Los Angeles, CA — The supremely talented Wild the Coyote has now released his newest single, “Silver Round Bullet.” The song is the first from his upcoming EP, 7 Roses. Following his previous releases, this track continues with Coyote’s unique, gritty style and delivers an electrifying listening experience. “Silver Round Bullet” is available now to stream or download on all platforms.

“Silver Round Bullet” is a fantastic reflection of Wild the Coyote’s riveting, original sound. With grungy guitar and vocals melded with rumbling percussion, this track successfully captures the outlaw country style his music listeners have come to expect. Combining iconic aspects of blues, country, and rock, Coyote skillfully makes listeners feel as though they have been teleported to the old west. Produced by Joseph Holiday, the song has a powerful and catchy melody that gives clear insight into why some have drawn comparisons between Wild the Coyote and the great Johnny Cash. With an edgier tone than most modern country music, “Silver Round Bullet” conveys Coyote’s difficulties growing up in Templeton, CA and the struggles he faces even now in Los Angeles. “‘Silver Round Bullet’ was written in the woods of the quiet town I grew up in, about the struggles that come with chasing a dream in LA and the daunting question of how long you can survive doing it. Only to be reminded that there could be more to risk than to reap turning around on the road less traveled,” says Coyote. The blend of his bluesy voice with heavy percussion and a rugged electric guitar melody conveys a raw, rocky vibe that characterizes the song.

From growing up in a small farm town on California’s central coast to exploring big-city living in Los Angeles, Wild the Coyote would try and find his way in the music industry by forming the punk-rock band Gunpowder Secrets upon moving to Hollywood. In 2013, Coyote stepped away from the band to pursue a more personal endeavor and found his new sound and voice as a modern outlaw-country artist. Continuing to pursue his passion for music, he went on to become Wild the Coyote, where he has flourished as both guitarist and singer. Tapping into his small-town roots, rough punk style, and replacing live drums with electronic beats, he was able to discover exactly how he wanted to create, write and deliver his fresh take on traditional music. Coyote has already developed a distinct sound and garnered success, such as being featured in Paramount Pictures’ hit series, Yellowstone, and receiving praise in Rolling Stone. Wild the Coyote has performed all over North America, from the Harley Davidson Museum in Milwaukee to the SlumFest music festival in Nashville. Most recently, he was the opening act for Interscope Records recording artist Yelawolf on his North American GhettoCowboy Tour.

“Silver Round Bullet” is available on all digital music platforms now. To learn more about Wild the Coyote or to follow his musical journey, visit him at WildTheCoyote.com or on Instagram @WildtheCoyote.

Indie Pop Artist Celebrates Authenticity and Acceptance with Latest Track

Los Angeles, CA — Fast-rising indie-pop artist Dawson Fuss has released his most poignant single to date, “Free.” The picturesque pop track showcases his uncanny ability to turn his vulnerability into one of his greatest strengths. “It’s a song about longing to be your 100% true and authentic self and the complete joy when that wish comes to fruition,” Dawson explains. “Free” is now available to stream and download worldwide.

With “Free,” Dawson Fuss accomplishes one of the most difficult tasks a songwriter has: Tell one’s own story while providing a cathartic experience for listeners that inspires and captivates them. Through vivid storytelling and impassioned lyrics paired with an intoxicating pop melody, the track celebrates tackling one of life’s more arduous challenges–being honest with yourself about who you are and what you want. For Dawson, that meant accepting and embracing his own identity in spite of the internal and external forces that would coax one into doing the opposite. “Coming out was something I had always tried to avoid because I didn’t want to come to terms with being gay. I convinced myself that my sexuality was a burden to myself and others. However, after I finally realized that coming out was something to take total pride in, I was able to let go and feel truly ‘Free,’” he describes. In the short time that Dawson has been releasing music, he’s already enraptured audiences and garnered praise from a number of publications including The Santa Barbara Independent, Atwood Magazine, Indiewavves, Pop Wrapped, and more. The Santa Barbara Independent beamed that “​​he carries himself as if he were in his twenties, and he has the work ethic and introspection to show for it.” This latest offering further cements the compelling themes throughout his upcoming EP, Edge of Adolescence. Seamlessly tying the record together is a profound story of maturation and self-acceptance that connects with his audience long after the final song has reached its end.

