STRÖM Release Video for Ensam är stark

STRÖM Release Video for Ensam är stark

STRÖM follows up their debut album with a music video for their song Ensam är stark. A song about the struggles of being a single parent.

“Ensam är stark” (Alone is Strong) is taken from STRÖM’s debut album, which was released on September 23 and after a week entered the swedish sales charts among the top positions (Hard Rock of the Week, Vinyl of the Week, Physical of the Week). The song’s lyrics are written by STRÖM’s singer, Zdravko Zizmond.

– “Ensam är stark” is about being a single parent and fighting through everyday life, perhaps fighting to be the best parent, a good colleague, a good friend and good to yourself, he says. Many people take this battle every day, without anyone patting them on the back. They are strong in being alone but they are not alone. There are many of us who have made and are making this journey.

Country-Soul Melancholy  …op z’n zwartst en mooist Het gebeurt maar zelden dat je een album voor de eerste maal hoort, die je zo onwaarschijnlijk treft en je meesleept in zijn universum dat je er van moet bijkomen. Chris Canterbury heeft met zijn ‘Quaalude Lullabies’ precies dat voor elkaar weten te krijgen, een verzameling verhalen over wanhoop, verslaving, verdriet en vooruit….ook een enkele love song.

Native Harrow - Old Kind Of Magic

Native Harrow - Old Kind Of Magic

Release date: Friday, October 28th 2022

Old Kind of Magic, the fifth longplayer from Native Harrow (their third for prestigious London based label, Loose), is a sojourn on their passage between two lands; a luxuriant and fecund annunciation.
 
In the first days of 2021, the band known as Native Harrow landed seaside in Brighton, England. Its leaders, Stephen Harms and Devin Tuel, arrived with a few trunks worth of books, clothes, guitars, and microphones. Settling in at the very top of a crumbling regency building where the seagulls call to the sun's rise and fall each day, they thought “this is the perfect place to make a record.”

Larkin Poe - Blood Harmony

Larkin Poe - Blood Harmony

The latest full-length from Larkin Poe, Blood Harmony is a whole-hearted invitation into a world they know intimately, a Southern landscape so precisely conjured you can feel the sticky humidity of the warm summer air. In bringing their homeland to such rich and dazzling life, Georgia-bred multiinstrumentalist sisters Rebecca and Megan Lovell fortify their storytelling with a blues-heavy sound that hits right in the heart, at turns stormy and sorrowful and wildly exhilarating. Rooted in the potent musicality the Nashville-based duo has brought to such widely lauded work as 2018’s Venom & Faith (a GRAMMY® Award nominee for Best Contemporary Blues Album), Blood Harmony affirms Larkin Poe as an essential force in shaping the identity of Southern rock-and-roll, breathing new energy into the genre with both forward-thinking perspective and a decidedly feminine strength.
