Canadian country singer Peter Peres developed his love for music early on. Growing up in Toronto, Ontario, Peres initially gained experience in the music scene by working as a photographer and videographer at various concerts and festivals. Peres developed a passion for writing and performing, stemming from open mic nights in the early days of his career. Peres is currently working on his debut EP with producer Shawn Moore, and we can’t wait to hear what they have in store for us. His sound is rooted in modern country and pop music, drawing inspiration from artists such as Brett Young, Jordan Davis, and Hunter Hayes, and many more. Diving into Peter Peres’ single, “Let You Go,” listeners immediately know that they are in a pop-country track. With a light guitar and percussion setting the scene, Peres’ twangy, captivating vocals cut through, with a powerful delivery that pulls us in us right away. The production gears up later on for a full-bodied soundscape within the choruses and bridge, and we can’t get enough of this upbeat, heartfelt track. Pere’s lyrics are honest and vulnerable, detailing the very relatable experience of the end of a relationship, and the trials and tribulations that come along with the emotional journey that follows. He demonstrates extremely impressive vocal chops as he pulls us along for his intimate story. He takes us along for the emotional stages of losing someone you love, and the feeling of trying to move on while constantly being reminded of them everywhere you go. Peres is reflective and genuine in his single, and we are eating it up. This upbeat country-pop heartbreak anthem is one you definitely don’t want to miss. Go and check out Peter Peres’ single “Let You Go,” available now on all streaming platforms. We love your new single, “Let You Go”, and are especially captivated by your vulnerability on the track. Was it tough to be so honest with the subject matter while writing this track? Thank you so much, so I wrote "Let You Go" with my friend Matt Teed and we both came up with the idea and focus of the song using our experiences from past relationships. The idea came pretty naturally and we both kinds of had similar experiences so we formed it in a way that was relatable to us and to everyone who listened to it. Most of the songs I write follow a similar theme and it's always fun to express them in a way that's meaningful to me and the listener. Did you have a specific idea in mind of you who hoped this song would resonate with the most? What do you hope listeners will take away from this song while listening? This song is a breakup song so it's meant for anyone currently going through a breakup or experienced a similar breakup and could relate with the words written in the song. I hope this song helps listeners realize that even though breakups are hard and it's not always easy to move on, there will come a day where you do move past it all. Can you tell us a bit more about the process of recording this song? Did you face any unexpected challenges along the way? This song was one of my favorites to record. It's one of those songs that came naturally in the booth and my producer hit the nail when it came to the sound production. I gave him examples of how I wanted it to sound like and he took that and formed it in a way that made it unique to me. You’ve mentioned that you are heavily inspired by country icons like Brett Young, Jordan Davis, and Hunter Hayes. How do you feel like these artists have helped to influence and shape your music up until now? Brett Young was one of the first Country artists that I listened to. I related to all of the songs he wrote and his style and lyrics were very similar to mine and it opened up the possibility of being a Country singer myself. His song "In Case You Didn't Know" is one of the songs I sing the most when I perform and it was this song that helped with the decision to make the switch from Pop music to Country. Jordan Davis and Hunter Hayes both have similar writing styles as well but for this song, in particular, Jordan Davis was a big reference. He too is Pop Country but also has his songs with a bit more grit in them that I too want to have in some of my songs as well. What's next for you? More music is coming! I have my next single coming out very soon which will also lead me to release my debut EP of six songs in the coming months. Unfortunately, COVID delayed production a lot last year but I am really excited to finally release all these new tunes out into the world. I also plan to do more performing this year so keep an eye out on my website and socials for updates on upcoming shows and music. peterperesmusic.com @peterperesmusic