Growing up in Santa Barbara, Dawson Fuss began starring in local musical productions and other theatre programs at the early age of five. This inspired him to pursue a music career where he could transform emotions into lyrics through the art of songwriting. Since then, his passion for music has only continued to grow, performing at his school in two choirs and most recently placing in the top-three local competition Teen Star Santa Barbara, which American Idol’s Randy Jackson judged. When Dawson isn’t creating music, he’s exploring other art mediums that he’s passionate about, including photography and cinematography.

“Free” is now available to stream and download on digital music platforms worldwide. Keep an eye out for Dawson Fuss’ upcoming EP, Edge of Adolescence, dropping later this year, and follow along with his remarkable journey on Instagram @DawsonFuss.

Nashville, TN – Nashville-based indie-pop artist, Brandon Calano, who performs under the alias Becoming Young, returns to the spotlight following his recent EP, Letting Go. Calano’s latest single, “Wild & Free” is a declaration of freedom from the demons of our past. The pop anthem is now available for download and streaming on digital music platforms worldwide.

Reinstating himself with newfound courage, Becoming Young uses energizing low-fi synthesizers and a moving percussive part on “Wild & Free” to re-energize himself and liberate fans. Calano effectively builds energy during the song, transitioning the instrumental from more acoustic, guitar-driven verses to exhilarating electro choruses with an irresistible falsetto hook.

“‘Wild & Free’ is about rediscovering your power and finding freedom in knowing you can overcome anything,” he explains. “Yeah, it sounds trite, but we’ve all had our tribulations. It’s easy to get caught up in them, and we often let missteps and struggles weigh us down.” The universal message of this song makes it a must-listen. The inspiration for the single came when Calano was going through a rough patch and his sister suggested, “Write yourself the song that you need to hear at this moment. Take care of yourself with your music.” From there, “Wild & Free” was born. Not only is the arrangement irresistible, but everyone can relate to the inner rebel in them that wants to escape the past.

The single was co-produced and mixed by Calano and Marcus Meston, a Nashville producer with credits in HBO’s Euphoria and Fake Famous as well as countless brand commercials for Nike, Peloton, Under Armour, Louis Vuitton, and XBOX. “Wild & Free” was mastered by Ted Jensen at Sterling Sound.

Brandon Calano writes and performs under the pseudonym Becoming Young. A name he says represents the journey to let go of everything we are not, so we can become who we were meant to be all along. Calano started music as a kid when his favorite band, Green Day, inspired him to learn guitar. He began songwriting at 11 as a form of storytelling, where he could express his emotions without boundary or filter. Becoming Young is about reclaiming your power, finding strength, and being bold.

The indie-pop artist has been compared to the likes of The 1975, FINNEAS, and Lauv. Calano has been praised by Yahoo!, Celeb Mix and Forbes who called him an artist “brimming with intrigue, angst, and heartbreak.” In the last year, he has released over 20 songs, generated over 7 million streams, and has been added to countless playlists.

“Wild & Free is an acknowledgment that we are collectively coming back stronger—no matter what happened in the past, we are resilient. We can break free from the darkness.” Download or stream “Wild & Free” on all music platforms. Follow Becoming Young’s musical journey on socials @becomingyoung or visit becomingyoung.band.

Venice Beach, CA –– Little Galaxies has released their vibrant new album One with the Waking Sea, available to stream and download everywhere now. With unique instrument manipulation, emotive themes, and graceful lyricism, One with the Waking Sea is sure to entice any individual or crowd. The 10-song LP is being released on Coconut Spaceship Records.

