We’re bringing the BuzzMusic community our favorite alternative rock band of the week: Microcosms. They’e grungy, hard-hitting on the guitar and vocals, and will ultimately impress you with their oscillating tempos. We’re stoked to be introducing Microcosms to our BuzzMusic readers, especially the ones who are hard into the rock scene. Microcosmsare thankfully spreading their talent with upcoming shows, and you guys can already bet you’ll want to experience this band live. I can’t say I’ve attended any alternative rock band concert where the performance wasn’t completely electrifying—I have pretty high hopes for Microcosms, and I have a gut feeling they won’t be letting me down. Their sound steps out of our comfort zones, and compels the listener to truly feel invigorated. The hard-hitting guitar riffs are the first element to “Forget Us” that will catch your attention for sure. The grungy feel Microcosms give with their aura in this new release is phenomenal—they’re contributing to the alternative rock scene in the most fitting way. Personally, I’m a huge fan of the alternative rock scene, and I can tell you that Microcosms is doing everything right with the way they curate their unique twist to rock. I hear elements from varying artists—predominantly Arctic Monkey’s meet a more fast-paced version of The Cure. Alternative rock bands can give you plenty of emotion, and the best kind of emotion that I like to feel from rock bands is raw authenticity. This goes for any kind of music in my opinion, but actually being able to hear the authenticity flow out of the artist/band is the most important element—an element that is difficult to even attempt to fabricate.Microcosms pours out their authenticity in “Forget Us”, with a pulsing sound that was engrained in my head for the rest of the day after listening. Feel free to give “Forget Us” a listen in order to really feel what it is I’m talking about. Check out “Forget Us” here, and don’t forget to scroll below for Microcosms interview! Hey Microcosms! Can each of you introduce yourselves to our readers? Hiya this is Andrew Tschiltsch (guitar/vocals) - filling out the band we've got Bryan Emer (bass) and Jered Piepenbrink (drums). We make alternative rock to question your beliefs to, most influenced by bands like Arctic Monkeys, The Strokes, Cage the Elephant, and Wolf Alice. We love the kind of sound you’re contributing to the alternative rock scene. We see you have a couple of concerts coming up, most recent one in Chicago! Are you pumped to be playing for your fans? What’s the atmosphere like at your shows? We strive to make each of our live shows a unique experience with our sweet light machine and by always switching up the setlist while throwing in a fun cover or two. Right now we're still playing to a lot of our friends and it's been great to see them bring people along who rock with us. At this level we're usually expected to find other bands to share the bill with us, and that's been a great way to meet other artists in the area and support the community. I'm a big fan of multi-genre shows, and there's so much awesome music coming out of Chicago that you can catch anything from rock to rap to synth-pop at our shows. “Forget Us” was hard-hitting and unforgettable. We’re huge fans of the rock music scene. What’s the most important element to the band that needs to be integrated within your sound? Thanks we're really proud of Forget Us - that song exemplifies a lot of our sound from the addicting guitar hook to the thunderous rhythm work to the worldly-conscious lyricism. What’s it like being in a band? Do you all find the creation process to be challenging at times having to work with others? I'm loving it! I started making the original demos for this band when I was working an office job out of college. I had never been in a band before or thought of myself as much of an artist, but I always loved music and the songs were a fun way to express my thoughts and feelings as I was learning how to play guitar. I quit my job to dedicate myself to the band and it's been amazing to hear these songs come to life when I'm surrounded by these guys. Bryan and Jered have a great feel for music, and we all have pretty different influences which helps make our sound unique. So we know that the band has a few concerts coming up—other than the live shows, can we expect to see any new releases from Microcosms in the near future? Yep we just hit the studio last week to record a couple more songs that we'll release before the end of 2019. Keep up with us on Spotify, Instagram, Facebook, or the mailing list on our website.