Singer-Songwriter, Destxny, makes another long-lasting impression with her latest release, “Red Eye.” This artist has proven that she is not afraid to venture into a variety of avenues and genres of music with her releases, constantly exploring and creating a fresh sound with every new track she puts out. Her creative process is based upon letting listeners in on her most personal thoughts and experiences. She has built up a catalog of a variety of singles over the course of the last two years, and we can’t wait to hear what she creates next. Throughout her latest release, “Red Eye,” Destxny has created a mysterious and lush sonic environment for the listener to escape into. She opens the track with an ominous, seductive guitar line, setting the tone for the rest of the song. Her vocals are powerful and articulate, and we are hooked on every word. Part-way through the song, an infectious drum groove kicks in, helping to create a fully immersive feeling for the listener and propelling the song forward. The sultry tone of her voice combines beautifully with the thick, dark production elements helping backing up the track, and we are thoroughly impressed. Throughout “Red Eye,” we feel Destxny's lyrics deeply, slicing through the immersive soundscape she’s created. Swaying along to her lyrics of love and desire, we are engulfed in the intimacy of this track. Let Destxny sweep you away in her mysterious and seductive new single, “Red Eye,” available on all streaming platforms. Can you tell us a bit more about the inspiration behind your lyrics in “Red Eye”? I am so happy to hear you guys enjoyed "Red Eye"! I was going through an odd transition when I wrote the song. I met a ton of new people and zeroed in on the roles they were about to play in my life. When I sat in on this session, I wondered about the permanence of their roles. I questioned a lot about myself and how I felt about each individual. Once my pen hit the paper, or rather finger to my phone screen, my soul kind of did the talking. We are loving the production backing up your vocals, creating an ominous, seductive feeling for the listener. Can you explain the recording process and how you executed your vision with the production of the track? My brother, Remvmber When and I wrote this song. We both felt so sure of this one. There was something about it that touched our deepest emotions. After the initial demo, we knew this would be the one that would make our listeners feel a way. That's my goal with writing music; I want everyone to experience a feeling, a memory, a meaningful connection. Is there a specific feeling or message you want the listener to take away from “Red Eye” while listening to it for the first time? I want the listener to think of someone they love. Whether that be a partner, a friend, or a family member. Think of how this person makes you feel. Think of a moment where they reflected a side of you that was too unbearable to face. The story behind "Red Eye" follows two people who have fallen for one another. In a way that most would associate with a 'twin flame.' This person serves as a lesson in your life; they mirror your deepest insecurities to reveal what needs to be changed within yourself. They are here temporarily, but their impact lasts a lifetime. You’ve mentioned that you like to explore a variety of genres and musical stylings with each new release. Is there a genre you’ve yet to explore that we can potentially expect to hear from you down the road? I was recently featured on a song with Reg Mason and DJDaniverse called "Hola, Hola." That was the first verse I recorded in Spanish. I was nervous because that was the first time I stepped out of my comfort zone. Spanish is my second language so I would love to embrace that side and give people a chance to get to know me and my background. What's next for you? What's next for me is written in the stars, and I have yet to explore that far out into the universe. However, I am excited to announce that I will be dropping a new single called "Forget It" next month. That one will be my love letter to the world. You guys will experience a vulnerable side of me that's itching to surface. Until then, Godspeed<3 instagram.com/destxnyl twitter.com/destxnyl_

From Arizona to California, the Armenian-American singer-songwriter and r&b artist Angela Mona falls into the trap of a bittersweet "Deadible" through her latest bluesy single. After experiencing a troubled youth with health issues, peer pressure, and financial struggle, Angela Mona's unstoppable and eager sense of drive proved that her strength remains persistent. Instead of craving to be in the inner circle, Mona finds beauty in embracing her outcast image and never attempts to alter it. Recently releasing her cathartic and heavy-hearted single, "Deadible," we hear Angela Mona open up about troubled love while pondering the situation after scarfing down a heavy edible. The song is a soulful, organic, and textured ballad that takes us through the trials and tribulations of confusing love, which may seem all the more blurred when sinking into a potent treat. Expanding on the new single, "Deadible," the song softly opens with a haunting piano melody and melancholy background strings alongside Angela Mona's clear and crisp vocal stylings. While Mona continues to drift through our speakers like a spirit locked in the depths of despair, she grabs our attention with her groans and melisma that sing of pain, confusion, and feeling trapped in a high. This song evokes these surreal images of a woman spinning around her Victorian-era mansion in a long white nightgown, something ghostly and deeply emotional. We wish