Formed in the summer of 2017 in a garage in the heart of the Canadian prairies, Beach Body took their time to marinade in their creative juices. And that same garage is where they would perfect their laid-back brand of landlocked indie rock. With three EP’s already under their belt (“Plain Life” – 2017, “Curb Ciggies” – 2018, and “Beach Body Presents: The Southside Coyote Boys” – 2019) the band is thrilled to be releasing their new tunes to the world.
Music News
With a long-standing presence in the industry AEM has begun moving away from her former genre of Country (as well as her namesake Amy Metcalfe) and has focused on new endeavors. Back in the country world she found success with Billboard charting, award noms (and even writing for legend Reba McEntire) – but she found her true calling when she recorded vocals for “Letting Go” with DJ Kav. The song led to her performing an opening slot at a sold out Chainsmokers concert in Calgary Alberta and it cemented the decision to turn her focus to new goals in the music industry as it just felt “right”.
Changing her frequent destination from Nashville to Los Angeles AEM has already made a splash on the west coast writing and gaining the attention of writer and producer Dubkiller. Working with Rock Mafia for many years Dubkiller has had his hand in producing and writing for artists like Miley Cyrus, Demi Lovato, Selena Gomez, Zedd, Brittany Spears and more.

Krimsonn Joins the Ranks of NFT-fueled label Purple Fly with New Single “River Runs Dry”
Title: River Runs Dry
Label: Purple Fly
Krimsonn‘s “River Runs Dry” is a big-room-influenced vocal track that holds a deeper meaning for many emerging artists. Its driving, deep bassline is complemented by jazzy instrumental melodies and baritone vocals, combining dance music with swing elements for a unique and catchy vibe. The lyrics “I won’t stop till the river runs dry” are a testament to the challenges many artists face when trying to take risks with their music, as support for “risky” ideas is often hard to find. Purple Fly itself has been defying the norm by its very existence as the world’s first NFT-fueled record label, so it’s no surprise that Krimsonn has found himself right at home.
“‘River Runs Dry‘ is about something that many artists go through – sometimes we want to feel free to create something unique and true to the artform but it’s hard to find people that believe in unusual and risky ideas. Melodically, it combines elements of dance with swing, with catchy and strong vocals.” – Krimsonn
Purple Fly is an independent imprint utilizing crypocurrency’s hottest frontier as a platform for the spectrum of electronic music. The label’s goal is to support collaborations of all forms of art, connecting music and stunning visuals for an immersive experience that spans the sonic realms of trance to trap. Purple Fly releases NFT directly on its official website with each music drop, enabling artists to have access to direct support from their fan base while expressing their creativity. El Salvador-based Krimsonn joins artists such as BLVD., Fatman Scoop, Shaquille O’Neal with the release of “River Runs Dry” after previous tracks signed to KSHMR‘s Dharma, Hardwell‘s Revealed, Sam Feldt‘s Heartfeldt, Ultra Records, and more. He has collaborated with Thomas Gold, Jeffrey Sutorious, and more. Stay tuned for more boundary-pushing tracks from Krimsonn and Purple Fly.

What’s planned for the remainder of 2021?
For one, trying to take a holiday! Wrapping up and writing my next project, and continuing to show my face more through acoustic videos or livestreams.
Definitely a good simple Pasta Aglio e olio and Cacio e Pepe or just a good sourdough bread with some fine extra virgin greek olive oil… that always hits the spot. Always love hanging out at those brewery / bodega bars in Copenhagen. They’re not super classy but they’re super vibe-y!

THE LAZY EYES SHARE SECOND RELEASE EP2 NEW SINGLE ‘THE ISLAND’ OUT NOW
|
||||||
|
WATCH: ‘The Island’ (Official Music Video)
Lifting the veil on ‘The Island‘s making, the band share: “The Island was written about a place where none of The Lazy Eyes band members have been in real life, and acts as the sequel to The Seaside. An imaginary island that is a sort of utopia but is also filled with mystery. The writing process and a demo recording took place in Harvey’s childhood bedroom as he recalls – ‘All I remember was recording a terrible demo on GarageBand and really struggling to sing it because I had a cold that day. It’s interesting to hear the demo these days because you can hear the parts before they were refined as a result of playing the song over and over live. The demo also doesn’t include the final guitar melody which was added by Itay in a rehearsal and really finished the song off with a bang.”
The Lazy Eyes are Harvey Geraghty (vocals, guitar, keyboard), Itay Shachar (vocals, guitar), Leon Karagic (bass) and Noah Martin (drums). At 15 years old, they met at a performing arts high school which provided fertile ground to pursue their creative endeavours. In the time since, the group have built a cult following with their magnetic live set. Long before their debut single, word of them spread like wildfire. This eventually reached the BBC’s Abbie McCarthy who aired the then unreleased ‘Cheesy Love Song‘ during a takeover on Australia’s national youth broadcaster, triple j. In the year that followed, their debut EP saw The Lazy Eyes sell out headline shows, amass a combined 3 million streams and receive praise from Apple Music’s Matt Wilkinson, Bandcamp, Atwood Magazine, American Songwriter, Monster Children, land at #17 on triple j Unearthed’s Top 50 Most Played Artists of 2020 and many more.
In the time since, the group have worked hard to finesse their craft, with EP2 working to show how much more the music students had to offer following their acclaimed debut that landed The Lazy Eyes on the coveted NME 100 for 2021. Initially written while still in high school, it was only until recently that the songs of EP2 were taken to the recording studio. The band share “These are the first tracks we recorded using Ableton (previously using GarageBand) which opened up a whole lot more possibilities. These new tools inspired us to make our recordings more tapestry-like, inspired by albums like Bon Voyage by Melody’s Echo Chamber.” The response so far? Praise from V Man, Complex, Happy Mag, Gigwise, NME, KCRW, Alt Citizen, FBi Radio, Double J and Unearthed, Spin, Dublab, Northern Transmissions and others for ‘Nobody Taught Me‘ and ‘Where’s My Brain???‘; plus rave reviews for Lazyfest from the Sydney Morning Herald, Life Without Andy and more anticipation for their upcoming appearance at Bris Day Out. If EP2 saw The Lazy Eyes find their feet, there’s no doubt their jackpot will come faster than most anticipate.
EP2 is out now via The Orchard, buy/stream it here.