Another talented artist from Ontario, Canada (we’re loving the amount of talent we’ve been getting from Canada lately). Richey Springs is the next rap artist we MUST introduce to our BuzzMusic readers. Richey is a multi-faceted artist. Plain and simple. His music is derived from so many various genres, the elements beautifully combined into tracks worth some serious recognition. Although new to the music industry, Richey Springs is anything but inexperienced. And truly, some artists can be inexperienced in the music industry, and yet it is as if music is meant for them—art is meant for them, and completely true of Richey Springs. We’re loving the new music on Richey’s part, and we’re more than excited to introduce his latest projects to you guys. Alright, we have to say that the vibe from “She Can Save Me” right from the start is insane. The production of this track is stellar—the curation and manifestation of the synths and beats are extraordinary. When Richey Springs begins to rap, we’re begin to feel heavy elements from Tyler the Creator’s original work. The sound is eerily identical, and we’re seeing the huge spin Richey Springs is adding to the alternative rap scene. The vibrato in Richey’s voice reaches a stimulating level, and it integrates into the underlying beat in the best off-putting way possible. You’ll have to listen to “She Can Save Me” in order to understand what we really mean with that one. The flow of this track is incredibly steady and smooth throughout—we’re feeling buzzed with “She can Save Me”, which isn’t a feeling we get often with rap tracks. We appreciate the vibe Richey Springs is trying to bring back with his latest track, and we’re all for it. We love the kind of rap that can make you feel electric, yet relaxed when listening. A feeling hard to describe, and better yet felt. Listen to “She Can Save Me” here and continue reading to get to know Richey Springs Hey Richey! Tell our readers about what made you take music seriously as a profession? I was at a party free-styling as a joke and my friend really enjoyed it. I wanted to be a comedian originally, but after that night I decided to make music because thats much cooler. I feel like it's also more difficult to start out as a comedian. Lots of open mics and bad nights. I'd rather take time to craft and write a good song and hide behind excellent production and mixing. We’re loving the twist you put on the alternative rap scene, similar to how Tyler the Creator managed to do. Do you believe you offer a unique twist on the rap music scene? I like to believe that it's a unique sound. I feel like it's best to be yourself and hope you create something new. I try to listen to all other music so that i'm influenced by other genres. I find that if you listen to too much rap, you start to rap like the artist you're listening to. How do you feel your music is interpreted by your listeners? Do you feel that your vision is communicated clear throughout your music? I think everyone can take something different when they listen to my music. I like that it's a bit ambiguous. You want 10 different people to have 10 different takes on what your song means. I want people to take the song and come up with their own conclusions. I feel like i'm communicating the message really clearly to the point that if it were any clearer it would be corny. I don't want to be corny. Can you tell us more about the meaning of your “She Can Save Me”? She Can Save Me is about how men tend to treat strippers and adult entertainers. They assume that those in that profession do not enjoy their jobs, yet those same people will go to the strip club and have fun.  I think the song is about how that's messed up. It's about how not all strippers need to be saved and that there's power in being an adult entertainer. It's also about the economy, I guess. We have to say, we’re loving your latest track “She Can Save Me”, and we’ve been playing it on repeat for the late afternoon. Are you planning on releasing more tracks similar to “She Can Save Me" through the rest of 2019? Thank you for the feedback! I'm planning on releasing more and more fun tunes for the singles. This album has a very dark track that I plan on putting as the last track. My last album "Blank Years" was about how I was just going on dates and hooking up a lot. I want this album to be about the beginning of love or the beginning of stability. It's about dating in this weird time and practical steps people take when starting a new relationship. I want this album to be about seeing people as more. Connect with Richey Springs on social media www.instagram.com/richeysprings

