ALL THEM WITCHES – ” Live In Brussels “

All Them Witches are giving away their new live album, Live In Brussels, for free. The album has been issued as a thank you to loyal fans, many of whom helped raise $4800 inside 24 hours when the band’s money was stolen on their recent US tour supporting latest album “Dying Surfer Meets His Maker” . It was recorded at a sold-out show at Ancienne Belgique in Brussels.

“This was right in the middle of our first European tour,” recalls drummer Robby Staebler. “The AB club is seriously badass, great crew members and incredible hospitality. I remember we were late to the load in and soundcheck because we were driving ourselves around and tour managing everything on our own – which was stupidly stressful. We missed soundcheck totally and were unable to set up our gear.

“Also, I had a runner go and get me drumsticks, but they ended up being totally different than what I use. It was a stressful beginning to the show! Once the opening band were done we had to go set up everything and soundcheck for the crowd as fast as we could. That is never awesome. But the show felt great.

“Aside from the general exhaustion of being one of our drivers and not getting any regular sleep, the show felt great. You really feel it at the end of a performance, and I remember we were all pretty happy with the show – great stage sound and a great first time crowd. We stayed in a hostel that night and danced to the Spice Girls. I slept well that night.”

Simply put, Kyler Daron’s “Ellie EP” is among my favorite EP’s that I’ve heard so far in 2015. From the opening “Our Own Design” to the concluding “Twenty”, there’s something real that sets you down and makes you listen closely and realize he’s singing your life without even knowing you. Or maybe it’s that I can relate to the window he is providing to his life.

Either way is a powerful hook to his music and especially so for me. I hope that you give him a listen and let me know what you think.

Kyler Daron is an independent, folk/rock artist based in Nashville, Tennessee. Originally hailing from Boise, Idaho, he quickly relocated to Nashville to study Music Business and Audio at Belmont University while also focusing on writing and performing. His first EP “Ellie” was released earlier this year, but Daron’s most recent EP “Whispers in the Woods,” mixed by Paul Moak of the Smoakstack, has gained the most traction. The EP contains six introspective songs featuring guitar, cello, and soulful vocals. Daron has competed in Belmont University’s famous Rock Showcase series, played several full band shows around town, and has received praise from producers, synch licensing companies, and fans alike.

JOEY KNEISER – ” Wilderness “

I had the top albums for the year all figured out and I was happy about my selections but I’ve played this album so many times. Joey Kneiser messed up my favourite playlists by releasing this beauty of an album late in the year. The Wildness is a great album filled with soulful southern rock’n’roll. Equally magnificent as anything Glossary has put out and that’s a really lot said. Little pieces of Petty, Young, Morrison, Blue Mountain, and Springsteen all balled up into an alternative Country/Americana masterpiece. Like Nick Green said, this will leave everything in its path sitting with a big fat grin.

The songs that make up “The Wildness” hearken back to Kneiser’s musical first loves. Bruce Springsteen, The Replacements, The Band, Neil Young, Tom Petty, Bob Dylan and Van Morrison all make their influence known on the record. “I wanted to make something simple and classic sounding with the writing as the centerpiece.” The record goes from rock and roll driven barn burners like “Run Like Hell” and “The Heart Ever Breaking” to folk songs like “Heaven Only Wants Us Once We’re Dead” and “Every Port In The Storm.” As to the overall vision for the record, Kneiser says, “These songs are a love letter to rock and roll and to the person closest to you who lets you pursue it.”

In addition to his own music, Kneiser has produced and recorded records for numerous artists, including Austin Lucas and Wooden Wand. He has also made music videos for artists like John Moreland and Jason Isbell.

JULIEN BAKER – ” Something “

When you stumble upon a songwriter as tender as Julien Baker, the initial urge is to keep her all to yourself. The Tennessee native has been working as part of Memphis’ Forrister for a while now, but her solo debut Sprained Ankle sounds effortless, a wellspring of wisdom and weariness from an impossibly astute 20-year-old. Baker recorded her debut at Matthew E. White’s Spacebomb Studios, which is why every note and lyric sounds clear and clean like polished silver. Julien Baker’s spare, magnificent songs gleam and shimmer, fractured precursors of things to come.
