Aeon Antenna released their single titled “RoboCock”. “RoboCock” begins with a suave electric guitars which makes for a groovy introduction. The song shows much musical progression when it transitions into a catchy, eerie and outlandish vibe. I like how “RoboCock” exhibits true electrifying rock, that mainstream rock music has while delivering a witty feel. Something neat, I played this song on my home speaker, the company I had over came in the living room and instantly began dancing alongside the hit. This was an indication to me that Aeon Antenna has this unique ability to garner a party together and capture the attention of the crowds. I didn’t look at “RoboCock” as a party hit, more so a song we can rock out too in our cars, however I quickly realized it’s the companionship that "RoboCock" brings. Imagine listening to this with your friends, without any care in the world, on a freeway drive. Just jamming out together and enjoying the moment. “RoboCock” has that special stimulating and exhilarating effect on others! Check out our interview with the band and be sure to listen to Aeon Antenna's new song "RoboCock". Hey guys, care to introduce yourselves to our readers? Moi, that’s how we say hello in Finland! We’re four slightly odd gentlemen that have been making experimental rock with funky breaks and proggy melodic twists for about 10 years now. We recently took 3 years off but we’re back again and ready to make all new music in 2019 and beyond. How was the creation process for “RoboCock” ? The music began as an interplay between our deliriously happy guitarist Henri and our ever-chilled bassist Patrik who had come bearing riffs that day. At the time our singer Steve wasn’t yet in the band so the music grew whilst he larked about obliviously elsewhere. Steve in his (lack of) wisdom had written the lyrics to “RoboCock” then titled “Vegbot” months before joining the band and left them to their fate on a scrappy piece of paper somewhere amongst a tide of random stuff. Shortly after arriving in the band Henri sent a demo of “Jimi’s Magic Cock” to Steve, he replied jokingly ‘I have a stupid story about a one armed robot and his cat’. Henri thought it was a perfect fit and we never looked back. How would you describe your musical style? We once invented our own genre named “purple rock pickle” because we’ve had a tough time identifying ourselves amongst known styles. We have a lot of small elements from many familiar genres, musical artists and influences from other media entirely. Despite this the sound revolves around a four piece hard rock style with melodic bass and the experimental side is usually found in small moments where we veer in a new direction and seek a surprise. There’s psychedelic moments, metal riffing, funky breakaways, jazzy doodles and we feel that you’ll at least hear hints of Jethro Tull, Tool, Kingston Wall (great Finnish rock), Iron Maiden and Rush in our music. What’s the most addicting part about creating music!? We often discuss what we want from the band apart from pipe dreams of million-dollar homes and the ideas are pretty simple. First and foremost the addiction to making music for us is the satisfaction of creating something that we truly enjoy ourselves. This band has been through a lot of ups and downs but it keeps on bouncing back because it is full of our personalities and might just be indestructible because we love it, each other and the songs too much. What type of vibe do you personally feel “RoboCock” gives? “RoboCock” gives a playful vibe that hopefully carries the listener away until the inevitable moment dawns when they ponder what on earth the lyrics are about. That is the moment when an Aeon Antennafan is either born or lost. The song could be viewed as a test of one’s courage, dare you play this to your friends? Have you performed live yet? If so, any pre-stage traditions that help you prepare for the crowd? We’ve been playing live since the earliest days of the band. We haven’t brought our big supply of energy to anywhere  outside of Finland yet so we’re looking for opportunities to do that. Before a show we almost always have a little meeting where we ask each other how we’re feeling and boost each other’s egos with wildly exaggerated compliments and closer hugs than we should admit.