the song were longer than it is; that said, Angela Mona gets straight to the point and delivers her message of sorrow and introspection in the most soulful and gripping way. I guess we'll just have to hit repeat. Take a hit and sink into the emotion and passion of Angela Mona's latest single, "Deadible," now available on all digital streaming platforms. We're head over heels for the emotion and soul in your latest single, "Deadible." Could you describe the moment you felt inspired to begin creating this piece? I appreciate yall for discovering and listening! This one is by far the most personal I've released as a "pause" to my story. As a teen, there were times where people constantly insisted that I should smoke weed or try edibles, even in middle school, pretty ridiculous. So as someone who never smokes or takes drugs in general, consuming edibles by accident was a nightmare. I had my first accident when I was 15, after I ate an entire edible chocolate bar, not knowing it contained THC. I couldn't believe what was happening to me that time, and thankfully I didn't end up in the hospital. What was worse was it was on Mother's day. Fast forward to just last year, being 21 and angry about some things. I craved chocolate chip cookies. I just craved sweets, anything chocolate to chill. My mother occasionally bakes homemade edibles for herself and other people we know in LA. I had no idea that this time, the cookies she baked had cannabis in them. After meditating, taking a nice shower, and feeling all better, I smell the cookies in the kitchen, there were so many laid out, not just the chocolate chip ones. My mom didn't warn me that they're edibles, and you could barely taste or smell any weed. I proceeded to eat 4-5 of them. I was also unaware of the 'munchies' kicking in before the symptoms worsened, which was crazy. I'm distressed and worried about what's to happen; everything slows down, my entire body is numb, I feel paranoid, intense mood swings, it was an extreme, hell-like experience. As if someone took over my mind- possessed. I hate that feeling. This all carried on for a few days and during the Father's day weekend. Seeing that you were lifted on a "Deadible" when writing your latest single, did your words and thoughts come easier to you? Or was it more of a challenge to express those raw emotions? After a while, and several short naps later, I sat in front of my piano and kept playing with my eyes closed. I was so out of it, but the music was coping. I was aware of everything happening. I couldn't watch movies, draw or play video games. My hands were playing by themselves. Then slowly the melody came in, the words, everything. "I've been so high, and I'm out of sight" was the first thing I said, and after finding the chords- it clicked. I went on FL studio, plugged in everything then sang and played live. Every lyric you hear just came to mind, nothing is written down. I never wish what I went through upon anyone. I could've fallen in a trance but luckily did not. When I came back to normal (a few weeks later), I showed the song to my friend and producer, Raul, and he loved it. He really wanted to somehow be a part of it, so he added the strings and mixed everything. Why did you choose to leave "Deadible" at a relatively short length? Did you feel the song served what it needed to within that one minute and thirty-five seconds? I feel it was necessary to be short, it was a short-lived, heavy experience after all. The shorter, the more simplistic, plus it was unplanned. From what and how I felt, the music just carried itself. The song is a raw telling of what it feels like to be under the influence, and not in a way that the majority expect. You know, you're supposed to feel "good" and super relaxed or whatever from these kinds of things, right? It wasn't like that at all. Should we expect to hear "Deadible" on a forthcoming project of yours? "Deadible" will be the first intermission of my project "iam. Sincerely, Nobody." It's a written story, music series, and rollout I created to understand myself more and heal along the way. The intermission is like a sudden pause for the characters of my story. Imagine being distracted from so much smoke, bad influence. Falling into some kind of trap and you want to get out fast- that's Deadible. There will be more soon with short films and visualizers, this is just the start. What can listeners expect next from you? I don't like to give away too much that hasn't happened yet, but for sure the series will continue with new music, and every song will be a new chapter with a set of different acts to carry on the plot of 'Angela' and her 3 personas. instagram.com/moshiishom

