French DJ/producer/taste-maker Martin Solveig has just released his punchy new single, "My Love," today on 6/29/18. That said, it's likely that you'll be hearing it all summer long, especially if you're doing the Ibiza thing this year. ...

#albumoftheday = PANIC! AT THE DISCO: PRAY FOR THE WICKED

I know I’ve said that I don’t do album reviews anymore, but the new Panic! At the Disco album, Pray For The Wicked, is just so life-altering that I can’t help it. And by life-altering, I mean that it just might end up nudging its way onto my Top 20 Albums of All-Time...

#songoftheday / #amlistening = CIARAN LAVERY: “13”
'"13" is the latest single from Irish singer/songwriter Ciaran Lavery and it's like Ryan Adams, Conor Oberst and none other than Bob Dylan sat in a room together and churned out a song. "Love is like a suicide," Lavery sings, his lyrics raw and his voice a...

AN ALL-NEW CANDID CONVERSATION WITH DOE PAORO

interview by Michael McCarthy I first heard Doe Paoro’s intoxicating music when she opened for a Sylvan Esso show back in 2014. Like her songs, the way she moved around the stage, dancing, was hypnotic. I felt like a snake moving to the sounds of a charmer. A night or two later, she...

#songoftheday / #amlistening = Enuff Z’Nuff: “Metalheart”
Enuff Z'Nuff's last album, Clowns Lounge, was basically an album of old demos with one new song, "Dog On A Bone." The new song, which I thought was killer, featured bassist and founding member Chip Z'Nuff on vocal duties. ...

#songoftheday / #amlistening = FREEDOM FRY: “DIE TRYIN”
Parisian-born Marie Seyrat calls herself a jerk in the lyrics to "Die Tryin," a song about how you can try to "get" someone -- to figure them out or relate to them -- and it can seem impossible. Still, as you could guess from the song's title,...

#songoftheday / #amlistening = BUTCHER BABIES: “LOOK WHAT WE’VE DONE”
I've been a fan of Butcher Babies since they debuted, but I'll admit that their music has often taken a backseat to their image. That isn't the case with this video for "Look What We've Done," which is like a combination of a music video and...

CONCERT REVIEW: STRYPER AT MIXX 360 5/12/18

by Michael McCarthy Last Saturday night on 5/12/18, I was fortunate enough to catch Stryper live for the third time in my life. It feels weird admitting that, that it was only my third time seeing them, because they’ve been one of my all-time favorite bands – easily in my top 5 –...

#songoftheday / #amlistening = SELENA GOMEZ: “BACK TO YOU”
Well, it's not from a new Selena Gomez album, which I know we're all dying for, but here's a new track by the woman herself, "Back to You," which hails from the Thirteen Reasons Why Season 2 soundtrack. And what a superb song it is. It's...

#songoftheday / #amlistening = WHITNEY FENIMORE: “STONES”
Last month I interviewed Whitney Fenimore, a former contestant of The Voice from season 13. Her single at the time was "Find Your Love," a sweeping, almost ethereal ballad that blows across your skin like a cool breeze on a hot day....

MUCH MORE THAN THE VOICE: AN INTERVIEW WITH WHITNEY FENIMORE

interview by Michael McCarthy The reason this interview is titled Much More Than The Voice is that today’s subject is Whitney Fenimore, who you may recall from season 13 of a little show called The Voice. She did a touching rendition of Drake’s “Hold On, We’re Going Home,” which she rearranged herself, at...

CONCERT + VENUE REVIEW: JULIANA HATFIELD WITH ABBIE BARRETT AT ONCE, SOMERVILLE, MA 4/6/18

review and photos by Michael McCarthy This past Friday night I finally saw the legendary Juliana Hatfield – one of my favorite artists – in concert. Being a fellow Masshole (slang for Massachusetts resident), I should’ve seen her years ago. I’m honestly not sure why I didn’t. I’m sure I wanted to and...
