Introducing the latest and perhaps greatest project yet from lifelong songwriter John Consalvo. Voyage on Soulmate Seas is a finely-crafted conceptual album – a story told by way of a series of purposeful songs, beginning with the cinematic spoken segment of Passing The Torch.
Americana
Armed with what could well be his most established and impressive, heartlet yet pristine album yet – John Consalvo kindly stopped by to talk all things Voyage On Soulmate Seas.
The 2025 album is a stunning project, conceptually rooted in a clear sense of story and intention, and loaded with musical ability and moving peaks both acoustic and of a full-band weight and warmth.
Intriguing and heartbroken lyrics open the doorway to contemplation, and the music, whilst seemingly bright and optimistic, creatively counters the ache and longing at the heart of the writing.
Catchy folk-pop with a country rock edge and groove – Sam Key achieves a fine balance between optimism and self-reflection, with the easy-going to anthemic, all-together-now warmth of Just a Nobody.
Better Walk, Don’t Run is a dose of joyful gratitude in a divisive world, an ode to treasuring the moments that matter, taking things slow, and it celebrates and imparts this energy and optimism in both the musical and performative build up, and the inherent lyrical images and ideas.
Introducing a deserving creative duo, an acoustic to full-rock ensemble undeniably guided by intention and feeling above all else. Crown Mountain drive with talent and passion at the forefront, and despite the versatility of their catalogue, that quality rings loud every step of the way.
Standing tall on the back of a brand new album, a two-track single release, and another upcoming album, DownTown Mystic continue to provide a solid example of the importance and value of uniting creativity, passion, and work ethic, in order to build a strong and growing audience.
Beginning with acoustic fingerstyle but ultimately featuring a full-band set-up, One More Chance welcomes Robert Allen on vocals, guitars and percussions, Bruce Engler on lead guitar, P.J. Farley on bass, and Tommy Mastro on drums.
Inspired by the allure and adventure of the Wild West, unique creative project El Mystery Kren recently launched their iconic new album of originals The Last Train To Durango.
From folk pop softness to Johnny Cash confidence and grit, the style of Allan J rings loud as consistently unique for this release. The set-up and production, the lyrics and melodic meandering, the voice itself, all leans in the direction of something both original and inspiring, and fittingly, that’s also the essence of the song itself.
Beautifully captured for that reverb-kissed ethereal chamber of contemplation, There Is A Sound pours through like a nostalgic feeling of depth and wonder. The song achieves a sense of intimacy and vastness all at once, utilising contrast beautifully from these lower-toned verses to the impassioned and higher-pitched hook.
Melodic to gritty indie rock with a mild essence of punk to the vocal stylings – Chris Thomas & The Merrymakers bring strong riffs and vocal unity to the forefront of the indie space, with FromTheTop 2.0.
