Tim Lacy and The Cherubs are back with the best one to date. Two years in the making, "BLISTERENE" captures the sound of a world gone a bit too far. This newer version of TMC has Mike Sciotto (Jefferson Starship, Marty Balin, Sun Red Sun W/ Ray Gillen, John McCoy) taking the drum slot. "I went back into my past to see who would be best suited to take this to the next level. I contacted Mike Sciotto, a long time friend who goes back to when we were teens. Mike has been living and breathing drums for as long as I can remember. We both have the same tastes and a high regard for production value. It makes a great match."

The new CD also features some scorching guitar work by Guitar God Nick Moroch (David Sanborn,Vanessa Williams,David Bowie). "It’s just great to have your friends come over and lay down some tracks. Nicky is one fantastic player. I’m proud to have laid down some work with him side by side! He did some amazing work on this CD."

Out of the mouths of babes.

The 19-year-old duo, Kyle Wyss and Orhan Chettri, hailing from St. Petersburg, Florida have graced us with the psychedelic and experimental band "Blind Man’s Colour".  The album that has redefined creative sound "Seasons Dreaming", is taking the music scene by its reigns and riding the wave of true talent and vision.  Receiving recognition from mainstream music icon Kanye West and touring with a dedicated cult following, Blind Man's Colour is using collected sound samples and fuzzy vocals to create a wave of liquid music.

Blind Man's Colour has converted sensory perception in every form to a tangible sound.  Each song is filled with blurry subconscious vibrance.  It'll delightfully and magnetically transport you to instant meditation.  Original, elegantly executed vibrations of genre shattering invocation provide outlet and serenity, song after song.

Paying homage to an eden-like state, when possibilities were endless and the universe was at our fingertips.  Blind Man's Colour could not be a more appropriate title. For if a man could not see, every feeling that would illuminate the thoughts in his mind could be generated by this music.

Wake up in your crash pad, light your incense and turn up the volume on this one. The Diamond Center’s "My Only Companion" could wake the dead like the rhythm of hard rain.  Kyle Harris and Brandi Price’s self-released second album, due out June 9th, is melodic and made for the tragic movie ending. This independent Texas trio has delivered a musical intensity worthy of timeless praise. Mystical and sexy, "My Only Companion" resonates a sound from a different time, when music was not over-produced but soulful and gritty.

The title track, "Dos Fridas," hosts Brandi Price’s lyrical stylings. Brandi’s voice emulates a youthful yet soulful vibration that brings you through what seems like an infinite climax of creativity. Eliciting a Mazzy Star inspired sound, Brandi’s voice challenges the Nancy Sinatra boot pounding drumbeat, keeping you in time with fate and purpose. Jana Price’s possessed drumming, which is best described as sassy and surf worthy, can only be matched by that of a beating heart that wants to pound. Worthy of a Moroccan belly dance, "Dos Fridas" calls on a depth driven energy that could dig into the roots of any man’s soul. Cut to Jim Morrison, spinning around in a wild hallucination of tribal drumming and the sweet sound of a woman’s wanting. Are you with me?