Alias None has a one of a kind style and voice with a very rough-edge and unique flow paired with soft and smooth melodies making him well known for his versatility. Alias None isn't a stranger to voicing out his opinion on what we take in as "Hip Hop" these days and is known for taking shots at artists for faking their careers - some to never to return to music. Alias None began playing various instruments at the age of 10 and started playing around with Hip Hop further in his life around 2007 when he was just seventeen. Later Alias None would then join with Tyrant and then Johnny Manic forming, Fac3Valu3 to do some minor touring and some notable shows. It wasn’t until 2018 that Alias None started taking music serious and leaving the mentality of it being a hobby behind. Alias None released his hyphy banger “25/8”. I played this song on full volume and saw how it caught the attention of not only myself but others around me. It has that special effect to garner an audience and attract listeners. Maybe it’s Alias None's gritty, unique and out of the ordinary rap voice? Maybe it’s the gaudily, extravagant, dark - yet chilly aggressive rap beat? Or maybe it’s the hard-hitting lyricism with the impeccable delivery and insane flow.Whatever it is, “25/8” instantly gravitates you towards the banging record. It has the potential of not only serving as a radio hit but a party hit to share with all your friends! It’s perfectly fitting for the current trend of rap culture. Lately, hip-hop fans been vying for the bold and in your face rap style that’s been lacking in certain areas of the rap game. Alias None is here to fill that void of raw talent and charisma we didn’t know we desperately needed! Check out Alias None's new song "25/8" and learn more about the meaning behind the song from Alias None himself! Hey there, care to introduce yourself to our readers? Hey, so my name is Colin Rankin (Alias None). I'm from the East Coast of Canada. I was born in Fredericton, the Capital of New Brunswick and I grew up between there and Saint John. What inspired you to start rapping? We were teens.. an old buddy and I were just relaxing in the basement on a uncomfortably hot summer day.. "Get Rich or Die Tryin'" was playing over and over on the DVDs main menu, so I figured why not sit down and mess around? Long story short, I ended up realizing I got more emotion out of writing than I'd did playing the various instruments I was playing at the time. That's what inspired me to write that day... What inspired me to start rapping was the feeling I got when writing... Odd that I've always enjoyed Hip Hop yet never gave one thought to writing until late in my teens. Who are some of your musical inspirations and why? Oh man, that's a super long list! I've been playing guitar since I was ten, various instruments followed so I have inspiration from many artists. Growing up I listened to a lot of music with my Dad. Everything from Uriah Heep to Chris DeBurgh. Honestly, I listened to everything you can imagine that was mainstream from probably 1970 and on. The Game, Eminem, G-Unit, Ludacris, Ice Cube, Slipknot, Cannibal Corpse, Primus,et. But as for currently; Kevin Gates, Syph, Littles The General, Sayzee, Mozzy, Scrap Gang and so many more! Although you’re a rapper, do you like broadening your genre of music? - One hundred percent. If I'm alone I generally listen to instrumental jazz or blues. A lot of people around me complain that it sounds like elevator music so I tend to do that on my own time. What’s your artist interpretation behind “25/8”? I've been going non stop for my people for as long as I can remember. I'm up everyday between 9am and 10am and I don't usually get to bed until between 4:30am and 7am. When it comes to my hunger for success so that my people need for nothing, I have a tape worm. If I could function without sleep I wouldn't have a bed. It might not be healthy but that's my mindset.. I've surpassed motivation.. I don't even know the word for where I'm at with this focus. Do you usually deliver an aggressive flow or do you like to switch it up sometimes? No, in my humble opinion, I believe I am very versatile. I almost don't have a particular sound because I experiment so much.. and I think that gives me my own sound. What’s your opinion on the current state of hip-hop? I think it's transforming into entertainment and the artistry of lyricism is getting lost. It's sad to say that a high percentage of what sells isn't what it appears to be. I remember laying back on my bed listening to album after album with headphones on.. nowadays I don't know many people in the younger generations that can enjoy a song without a video because we've "dumbed" down our populations so much we can't associate the music properly without visual stimulation. Is there a major rap scene in Canada? There's a passionate scene. Booming? No.. Alive? Yes. Drake has put us on the map in a major way... Merkules is doing a lot right now and is making us underdogs proud. Canada isn't the U.S, it's definitely harder to make it from here for obvious reasons but nonetheless, Hip Hop is alive and well in my beautiful country. If you can collaborate with any rapper of your choice who would it be and why? Hands down, Kevin Gates. His music has made an impact on my life in a major way in the past few years. I might not be where I am today if it wasn't for his music. Where do you find inspiration for your songwriting? Everywhere. It can come from waking up in a good mood, it can come from a realization in a simple conversation, the possibilities are endless. What’s your ultimate goal for 2019? No doubt about it, by the end of 2019, I'll be doing music full-time. My Mum deserves here dream home and my Dad deserves his dream Corvette. I won't stop till I can retire them and give them everything they want. Before you'll ever see me buy a fancy car or house you'll see my parents in theirs. That's real talk.

