conservatory taught her how to tell a story to an audience through eye contact and body language, something she still employs in videos and on stage. At age 19, West began to focus more on singing contemporary music and songwriting. She is influenced by Led Zeppelin and Freddie Mercury – both have inspired her writing and performance style. Audiences can see these influences in both her writing and stage presence.

Los Angeles Artist Takes a Road Trip in New Music Video

Los Angeles, CA – Nice Vice just released his debut single, “Bloom.” The single draws inspiration from 90s rock and features melodic guitars, heavy undertones, and honest lyricism. Paired with the single is a music video that guides audiences through the storytelling and range of emotions that influence the track. “Bloom” is now available to download and stream across all platforms.

Seth Horst, who performs under the alias Nice Vice, spent the better part of two years writing and recording a slew of new songs for his forthcoming EP, First Dose. “‘Bloom’ was the first song written in a large batch of songs over the last year and a half. It was never supposed to be on the EP,” explains Horst. “I had honestly forgotten about it. Sometimes you miss the beauty and potential in something at first; fast forward, and it’s the debut single.” The indie-rock single is accompanied by a music video shot by Dirty Shot Clean. The visual showcases four friends as they embark on a road trip in an RV and the adventures that ensue along the way. Horst played and recorded every instrument on the single. “It took me a long time to teach myself how to record all of the instruments and really get the sounds that I was looking for.” He recruited Zak Van Zeumeren to mix “Bloom” and Theodore Papadopoulos to master it.

Nice Vice got started in his hometown of Toronto and is currently located in Los Angeles. Drawing inspiration from artists such as Counting Crows, The Red Hot Chili Peppers, Pearl Jam, and Jack White, Nice Vice has been able to capture and reinvent the sound of 90s rock and melodic acoustics, exemplified in the new single “Bloom.” Horst’s songwriting style is a culmination of these artists, along with his own honest and unique flair. Blending sounds of the new and the old, this first release gives the listener a broad range of what he is capable of. With smooth and surprising transitions from soft to heavy, the powerful voice and captivating lyrics touch on themes of new love, lost love, and introspection.

“Bloom” is now available to stream or download on digital music platforms worldwide. Be on the lookout for Nice Vice’s EP, First Dose, due out in 2022. For more information, visit @NiceViceMusic on Instagram.

Philadelphia, PA –  Singer-songwriter Ryan Tennis has just released his new single, “Oh, Alexandra.” “It’s a tale as old as time, and now it’s my time to tell it,” muses the world-touring musician. The tale is one of unrequited love with a twist, and the lively single, now available to stream on digital platforms worldwide, is an upbeat, heartfelt acoustic track that draws the listener in with its organic groove and conversational storytelling.

Ryan Tennis speaks of an undeniable connection with a close friend who “can’t wait to come over and show him her brand new butterfly tattoo.” He wishes she was more than just a friend, she’s happy with the friendship as it is, and so goes the age-old story…or does it? As Tennis’ warm, inviting voice rolls forward on a beachy acoustic groove infused with Latin rhythms, listeners begin to feel that perhaps there’s more to this one-sided love than just heartbreak. While the song expresses longing – “Why keep me lonely? Why keep me waiting?” – and a little disappointment – “as my mama used to say when I was just a little boy, she’d sing ‘you can’t always get what you want” – the prevailing feeling is one of hope.

As the story evolves, Tennis discovers that the inspiration he feels is not only about the love he has for his friend but about the new places he’s uncovering within himself through that affection – “Then suddenly a rhythm from inside/We played it with a light unbroken. It was shaking loose a joy I couldn’t hide/and pulling vines from trees that once were choking.” As the song cruises its way off into the sunset, listeners get the sense that “the ember underneath still glowing” he describes is the light of self-discovery sparked by this connection, and that perhaps this tale of heartache has a happy ending, even if the hero doesn’t end up getting the girl.

“Oh, Alexandra” captures the live energy of Tennis’ trio, drummer Joseph Keim, and bassist Elliot Garland. It was produced by Ryan Tennis and Pete Donnelly (The Figgs, NRBQ) – who also mixed the song – at Katonah Sound Studios and was mastered by Justin Perkins at Mystery Room Mastering.

When it comes to songwriting and performing, Ryan Tennis admits that he was a late bloomer. He spent a majority of his teenage and college years dedicated to sports, playing as a 1AA All-American defensive lineman at Davidson College in North Carolina. After finishing both his athletic and academic career, Tennis was struck with the realization that music was his true calling in life and began to focus solely on making music and performing. He relocated to Philadelphia and kicked off his music career playing local venues and house shows, spreading his name and talent around the city. After internationally touring, playing hundreds of shows a year, and releasing three previous EP’s and three full-length albums, Ryan Tennis has never been more excited to share his new music and ever-evolving craft with the world.