At only 19 years old, the undeniably talented Jimmi Herbert has earned his confident attitude. His fusion of underground hip-hop, bombastic 80’s pop music creates a mindblowing contemporary sound. Writing, engineering, performing and producing is done solely by Jimmi out of his bedroom. Self-man entertainer Jimmi Herbert is an artist to stay on the lookout for! Featured on Jimmi Herbert’s 4 track EP “The Violet Collection” is the sultry single “1955”. Melancholic, echoing and alluring vocals flood the speakers on top of groundbreaking and genre bending musical arrangements. Like an 80's pop slow jam, “1955” takes the listener on an emotive journey. Jimmi’s more passionate listeners can recognize the sultry jazz undertones, the romance of the 1950s and a confident yet successful implementation of the psychedelic, stoner textures reminiscent of Pink Floyd’s best years throughout. “1955” allow the listener to escape into sounds from their past. The track features recognizable sounds from retro video games. The catchy melody of the track actually reminds me of an addicting ringtone I had on my first flip phone. Jimmi Herbert states that the beauty of his music is its ability to be interpreted differently depending on how the listener sees fit. We can’t wait to see what brilliance Jimmi graces us with next time around! Check out “1955” here and read more below in our exclusive interview! Welcome to BuzzMusic Jimmi Herbert! How did you get started in the music industry? Hey, thanks so much for the opportunity! My pursuit of music was an inevitable side-effect of my personality. I really notice the beauty and complexity in the world and definitely consider art as a form of abstraction of those sentiments... I didn’t think like that when I was 6 however, which is when I started playing classical guitar, followed by piano and eventually full time studies in music between 16 and 18. That’s when I discovered my love for production. Asides from music I was always very inspired by literacy and by putting both forms of expression together I became a songwriter. I began to feel so tied down to a single instrument and my muscle memory in accordance to it, a blank logic file on my Mac could turn into anything though. It really helps me to channel my more complicated/ creative thoughts. Is everything you do self-taught? No not really, but kinda. I don’t quite believe in the education of art because an educational system requires regulation and boundaries. However, I did go to art school, it keeps you in a musical environment on a daily basis which is helpful. I would say that I’ve been tutored from a technical standpoint (excluding my singing) but creatively I’ve simply been inspired from where I’ve studied, it’s impossible to teach, hence why the arts are the only things safe from A.I lol. What was the writing process like for “1955”? What’s the meaning behind the lyrics? 1955 was for my girlfriend, being a songwriter, the first few months we spent together was rich with questions like ‘when are you gonna write about me’ ‘was this about me’ etc haha. Whenever I write something new, which is everyday, I text her a bounce. On this particular day (about a year ago) she really loved the melody I sent her, which is the opening riff, essentially. So, I dedicated the rest of the track to her conceptually... hence the first line ‘of course it’s taken me a while’ lol. Yeah it’s just a massive love song really, the second verse diverges a little bit. I think I mention jungian theory at the end, so I probably end up getting a bit ahead of myself as per. What inspires you to create music everyday? Again, it’s a consequence of my personality. I’m quite an introverted guy and I’m pretty conscientious, so I don’t really talk to people and I’m always working, but I’m clearly very high in openness and so interested in everything. I don’t have many friends so I don’t get asked many questions about my life, you know? So when I do I can’t help but talk over-analytically and bombastically. So doing interviews, being on stage, putting out records really gives me a lot of freedom for creative expression, (which is why I value honesty, integrity, anti-censorship so much in my music) if I needed to be inspired then I’d get taken out because I wouldn’t be working as proficiently as I do. It’s a psychological/ biological necessity that I create music everyday. What’s next for you Jimmi? I’m putting out my debut single in August (I hope) and I’m not allowed to talk about what’s after that, but it’s extremely exciting. I’m looking to complete my live band so I can begin frequently gigging around London. I’m based in the UK so feel free to get in touch if that appeals to you! Follow me everywhere at some variation of @Jimmi Herbert. Thanks so much for having me. Thanks :) Connect with Jimmi on social media www.instagram.com/jimmiherbert www.twitter.com/?lang

Welcome to BuzzMusic! What age did you start recording your music? Did anyone give you a push to begin doing that? I started recording when I was 16 years old. I was always writing songs as a kid so when I finally let my dad hear he pushed me to get into the studio and I haven't stopped since. Tell us more about “Cute”! What’s your favorite part of the track? "Cute" is the first song off of my first EP entitled "Options" which can be streamed on all streaming platforms. "Cute" is just a fun upbeat song basically talking about a boy I like but it's clearly going nowhere and as bad as I want to just walk away I can't 'cause he's just so cute lol I love the chorus of the song just because it's so fun and catchy. What was your childhood/ upbringing into music like? As a kid I was always shy except for when my sister and I would put on plays and sing and dance for our parents. I grew up listening to a lot of Michael Jackson, Prince, Mariah Carey and Toni Braxton, just to name a