Charlie and the Rays' debut album is a sprawling pastiche of roots rock and pop. The self-titled album is a gem awash with vocal harmonies, hand claps, wailing guitar licks, and deep swells of emotion.
Your favorite local Rock n’ Rollers, Stubborn Son, are back with BRAND NEW MUSIC! This is actually a -two for the price of one type deal- as we get a COOL NEW music video along with the hot off the press single, “Blood On My Teeth”. I had a few questions for Stubborn Son about […]
I am continuously blown away by the amount of talented people that reside within the confines of our city of Seattle. Whether it’s poetry, visual art, writing, dancing, podcasting, making music or whatever other crazy rad thing someone does; this city and the residents within are on fleek.

Singer/guitarist Becky Black and drummer Maya Miller have made a sound so gigantic, so fierce and raw and empowering, that it’s easy to forget there are just two people behind this brilliant, carefully constructed havoc.