Paul Cafcae has managed to flip your standard Christmas love song on its head, and we are eating it up. From an early age, Russian-Canadian artist Paul Cafcae developed a love for blues and rockabilly music, heavily inspired by musicians like The Beatles, Elvis Presley, and B.B. King. This passion led him to begin studying various instruments as early as 6 years old. Years later, Cafcae has made a name for himself as a passionate performer and songwriter in the Americana music scene. Putting forth his most recent single, “Every Day is Christmas," Cafcae catapults listeners back to the early ’60s, filling this track with rockabilly guitar riffs, boisterous saxophone lines, and drums that carry the listener along through the cheerful yet cheeky single. With the help of Toronto-based producer Christian Anderson, Cafcae has created an upbeat, full-bodied track, heavily inspired by Phil Spector’s “wall of sound.” Paul Cafcae’s lyrics guide the listener through a different kind of Christmas story than what they may be used to hearing around this time of year. He brings light to the fact that while most holiday songs reflect the love one share with partners or family, many people may be living a more solitary holiday experience than was is reflected in the media. Cafcae notes, “We are always being told that we have to spend these types of holidays with a special someone…And it feels like it’s not inclusive of people who are happily single…It’s a shame that we don’t have more songs that tell us that it’s OK to be in a relationship with yourself.” Throughout “Every Day is Christmas," Paul Cafcae helps to support listeners who are not conforming to traditional experiences around this time of year, and beautifully empowers them to embrace this path. Welcome, Paul Cafcae! A huge congratulations on the release of “Every Day is Christmas”. We love your fresh new take on the standard holiday love song. Was there a specific moment that inspired this single? Thank you so much for having me, BuzzMusic! I don't think there was a specific isolated moment, more like a build-up of emotions. I know that people who are single by choice or by circumstance around certain traditional holidays feel pressure. Sometimes it feels like they are not allowed to be happy about their relationship status that way. Such lack of inclusivity feels unjust to me, and I wanted to do my part in making them feel accepted and equally entitled to share in the joy. So that's how I came up with the idea of this song, the character being someone coming out of an unhealthy relationship... And the rest is just a process. :) How would you describe the process of recording this song? How did working with Toronto-based producer Christian Anderson help to bring the track to life? This was my first time working with Christian in a producer capacity. I worked with him earlier this year when I was recording vocals and some acoustic instruments for my 2021 album "Where I Am," and I really enjoyed that experience!. I esp[ecially appreciated his feedback and suggestions on the vocal performance. Around that time I also heard some of the other work that Christian had done as a producer and composer, so I asked if he'd be interested in working on a single, and I played the demo for him. He enjoyed it and said that he always loved the authentic 60s sound and would want to take on this tune. We recorded everything in his studio, Cerebral Studio in Toronto, we tracked the drums, the upright bass, the saxophone, and the percussion with the musicians over a few days. The band greatly contributed to the arrangement and I am very grateful to them for their help! And the rest was just Christian working his magic, trying to get us as close as possible to the famous Phil Spector's "wall of sound." I am so fond of the result, and no doubt will come back to him to create more songs! Who do you hope this song resonates with the most, and what do you hope listeners will take away from this song? I of course hope it resonates with everyone, I hope it makes the listeners think about the inclusivity and the multitude of life values and priorities. But I know that it may not be a song for everyone, since the message may swing quite far away from the traditional view of Christmas. I got some pushback from a few Christian radio stations because of the song that "mocks family values," and I accept that point of view from their perspective. Art is intricate and inherently subjective, so I just hope everyone can get past their backgrounds and views and just dance along to this very cool groove. Do you have any advice for listeners who are spending this holiday season alone? Oh, I am the last person to give any kind of advice, hahaha. I just really hope they enjoy themselves, enjoy the peace, and practice self-love. And if they are struggling, - as we all are today, one way or another - I hope my song adds even just a tiniest sliver of joy and happiness to their life. What's next for you? So hard to predict these days, the virus keeps putting cranks in our wheels. I hope I can tour around, even a bit when the weather gets a little warmer. But I will for sure continue working on more new music. I definitely plan to work more with Mr. Anderson on some songs in 2022. I set a goal to release at least one new single per quarter, and I hope they turn out as good as my latest releases. paulcafcae.com facebook.com/paulcafcaemusic youtube.com/paulcafcaemusic instagram.com/paulcafcaemusic