ALLDAY JOINS SNØW ON ‘SPILLED MY COFFEE’ FT. RXSEBOY AND JACK CULLEN

Following on from the release of her single ‘Self-Discover’, Brisbane hip hop artist Jacinta Lal unleashes her debut collection of material in the DIVYA EP.
The record is an intensely personal one for the young artist: not only is the title part of her name, but its meaning (‘divine’) is one that Jacinta has expanded upon through the music to become synonymous with feminine power and courage.
The EP came together across sessions with engineers Harry Fox and James Angus in Jacinta’s hometown of Brisbane. The six tracks on the DIVYA record capture different elements of Jacinta’s artistry and personal energy – great snapshots of the creative wave she was riding at the time of writing.
Previous singles ‘Self-Discover’, ‘Sheila’ and ‘Personal’ exude the confidence she naturally brings to the mic, while songs like ‘Funky Fierce’ and ‘M.V.P’ have seen Jacinta pour stacks of personality and biting style into each bar.
“To me, DIVYA are the ones who dare to show the world their true colours. DIVYA are the ambitious who fiercely go after their dreams. DIVYA are the strong-hearted. This does not mean they are not vulnerable. To me, DIVYA are the soulful who have been mocked and have felt pain. Lots of it. But DIVYA are the stubborn ones who get up over and over again despite being knocked over every single time before.”
Jacinta Lal
Accompanying the release of the EP, Jacinta shares new visuals for DIVYA track ‘Sheila’. As she says about this song, released near the end of 2020, ‘Sheila’ is for ‘the feisty and courageous boss queens out there.
“The ‘Sheila’ music video brings to life the character of a woman confident in her own skin. Expressed in some parts through dancing, the music video portrays the character ‘Sheila’ to be having a good time being proud of who she is.”

“Very correct ‘80s indie sound in here. That bass has just shuffled over from the Disintegration sessions.”
Triple J Unearthed, Dave Ruby Howe
“With such elegant lyrics and a chorus as sticky as honey it’s easy to imagine Caught In History absolutely rocking a festival main stage, and that’s exactly where we see Echo Adore heading. The only issue is that you will be left thinking, “Is it over so soon?”, which is genuinely rare for a song with a four minute timestamp.”
Happy Magazine
“I could hear some Australian classics in here and then I looked over at your influences and it all made sense.”
Triple J, Declan Byrne
This July, Echo Adore will be touring ‘See Red’ through WA on a three-date run. Reconnecting with different WA venues is one thing, and bringing their new show and music to audiences again is something the band can’t wait to do.
“We are always excited to be performing to a local Perth audience and we are fortunate to be once again visiting the Southwest region of Western Australia.”

Damn Excuses was partly inspired by the band’s critically-acclaimed Observatory livestream experience last year. As a global pandemic shook the foundation of the music industry in 2020, interest in the digital consumption of live music began to wane after a few months. With Observatory, Underoath breathed new life into the realm with a complete overhaul of the process – creating something equal parts intimate and monumental. It carried the weight of a sold out arena show translated through vessels consumable in fan’s living rooms. What made it all the more impactful was the fact that the entire initiative was dreamt up and brought to fruition largely by the band’s internal team. Thus, providing another shining reminder of the innovation that the six members of Underoath are capable of pulling together.
This far into their storied career, Underoath has unsurprisingly faced their fair share of adversity. Through the trials and tribulations, a commitment to their craft and a sense of accountability rooted in mutual respect for each other has ensured that each new chapter for the band continues to mould their legacy in a positive fashion. With their shared history of remarkable accolades and trying hardships continuing to shape who the individual members are as people, Underoath is still just scratching the surface of what they can accomplish as a band. There are few acts in the annals of rock history that can say their best work is still ahead of them almost two decades into their career. Fortunately, Underoath falls into that category. As the world opens back up in 2021, the band is deeply committed to living up to the high expectations that fans (and themselves) have come to expect for anything associated with the project. It will undoubtedly be something special to witness as this next chapter in the Underoath story manifests.