Pagan Picnic released “Neon Strip” and this wasn’t an easy song to interpret but we love a challenge! Pagan Picnic did a great job isolating the meaning behind the song and i say that because for me, it really evoked my interest in the record more. Pagan Picnic has an electrifying sound, and hauntingly eerie voice that sends chills through your body. So while you’re becoming practically mesmerized and enthralled by their spellbinding and enrapturing voice, you’re relaxed by the gorgeous sounds of the guitar and lost in the attempt of decoding the message of “Neon Strip”. “Neon Strip” evokes the nomadic emotion in our body, it sets off a feeling of curiosity to explore the song in a more depth manner. For me, it’s fun being able to become a union with the art and to scavenger through the melancholic aesthetic to find the morale. Pagan Picnic has an appealing vibe where you’re interested in seeing the act live. Their music is attracting enough alongside their charisma and aura that’s subtly presented in the music itself. Pagan picnic is a band I think we will be hearing a lot from in these upcoming year! Listen to "Neon Strip" here and get to know Pagan Picnic in our interview below! Hey guys, how did you guys meet and form? Where did you get the name “Pagan Picnic”? We were all invited to a nobleman's 19th century-themed masquerade and coincidentally we all came dressed as Catherine Earnshaw from Wuthering Heights. We bonded over this fact and became friends. Then we started a band. We had no idea what to call our band but eventually decided on Pagan Picnic, a name inspired by an odd encounter we had with people who were performing pagan rituals in the woods outside of our hometown. Have you guys ever performed live yet? Is that an invite to come play in LA? Then count us in! But so far we've only played local gigs. How do you find most of your inspiration for your songwriting? We just try to make music that we enjoy playing and listening to. You get ideas from everything really, whether it’s other music, art or just life in general. What’s the meaning behind “Neon Strip”? The words just sounded cool together. The song with the same name is about a person’s romantic relationship with a mannequin. In your opinion, what sets you apart from other bands in the industry? We have a diverse background and our music is not defined by genre. We write music not because we think it’s cool or to get laid, we play because we have to. It’s like pooping, it’s just something we have to do to keep living. Any exciting plans for this year? We’ll write and record more music, and hopefully play lots of live shows, maybe even a few festivals if we’re lucky.

Ryan Cabana released “Kilombo” and with an insane flow and hard-hitting lyrics we can tell you that this rising rap sensation will cause waves in the music scene in all the correct ways. His sound instantly captivated me due to his unique rap voice that seems individualistic from any other rap voice I’ve heard recently. My favorite part about “Kilombo” however is his substance. Ryan Cabana discusses the toxic and brainwashed mentality of the young generation today. His consciously filled raps is what today’s generation need. Considering the fact that the youth is heavily influenced by the culture of hip-hop and the music that elevates their growth, artists like Ryan Cabana who projects good morals while not losing his “swag” that will translate well across an audience of hip-hop lovers is what makes him special and is much needed in today’s ethical rap music. The beat was extremely dope. It had the popular and appealing bass sound we love with an exquisite twist to the concurrent sound of rap beats. “Kilombo” is going to be a hit that many can vibe out to including you aggressive rap lovers all the way to you laidback calm-collected music lovers.