From the UK to the US, singer-songwriter, composer, and recording artist RØSES returns with an emotional and exhilarating sophomore single, "Creatures." Striving to create a safe space for the LGBTQ+ community with her conceptual music, RØSES never fails to capture an audience's undivided attention with her words of wisdom and gripping, emotional scenes. The young queer artist is working on a narrative-driven series with accompanying music videos that follow a group of queer young adults navigating through life with lingering childhood trauma. The series begins with her latest single, "Creatures," where RØSES breaks down the thoughts, pain, and experiences of a traumatic childhood and the mess that's left behind. RØSES' lyricism is top-tier; she has such a unique and distinct way of describing her thoughts and emotions that ultimately stops us dead in our tracks. Taking a listen to her latest single, "Creatures," the song softly begins with a faint keyboard arrangement that melts through our speakers with incredible emotion. As RØSES makes her airy and bright vocal appearance, she begins to paint mental images of what we assume is a young RØSES enduring the painful emotions of a traumatic childhood and navigating her way through young adulthood with the lingering effects of her past. As we move into the chorus, we're met with a bright, chilling, and bold electronic beat drop that cascades our speakers with brilliance and vibrance. This is definitely the climax of this emotional song. It perfectly amplifies the echoes of pain that RØSES continues to sing about, tugging on our heartstrings until the very last beat. Feel part of something greater with help from RØSES' heartfelt and conceptual sophomore single, "Creatures," now available on all digital streaming platforms. We're truly touched by the emotion and vulnerability within your latest single, "Creatures." Could you expand on what inspired you to create such a poignant and cathartic piece? “Creatures” is actually an indirect sequel to a poem I wrote way back in 2017 ,“Red Ribbons”. I was working with an amazing LGBT+ non-profit at the time called Maven Youth, their mission being to create a pipeline for LGBT+ and minority youth into the tech industry. While being a youth leader at one of their free tech camps in Texas, I met the most incredible gender-queer person. I was shocked that at only 14, they had a maturity some people don’t have until their mid 20s. Over the two weeks of that camp, I got to know someone loving, kind and warm - constantly doing whatever they could to take care of the other youth around them. They brought such positive energy to the room, it was almost enough to distract from the barrage of extremely deep cuts and scars that covered a disturbing portion of their arms and legs. The next year, they also became a youth leader and taught with me in Texas. As we became better friends, I got glimpses into their home life - with some of the struggles they were facing being scarily familiar to me. Even then, my friend made it a priority to emotionally support me during those two weeks as I struggled with untreated depression and severe bulimia. It was horrifying (but not surprising) to hear a year later that their home life had driven them to do something very...extreme. In the aftermath, their mother was acting clueless as to how it could’ve happened - garnering sympathy and support from those who would call her a “good mother” when I knew she’d known what had been going on and had chosen to do nothing. To add insult to injury, she was still invalidating my friend’s gender identity and misgendering them to anyone who would listen. It wasn’t the first time something like this had happened to someone I care about, and it’s definitely not a first when it comes to LGBT+ youth in general. It certainly won’t be the last, either. “Creatures” is what I restrained myself from saying to my friend’s mother in anger. It’s what I am saying to all the parents/caretakers out there who choose to look the other way while their children are being abused, and don’t believe them when they have the courage to speak out. Who produced the vibrant and powerful production within "Creatures"? Why did you choose to give the song this deep and gripping sonic edge? I was very lucky to work with the amazing Brian Squillace of “LANNDS” on this track as well - he has an incredible knack for taking my lyrics and bass notes (somehow fully perceiving the vibe) and turning them into something fantastic. From its conception, I knew I wanted “Creatures” to go suddenly from this ethereal, calm, “happy” tone to a darker, sadder, and more intense feel going into the bridge. As a listening experience, it’s the closest way I could think of to convey the shock of something so horrible hitting from “out of the blue”. If you’re giving your child the attention they deserve (or in this case, the lyrics), you’ll probably suspect this is leading somewhere bad. If not, I’m sure you’ll experience quite the shock - but what does that say about you? Was it challenging to write such honest and emotional lyrics for "Creatures"? What was the most difficult part of your songwriting process? It might sound strange, but I think the most challenging part was trying not to send the lyrics to my friend’s mother impulsively (I have extremely bad impulse control). Writing “Creatures” was my emotional output for processing and dealing with what happened to my friend. I was overwhelmed with the copious amount of anger and resentment I held for their mother, for everything that had happened - and for not somehow being able to do anything about it. I use “the dark” as a double meaning in the lyrics - in the case of my friend it didn’t mean suicide, but that’s not true for so many LGBT+ teens and young adults out there. To quote the Trevor Project, “more than 34,000 people die by suicide each year," making it "the third leading cause of death among 15 to 24-year-olds with lesbian, gay, and bisexual youth attempting suicide up to four times more than their heterosexual peers”. I wanted to use “Creatures” as an opportunity to bring even a small amount of awareness to this, even though it’s difficult to talk about. What should we expect from your forthcoming narrative-driven series? How does "Creatures" prepare us for what's to come? I’ve wanted to work on short films for the longest time, and I’m so excited to use my upcoming tracks as an opportunity to potentially do so! As of now, the story will center around four queer young adults, with the music video for each track focusing on a particular character, and what they’re going through. It’s still very early in the process right now, and so much is up in the air with the pandemic, but I’ve already gotten a good amount of support from friends/family (and maybe even cast some characters) - so hopefully you’ll hear more about the project in 2022! instagram.com/roses.byothernames

Suave Colione and Lewis Dudley II have combined forces, releasing the laid-back love track “Sitcom Love”, destined to make you swoon. Gospel/rap artist and songwriter Suave Colione’s passion for music and performance began at an extremely young age. Growing up in Savannah, Georgia, he developed a love for songwriting and rapping based on the Hip Hop music he heard his brother listening to throughout the years. Colione slowly began developing his craft, consistently encouraged by his close-knit family along the way. Heavily influenced by his experiences in the church, later on, his focus is now dedicated to having his lyrics and rhymes reach the hearts of those searching for Christ. Colione has managed to develop an extremely unique brand and sound for himself over the years, and we can’t wait to see what he comes out with next. Now, let's take a deeper look into his latest single, “Sitcom Love” feat. Lewis Dudley II. The song kicks off, and listeners are immediately met with Suave Colione’s smooth vocals, delivering his bars with the ease of a pro. He punches through the track with a captivating presence, allowing us the feel immediately comfortable and engaged with his lyrics. The easy-going energy is matched perfectly by the production behind his lyrics. The beat gives a laid-back feeling to the track, reminiscent of old-school Hip hop from the 90s. The groove is infectious yet relaxed at the same time, and we can’t help but get carried away by it into the world Suave Colione and Lewis Dudley II have provided. Once we reach the hook, listeners are met with Lewis Dudley II’s soulful, yearning vocals. His smooth runs float along with the hook, creating a lovely melodic contrast to the faster-paced bars that surround it. Both Suave Colione and Lewis Dudley II sing about the love they feel for the protagonist of the song, relating that feeling to the stand-out sitcom romances they've seen on the big screens, and we are eating it up. Lay back and relax as Suave Colione serenades you with his latest single, “Sitcom Love” feat. Lewis Dudley II. Welcome to BuzzMusic, Suave Colione! Congratulations on the release of your single, “Sitcom Love”! We can really feel the passion behind your lyrics within the track. Can you tell us a bit more about the inspiration behind the song? I loved sitcoms growing up especially the classics like Martin, Livin Single, Family Matters, Good Times, etc, and not only laughter and entertainment but the depiction of black love and couples strength in relevance. When I was growing up I used to tell myself when I become a man I’ll find love like that lol. Was this the first time you’d worked with Lewis Dudley II? No, it wasn’t me Lewis worked on my sophomore album as well on the track “Lost & Found” as well on several other occasions we’re like brothers and share similar perspectives on life and music What was the collaboration process like when you combined forces on the track? It was really fun, fluid, and just simply natural. I told Lewis about the concept and he loved it and once he heard the beat and the 1st verse concept the magic took place quickly You’ve noted how religion and the church have helped to shape your journey through music. Can you elaborate a little more on how it might have helped to shape your sound and get you to where you are now? Absolutely my music has been a spectator's view of my journey in God, in relation to him moving from the confines of religion to the limitless in a spiritual relationship. My music is complete “reel” hip hop unadulterated freedom of expression. The sound is always passionate and