few. My dad was in a singing group back in the day so I guess I get it from him. I first performed in my high school talent show and that was when I fell in love with performing and my craft. Who are your biggest musical influences? Why? My biggest influences would be Michael Jackson just because he was an incredible performer and his music was timeless! Etta James because of the emotion she put into her voice to make you feel what she felt when she was singing. Toni Braxton, i just simply love her voice and she's how I learned to hit a lot of lower notes. There's so many artist who have influenced me. What are you up to for the rest of 2019? I've been working on some new material as well as still promoting my EP "Options". I have alot of shows coming up as well. Just trying to stay as busy as possible doing what I love to do! :) Keep up with Tatiana on social media! Instagram: www.instagram.com/iamtatib #BuzzMusic

Kids That Fly is an alternative pop band that formed out of the University of Connecticut in the fall of 2018. Known for their engaging and energetic live performances, Kids That Fly gained popularity on campus and things only took off from there. The four-piece act never fails to draw in a crowd with their tastefully catchy songs, along with the euphoric energy they give off during their shows. Kids That Fly’s debut EP “Lovesick” was released on April 5th, 2019, and earned more than 20k streams since then. The six-track project includes the hit single “It’s True”.  Kids That Fly’s music is heavily influenced by contemporary alternative rock, citing acts such as The 1975, Hippo Campus, and The Black Keys as some of their main influences. Pulling inspiration from their notable influences, Kids That Fly create an alternative pop sound like no other. Toe-tapping melodies and catchy guitar riffs layered with warm vocals that make you feel right at home. Kid That Fly come with a sound that makes the listener feel comfortable and welcome. They make music that allows their fans to connect with them, this is what makes a good artist. Kids That Fly have big things coming, stay on the lookout for what they deliver next. I highly recommend you check out “It’s True” and the entire EP here and read more below in our exclusive interview! Hi, welcome to BuzzMusic! Can you start by introducing and explaining everyone's role within Kids That Fly? Hi! This is Nick Smeriglio, the singer and guitarist of Kids That Fly. Other members include Jacob Stockman who plays the drums, Blake Henry who plays lead guitar, and Braden Frandino who plays bass. Can you explain your stage name? Nick: Having always been a fan of the idea of flight whether it be vintage fighter planes, or Cold War jets, and having already been in a band with the flight theme attached to it (Flight Crew on Spotify and Apple Music), Jacob and I thought it would be fitting to stick with it. We were paying homage to our roots with our hometown band, where we really started as musicians. What’s “It’s True” about? What inspired this track? Nick: “It’s True” was inspired by a strong feeling of anxiety and confusion. It’s about finding clarity in your own thoughts, and learning to put your energy towards things that matter in life. It was written to help me make sense of a confusing time in my life where I started looking at the things I was spending my time doing and thinking “where is this going to get me in life?” I didn’t know what choices would get me the best outcome in the long run. That kind of introspection eventually helped me make sense of where my life was going and kind of pushed me in the right direction. It ended up drawing a lot of comparisons to “The Catcher in the Rye” in that it’s also about being young and struggling to find your place in a confusing and complicated world. What’s the overall theme of your EP, “Lovesick”? Nick: The EP is a bit of a coming of age tale. All the songs have something to do with finding your way into adulthood. “Lovesick” and “Again” go into how complicated love and relationships can be, and songs like “20 Hours Notice” and “Nothing’s Built to Last” touch on fitting into the grand scheme of things, and of all the things you’re told as a kid, what to believe. It all comes to a head in “Too Young”, which is all about accepting your own youth and the fact that not everything is supposed to make sense right now. It was written at a time of transition in our lives and the combination of confusion and excitement I think really comes through in not only the words, but also the feel of the songs. What’s next for Kids That Fly? Nick: Hopefully more new music. We’ve already started writing our next work and we’re pretty excited about what we have so far. We have more gigs coming up soon and we’re working on making all our performances better than the last. Can’t say exactly when the new music will be dropping, but definitely keep and eye out Keep up with Kids That Fly!

We usually take a break and listen to other music to get inspiration. Let’s talk about this dope hit, “YUGAMI”. What was the major vision behind it? The vocal really sparked the idea for a groovy house song with dark vibes. We wanted the listeners to feel like they had to dance and enjoy the dirty drop. What’s next for you NESI?