“Oh, Alexandra” is a preview of Ryan Tennis’ forthcoming album, “Hey, Rollercoaster,” that in his words, “Sounds more like my true artistic voice than anything I’ve ever done.” “Oh, Alexandra” is now available to stream worldwide on digital music platforms.

Los Angeles, CA — Breakthrough pop duo BLVCKBOW has just released their latest single,  “Second Nature.” The duo, composed of two powerhouse women Brittni Paiva and Jasmine Crowe, went back to their native Hawaiian roots for this track.  This love song is an uplifting island groove, a stark contrast from their debut electro-alt pop single, “Memorize U.” “Second Nature ” is now available for streaming on digital music platforms worldwide. 

BLVCKBOW describes the inspiration behind “Second Nature” as “the freeing feeling of being with someone that changes how you feel about yourself, caught off guard when you’re around them in the most positive and comfortable way.” The pair explores a different sound by bending the barriers of the confinements of a set genre. The soothing elements of the track include smooth vocals from Jasmine Crowe and sunny melodious grooves from Brittni Paiva on ukulele and electric guitar. This combination creates a unique and personalized sound that adds components of reggae and island inspiration. “‘Second Nature’ was influenced by our island roots since we are both from Hawaii and we’re brought up and raised around that kind of music and sound,” says the duo. “We’d honestly never written anything with an island reggae vibe before, so we really wanted to explore it genre-wise as it’s something that’s always been inside both of us.” The positive vibes the song emulates were very intentional, as the duo credits reggae music with emitting the “spiritual feeling of universal love,” which was the ultimate goal of “Second Nature.” The track was produced by Brittni Paiva, Jasmine Crowe, and Imua Garza, who also played the keys, strings, and horns on the track. Other notable musicians include Blake Pedrero on bass guitar, Calvin Canha on the drums, and Alexis Tolentino on the steel guitar.

From their mutual hometown of Hilo on the Big Island of Hawaii, Crowe and Paiva followed solo paths.

During this collaboration, they began writing songs together and realized that the creative chemistry between them was undeniable. After this definitive session, Paiva made the move to Los Angeles to join Crowe and continue with the formation and progression of BLVCKBOW. Since that connection was established, BLVCKBOW has been writing and recording their debut album and playing shows at iconic venues such as Whisky A Go Go and The Mint.

SoCal Singer-Songwriter Pens Emotionally Raw Debut Record

Los Angeles, CA – Pop/rock singer-songwriter Zach Churchill has just released his debut album Heartbreak & Hope for the world to hear. The album showcases 11 tracks, featuring his two previous singles, “Bartender” and “Would You Believe Me.” Heartbreak & Hope is an intricate narrative going through the last decade of Churchill’s life, highlighting the trials and tribulations of his twenties. Heartbreak & Hope is now available to stream worldwide on digital music platforms.

The songs on Heartbreak & Hope serve as musical mile markers commemorating a ten-year journey through his twenties — a decade that he barely survived. He touches on the lessons and challenges he faced in songs like “Bartender,” a track that chronicles a harrowing heroin overdose, and “I May Be.” In addition to a multitude of different subjects discussed on Heartbreak & Hope, Churchill incorporates vulnerable vocals and a variety of musical sounds and genres on the album, from acoustic singer-songwriter songs to upbeat pop/rock melodies. He credits his collaborator Julian Coryell for this, who produced the album and co-wrote with Churchill. “Julian was able to take my songs and put them in new outfits, to vary them stylistically and create dynamic contrasts,” Churchill explains. “I can’t say enough about his musicianship and his ability to help me get to the truth of what I wanted to say.” Songs such as “Heartbreak & Hope,” the title track, and “All These Lies” convey the heartbreak that Churchill felt in romantic relationships throughout his twenties, and how he looks back at them now. “I would do things differently. I make mistakes every day, but to go back and correct them would defeat the purpose. I’m grateful for exactly where I am.” The album was recorded at West Triad Studios in Venice, California, and features guest musicians Eva B Ross who contributes backing vocals on “Bartender” and Mark Schulman (Pink, Cher) who drums on “Are We Still Here” and “Heartbreak & Hope.”

California native Zach Churchill conveys vulnerability, emotion, and powerful messages with his thought-provoking songwriting skills. Crediting artists like Radiohead, Elton John, and David Bowie as his biggest inspirations, you can hear the diverse influences of their music and songwriting in Zach Churchill and how he tells his stories. His musical journey began at the age of 13 when he started practicing guitar and began songwriting later into his teenage years. Moving on to study vocal performance and music industry studies, Zach Churchill is a well-seasoned artist who is more than ready to make his powerful debut into the world with Heartbreak & Hope.

Heartbreak & Hope is a defining moment for Zach Churchill. Across this span of songs, his testimony is offered with transcendent sincerity. “The failed relationships, the loss of people, the search for identity,” he concludes. “It’s all real, and it’s my story.” The album is now available to stream worldwide on digital music platforms.
