New Video From The Broadcast + Upcoming Album

Soul rockers The Broadcast released a new video.  The song, "Don't Waste It", is from their upcoming studio album.  The album, Dodge the Arrow, is scheduled to be released on Tuesday, September 24.  Check out the video below. 

U.S. Royalty Release New Single

DC area band U.S. Royalty released “Blue Sunshine”, the first single and title track from their upcoming album, yesterday.  

“Blue Sunshine” is a luscious piece of psychedelia infused with a sophisticated mix of rhythm, superbly restrained guitars and lone spirit lyrical imagery. The anticipation level for Blue Sunshine just went up another notch.

Blue Sunshine is scheduled to be released in September 2013.