authentic and my views are relatable because it’s honestly my testimonials filled with both the good, bad, ugly as well as the triumphs and victories of the journey. Did you have a specific idea in mind of you who hoped this song would resonate with the most? The specific idea was honestly everybody all walks of life, all age groups, and ethicists no boundaries because we all have and or will love and live in serious relationships. And over amazing production and thought-provoking lyrics, the thought was to create a relatable contrast between sitcom relationships and real life What do you hope listeners will take away from this song while listening? I really want the listeners to jam, dance, and truly enjoy the sound as well really be encouraged and empowered and excited about Kingdom Marriage. instagram.com/SuaveColione

Formed by multi-instrumentalist Austin Smith, the classic indie and alternative rock-inspired sounds of Triangle Rain Club originate from his bedroom studio in the suburbs of Chicago. Austin Smith writes, performs, and produces all of the original melodies himself. Citing The Velvet Underground, The Cure, and The Jesus and Mary Chain as significant influences, the sounds from Triangle Rain Club are a myriad of the inspiration driving him. In the animated exploration of a feel-good guitar riff infiltrating your mind, we can't help but be taken to the golden hues of warmth and nostalgia in Triangle Rain Club's latest single, "Upside Down." Collaborating talents with the artistically driven Drew Keenan, there's a striking blend of musical components that bring multi-dimensional life to a record as such. Advancing with complexity in the arrangements as the plot thickens in the lyrical aspects, we dissect the effervescent atmosphere through each word shed. The opening flowing motif of "I won't remember anything. All memory will fade away, and there's nothing I can really do to explain it all to you" plays into the reminiscent times that we immediately grasp upon as we surge into a universe that is dedicated to profound honesty and lived experiences. Triangle Rain Club has a knack for pulling you into the composition by exuding simplistic lyrics that mold into your mind as the instrumentation takes the driver's seat and unleashes a hurdle of emotions right in your direct path of living. Taking in all that is "Upside Down" has us realizing that our journey is not much different from the story and emotion shared in this musical narrative of truth. We love the brilliant sound exploration of your latest single, "Upside Down." Was there a particular moment or story that drives the inspiration behind this record? Thank you for having me! “Upside Down” was inspired by some of the feelings that we’ve all experienced in the past two years. Everything feels out of place and not quite right in the world. It feels like we’ve been reoriented in a way. But the message of the song is also that, even though things are crazy, try to live each day to the fullest and have as much fun as you can. With a prominence in repetition throughout your lyrics, does this tend to be a lyrical formula that you follow throughout other songs in your musical catalog? I would definitely say that the repetition of lyrics and musical themes are common throughout my released music. I am often trying to create a mood or share an emotion without overcomplicating it, just trying to get right to the heart of things. With that said, I do find myself exploring a bit more when working on new material. What was the experience of working with Drew Keenan like? How did a collaboration come from the connection you both shared before the song's creation? Drew and I met in college and instantly became lifelong friends. We played in a band called The Natural Villains and put on a ton of wild shows at house parties and local indie rock clubs. As soon as I wrote, “Upside Down” I knew I had to get Drew on the track. His guitar solo is amazing and his backing vocals just make the track feel right. When we listen to the wording of this track, how have you found your headspace adapting since the time of writing to this very moment? I think I’ve become a little more focused since writing this track. Times are still strange but getting better slowly. Writing how I feel in the moment is really the only thing I know how to do and I’m sure that will continue into the future. I have a new EP coming out on February 2, 2022, called “Close the Door” and hopefully you will be able to hear a clear growth from Upside Down to the new tracks. twitter.com/rainclubband instagram.com/trianglerainclub facebook.com/trianglerainclub