Ainae Nielsen is a vocalist and songwriter who was raised in SouthEastern Washington DC. Ainae used her poetry as a way to translate her experiences into her music. She recently released her first EP entitled “Contort” available on all platforms. Ainae continues to work and release new music showing her vulnerabilities and love for her craft. The world is writing a story the Ainae has the pen to translate. Ainae released her single titled “Dragon Heart Lemonade” and we were thoroughly impressed by her ability to convey genuine emotion through sincere lyricism and dynamic vocals. The song has the trendy augmented backtrack instrumental that holds as support to the record making the pop sound more vibrant! Ainae’s vocal resonance is highly delicate and she comforts us with her serenading vocals, yet showing off her fierce and tenacious attitude within the tune. Ainae impressed us with her wide vocal range, and powerful delivery. Many artists can’t sustain a balance between style and skills, however, she projected that specific balance effortlessly with her idiosyncratic energy and vocally skilled resonance. I interpreted that “Dragon Heart Lemondae” is the empowering girl power anthem about walking away from somebodies BS and realizing that you don’t have to deal with it any longer. Many people could relate to this single and it would translate well across many diverse groups of musical listeners! Listen to “Dragon Heart Lemonade” here.

After moving out to the US from the far away city of Budapest, Hungary, Renato Gresz isolated himself from most things he was used being exposed to. This new way of living was the reason that he was able to teach himself music production in his bedroom and allowed him to experiment with different genres and styles of playing, writing and recording music. The invested time and indulging efforts resulted into an outcome we will all be appreciative of.. the project called Ventures (FKA Sea Ventures). Instead of bedroom pop his so called “bathtub melancholic” style of singing and occasional madness, creates an atmosphere that welcomes emotions in the strangest forms. Making noise into beauty that you fear to explore, but desire to experience, his song “Pink Flowers” has this dainty conviction of songwriting and emotional substance. “Pink Flowers” is highly comprehensive, unusual from your typical norm of pop music, the all-inclusive approach was memorable for me. “Pink Flowers” has numerous elements of jam packed within one transcendental record. The meaning behind “Pink Flowers” seemed to have been locked and up to us to decode and analyze the intellectual tune. The vocals alongside the aesthetic beat was my favorite. The fused sound by both created a sensational environment for me. However, my personal favorite section in “Pink Flowers” is the three different major transitions in the beat. It takes the song into multiple different directions rather than sticking within one lane. It was one of the few elements that caused me to become a fan of Renato, besides of course his poetic inversive lyricism. The nomadic aura of “Pink Flowers” suits perfectly for those of you who are fan of artists such as “FKA twigs”. Overall, a ten out of ten for us! Listen to "Pink Flowers" here and get to know Renato Gresz in our interview below! Hi there, care to introduce yourself to our readers? Hi! My name is Renato. Im 6’1” and I weigh 154 pounds. I’m a blonde caucasian male and the color of my eyes are blue with a slight tint of green. My nationality is Hungarian and I wear glasses that are shaped like the one your grandfather probably wears. How did you form the name “Ventures” ? Any meaning or inspiration behind it? Honestly it just sounded cool so I kind of went with Sea Ventures when I released my first EP, but it felt like a band name and currently I’m working alone so I decided to take the Sea out if it. There’s not really much behind it. What inspired you to write your single “ Pink Flowers”? It was actual pink flowers. I was at a thrift store in Florida and I saw these pictures of different plants and flowers and it kinda caught my attention so I kept being focused on that imagery and visual in my head. You have a unique style, if you could categorize your music in any genre what would you categorize it as and why? When people ask me about my music I usually tell them that I make sad noises, but if I had to put it into a genre I would say it’s experimental pop bestrewed with elements of eastern folk and electronic pulses. Do you have any musical influences? If so who and why? When I was making this song I actually felt bad when I heard similarity in my sound to something I listen to, because taking inspiration from other artists felt like I’m not being creative and copying someone else so it took me some time and courage to realize that inspiration is the path to creativity. You can’t really make something from nothing therefore you need a source that nudges you in a direction. Bon Iver’s 22, A Million was a major influence on this and I’d say mostly, because of the way those songs break out from the norm and have these cracks and very pleasent sound and samples which give it this unexplainable flow that immediately cathces one’s attention. Another big one was