"I hope this doesn't sound weird..." That was the tentative text Drew Norris sent to Tatum Russo that marked the beginning of what is now electro-pop duo Prep Rally. Shortly after the disbandment of another local Denver band Tatum was a part of, Drew began sending Tatum bits and pieces of riffs and progressions he wrote on the piano. Tatum would then write lyrics to these snippets, prompting both to build on them and eventually arrange them into full songs. This eventually led to the duo playing local shows around Denver in 2017, and the release of their first EP "Passing Notes" in early 2018. Although it took some time for this dynamic duo to find their stylistic home, they eventually settled into a poppy, electronic vibe that draws from 80s synthpop but quickly diverges into its own, quirky sound. Their music has drawn comparisons to CHVRCHES, Grimes, and Marina and the Diamonds. Prep Rally released their stimulating hit titled “Break In”. This transporting and trailblazing record takes you through a tunnel of multiple eras of pop music in the most structured and charismatic journey possible. The atmospheric environment it creates is unforgettable and hypnotizing. The production to “Break In” had classic elements of synth-drums with bubblegum pop-like vocals in this eclectic tune. The danceable rhythm to the record calls for a great mood of grooving and vibing. “Break In” has this sensational energy that gets you sucked into the music and undeniably enjoying the presence of Prep Rally. The delightful sound and well-arranged vocals has a gravitating effect on its listener. The quirkiness was attractive. They weren’t afraid to make “weird” look “cool” and “cool” look “weird”. It was authentically presentable with just a charismatic delivery. “Break In” will be a nice summer jam that many people will find themselves obsessing over this season! Listen to "Break In" here and get to know more about Prep Rally below! Welcome to Buzz Prep Rally! What were some challenges you faced in the start-up of your journey to where you’re at now? Drew and Tatum met in a previous band called Jiinx,  based in Denver. Tatum was co-lead vocals and flute, and Drew was in the process of auditioning for guitar when the group disbanded. A multi-instrumentalist, Drew was really interested in getting into production, so he reached out to Tatum to see if she’d be interested in staring a new project as a duo. The result would eventually become Prep Rally, although we weren’t really sure in those days what our music would sound like or where it was going.  Over time it developed into the instrumentally dense synth pop you hear on our latest EP.  Once we had overcome the challenge of finding our musical niche, we then had to figure out how to translate that into a fun love show, which was it’s own set of challenges.  It’s been a great experience, though, and we’ve both grown a lot, musically. In what ways do your personal personalities fuse well with each other to create a unit? Tatum has always been an introverted extrovert and this has helped a lot with networking and social media promotion. She is also able to pack a punch of emotion in everything she writes, being a bit of an empath herself. Drew is more introverted and fascinated with composition and any sort of DIY project, and channels that into music arrangements and the stage lighting the band uses for live performances. We complement each other pretty well in that we often offset each other’s strengths and weaknesses. Let’s talk about the music! Thank you for sharing “Break In” with us! What was the main theme behind this song? Tatum got the initial idea for the song while visiting Oregon one summer. Feeling frustrated with how she has not taken control of how past relationships came to be, she wanted to empower herself to be in control of her own destiny both as an individual and in future relationships. This song isn’t about how much you’ve been hurt, it’s about learning from the past and not letting that happen to yourself again. How would you describe the lyrical arrangement to “Break In”? Tatum outlines how things typically start out in a relationship: they tell you what you want to hear, and you believe it.  If you aren’t in control of yourself and don’t know who you are as an individual, things can go awry. The chorus is a reminder of how many times this has happened - how many times you have agreed to be a doormat, and a determination to be in control and guarded. What’s next for you Prep Rally Prep Rally has been working on our ‘Summer Cover Series’.  We are planning to cover a few songs over the next couple months and release them as an EP at the end of the Summer. Currently we are working on our cover of “Little Lies” by Fleetwood Mac.