Hailing from Irving, California, James Peter Carroll has been honing his musical craft ever since he was 7 years old. Beginning his journey with piano lessons, he slowly transitioned to taking an interest in RnB and writing music of his own. In his early teens, he discovered a passion for classic rock and picked up the guitar, which led him to write and perform in multiple different bands throughout the years. These included a pop-punk band, “Slapshack” and an alt-metal group, “The Robe”. He has since then decided to branch out on his own, releasing music under his moniker James Peter Carroll and occasionally under the pseudonym “Lamposts”. Carroll’s obvious passion for multiple genres is apparent in his creative journey, as well as his numerous solo releases (which can all be found on Bandcamp). These releases span across the folk, pop, punk, rock, and ska world, just to name a few. This time around he’s bringing us his most recent album, “Serendipity”. Released in August 2021, this 12-song record was written, performed, and recorded almost entirely by Carroll himself. Starting out as an online school assignment, Carroll was encouraged by his professor at the time to turn the beginnings of this project into a full-length album, and he happily took on the task. Now, let’s dive into James Peter Carroll’s “Serendipity”. This album mainly consists of Carroll’s raw vocals combined with an acoustic guitar, but despite this simpler take, he manages to keep us wholeheartedly engaged throughout the piece of work. “Serendipity" is raw and real, and we praise Carroll for his ability to be so honest and vulnerable in this album. Throughout “Serendipity,” Carroll’s lyrics exude themes of self-reflection, as well as commenting on the world around him. Love, loss, anger, heartbreak, and navigating one’s own demons also play roles throughout the 12 tracks. By the end of this album, Carroll has painted us a clear snapshot of his mind, while creating this vulnerable and stripped-back piece of work. Over the course of the album, Carroll occasionally brings in fuller soundscapes, with tracks like “Miracle,” “if you think of me,” and “May 25th, 2020,” all engulfed with a warm reverb, beautifully filling up the listener's world. He even branches out with the much fuller track, “Free Fall,” with soothing harmonies and drums that gracefully carry the track along. He also craftily pulls away again, where listeners are given a more stripped-back, folk experience from songs like “Purgatory”. Throughout “Serendipity,” we are once again met with Carroll’s love for many genres. We mainly hear the alt-folk inspiration in his tracks, with the occasional touch of punk (“Slimeworld”), blues (“One Whore’s Town”), and even hip hop (“*bonerz trak”). Carroll has not held back in his experimentation and variety, proving once again his creativity holds no bounds. If you’re looking for an honest and unapologetically raw performance, Carroll gives you just that with this album. Dive in and let “Serendipity” by James Peter Carroll sweep you away, available now on Bandcamp. We are loving the honest and intimate vibe of your album, “Serendipity”. Were there any specific themes or ideas you wanted to get across to listeners with this album? I had no intent in writing this album. The melodies I wrote when emerging from sleep. Then I’d write accompanying lyrics usually when I was riding my bike. At the time, the pandemic had just hit and all sorts of upheaval in the news. There were tons to draw from, and the words felt like a reconciliation from all I had done in my life; as though everything up to that moment was for the purpose of writing this album. You’ve noted that this album originally stemmed from a school project. How did your time studying help you when creating the fully realized work? The studies propelled me to work at something. Otherwise, I had no obligations and I probably would have just made art for no reason. This album is actually a combination of cutting loose (thanks to the pandemic) and all the good habits I had in store. You combine a few different styles and genres throughout “Serendipity”, and we love the variety. What would you say were your main influences/inspirations for writing the album? To me, if art is to exist purely, it should be a document in real-time. Like the conception of a melody or a creative idea, the recording should approach the same level of serendipity. If there were any disconnect between the artist and their work, it’s because the act of realization removes them from a world in perpetual change. Therefore, you have the choice of disregarding the contrived nature of the document or accepting the fleeting nature of serendipity and moving on. I liken the album to some of the field recordings of early 20th-century bluegrass or blues, where the musicians are solely performers and that the recording is a borderline intrusion. What would you say were the biggest challenges when creating “Serendipity”? I was living on campsites, evading two roommates who refused to be vaccinated, one who was dog-sick with covid. I gave them thirty days to leave and retired myself to the road. The greatest obstacle to creating this album was performing it in a way I felt accurately sketched the pandemic experience. Musically this album is rather simple. You’ve mentioned that 98% of this material was written and recorded by yourself. Do you have plans to continue this solo journey down the road, or is there anybody you’ve envisioned working with in the future on new material? I’m a little over writing music. Recording is a bear, and my ambitions are shot. This may be the last serious project I take on for a while. What's next for you? I need a girlfriend.