Little Galaxies describes One with the Waking Sea as being inspired by “the turbulence of life,” just as the ocean is constantly moving and changing. “The album explores central themes like accepting fate, getting closer to what brings us joy, and learning how to co-exist in an ever-changing world that can throw us into the trenches at any moment,” explains lead singer Jeanna Fournier when describing how she translated her trauma to song.

The opening track, “Find Yourself in Orbit,” welcomes the sound of an ocean with crashing waves overcome by an ominous drone of a theremin, as if it is disrupting the calm ambiance. This sets up the overall tone for the entire album. The next track, “Waking Sea,” carries themes of both balance and uncertainty, inspired by the PTSD Fournier has experienced after a life-altering car wreck and her journey to acceptance. Adding to the intimate emotion in the song, Ken Oak brings on comforting cello alongside Phoebe Silva on the violin. These delicate and soulful instruments add to the deep-seated listening experience. Other songs to note are “Fate” and “It’s Natural,” which both carry motifs of accepting destiny and change. The listener is drawn in to appreciate the more profound meaning Little Galaxies conveys with Fournier’s powerful, soulful vocals accompanying mesmerizing instrumentation.

One with the Waking Sea was produced and recorded by Sejo Navajas at 4th Street Recording Studio in Santa Monica, mixed by Andreas Sandnes, and mastered by Evren Goknar at Capitol Studios. Fournier and Eshraghi also co-produced the record. The band used a wide array of effects pedals to make their stringed instruments sound like an electronic synth on some tracks. “No software samples or keyboards were used for any textures or parts,” notes co-producer and guitarist Amir Eshraghi. “If something sounds like a keyboard or bass synth, it’s actually a guitar or bass played through effect pedals in the studio, but some listeners are convinced they’re hearing electronic elements, which is actually a compliment.” This technique tricks the listener into having an immersive electronic music listening experience, but when they catch on to the origin of mostly analog instrumentation, a new organic and down-to-earth sound can be appreciated. This, coupled with the seamless blend of Fournier’s vocals, allows genuine appreciation for the technique and musical styling put into the album.

The ocean theme of this album can be attributed to the band’s origins in Venice Beach, California, where Fournier and Eshraghi co-founded the band in 2013, with bassist Andreas Sandnes and drummer Lucas Crouch joining in recent years. Since their formation, Little Galaxies has released an album titled Patterns, a handful of singles, and have toured up and down the West Coast performing at festivals. Their persistence and success have landed them several features in notable publications such as Earmilk, Buzzbands LA, OC Weekly, Music Connection Magazine, Bay Bridged, and The Deli Magazine. The group has also received a lot of SoCal radio support. DJ Jose Galvan has been spinning “Out in Control” on KCRW and “Waking Sea” on Amazing Radio. “Waking Sea” is also in rotation on several shows at LA’s KCSN 88.5FM and it was selected by world-renowned DJ and tastemaker Nic Harcourt as his “Fresh Squeezed Track of the Day” in July. The single was featured by Byron Gonzalez on Latin Alt Radio, and the Witching Hours on KXLU 89.9FM.

Little Galaxies’ poignant collection of songs, One with the Waking Sea, is available now to download or stream on all digital music platforms. Follow their Instagram @LittleGalaxies or visit LittleGalaxiesBand.com.

Los Angeles, CA — Rising pop artist Nadia Vaeh just released her newest single, “Leap of Faith.” The title is appropriately inspired by the chances and sacrifices a rising artist is willing to make to achieve their dreams. “Leap of Faith” is now available for streaming and download on music platforms worldwide.