Trevor Powers’ album called Mulberry Violence. His way of using noise that wouldn’t be expected to be made into music, fit in perfectly with the dissonant piano chords, loud industrial beats and discontinous scenes that leave you feeling like the blood freezes for those moments in your body And if I had to say one more It would be Young Fathers’ Cocoa Sugar album. All three of these artists are kind of doing the same thing by making a unique sound that you couldn’t imagine hearing before so you are really surprised when you hear something so unexpected. I really look up to people who are able to create that. What’s the impact you hope for your music to have on your listeners? I don’t really want to have an impact with my music. I sure hope for it to inspire people to have a better understanding of themselves not, because I wan’t to change something in them or show them something of myself, but to help make them vulnerable towards themselves and gain more understanding of what’s going on. What was your initial vision for “ Pink Flowers” ? Do you think you executed your vision as planned? When you look at a flower you see something beautiful and captivating, but that flower also dies one day and then it looks ugly. There’s this sort of fear that takes a hold of you as you see the reality of this around you. I really wanted to focus on different things that represent the aforementioned image. “pink flowers blooming in our hearts, wild cherries rotting in our minds”  I wanted to build the song around these objects and personify them as if I was talking to them, but since these also represent almost everything in life, I’m also talking to myself and everyone around me. A lot of my relationships with people and my relationship with myself are represented in this song. There’s this circle of emotions within everyone towards everyone that makes them want to say different things and change their minds about it a minute later. Like when you were a teenager and you’d tell your parents you loved them, but five minutes later when you got into some stupid fight with them you’d tell them you hate them, but an hour later you felt differently again. “so come here and rest yourself......still, I would love to make you cry” Have you performed live yet? If so, how do you get rid of your nerves? If you haven’t performed live yet, how are you planning on overcoming any nerves you may feel? I haven’t performed with this new project yet, but when the time comes I hope I’ll figure out how to deal with it. The other bands I performed with, I didn’t feel nervous so much, because I wasn’t alone, since there were five other people performing and a concert is like a construction where you’re not the only pillar so the weight isn’t only on your shoulder and the responsibility splits up therefore you know the focus isn’t only on you. Also if I still felt anxious I just drank a few beers before the gig and hoped for the best. What’s your 3 month, 6 month, and 1 year career goal? In 3 months: Have my first gig. In 6 months: Either release an EP or be working on album             in 1 year: I wanna buy a farm in Missouri and raise up families of opossums and armadillos while I have my own fountain that has root beer flowing out of if.

Talley is a fresh indie retro-pop act from Denver, Colorado. After a painful breakup with his prior band of 12 years, (Torgo!), he was forced to become a solo act, an endeavor he never planned, but which has lead to him flourishing. Talley's first single "We Can't Stay" looks back with loving nostalgia to the music of the past while venturing forward to explore new sounds in current progressive Indie Rock. “We Can’t Stay” has an vintage and classic rock sound that makes the single pop.. With the iconic synthesizers and electrics that was popular in quintessential rock music in the past, “We Can’t Stay” atmospherically places you in a different time period where rock music felt more authentic and genuine. The most important part about it is fun and raw, setting Talley apart from most current artists. “We Can’t Stay” allows you to have fun while enjoying the vibrant and multicolored instrumental and vocals. "We Can't Stay" paints an image of cotton candy, roller skates, vintage teen love and baby blue cars. “We Can’t Stay” instantly brings a satisfaction sentiment while listening. Allowing your prosperous happiness to emerge! Listen to Talley's new song "We Can't Stay". Check out our exclusive interview with Talley as we chat about the vision and meaning behind his new single. Be sure to stay connected with Talley on social media for all upcoming releases and news! Hey Talley, mind sharing to our readers a little about yourself? I'm a new Indie Retropop solo act hailing from beautiful Denver, Colorado. For over 12 years I led a progressive Indie Geekrock band from Texas. We reformed here in Denver, and after a year of recording and writing together, parted ways. Although a devastating loss and trial for me, it forced me to regroup and start my first official solo project, Talley; as it turns out, it was a blessing in disguise. I've been writing and producing two albums of original music simultaneously for the past year and a half now, and have also completed an album of covers to be