Sunny Birla decided at a young age that music was what he had to pursue in life—as if music was his true calling of character. We’re fascinated when artists feel that calling to become the artist they are. The power that music has, and clearly holds in Sunny’s life with his connection to music, is undeniable. Sunny creates his music with such passion—passion that cannot simply be fabricated with how intense you can feel the emotion in Sunny’s music. You feel almost powerful and surged when listening to Sunny’s music, especially his latest song “These Words”. Sunny Birla, without a doubt, has a sound you haven’t quite heard before. And that’s what we love finding here at BuzzMusic—independent artists who curate a sound that is atypical, unique, and cultivating. Sunny maintains a soothing and silky tone throughout his vocalism, which ultimately creates a vibrant and tranquil environment for the listener. “These Words” is the perfect pop ballad that we know the pop-music scene will adore. Sunny Birla tells captivating stories throughout his music, and “These Words”  continues that pattern with  raw and honest story behind the production. A love song we’re obsessed with, and know BuzzMusic readers will be too, “These Words” is the perfect song to listen to when feeling reminiscent or thoughtful. We feel that Sunny’s sound is unique for this days age of pop music. We don’t see a ton of male pop ballad artists, and Sunny's sound is incredibly refreshing and fitting right into a category that needs his music right now. Feel free to give his music a listen to see exactly what we’re talking about. Check out Sunny’s “These Words” here, and don’t forget to catch his exclusive interview below! Hey there Sunny! Can you please introduce yourself to our readers? Hey guys, My actual name is Anurag Birla but I go by the name Sunny Birla, simply because Sunny was a nickname given to me by family and friends as a kid. I was born and brought up in Hong Kong but moved to NYC for college. I just graduated from NYU and have been writing and recording music with my friend Derrick Wan for the last year. I just released my 4th single, These Words, not so long ago and I’m super excited about where I want to take my music. Your sound is so soft and soulful. We love how honest you sound in your music! How do you envision your overall sound is interpreted by your fans? I obviously want all my fans and listeners to feel the lyrics and hopefully go on an emotional journey that I’ve tried to create through each of my songs. So far I’ve tried to be as true to my emotions as I can, but there’s a lot more to me than just being soft and soulful and I think in terms of the future I am definitely looking to experiment and be more bold with my music. I want my fans to relate to what I’m expressing. I want the music to evoke any sort of emotion in them really, it’s all about the feel. If you could give one piece of advice to yourself when you first started off as an artist, what would it be? One thing I would tell myself would be to not worry too much about trying to copy certain artists, be true to yourself and hopefully you can develop a unique and different sound through that. Focus on what you can bring out through your music and don’t be afraid to attempt new things, you don’t have to always play it safe. We feel that your sound is unique for this days age of pop music. What was your goal when entering the pop ballad category of music? I think with this song especially I wanted to paint a romantic but heartbroken picture at the same time. I wanted people to be able to almost slow dance to the song while evoking emotions that would bring back bittersweet memories of “what could’ve been”. I just wanted to take people through a journey of love and loss and hopefully I could do that for most listeners. How do you feel about the music industry today? It’s super exciting! I think that it’s amazing how anyone in the world can record something simple and upload it onto these streaming services, it gives music listeners so many options in terms of what they want to listen to. Obviously, this makes it much more competitive for aspiring artists, but for music, it’s such a win, because people connect to all sorts of music in all different ways.

Eminencee has experienced his own trials and tribulations to get him to where he is today. Born and raised Houstonian (Houston, Texas) former football player Jamie Shepard is delivering contemporary R&B hits for the soul. Eminencee is influenced by his experiences and real life. Eminencee left school at 13 to pursue a life on the street, he was a drug dealer until he was 21 when he decided he wanted to change his life and become an athlete. He put all his faith in God and now he makes music for the masses through his emotive lyricism that includes world views, different perceptions and relatable viewpoints in order to establish a solid foundation to build connections with his listener. Eminencee released his EP “Climate” earlier this year that features the powerful and heartfelt track “Broken Relationships”. Eminencee gives the listener a look inside his feelings and is authentically vulnerable. He’s able to keep his listeners focused on a meaningful subject while delivering spectacular vocals and reciting purely poetic verses. Eminencee speaks his truth and his authenticity shines through. Raw and emotive, he describes his past relationship with this angelic woman.