“I wrote ‘Leap of Faith,’ reflecting back on the times I’ve been happiest in my life,” Nadia Vaeh explains. The sampling of her witty commentary and the rev of her Corolla adds to the feel-good listening experience. The sculptural makeup of the song encapsulates the listener who is brought in by the autonomous guitar behind her vocals which lead to an exploding chorus, delivered in a true nostalgic, feel-good pop fashion. At first listen, “Leap of Faith,” seems like the ultimate carefree anthem, however, the inspiration and true meaning to the single digs much deeper. Vaeh wrote the song as no stranger to hardship, which can be discovered when she describes her experience with having next to nothing, but she still pursued her dreams. “I lived in my car to save money for my dreams and it was some of the best times in my life; couch hopping at friend’s places and just being a vagabond,” Vaeh explains. “Sometimes comfort is just a trap in disguise that is truly holding us back from reaching our highest potential,” she explains when describing what it was like to be without the everyday luxuries she had become so accustomed to. Despite these privations, “Leap of Faith,” was inspired by this strenuous time in her life, when she was ironically incredibly happy. The early 2000’s pop-sounding track was produced by Dion Shaw and Tyler Spratt. Vaeh’s longtime collaborator, Spratt also mixed and mastered the song.

Nadia Vaeh is known for being a conscious pop artist, aligning all of her releases with a like-minded charity. With “Leap of Faith,” she will be donating a portion of the revenue to Help Musicians. This UK- based organization has spent almost a century assisting musicians, helping them break through to their goals in the music industry and providing them with crucial mental health support. “Music creators are unfortunately so poorly compensated,” explains Vaeh. “Organizations like Help Musicians really give indie artists a fighting chance and the support that’s desperately needed.” Her journey is inspiring and has led her to advocate for people all over the world using her music. Her songs have been played on US and international radio and have received praise from Wonderland Magazine, Pop Wrapped, Music Connection Magazine, Dark Beauty Magazine, AudioFemme, The Atlanta Journal-Constitution, and more.

Thanks to “Leap of Faith,” a good cause is being supported and a highly danceable end-of-summer track is just waiting to be blasted through anyone’s speakers. This galvanizing pop tune is available now on all digital music platforms. A music video will soon follow. To stay up to date with this rising pop star, visit NadiaVaeh.com or follow her on socials @NadiaVaeh.

Toronto, Ontario – Emerging alt-pop artist Allegra Jordyn has just released her newest single, “Talk of the Town,” which will be followed by a music video on August 25th. The Toronto native sings about feeling unimportant and of being neglected by someone. “I wrote it about somebody who was garnering so much attention from everybody around them, and I started to feel like my attention wouldn’t make any difference in their life if they had so much of it already,” states Jordyn. “Talk of the Town ” is now available to stream and download worldwide.

The relatable lyrics paired with ghostly echoes set the stage for an emotional and raw, yet danceable track. The constant hunt for someone’s attention can be tiring, especially when it’s not valued or appreciated, which is what Allegra Jordyn preaches in the song. From the pop harmonies to the firm and declaring lyrics, “Talk of the Town” is a track anyone can listen to while vibing alone or with those who share the same feeling. “I held onto the song for years until I found someone who shared my vision for it. The way it is now is exactly how I heard it, but I had no way of explaining it to somebody else,” she explains. Produced and mixed by Chris Grey and mastered by Reuben Ghose, Allegra Jordyn’s ethereal and airy vocals stand out between the alt-pop beats and the track’s haunting yet industrial sound.

Allegra Jordyn’s modern electro, alt-pop style stems from listening to artists like Lana Del Rey, Billie Eilish, and BANKS, combined with her profound respect for notable songwriters like Stevie Nicks, Bob Dylan, and John Lennon. Going from writing short stories and scripts and then into poetry, she imagines, polishes, and revises her words until she has accurately crafted a song from start to finish. “I probably write my lyrics out 100 times before I record them,” Jordyn jokes. Moving from Toronto to Boston, where she studied at Berklee College of Music, she has only grown as an artist and mastered her craft.

“Talk of the Town” is ultimately an anthem for the givers out there to feel less alone and also learn when to set boundaries and say, “enough.” The single is now on digital music platforms worldwide.