released following my debuts. We can tell you have a really fluent and classic sound. Do you have any inspirations for this? I've found that most musical artists are embarrassed when they're called out for wearing their influences on their sleeve...but I'm actually proud when someone recognizes an influence because it's always been hard for me to define my specific sound. Others help you do this when they say who they think you sound like. I have such a vast volume of influences, they all sort of mesh together. I love when people say, "You sound like ____" and it's someone I've never heard of, or ever consciously taken influence from, just as much as when people say "You sound like ____", and they're spot-on. The latter is far rarer, but just the other day on Instagram a new fan messaged me, saying "Grandaddy meets Starf**ker", and I liked that. For my debut album, I'm hyper-aware of the main influence for each song, but for my follow-up, I'm trying to allow my subconscious to take the reigns, and I don't even really know what the sound is yet; it's new. In my own description of my umbrella genre: Indie Rock or Indiewave, and microniche: Retropop. Genre is hard to describe, and the majority of musical artists stray from this, sometimes to the point of entirely desiring to be un-defined, much to their own detriment, I believe. My training in Savvy Musician Academy teaches quite the opposite of this approach; that microniche definition is key to search engine optimisation, and fans and music-lovers alike love genre titles. It helps people to find your drop in the ocean of the internet! Here's the official description of my sound: Indie Retropop: Spacey Synthesizers, Scratchy Guitars, Layered Harmonies, and Quirky Rhythms. Cutting-edge Indie Rock and modern Electronic Music meets 70's Rock/80's New Wave. RetroFuture music. In what 3 adjectives would you describe “We Can’t Stay”? "We Can't Stay" is a deliberate homage to The Cars' 1984 album Heartbeat City, particularly the songs "Magic" and "You Might Think". It's a Talley love-letter to The Cars. Three adjectives? Glittery, Optimistic Eighties. Do you plan on releasing a video alongside “We Can’t Stay”? I'm primarily a filmmaker and am in the works to release a video for "We Can't Stay". Every month on the 25th through March, I'll be releasing a new single, with new artwork, promoting the upcoming full album debut, which will come out on June 21st of this year. By Halloween 2019, my follow-up, more electronic/experimental album will drop as well. I'm also finished with production on a tribute album of covers done in the "Talley" style, to be released Christmas 2019. It's a busy year! Any exciting upcoming events? Look forward to a crowd-funding campaign this Spring, where you can take part in helping me produce the records and related fantastical short films I'm working on with my crew!

Dani In Public is an indie pop solo project out of Philadelphia whom is determined to leave their mark in the music industry! Dani In Public has released their single “I'm Not Even Thinking About You” and I thoroughly enjoyed the vibe they gave. “I'm Not Even Thinking About You” begins with an dream-like and ethereal introduction before you absorbs the eerie vocals abundantly distinguishable to the artist themselves. The progressive record has elements of avant-pop, the subtle insensibility aura that was created was highly intriguing for me. “I'm Not Even Thinking About You” reminds me of a pastel-like musical art form similar to the sound an artist like Kali Uchis creates. Artists like Kali Uchis and Dani In Public have a special and unique way of constructing and creating music like a canvas. Dani in public delivers the tenderness you aim to feel from listening to music. “I'm Not Even Thinking About You” gives you the freedom to become numb to the ambiance of the music and I personally enjoyed that sense of emancipation. You can tell how Dani In Public doesn’t necessarily need to force a vibe for his listeners, it just naturally projects off his unique artistry. Listen to Dani In Public's new single "I'm Not Even Thinking About You" and catch our interview where we chat exclusively about Dani In Public's plans for his next release! Hi there, care to introduce yourself to our readers? I'm Dani in Public, an indie pop project from Philly. How was the music scene in Philadelphia? It's a very diverse scene, I feel like I have friends in every genre, which is awesome. What was the intended message behind “I'm Not Even Thinking About You” ? I wanted to create a song about unrequited love that had some bite to it. I'm a sucker for sad songs to be honest. It was important for me to capture how i was feeling when I wrote it. Do you have any personal musical influences if so who? I'm a big fan of Frank Ocean, Sza, Justin Vernon and Lana Del Rey. I grew up on both pop music and hip hop. Do you produce your own music as well as record? Yes, I produce and record all my tracks. What’s one goal you aspire to accomplish in your music this year? Build my brand and put out two albums. The first one. "All About You", is coming out Valentine's Day. Connect with Dani In Public on social media: Twitter : @dani_inpublic Instagram: www.Instagram.com/dani_inpublic #BuzzMusic
